Here's what it's like behind the wheel: ???? Driving Experience: ? Smooth & Easygoing The 7-speed dual-clutch automatic (7G-DCT) gearbox is smooth in most driving situations—shifting is quick and relatively seamless. The 1.5L diesel engine is quiet and refined, especially once warmed up, though it doesn't have a huge surge of power. It's more about smooth progression than rapid acceleration. ?? Performance 0–62 mph in around 11.3 seconds isn't fast, but it's totally fine for city and relaxed motorway driving. The 109 PS and 260 Nm of torque mean it feels punchy enough at lower speeds or when overtaking in town. ???? Handling & Suspension Being the AMG Line, the suspension is firmer than on regular trims—more planted and agile, especially around bends. However, that firmer suspension also means it can feel a bit harsh on rougher UK roads or potholes, especially with the larger 18" AMG alloys. Steering is direct, with good feedback, so it feels sharp for a diesel hatchback. City Driving & Parking Compact size and responsive steering make it easy to maneuver around town. Optional parking sensors or reverse camera (depending on spec) help a lot, especially with its slightly limited rear visibility. Refinement & Cabin Comfort Mercedes does a good job keeping engine and wind noise low, even at motorway speeds. The interior quality in the AMG Line feels premium, with soft-touch materials, sporty seats, and an elegant dashboard.
