Sometimes, measuring up the premium segment has to boil down to a numbers game. Everyone has their own opinions about which cars are better to drive. But cars in Malaysia, being as expensive as they are have to make financial sense. Even when talking about a category of cars so blatantly infamous for delivering less metal for more money.
With that out of the way, the clear winner for luxury compact of the year has to go to the Mercedes-AMG A45. The numbers say it all. It can more than keep up with the competition and costs so much less.
