Last month, Mercedes-AMG presented the A35 hot
hatch, and now the car is available to order in several European markets,
including Germany. The cheapest AMG model has an MSRP of € 47,528.60 (US$ 54,183) in its
home market and benefits from the specific AMG body kit on the outside and the
MBUX infotainment system inside.
Power comes from a 2.0-liter four-banger making 306
PS and 400 Nm of torque. The unit works together
with a seven-speed DCT and standard all-wheel drive, rocketing the A35 to 100
km/h in 4.7 seconds and up to a top speed electronically limited at
250 km/h.
The AMG Aerodynamics Package, which was developed in
the wind tunnel and improves handling at high speeds, is available as an
option, along with the AMG Night Package, 19-inch wheels and others. As usual, Mercedes-AMG is
celebrating the launch of the new model with the Edition 1 version. It will
remain on sale for the next 18 months and is more lavishly equipped compared to
the regular A35, as it gets the Aerodynamics and Night packages, as well as
19-inch alloys, as standard.
Inside, it gets black, grey Artico or Dinamica
upholstery with blue accents and medium-grey contrast stitching, heated
performance seats, sports steering wheel, ambient lighting, aluminum trim
elements and an ‘Edition’ badge on the steering wheel.
The Mercedes-AMG A35 Edition 1 uses the same engine
as the regular A35 and has identical performance, but due to the added extras,
as well as being a limited production run, it starts from € 55,364.75 (US$ 63,116). Deliveries of both models will
start in December.
