The fact that we already
know what the 5-door A35 looks like definitely helps, as Mercedes-AMG unveiled
it just last month, along with a full specs sheet, focused around its
turbocharged 2.0-liter engine.
The fact that this A35 Sedan prototype still has a
few bits and pieces covered up means very little. We know to expect a unique
grille, more aggressive bumpers, a boot lid spoiler, 18-inch wheels, stiffer
suspension and bigger brakes. In fact, we saw a pretty accurate rendering just
a few weeks back, although it was missing the spoiler and the chunkier rear
diffuser.
The interior will come with a sporty
flat-bottom steering wheel, microfiber accents and contrast stitching, plus an
assortment of AMG-specific settings, options and badges. Underneath the hood of the 5-door
A35 lies a turbocharged 2.0-liter 306 PS engine, which also produces
400 Nm of torque. The four-door model will utilize the exact same
engine, as well as the same seven-speed dual-clutch automatic and
performance-oriented AWD system.
We also anticipate a similar 0-100 km/h acceleration time, where the hatchback is rated at 4.7 seconds. As for tech, the new model will
feature Mercedes‘ latest MBUX infotainment system, plus a full suite of
driver-assistance and safety systems, such as GPS-enabled cruise control,
emergency braking and lane-change assist.
Unlike the A35 hatchback, the sedan model will also
be sold in the United States, alongside the more powerful A45 variant. We
expect Mercedes-AMG to launch the A35 Sedan early next year.
