Here it is the
Mercedes-AMG A 35 4Matic. The German car manufacturer says it will target
younger buyers with the A 35 Sedan, much like its hatchback sibling. The A 35
Sedan is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces
302 hp and 400 Nm of torque. All of this power is sent to the
ground courtesy of an AMG Speedshift 7G dual-clutch transmission and advanced
4MATIC all-wheel drive system. The A 35 Sedan can hit 96 km/h in 4.7
seconds and tops out at a limited 250 km/h.
The new Mercedes-AMG A 35
Sedan can be differentiated from other A-Class Sedan models thanks to some
sporty components. Among these changes include a front splitter with silver
chrome trim elements and a set of 18-inch alloy wheels. Mercedes-AMG also
outfits the car with the AMG Line side skirts, a trunk lid lip spoiler, rear
diffuser, and dual tailpipes.
Customers can tweak the exterior of the A 35 Sedan
to their taste through the AMG Aerodynamics Package and AMG Night Package, the
first of which includes some small aero add-ons. As for the AMG Night Package,
it incorporates black design elements. 19-inch alloy wheels are also optional.
Inside, the punchy sedan comes equipped with the
latest AMG steering wheel that incorporates a flattened lower section and a
perforated leather grip area. There is also red contrasting topstitching and
galvanized steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Additionally, there is also
a small selectable drive programme controller mounted to the wheel. The A 35 Sedan comes complete with the same MBUX infotainment system as all
latest-generation A-Class models. This system combines a fully digital gauge
cluster with a large infotainment screen.
Drivers will have five selectable drive programmes
at their fingertips; Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport +, and Individual. These
different modes alter key parameters including the response of the engine and transmission.
Most of these modes speak for themselves with Individual perhaps being the most
interesting. This mode allows drivers to select individual parameters to suit
their preferences.
Helping to ensure the sedan can brake just as well
as it accelerates, Mercedes-AMG has fitted 4-piston monoblock fixed calipers
with 350 mm discs at the front. The rear incorporates single piston calipers
and 330 mm discs. The Mercedes-AMG A35 Sedan can also be optioned with the AMG Ride
Control system, allowing drivers to switch between three suspension
configurations. This system operates automatically and adapts the damping
forces for each wheel according to driving and road conditions.
No announcement has been made about when the A 35
Sedan will hit dealerships or how much it will cost. We expect to see it
premiere at the New York Auto Show
