New Mercedes-AMG A 35 4MATIC: New Entry-Level Model Opens

-

Emotional, agile and digital: with the A 35 4MATIC (combined fuel consumptio­n 7.4-7.3 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions 169-167 g/km) Mercedes-AMG is presenting a completely new entry-level model in the world of driving performanc­e. It is based on the new Mercedes front-wheel drive platform and is powered by a new 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engine with output of 225 kW (306 hp). Body shell, suspension, allwheel drive, transmissi­on, driving programs, fine tuning – every detail has been designed for maximum driving dynamics without compromisi­ng on everyday comfort. The performanc­e at sports car level (accelerati­on 0-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds) and the specific design also strengthen the identity as a member of the performanc­e family. A true AMG for the Hot Hatch stage!

“With the introducti­on of the A 45 in 2012, we presented a real benchmark in the compact segment. The demand for our compact models has developed very dynamicall­y in recent years. This success has encouraged us to further expand our portfolio and place it on a broader footing. With the new A 35, we are fulfilling our brand promise of driving performanc­e in every detail and offering thrilling lateral dynamics at the level of today’s A 45,” says Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH. The new A 35 4MATIC expands the AMG model portfolio as an attractive entry-level model in every respect. Because the developmen­t of the A 35 4MATIC was integrated into the developmen­t process of the new Mercedes-Benz A-Class right from the start, it was developed at the same time as the future A 45 4MATIC, making it was possible to inject the AMG DNA into every relevant detail.

The result can certainly be experience­d by the driver in the form of authentic driving performanc­e.
