The Mercedes-AMG A35 is a compelling entry into the world of AMG, and while the hatchback version is well-known, the sedan variant offers a distinct appeal. At first glance, distinguishing the AMG A35 from its non-AMG counterparts is effortless, showcasing the aggressive design language synonymous with AMG. The front fascia immediately commands attention with its redesigned headlights, echoing the style seen in the GLE and GLC models, seamlessly integrated with the assertive bumper and the iconic Panamericana grille. This powerful front end leaves no doubt about the A35’s performance intentions.
Moving along the side profile, the sedan body style truly sets itself apart from the hatchback. The sleek silhouette, standing at 1408mm tall and 4570mm long, exudes a cooler aesthetic, particularly for those who appreciate a more refined sporty look. The addition of black spoilers on both the front bumper and the boot lid, combined with the striking 19-inch 5-double spoke black AMG rims, creates a visually stunning package. Beyond aesthetics, the sedan configuration also provides a practical advantage, increasing boot space from 370 liters in the hatchback to a more generous 420 liters.
At the rear, the A35 maintains a sporty yet understated presence. The diffuser, spoiler, and dual exhaust tips (one on each side) are present, contributing to the AMG DNA without being overly ostentatious. This balanced approach ensures the A35 sedan is both sporty and sophisticated.
The Upgraded Steering Wheel and Interior Tech
For those familiar with earlier versions of the Mercedes-AMG A35, a significant upgrade awaits inside: the steering wheel. Gone is the more conventional steering wheel; in its place is the highly desirable AMG Performance steering wheel. This new wheel is not just visually appealing but also functionally enhanced with a driving mode selector and a dedicated “traction control” button directly integrated. These tactile controls offer immediate access to key performance settings, enhancing the driver engagement.
Beyond the steering wheel, the A35 AMG is equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety technologies. Features such as a 360° camera, lane departure warning, blind spot detection, and adaptive cruise control are all included. These systems contribute to both safety and convenience, making the A35 AMG a well-rounded package for daily driving and spirited performance.
