- 2019 Mercedes-Benz A35 AMG 4Matic cost and equipment
The 2018 Paris Motor Show was the site of the debut of many cool new products, one of which was the charged Mercedes-Benz A35 AMG 4Matic hatchback. In the company's lineup, the novelty is located between the basic version of the A200 and the top-end modification of the A45. A model with a similar index simply did not exist before.
Compared to the civilian version of the A-series, the A35 AMG 4Matic modification has a more aggressive appearance, a retuned and significantly upgraded suspension, as well as a high-performance turbo-petrol engine that turns the hatchback into a real rocket.
According to the manufacturer's idea, the novelty should compete with the ruling points of the models in the person of the Audi S3 and the Volkswagen Golf R, but time will tell whether Stuttgart will succeed or not. But be that as it may, the car really turned out to be excellent and deserves more attention.
Exterior of the Mercedes-Benz A35 AMG 4Matic
The new Mercedes A35 AMG 4Matic has a bright, dynamic and modern appearance, made in the corporate style of other models of the company.
"Muzzle" hatchback embellished with an embossed hood, predatory head optics, a special design hexagonal false radiator grille with a large logo in the center, as well as a stylish front bumper with a trapezoidal air intake and a lot of aerodynamic elements.
New product profile exactly repeats the decisions of the civilian modification: a long hood, heavily littered A-pillars, a sloping roofline, circular wheel arches and expressive sidewalls.
Hatchback feed retained the compact luggage compartment lid and stylish LED marker lights. From the new - a larger rear spoiler, a modified rear bumper with a sports diffuser and two round exhaust pipes and, of course, the brand nameplates "AMG".
The manufacturer decided not to change the external dimensions:
| Length, mm | 4419 |
| Width, mm | 1796 |
| Height, mm | 1440 |
| Wheelbase, mm | 2729 |
| Ground clearance, mm | 104 |
Above the road, the car rises to a maximum of 104 mm, which imposes a number of restrictions on driving on country roads.
Traditionally, potential buyers will be offered wide range of body colors, including the choice of exclusive colors. Special attention should be paid to the standard 19-inch "rollers", shod in low-profile Pirelli PZero rubber, designed to provide maximum grip.
Interior design of the new Mercedes-Benz
The architecture of the front dashboard completely repeats that of an ordinary Mercedes A-class, which means that the buyer can count on a stylish design, first-class finish and impeccable assembly.
In front of the driver is the AMG sports multifunction steering wheel, trimmed with genuine leather and Alcantara, and also received a slightly cut lower rim.
One of the most striking elements that instantly catches the eye is the widescreen panel, which houses two 7 or 10.25-inch monitors, one of which serves as a dashboard, and the other is responsible for the multimedia component and navigation.
In addition to the screen of the multimedia center, in the central part of the dashboard there are spectacular air deflectors resembling the turbines of a jet fighter, as well as a laconic air conditioning control unit.
Front riders the manufacturer has prepared first-class sports seats with integrated headrests, excellent lateral support, moderately hard filling and a sufficient number of adjustments.
An impressive transmission tunnel passes between the seats, conventionally dividing the salon into two separate cockpits - the driver and the front passenger. On it, the designers placed a gear selector, a special touchscreen multimedia control unit, as well as several functional mechanical buttons.
Second row passengers a comfortable sofa is offered, providing the maximum level of comfort for only two riders. However, if desired, the third passenger can also fit here, only he will be a little uncomfortable because of the towering seat and a high transmission tunnel.
Trunk volume new items exactly repeats that in the usual A200 and is equal to 370 liters, while it can be increased by more than 2.5 times by folding the backs of the rear sofa (40:20:40). In the underground space of the luggage compartment there is a small set of tools and a compact dock.
As a subtotal, it should be noted that the new Mercedes A35 AMG 4Matic, like its civilian version, has one of the most luxurious and presentable interiors in the class... However, you don't expect anything else from Mercedes.
