At first glance, distinguishing between an A 35 hatchback and sedan from the front might seem impossible, but the line between an AMG and a standard Mercedes-Benz is strikingly clear. The redesigned headlights, reminiscent of the GLE and GLC models, seamlessly integrate with the assertive bumpers and the iconic Panamericana grille. This aggressive front fascia immediately signals the performance pedigree of the Mercedes-AMG A 35.
Moving along the side profile, the distinction between the hatchback and sedan versions becomes undeniable. The sedan, with its sleek silhouette, boasts a more sophisticated appeal. Standing at 1408 mm tall and 4570 mm long, the sedan exudes a streamlined aesthetic further enhanced by black spoilers on both the front bumper and boot. The 19-inch 5-double spoke black AMG rims complete the “picture perfect” look, adding a final touch of sporty elegance. Beyond aesthetics, opting for the sedan configuration increases boot space from 370 to a more practical 420 liters, blending style with enhanced utility.
Turning to the rear, the diffuser, spoiler, and dual exhaust tips (one on each side) are present, maintaining a sporty yet understated appearance. While not overtly aggressive, these elements subtly hint at the performance capabilities of the AMG A 35, offering a refined sporty aesthetic.
The Upgraded Steering Wheel: A Key Interior Highlight
For those familiar with earlier iterations of the Mercedes-AMG A 35, a notable upgrade awaits within the cabin. Gone is the previous, somewhat ordinary steering wheel. In its place is a significantly enhanced AMG steering wheel, now equipped with a dedicated driving mode selector and a traction control button directly integrated. This driver-centric design elevates the tactile experience and provides immediate access to performance settings. Enthusiasts will appreciate these geeky yet functional additions, which underscore the AMG’s performance focus and driver engagement. Complementing the performance enhancements is a comprehensive suite of safety technology, including a 360° camera, lane departure warning, blind spot detection, and adaptive cruise control, ensuring a safe and technologically advanced driving experience.
