What? We are doing cars now? Well, let's just say that we were fortunate to be invited to witness a new Mercedes-Benz car launch - the Mercedes-AMG A35 Sedan. It is a new A-Class Sedan priced at RM348,888 and here's what you need to know about it.
Powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engine, it can produce up to 306 horsepower and 400Nm peak torque (Torque) with AMG Performance 4Matic four-wheel drive system plus Race-Start track control system, as well as accelerate from 0 up to 100km/h within 4.8 seconds. For the transmission system, the car is equipped with AMG Speedshift 7G Dual Clutch Transmission (7-speed dual-clutch transmission).
On the other hand, the wheelbase is measured 2729mm and the interior is decorated with silver metal finish. The chair features Artico leather + Dinamica fibre with red stitching for that sporty look and this same goes for the steering wheel, which also looks like a sports car.
That said, the whole car appearance is quite sporty in design thanks to the front bumper and spoiler underneath. The front bumper still has the Mercedes-AMG-style air intake, while the sides are equipped with a 19-inch five-frame AMG sports rim, a four-piston brake calliper that is 350mm in front of the perforated brake disc (and 330mm behind). The rear end of the car uses a two-sided exhaust pipe with a small duckbill tail design.
Car lovers may be glad to know that the car has been upgraded to enhance the torsional rigidity of the A-Class body, while using the AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension parts with lightweight aluminium components. For safety, the AMG A35 Sedan comes with a standard set of advanced active safety equipment, including active brake assist system, active maintenance lane assist system, blind-spot detection system, and active parking. Auxiliary systems and more.
There are also five driving modes: Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport + and Individual. The MBUX multimedia system provides AMG TRACK PACE track recording program, which allows it to record and analyze your driving. Why? Because for safety reasons.
So that's all about our first-ever car report! What do you think? For more details about the Mercedez-AMG A35 Sedan, please visit the official website of Mercedes-Benz Malaysia over here. Stay tuned for more local tech news at TechNave.com.
