Having freshly landed in showrooms across the country, the Mercedes-AMG A35 has attained a head start on its slightly bigger sibling. In news that will delight fanatics of the German performance brand, this early release suggests it has all been worth the wait. Nonetheless, if you can’t hold out that long, be assured that you have a ripsnorting hot hatch right here, which also comes in a sedan format for those looking to dial down the sporty aesthetics. But let’s not kid ourselves here, the A35 is more than a striking and imposing dose of visual ecstasy - it’s all about flat out driving nirvana. With a lightning quick 0-100km/h time of just 4.7 seconds, you’ll be left catching your breath. It’ll make more sense once you size up the 4-cylinder 2L turbo motor, it connects impeccably with a seven-speed dual-clutch and AMG 4Matic AWD to deliver up to half of its 400Nm to the rear. The mechanical tuning from the A-Class range extends to adaptive damping, a fine-tuned suspension setup, and tweaks to the traction and stability system. It culminates in an aggressive show of force on the road, but always feels assured and meticulous. A solid list of standard features and safety aids, plus luxurious interior comfort add buyer appeal. Just remember, this devilish hatch takes no prisoners - it’ll take some taming, if you’re up to it?
