CAR OF THE WEEK
Meet The Revitalised Mercedes-Benz A35 AMG
_____________________________________________________
If you're after a compact car that doesn’t just look fast but feels like it’s been sprinkled with AMG magic, the 2024 Mercedes-AMG A35 4MATIC Premium Plus might be your perfect match. This isn’t just a nip-and-tuck facelift—it’s a hot-hatch glow-up with proper performance flair and sleek style upgrades. Let’s take a spin through the top 5 features that make this A-Class refresh stand out from its predecessor.
1. Panamericana Grille – The AMG Family Resemblance
First impressions count, and the A35’s new Panamericana grille hits hard. Gone is the subtle twin-bar front; in its place is the bold, vertical-slat design lifted straight from big-brother AMGs like the GT. It’s more aggressive, more premium, and frankly, more fun to stare at in your rear-view mirror (if you’re lucky enough to be in front of one). This is the first A35 to wear the iconic grille—giving it some serious visual swagger and a stronger connection to AMG’s racing roots.
2. Sharper Style All Around
The facelift doesn't stop at the front. The front bumper has been redesigned, the headlights and taillights are now sleeker LEDs, and the rear sports a redesigned diffuser for a more dynamic look. The details are sharper, and the result is a more modern, purposeful vibe. It’s still a hatchback—but now with more attitude.
3. Cabin Comfort & MBUX Tech Overhaul
Step inside, and you’ll immediately notice it’s not all go and no show. The A35’s cabin is more luxurious than ever, with new upholstery options featuring microfiber and red contrast stitching for that sporty edge. The MBUX infotainment system is also smarter, snappier, and now includes an augmented reality sat-nav, voice assistant (“Hey Mercedes!”), and dual 10.25-inch screens that look straight out of a sci-fi movie. It’s like sitting in a tech cocoon with launch control.
4. Premium Plus = Maximum Spec
The "Premium Plus" badge isn’t just for show—it means you’re getting Multibeam LED headlights, a panoramic sunroof, 360-degree camera, and memory seats as standard. These were optional extras before, but now they’re part of the package. It’s basically the A-Class on full cheat mode—everything you want, no fiddly add-ons required.
5. Same Power, Smoother Delivery
Under the hood, the 2.0-litre turbocharged engine still kicks out 306 hp and 400 Nm of torque. But updates to the suspension and adaptive damping system mean the ride is smoother in Comfort and sharper in Sport+. You’ll notice improved balance and grip thanks to the 4MATIC all-wheel drive—especially when tackling corners or launching off the line.
The Verdict
The 2024 A35 4MATIC Premium Plus is more than just a facelift—it’s a full-blown refresh that adds real value, style, and flair to an already impressive package. With the Panamericana grille leading the charge, it's now not only fast and fun but also properly AMG. If you want a daily driver with a wild side, this A35 deserves a spot on your driveway.
