The first special edition is mouth watering with its flamboyant appearance and luxurious interior.
On the whole, A35 continues the new A-level design language, but it is more radical in some details. The air intake under the front bumper is larger than the ordinary A-class, and the visual impact is stronger. In addition, the design of "air knife" has been added on both sides. The front fender is still printed with the words "Turbo inherited from the predecessor", and the 19-inch wheel hub and AMG caliper are still the two points that can best show their identity on the whole side, while the tail adopts a circular exhaust with bilateral exhaust. Of course, the rear of the car that embodies the identity of a "performance car" is not unexpected. However, it should be noted that the tail wing, washed blue color scheme, "wind knife" and "flower pulling" in the picture are unique to the first special edition.
In addition to the differences in appearance, the A35 Special Advanced Edition also has some differences in the interior compared with the ordinary A35. It uses a better wrapped "bucket chair", and the upper panel of the glove box is also printed with "AMG" flowers. The AMG high-performance steering wheel with Napa leather is not only more powerful than the ordinary steering wheel in design and function, but also has two buttons on the left and right sides of the steering wheel center, which can quickly switch driving modes. The two 10.25 inch screens located in front of the driver are familiar product points. Besides Mercedes-Benz, the latest Mercedes-Benz? Me interconnection function and MBUX system, it also provides AMG? Tracking? Pace function, the system is mainly aimed at car owners in the field of racing. The lap, segment and acceleration time can be recorded, so that users can see their driving data on the track more intuitively, thus improving driving skills.
In terms of configuration, A35 still maintains its extraordinary luxury style. Appearance has geometric multi-beam LED lights, keyless entry, panoramic sunroof; There are 64-bit atmosphere lights, cruise control, seat heating and other functions in the car. Unfortunately, lane merging assistance, lane departure warning and lane keeping assistance systems must be installed. Of course, for a small steel gun that pays attention to performance and fun, its power and control are the focus we should pay attention to.
Performance is further optimized, emphasizing driving pleasure.
The new Mercedes-Benz A35 adopts M260 four-cylinder turbocharged engine, with the maximum power of 225 kW and 306 HP and the maximum torque of 400n·M, which matches the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The new car is also equipped with a 4MATIC intelligent four-wheel drive system, with an acceleration of 4.7 seconds per 100 kilometers.
According to the official statement of Mercedes-Benz, the research and development of A35 was developed together with A45S, and it has not been listed in China yet. This also means that A35 is not the product of AMG's "one person, one machine", but it also has very distinctive AMG characteristics. The new engine adopts the honing technology of conical cylinder to reduce internal friction and improve combustion efficiency. Mercedes-Benz also applied for a patent for this technology. The design of double scroll tube minimizes the adverse effects between gases in the cylinder and improves the efficiency of the engine. Water-cooled charge air cooler and independent air inlet ensure the best power output. Intelligent thermal management, high-precision fuel injection and ignition of engine and oil can be realized through CAMTRONIC variable valve control.
As an AMG exhaust system relished by consumers, I believe many users buy AMG as a kind of motivation. The exhaust sound of A35 can produce different timbres according to different driving modes. But the most surprising thing this time is that it adds a silent start mode, which can keep the vehicle quiet all the time. It is estimated that many car owners start cold in the morning or go home late at night to disturb residents.
In terms of chassis, first of all, let's take a look at this set of variable four-wheel drive on A35, which was also developed by Mercedes-Benz to make drivers have more driving pleasure. The 4MATIC of A35 can be switched between front wheel drive and 50:50 front and rear wheels at will to adapt to different driving dynamics. In addition, the multi-disc clutch integrated on the rear axle is responsible for the variable torque distribution between the front axle and the rear axle. The factors affecting torque distribution include not only speed, lateral and longitudinal acceleration and steering angle, but also the speed difference between wheels, the selected gear and the position of throttle.
Due to the electronic control, compared with traditional hydraulic equipment, its response is more flexible. When the ESP is turned on, the 4MATIC system will remain in the "comfort" mode, and when it is switched to the "ESP motion control" or "ESP off" state, the 4MATIC system will switch to the "motion" mode, thus achieving more flexible control and higher stability.
In terms of suspension, it still maintains the form of the former McPherson and the rear four-bar linkage, but Mercedes-Benz has taken a step further in details. The front suspension is made of aluminum to reduce unsprung weight and improve flexibility. AMG brake calipers with radial bolts? The special front steering knuckle comes from AMG racing technology. The suspension of the four-bar linkage is rigidly connected to the vehicle body through the subframe, and the AMG fork, swing arm, bracket and bearing are used to ensure the maximum driving stability and flexibility. AMG provides three suspension control modes from comfort to movement, so as to adjust the damping force of each suspension within milliseconds according to driving conditions and road conditions, and improve the ride comfort and flexibility to the same extent.
From the internal optimization of the engine and the decentralization of racing technology, the powerful and changeable four-wheel drive mode and shock absorption. This A35 has become full of people's desire to drive. It can also be seen that although there is no blessing of "one person, one machine", there is no doubt that A35 is still worthy of the name of AMG. Then the problem is coming. Is it worth starting with?
There is no opponent at the same level. Do you want A35 or wait for A45S?
Although the hatchback performance cars we called "small steel guns" were all the rage in China, at that time, major car companies were also very willing to launch these small cars with strong performance and full of fun, such as Golf R, BMW M 135, Audi S3 (although it is a car, it is loved by many car fans), Renault Megane rs and Ford Focus? RS is a popular amusement vehicle, in which the cash golf R has reached the end of its product life, and the brand-new golf R has been released overseas, but it will take a long time to enter China. The brand-new BMW M 135 has changed from rear drive to four-wheel drive. At present, BMW does not intend to introduce it into China, and Audi S3 is at the end of its product life, so the time when the brand-new model will enter China is unknown. Renault Megane RS and Ford Focus? RS has stopped selling in China. Therefore, when Mercedes-Benz A35 entered China, it really had no rivals.
Of course, many users may be puzzled. A35 is coming, and A45S is not far away. Is it necessary to wait for the brand-new A45S? Personally, I don't think it's necessary to wait, unless your budget is enough and your pursuit of performance is radical. The A35 was also carefully adjusted by AMG. No matter from the performance, chassis or handling, it can meet your daily needs, and even occasional deviation is enough. The only thing that makes people feel distressed is that there is no "one person, one machine" blessing. Although A45S has better performance, it is obviously not as comfortable as A35 when used in daily traffic. In addition, at present, from the price point of view, the basic version of A35 is 40,860 euros in Europe, the basic version of A45S is 50,595 euros, and the domestic A35 is 399,800-429,800 euros. Then the starting price of A45S entering China must easily exceed 50+, and the price of 10W+ is not high in my opinion.
