The Mercedes-AMG A35 is down on power over its Golf R rival, but which should you opt for?
, Audi S3 and BMW M135i. It’s been around for a while now, and while the A45 S continues to hog much of the limelight with its 415bhp power figure, the less intense and less expensive A35 still does a great job of appealing as a more demure everyday driver.
The A35’s peak power of 302bhp isn’t quite up to the latest Mk8 Golf R’s 316bhp, but it’s more than competitive against the identically powered BMW M135i, and only 4bhp off the Audi S3. This power is complemented by 295lb ft of torque. Combined with a twin-clutch, seven-speed gearbox and four-wheel drive, it’s no surprise that the performance figures are strong: 0-62mph takes just 4.7sec, and the top speed is limited to 155mph.
Open the driver’s door and settle into the slightly too high seat, and you take in the giant one-piece slab of MBUX tablet display, fancy neon-esque interior lighting, and swathes of Alcantara and aluminium. There’s also AMG’s complicated steering wheel, with the option of its own driver mode, damper and ESP switches, all of which positions the A35 in a totally different orbit to more traditional examples of the hot hatch breed.
