Mercedes-AMG A35 Sedan is a Cracking Compact Performance Car
AMG's hot hatches aren't sold Stateside. But that doesn't mean you can't benefit from the brand's compact performance car engineering. Meet the A35 sedan.
An A34 for America
AMG's outstanding hot hatches have been forbidden fruit to American enthusiasts. The phenomenal A45 hatch is not sold in the United States and its smaller A35 sibling is not going to come Stateside either. But AMG has a very fair compromise in the offering: the A35 sedan.
Subtle or strong sound options
At each corner of the A35 sedan's rear diffuser, are active exhaust tips. Although they might look a touch too small to make a meaningful sound, the acoustic signature of the A35 sedan is not lacking. Deep inside its exhaust system are active flaps, which can vary the sound intensity of the car, depending on a cockpit setting.

A wonderfully subtle sporting sedan
The A-Class sedan's teardrop profile works particularly well when adorned with a few AMG styling upgrades. Those larger wheels and the revised front and rear bumpers all combine to give the car presence and sophistication. Not quite as madly styled as the A45. But for some, a more subtle 302hp package is exactly what they need.

Clever bits you can't see
One of the cleverest engineering features on this A35 sedan is hidden from view. AMG's technical wizards have added a special 'shearing plate' under the engine. This structural bracing increases the car's front-third torsional rigidity, improving handling and sharpening its turn-in ability.
