The Mercedes GLA was made official last month, and Mercedes also announced a more powerful version of their SUV, the Mercedes AMG GLA 35.
The Mercedes AMG GLA 35 comes with a 0 to 60 time of just 5 seconds and it features an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. The car comes with 302 horsepower and is powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbo engine. This engine is designed to deliver both efficiency and performance, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of driving conditions.
Performance and Handling
The AMG GLA 35 is not just about raw power; it also boasts impressive handling capabilities. The vehicle is equipped with AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive, which ensures optimal traction and stability even in challenging driving conditions. This system can distribute torque variably between the front and rear axles, enhancing both agility and safety.
The suspension system has been fine-tuned to offer a balance between comfort and sportiness. The AMG Ride Control suspension allows drivers to choose between different driving modes, ranging from Comfort to Sport+, adapting the damping characteristics to suit the driving situation. This makes the GLA 35 equally at home on winding country roads and smooth highways.
Design and Interior
The exterior design of the Mercedes AMG GLA 35 is both muscular and elegant, embodying the brand’s performance-oriented philosophy. The front features a distinctive AMG-specific grille, flanked by LED headlights that provide excellent visibility. The aerodynamic design elements, such as the rear spoiler and side skirts, not only enhance the vehicle’s appearance but also improve its aerodynamic efficiency.
Inside, the GLA 35 offers a luxurious and tech-savvy environment. The cabin is adorned with high-quality materials, including leather and aluminum trim. The AMG Performance steering wheel, with its flat-bottom design and integrated touch controls, provides a sporty feel and easy access to various functions.
The infotainment system is powered by the latest MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) technology, featuring a high-resolution display and voice control. The system supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ensuring seamless connectivity for all your devices. Additionally, the vehicle comes with advanced driver assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, enhancing both safety and convenience.
“With the new GLA 35 we are rounding off our attractive portfolio of compact entry-level models to the world of Mercedes-AMG,” says Tobias Moers, Chairman of Mercedes-AMG GmbH. “Our wide portfolio in this segment therefore has seven models with which we are able to meet wide-ranging customer wishes and are systematically able to transfer our AMG philosophy of Driving Performance to our dynamically growing compact segment.
