After the combination of domestic, extended, and Ashkenazi steel cannons, three seemingly unrelated words, is the result of a strange and failed car? In fact, since the launch of this Beijing Benz A35L AMG, it has been facing controversy from all sides. Some people say that it is not a pure AMG without a one-person-one-machine signature nameplate, and some people say that it lowers the threshold of AMG and tarnishes the brand belief. There are even more A35L terriers that cannot be recruited on the Internet. In fact, is this compact car labeled AMG worthy of a false name?
In my opinion, the answer is no. Although there is no big brother A45's four-cylinder engine, code-named M139, which is called the strongest 2.0T on the surface, the four-cylinder engine on the A35L, code-named M260, can also burst out 306 horsepower and 400N·m.
Unlike the home version, this engine is not the "official second-order version" of the simple home version, but a series of hardware enhancements on this basis. With the tuned 7-speed dual clutch, under the blessing of the 4matic four-wheel drive system, the car's acceleration of 0-100 km/h is only 4.9 seconds, and in reality, there are even owners who have measured 4.7 seconds of data in good conditions.
In addition, this A35L is not a linear machine that will only collapse but has no control experience, and has excellent track results in china such as Zhejiang Race, Ruisi, Tianma and other large and small tracks.
On the exterior level, the exterior kit with a large number of AMG elements is different from the ordinary Mercedes-Benz A-Class. At the same time, the 19-inch wheel hub + four-piston brake calipers, the huge diffuser at the tail and the fist-sized double exhaust outlet all tell passers-by that this is a grumpy "Mercedes-Benz A-Class". Putting aside the excellent parameters of the performance level, the basic configuration of this car in the standard state is enough to meet various daily needs.
Many people think that the AMG without a one-person-machine signature nameplate is not a real AMG. In fact, this point should be looked at with the perspective of development. First of all, the 35 family series and the higher level of the 43/50/53 series, in terms of product positioning are AMG's pioneering performance products, the products under this positioning are more inclined to the organic combination of daily home and track, in the daily driving of the driver is more friendly, more easy to get started, this series of models do not have a one-person-one-machine signature nameplate.
The 45/63/65 series of models with one person and one machine signature belong to AMG's professional performance models, which are more extreme and hardcore in positioning. Therefore, objectively speaking, whether it is a signed or unsigned AMG model, as long as it belongs to the AMG family sequence, it is a performance model that has been tuned by the department, but the applicable groups are different. Even in some ways, the most beginner A35L AMG benefits from the blessing of various new technologies, and with a small wheelbase, it can be said that no compromise has been made in the feedback at the handling level.
"It's a car that makes the owner feel the character and charm of AMG," one of the A35L owners told me. In fact, in the domestic performance steel cannon market, there are three ranges of distribution, including Golf GTI, Lynk & Co 03+, Fox ST, etc., which belong to the first grade of steel guns. The Audi S3, Golf R, and Mercedes-Benz A35 belong to the second class of steel guns. Finally, Audi's RS3 and Mercedes-Benz's A45 have become the "king of steel guns" in the traditional sense.
However, between the product replacement and the impact of domestic policies, the A35L (including the hatchback A35) has become the only choice for the second grade steel gun in the new car market. Perhaps Mercedes-Benz also just caught this wind, because before the full arrival of electrification, it is already the last carnival of the internal combustion engine.
