The purpose or desire to be achieved can be called a "goal",
AMG is not an exaggeration for most people to call it a goal,
Today, as the youngest member of the AMG family,
A35 deserves to be the "little target" closest to you.

It's by far the most affordable AMG, though, and he doesn't seem to be the most inconspicuous of this group. First of all, join me in the right way to open this small target - the rear of the car is the essence of this steel gun, this A35 advance special edition is equipped with the A45S only has an oversized spoiler, the bottom diffuser is also quite eye-catching, fist-sized bilateral two exhausts, full and tough shape. Motion surrounds are used at the front and rear, and the wind knives on both sides also help to comb the front of the car and the airflow around the tires.
In addition, this advance special edition has its own yellow and body pull, and the front of the co-pilot special edition trim is also very eye-catching, and the golden rim reveals the extraordinary of the vehicle. It must be admitted that the front face of the A35 is slightly shabby, and the AMG that lacks the straight waterfall type network always lacks some soul. Fortunately, this A35 comes standard with a geometric multi-beam LED light source with turning headlights.
Even with the AMG brand entry-level model, the A35's lavish interior decoration dwarfs bmw audis. The steering wheel is wrapped in perforated leather, and Alcantara materials are also appropriately spliced on the door panels and seats. Dual 10.25-inch large simulcasts, exquisitely shaped air conditioners with backlights, and 64-color mood lights are standard in vehicles, giving every A35 a nightclub feel. If you want a little more luxurious, Mercedes also offers an option of real wood instead of this standard aluminium and leather trim. The steering wheel of the A35 inherits the essence of AMG, whether it is the shape, material matching or feel is invincible. The huge paddle behind the steering wheel seems to have been transplanted from a larger model, and the force of the stroke and the cold touch are absolutely exciting. The dashboard offers four different display modes that can be adjusted by sliding the button on the left side of the steering wheel. Drivers can control the powerful MBUX infotainment system by sliding the button on the right side of the steering wheel, using the touchpad on the center console, tapping the screen or via voice commands. The AMG TRACK PACE function on the central control screen is naturally not absent, providing engine data display, including oil temperature, transmission temperature, and engine power and torque output values. Linear acceleration, brake tests, track laps, etc. can be recorded.
Inside the car, the A35 Advance Special Edition comes standard with one-piece bucket sports seats, which alone indicates that this car cannot be underestimated. In addition to the slightly stiff filling of the seat, the fit and breathability of the cushions and backrests are not bad, and both tall, fat and thin can adapt, and it is not a very picky seat. Both the back and the legs have good support, and the comfort of short driving is not bad. The waist support and the clamping on both sides of the back can be adjusted through the central control screen. As the smallest compact car in the AMG model, I found that its rear seat space is much more generous than expected, especially the head and legroom are basically to meet the comfortable riding needs of most adults. As for the luggage compartment space, the A35 does not have much advantage, but it can basically hold 4-5 20-inch suitcases, and the rear seats provide 4/2/4 reclining to expand the luggage compartment space.
Under the hood of the A35, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine was installed, which produced 306 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque. Mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive system accelerates from rest to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. Although all this makes this car unable to be as fast as the A45, it has its appeal. Compared to the A45, the A35 feels lighter and more responsive, and although it does not have a strong explosive force, its engine is full of power, its driving is precise and controllable, and it is not so stubborn to impose its will on the driver. His acceleration ability in the middle and rear section is very strong, according to foreign media tests, the A35's 400-meter acceleration takes only 12.9 seconds and the tail speed reaches 175 km / h, which is an amazing result in the level of compact steel guns.
The A35 doesn't have the grumpy temper of the A45, and you just have to concentrate on choosing a better curve on the mountain road, and don't worry about the excess movement in the corner of the car. At this time, the original seat wrapping is very good, and the backrest and the sides of the cushion can be firmly fastened to the body. The suspension support is also relatively sufficient, the steering force is moderate, although it is not as calm as expected, slightly light, but the accuracy is enough. The standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive system, which usually works in front-wheel drive, can deliver 50% of the engine torque to the rear wheels as needed. Driving on winding mountain roads, this car is not slower than a performance car with higher displacement and more horsepower. Moreover, the A35 has better balance and agility. The only thing I needed to adapt to was that when I first picked up the car, the hard chassis of the A35 showed every seam and every pothole on the road to the fullest, and I even began to subconsciously avoid the manhole cover. Later, after we lowered the tire pressure relatively, the A35 in comfort mode was more in line with the needs of urban commuting.
This A35 offers 5 modes: slippery, personalized, comfortable, sporty, and sport-enhanced. On the mountain road, the sport-enhanced mode is a good choice, at the moment, the exhaust valve is open, the transmission shifts faster, the steering force is heavier, the throttle response is more direct and efficient, and even the tempering sound is particularly ear-catching, and this charming voice will not even show weakness in the competition with an RS5 equipped with a V6 engine. Of course, the car doesn't pay much attention to the control of engine noise and wind noise, but NVH may not be what his owner really cares about.
The A35 Advance Special Edition is equipped with 19-inch Pirelli P ZERO tires, although it is not the most dry grip tire in its class, but the A35's ability to fit the road surface is not weak at all. The original perforated ventilated brake discs are equipped with front four-piston calipers and the level of braking force will not disappoint.
In terms of safety configuration, in addition to the basic configuration of tire pressure display and reversing image, the A35 also has some standard driver assistance functions such as active braking and cruise control, and other active safety technologies require additional optional fees, but for AMG players, ACC, lane departure warning and lane keeping are not too important. Others such as keyless entry of the whole car, heating of the front seats, rear exhaust air outlet, small size panoramic sunroof, Apple CarPlay, Baidu CarLife, multiple type-C interfaces of the whole car, these comfort configurations are not rich but enough for daily use.
The hard chassis is not comfortable, every gap in the road will be clearly transmitted to the seat and steering wheel, the vehicle can not talk about sound insulation and noise reduction, the seven-speed dual clutch will occasionally break at low speeds, but if you are a driver, driving an AMG A35 must be an exciting thing, not to mention accompanied by a crisp tempering sound. Perhaps, many people will care about that "signature", but A35 does not insult the name of AMG. Getting more young people to own AMG in a more affordable way is perhaps what Mercedes would prefer.
