Q: Can sport and luxury be owned in one car at the same time? A: No. At least the Mercedes-Benz A45 S can't.
Some time ago, the company borrowed a Mercedes-Benz A45 S, and I heard that there are many reputations for this car, such as "the strongest 2.0T on the surface", "the king of steel guns" and so on.
So I wondered why everyone described it that way.
In fact, when I first saw this car, I didn't feel particularly excited. Because like some other cars running on the road, it is four wheels, nothing more than some external parts, front shovel, wind blade, tail fin and so on. But to be honest, since I have now entered the automotive media industry, I will be exposed to a lot of new cars throughout the year. And now the domestic new car is in the price of more than 100,000, giving you such as the above appearance parts (although the other parts are not the other appearance parts), so this is why I did not feel very excited when I saw the Mercedes-Benz A45 S.
In addition, at lunch today, I told my colleague that the car is really not much fun now (except for modifications). Due to the constraints of car companies on environmental protection regulations and the impact of the global economic downturn, performance cars have become less and less. And the attitude of the family car or family sports car, especially the road top sports car, is also less and less. So the current car is really not interesting, not as good as the two-wheeled motorcycle running on the street, 20,000 pieces can experience 100 km acceleration for 5 seconds, 30,000 pieces can experience 100 km acceleration for 4 seconds, the cost performance is simply high to explode!
Far from it, back to the point. Although the appearance did not make me feel excited, after turning it on, my attitude towards it took a 180° turn.
The steering is very competitive, the power is very violent
I think some people will definitely say, are you impressed by its strong power? Hey, it's not, my first impression of it after driving it is actually not its power, but its steering feel.
This steering feel has a sense of déjà vu, found, is the turning feel of my home simulator - very heavy! In addition to the similar feel of the steering with large damping, the steering wheel material is also exactly the same. The steering wheel of the Mercedes-Benz A45 S is made of fur, and in addition to looking more "combatant", daily driving can indeed provide good friction.
The size of the steering wheel is a little smaller than that of a typical family car. But compared with the steering wheel of the simulator, it is still a little bigger. This is understandable, after all, Mercedes-Benz A45 S as a production car, although it advertises sports, but according to laws and regulations, built-in airbags are certainly essential. In addition, for the convenience of daily operation, the multi-function button above the steering wheel is also indispensable, so the disc width is not as small as the disk width of the simulator steering wheel, which has become a reasonable thing.
After talking about the steering wheel, we will talk about the power of the Mercedes-Benz A45 S, which is equipped with a 2.0T in-line four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 421Ps and a maximum power speed of 6750 rpm, with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. The machine can be described in two ways on an A-class car: rage.
The power output is very crisp, the gearbox shift also has a certain sense of impact, combined with the low exhaust sound, it is easy to increase the speed.
In addition, when I did the acceleration test, I found that the acceleration score was the same twice, both 4.06 seconds, which was very stable. Although it did not break the 100 in 3.9 seconds as officially declared, the measured results were infinitely close to it.
The exterior color and interior atmosphere are good
The exterior of this test drive is yellow, and I don't know the specific name of this color, but it looks good. In addition, driving on the street is also very eye-catching, because there are not many yellow cars.
In addition to the special yellow appearance, this car also uses some black parts to embellish and adapt in the details, such as wind blades, front and rear encirclement, tail fins, etc., so the whole car looks special and sporty and combative.
The interior atmosphere is mainly reflected in the night, entering the car is like being in a nightclub, KTV, there are many atmosphere lights in the carriage, especially near the front row of the central control screen, I believe that this interior atmosphere will definitely make many girls powerless to resist.
But such a good interior atmosphere can only be statically appreciated, because once it moves, whether it is body vibration, or exhaust sound, or low-speed setbacks, it will extinguish this dreamy atmosphere at the moment of ignition or start-up. Well, the reality is so harsh.
At one point on the night of the return, I remembered the A45 S again, I missed his ejection start, I missed his low voice, I missed the feeling of him floating up, this feeling of missing was honestly in the car I had tested so many cars, I had never had before.
I know that the price of more than 500,000 is still an astronomical amount for me at present. But to tell the truth, in the auto media industry, Nu hard work still has a chance to earn, more than 500,000 is not a particularly large amount.
Finally, I also hope that friends who also like this car can get on the car as soon as possible, and we will see you again in the AMG group. (Text/Vigorous)
