About the Mercedes-AMG A 35 W177
Introduced as the new gateway to the AMG brand, the W177-generation A 35 4MATIC bridges the gap between the standard A-Class and the hardcore A 45. It features a twin-scroll turbocharged M260 engine and a variable all-wheel-drive system capable of sending up to 50 percent of torque to the rear axle. Inside, it debuted the high-tech MBUX infotainment system with twin 10.25-inch screens, setting a new interior standard for the premium hot hatch segment. While less aggressive than its A 45 sibling, it offers a more compliant ride and accessible performance for daily driving.
