AMG is hoping younger luxury buyers will get addicted to the CLA35's performance and try some of its more potent and expensive products.
The 2020 CLA35 is Mercedes-AMG's first crack at the second-generation CLA-class. The 35 offers just the right amount of power and performance for a compact sports sedan, plus improved design and the luxury we expect from Mercedes. Read the full story here.
The CLA35 shares its platform and its powertrain layout with the non-AMG CLA, as well as the smaller A-class, albeit with considerably more power.
The CLA35's 302-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four is based on the A-class's 221-hp turbo-four, but has been tuned by the AMG division for increased performance.
The CLA35's suspension is specific to AMG. Adaptive dampers are optional.
Two 10.3-inch digital display screens form the basis of the CLA's infotainment system, which can be controlled using a touchpad mounted on the center console, a pair of small touchpads on the steering wheel, or by voice controls.
The second-generation CLA class is longer than the first-gen model by 1.9 inches.
The CLA's design has been updated for the second generation and is now more elegantly styled than the previous model.
We predict the CLA35 will sprint from zero to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds.
The CLA35's seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission has been massaged by AMG to cope with its engine's increased output.
The CLA35's all-wheel-drive system is front biased but can direct up to 50 percent of the available torque to the rear wheels when slippage is detected.
The CLA35 can ride rather harshly over certain types of pavement and with its optional adaptive dampers set to their firmer setting.
