2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG A-Class Latest Update

Mercedes-Benz AMG A Class Overview

The W177 Mercedes-Benz AMG A Class is Affalterbach’s answer to the Volkswagen Golf GTI and the Golf R. This ‘entry level’ AMG is offered in three variants, the AMG A 35 4Matic which is available in both sedan and a hatchback, and the full-fledge AMG A 45 S 4Matic+ hot hatch. Prices starts from RM 336,277 to RM 437,673.

Unlike the Mercedes- AMG A 45 S, the Mercedes-AMG A 35s are deprived of a bespoke AMG engine. Instead, it is fitted with an uprated 2.0 litre M260 four-cylinder turbocharged engine from the A 250. Equipped with Mercedes-Benz 4Matic all-wheel-drive system and a 7-speed wet DCT, it is still a serious bit of kit capable of achieving a sub 5 seconds 0-100 km/h time.

Powering the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S is a newly developed 2.0 litre 4-cylinder engine with twin-scroll turbocharger capable of 427 PS and 500 Nm of torque, making it the most powerful series production 4-cylinder engine on the market to date. Paired to a new AMG Speedshift DCT 8G transmission with Race Start function, it is one of the fastest accelerating hot hatches money can buy today, second only to the Audi RS3.
