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.

BMW 1 Series – Overview The BMW 1 Series, as the model number suggests, is the entry model to the BMW family, slotting below the evergreen 3 Series sedan. Being developed with Germany and overall Europe in mind to compete with the Audi A3, Volvo 40-range and Mercedes-Benz A-Class, the 1 Series was exclusively developed as a hatchback only and a coupe body style followed later. Another key feature of the BMW 1 Series was the driven wheels- it was the only rear-wheel drive premium hatchback and coupe for the first two generations (E87, F20). However, due to the ever-competitive nature of the hatchback segment in Europe, BMW moved to an all-new front-wheel drive platform for this current third-generation F40 BMW 1 Series. BMW Malaysia currently only offers the range-topping BMW M135i xDrive as the sole representative of the F40 BMW 1 Series range in Malaysia. The previously-popular locally-assembled F20 BMW 118i rear-wheel drive compact hatch that was priced around RM220,000 is currently represented by the all-new F44 BMW 218i Gran Coupe, also front-wheel drive. Being the top of the range as well as a M Performance model, the fully-imported BMW M135i xDrive does not come cheap, in fact, more expensive than the common 3 Series and even the 530e at RM355,646.25. Its closest competitor is the Mercedes-AMG A35 4Matic at RM366,785.05. The Renault Megane RS 300 is now priced at RM326,477 while the Audi S3 and Honda Civic Type R are not available in Malaysia.

Toyota GR Yaris – Overview The Toyota GR Yaris, almost every motoring reviewer or journalist who has driven it gives it the full score. Looks great, a punchy engine and a chassis that just keeps on gripping. The fun-to-drive sensation is strong here too, making everything else from Honda, Volkswagen and Renault feel clinical. For the Malaysian market, UMW Toyota is only offering the full package- Toyota GR Yaris with Performance Package. As the name suggests, this package comes with beefier suspension setting, a thicker front anti-roll bar, forged 18-inch BBS wheels wrapped in 225/40R18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres and a Torsen limited-slip differential in the front and rear axles. While it is priced at RM 286,896, there is no direct competitor to the Toyota GR Yaris in Malaysia, as the Volkswagen Golf R Mk 7.5 has long been discontinued, while the new generation is not for sale yet. The Renault Megane RS 300 is now priced at RM 326,477 while the Audi RS3 and Honda Civic Type R are not available in Malaysia. At the higher end of the scale are the BMW M135i xDrive at RM 355,646.25 and the Mercedes-AMG A35 4Matic at RM 366,785.05. Included in the local UMW Toyota sales package for the 127 lucky customers is an Early Bird Package that will see buyers receive an exclusive helmet bag, a GR Yaris scale model and entry to a GR Yaris Driving Experience - all of which is said to be worth RM 5,000.
