Plans to retire the Mercedes-Benz A-Class line-up as soon as this year have been rolled back, and its CEO Ola Källenius clarifies that the model will be produced well into 2026, Autocar reports. This news comes the carmaker's recent retargeting of its BEV-only stance in favour of what Källenius says as a more flexible arrangement to "cater to different customer needs", in which it will continue to produce models with internal combustion engines alongside its BEV ambitions. To recap, Mercedes-Ben

When BYD shot to prominence at the height of Covid-19 in 2020 for being one of the world's largest producer of masks – a feat they achieved in just one short month – they did so with grit and a keen pulse on the market. The slog and zeal isn't something the Shenzhen-based carmaker shies away from. You and I probably laughed at their weird copycat cars of a decade ago; today they're one of the, if not the world's largest producer of electric vehicles. A large slice of that comes from the small ca

When the 2020 Mercedes-AMG A35 4Matic (RM 366,785 OTR 0% SST) was launched it only had one competitor and it is the out-going and no-less fun Volkswagen Golf R. We all know that with the dated features the Golf had to offer, it doesn’t come close to the A35. But come July, with the arrival of F40 2020 BMW M135i (RM 355,646 OTR 0% SST) to our shores, the A35 now has a worthy competitor. So, how do these hot hatches compare in terms of specs?
