Part of the appeal of driving around in an AMG-fettled vehicle is that people can’t quite tell what’s going on. They’re cars that can appreciate languid drives yet still hold their own on the track – and that’s a privilege that’s gotten easier to own thanks to the introduction of the locally-assembled (CKD) 2022 Mercedes-AMG A35 Sedan.

Being Pekan-assembled means your pathway to AMG ownership is now RM 11k cheaper, as it’s now priced from RM 325,090 (on-the-road without insurance and SST). And it's so new that this weekend will be its first-ever public appearance in Malaysia. Only one place to be then...

That aside, lower prices doesn’t mean it’s a discounted AMG too. In fact you get more for the money – CKD examples add AMG steering wheel buttons and Burmester surround sound system.

Mind you it's not lost any muscle too: you’ll have 306 PS / 400 Nm from the 2.0-litre turbocharged 2.0-litre lump, the quick-shifting 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT), and 4Matic all-wheel drive system to truly allow you drop a gear and disappear even through corners.

Stopping it then are 350 mm brake rotors at the front with four-piston callipers, and 330 mm rotors behind. AMG Ride Control suspension with adaptive dampers are standard fare too.

It’s draped in the full AMG-Line kit with 19-inch wheels, a rear spoiler, a diffuser ‘round the back and two circular exhaust exits. You’ll also get Multibeam LED headlights with Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus.
