Mercedes-Benz Malaysia today announced the arrival of three models, including the new AMG C43, AMG A35, and the model here, the AMG GLA 35.
The new Mercedes-AMG GLA 35 4MATIC is refreshed with many innovations. The newly styled front apron with new geometry and grille, and the light signatures at the front and rear make a strong visual statement. It features MULTIBEAM LED headlights paired with Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus.
The AMG GLA 35 4MATIC also comes with 20-inch AMG 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels now with striking red-painted brake callipers and wheel arches in vehicle colour.
The latest generation of the AMG Performance steering wheel in Nappa leather features the AMG steering wheel buttons which impresses drivers with bright displays and the intuitive control logic. Drivers can access important functions and all driving programs without taking their hands off the wheel.
The button on the right helps with the selection between 5 AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs namely Slippery, COMFORT, SPORT, Sport+, and INDIVIDUAL.
The latest generation of MBUX infotainment system running on the dual 10.25-inch screens is also state-of-the-art, with an AMG-specific screen design and expanded functions. Apple Car Play and Android Auto can be connected wirelessly to the vehicle. Connectivity is improved with USB Package Plus featuring higher USB charging performance and an additional USB-C port.
The AMG GLA 35 4MATIC comes with MBUX Augmented Reality Navigation and MBUX Navigation Premium helping drivers navigate through the city. With 12 speakers and a system output of 710 watts, passengers are treated to the legendary Burmester® sound. The high-performance speakers deliver first-class surround sound.
In terms of comfort, the AMG GLA 35 4MATIC is fully equipped with features such as, THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control, Ambient lighting with 64 colours, and Sport seats in ARTICO man-made leather / MICROCUT microfibre upholstery.
The Carbon-structure trim and MANUFAKTUR seat belts in red lend the interior an individual look. The vehicle is equipped with KEYLESS-GO Convenience Package, EASY-PACK tailgate, HANDS-FREE ACCESS, GUARD 360° Vehicle protection, and Tyre pressure monitoring system providing convenience and protection while on the go.
The AMG GLA 35 4MATIC also provides several driver assistance systems such as the Active Lane Keeping Assist that improves comfort by intervening with a gentle nudge instead of activating the ESP® system.
The next generation of the Parking Package supports parallel parking and offers 360° visualisation in camera-assisted parking using 3D images. In addition, the vehicle includes Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, Active Blind Spot Assist, Active Brake Assist, and Exit Warning Assist.
On the engine side, the AMG GLA 35 4MATIC will now be fitted with the belt-driven starter generator (RSG) and an additional 48-volt on-board power supply as standard. The second-generation RSG functions as a mild hybrid. In addition to the temporary power boost of 10 kW (14 PS), it permits such functions as coasting and recuperation for greater efficiency.
The 48-volt technology also improves comfort, with the transitions of the start/stop and coasting function barely noticeable. The 225 kW (306hp) output of the agile, high-torque 2.0 litre 4-cylinder turbo engine is distributed to all four wheels via the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 8G transmission and the AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive.
The sporty driving performance is combined with a wide range of driving experience modes, from highly dynamic to smooth touring. The Mercedes-AMG GLA 35 4MATIC is priced at MYR 363,888 (including 10% ST) for Peninsular Malaysia.
