Launched in June this year, here’s a comprehensive gallery of the CKD version of the Mercedes-AMG A 35 Sedan, which is priced at RM343,888 on-the-road without insurance, inclusive of SST.
By comparison, the CKD version costs RM5k less than the CBU version launched in 2019 – priced at RM348,888, also inclusive of SST. The arrival of the CKD A 35 Sedan means that the entire A-Class Sedan range, which also includes the A 200 Progressive Line and A 250 AMG Line, is now locally assembled.
The A 35 Sedan is powered by a M260 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a seven-speed AMG Speedshift 7G dual-clutch transmission to drive all four wheels via an AMG Performance 4Matic system. The 0-100 km/h sprint is done in 4.8 seconds and the top speed is capped at 250 km/h.
As you’d expect with the CKD model, there are a few add-ons previously not available in the CBU version. The CKD AMG A 35 now comes with the Parking package with a 360-degree camera, a head-up display, and AMG steering controls. The new AMG A 35 also gets wireless charging, the MBUX Interior Assistant and Keyless-Go Comfort package.
Notable items in the cabin include an AMG Performance steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather, a Burmester surround sound system, 64-colour ambient lighting, AMG door sills and floor mats, dual 10.25-inch digital displays, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The rest of it is similar to before; with the exterior furnished with 19-inch AMG 5-twin-spoke alloys, an AMG body kit, and Multibeam LED headlamps with Adaptive High Beam Assist Plus. Colour options include Polar White, Cosmos Black, Iridium Silver, Mountain Grey and Denim Blue.
Better just get an E-class
this is the cheapest AMG you can get. shouldn’t compare with E class deh.
Better just keep driving your Civic bro
Wait till you afford Benz only talk, Honda fanboy
Lol… you’re asking someone who’s shopping for a Civic Type-R to buy a Legend instead??? You’re obviously not someone who seeks high performance.
Once you’ve driven an AMG, a normal Mercedes won’t cut it. Sure, there are some who will call this a fake AMG because the engine is not hand built. Just like how the V8 owners will pooh2 about the 4 cylinder engines but to me, if the car is tuned by AMG, I’ll take it as an AMG.
My wife likes the A250 but since I’ll drive it sometimes, I’ll just go straight to the A35.
If you always said better here and there. You’ll go nowhere and stick to your own F boy.
just rm5k difference, better make it CBU!
My money will be on M340, although the A35 interior is nicer. Anyway, welcome onboard, Eu Jin! Always love your video…
Huh, CKD price is only 5k less than CBU. What’s the point of CKD then? Might as well just buy CBU, those who can afford sure not short of 5k.
No hatchback is a downer.. but, i guess most malaysians would love a sedan more.
given a choice , I would exchange the 360 deg cam with the full AMG seats any day .
360 deg cam is nice to have but its compact car and those who opt for this fo sure want all the blings , i mean look at that steering wheel!
btw still no update in CKD spec W206 , launch in March
Yup. But that special seat only reserve for the new 45 (not yet coming). Go google it.
Just 5k diff for CKD? I would prefer pay additional 5k for CBU. Since those people afford to buy this car, 5k is nothing
