2020 CLA 35! Why it's the BEST entry level AMG!!

Күн бұрын

Welcome back to RBR guys! We’re at the home of #MercedesAMG in Affalterbach today, to talk about what could be the best entry level #AMG you can buy... the new #CLA35 4matic!!
Now last time we looked at the A35, I described how the car felt like a super transformation vs a standard A just like you’d hope for with an AMG: SO when we tested the CLA45S I was expecting the same next level from the A35... but we didn’t experience it at least not with sound. Undoubtedly better dynamically with great neutral handling, and with an incredibly responsive engine but we were left cold on exhaust sound.
That got me thinking, where does the CLA35 then stand? Surely it’s the tastiest compact AMG you can buy? Something we mused over in the standard CLA video too! This is what we will explore today!
Now to give you the basics: The previous entry level 4 door sedan was the AMG C43. With a V6 bi turbo attached to a standard 4 Matic, it’s like a 35 version of the C Class, with little to nothing shared with C63. Whereas the CLA35 takes the winning DNA of a previous flagship CLA45 AMG and makes it it’s own!
So we explore just how much of an AMG air is and most importantly: this or the CLA45S emotion wise?
Today we explore:
- The New CLA45S - Sound and internal drivetrain
- Entry Level AMGs - C43
- The First CLA 45 AMG 2013 C117
- CLA35 internals and drive train from old car
- CLA35 Design
- The Aero pack
- Body style and shape vs CLA and A45S
- CLA 35 Shooting break
- Future A35 facelift and AMG grille
- CLA 35 Interior vs CLA45S
- Full review
- Sound and exhaust
- Conclusion

Mercedes interiors are too good to pass up. Yes BMWs drive better but only for the 1st 3 years. After that the plastic parts begin to fall apart. Although I will admit after about 5 years those Benz interiors also look pretty bad. Buy what you want.

I'm really on the fence whether I should go CLA45s or CLA35 for every day and a few Touristenfahrt runs on the Nürburgring, once our borders open up again.. I've driven the A35, A45s and CLA45s, but never the CLA35. I'm a big fan of mega speccing it and having some extra bank for the boring stuff life throws at you from time to time.

Audi set the bar with their A-S-RS lineup. Can see why Merc wanted a mid-tier S line, but shouldnt have used the AMG badge. Totally watering it down. Should have these new sportier models sit on their own GT line or similar. branched lineup into Luxury (Designo -> Maybach) and Sport (Mercedes-Benz -> AMG) lines. The Benz line would be these 35/45 models with styling and AMG logos on inspired wheels etc like in past, but wouldnt wear the name or feature panamericana reserved for the big boys. Would elevate the Designo line and could feature some trickle down options from the Maybach in the same way. Would eliminate "fake AMG" accusations. Pricing would go M-B -> Designo -> AMG -> Maybach.

I love your channel but hate your viewers. Half of the comments in your videos are filled with pure illogical fan boys. Liking the product is one thing but blindly following any product is another. (Not referring to this particular car, great video). Being a fan of a brand because they happen to make things that follow philosophy your enjoy is one thing, but blindly following a brand for the sake of following a brand is just dumb. No brand should be blindly followed. And brands hi originally fell in love with SHOULD BE CRITIQUED if they have changed in values or progress in ways that are against their original values (ex Porsche)
