The Mercedes-AMG A 35 sedan is no longer part of the automaker’s lineup here. Mercedes USA confirm with CarBuzz that “A 35 will not be offered in the US market for MY22.” The model was checked from the Mercedes website in the US. This move eliminates what is the least expensive offer in AMG The range here, hot sedans start at $46,900 after destination. NS AMG GLA 35 The crossover will become the most accessible AMG yet, priced at $48,600 after destination. The GLA 35 is powered by the same 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine found on the A 35, making 302 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.
The automaker did not give a reason for the move, but we can imagine slow sales to be part of the cause. NS A class Available only in sedan form in the US, the styling is low on American car buyers’ favorites. Based on Car sales, the entire A-Class line-up, including the front- and all-wheel drive AMG A 220, sold 11,732 units in 2020, down by about 6,000 units in 2019. GLA intersection The product line, which sits on the same MFA2 platform as the A-Class sedan, sold 16,509 units in 2020. Still, while the GLA line beat 2020 sales this year until the crisis. Semiconductor takes a large amount. Q3 In figures, the A-Class soon fell behind last year’s sales, and the gap to 2020 has widened as that year has passed.
With the A35’s starting price around $12,000 more than the regular A-Class, AMG will be only a fraction of those narrow numbers. In our review, we praised it for its dramatic drivability and luxurious interior that its rivals couldn’t match. But prices go up quickly after adding the kinds of options you want in a hi-po show luxury sedan. It’s meant to be an enthusiast’s hot compact in near-standard form. The value argument disappeared as prices rose above $50,000 and much more impressive performance sedans emerged as uniquely equipped vehicles. Alfa Romeo Giulia, or even a base BMW M340i.
In other markets, AMG A 35 is expected to bow with an aesthetic refresh next year, including swapping out the Panamericana grille for which the AMG line is famous, and the latest version of the automaker’s MBUX infotainment. Mercedes was on a mission to eliminate inefficient initiatives and shrink the company before the supply chain crisis. Whatever the reason, it’s no surprise that the brand has eliminated a weak member of the US market. The A 220 will still be sold here.
