Video Summary
Here is a summary of the 2024 Mercedes CLA 35 AMG YouTube video car review:The CLA 35 AMG is the entry-level AMG. It is considered an absolute blast to drive.
The ‘Hyper Blue’ paint is a $2000 option worth every penny, and it's comparable to the teal on a 1993 Mustang Cobra and BMW's Snapper Rocks Blue.
This is the second generation of the CLA coupe, with minimal changes since 2019, though it is stunning in design and color. The GLA 35 driven before was overpriced, but the CLA 35 AMG is 10,000 dollars less and more recommendable.
The starting price is about $55,000; as spec'd with options, it's just under $63,000.
The car features a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine; AMG-enhanced. It delivers 302 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, with power going to all four wheels via an eight-speed speed shift DCT.
