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. This is a four-matic, and power is sent to all four wheels. The trunk space is surprisingly large. The backseat space is limited, and head room is an issue for taller individuals. There are frameless doors. There is a USB-C port in the rear and a fold-down console with cup holders.
The AMG Night Pack adds black accents to the exterior. The reviewed car has 19-inch wheels with Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires, which are new for this year. This car doesn't have a hand-built engine. Interior materials are lower quality. The tester experienced the vehicle going into limp mode while filming. The vehicle has a 48-volt mild hybrid system. It includes features like wireless Apple CarPlay and a Burmester sound system. The steering has a direct feel and is of good weight, and a three different displays for clusters: service mode that shows various temperatures, sport or super sport modes.. Lane Keep Assist is a driver assistance feature. While fuel economy is listed as 22 city/29 highway/25 combined, the tester was only experiencing 18.5 MPG during testing.
The entry level, AMG- enhanced turbo charged engine has lots of torque and it’s fun to drive. Overall the design is pretty, and the 35 series AMG cars has been completely changed.
