"The new CLA 35 enables stepping in to the fascinating world of AMG Driving Performance in a particularly emotional way," says Mercedes-AMG boss Tobias Moers. We"re not sure exasperated confusion" is officially recognised as an emotion, but if it is, then we can"t argue with him. It"s not that this will be a poor car quite the flipping opposite. What we"re essentially looking at is a swoopy, four-door coupe version of the Mercedes-AMG A35 hot hatch, a VW Golf R rival that just so happens to be the best A-Class yet. So you can expect much of the same thing dizzyingly punchy performance from its combination of 2.0-litre turbo power and all-wheel drive, limpet grip in all manner of weather conditions, a tech-packed interior with screen dimensions to lose your millennial mind over just with a bit less headroom and more forward-planning before Ikea trips.
