The second-generation Mercedes A-Class AMG turns the compact hatchback and sedan into genuine performance cars, pairing everyday usability with serious hardware. Here is what the range offers beneath the surface.
The Mercedes A-Class AMG engine line centres on the A 35 2.0 DCT, a turbocharged gasoline four available in both the Sedan and Hatchback 5-door. Its robotic dual-clutch transmission shifts quickly without a clutch pedal, and the all-wheel-drive layout helps put the power down confidently in cold or wet conditions.

Mercedes A-Class AMG trim levels sit on top of the shared mechanical package rather than changing it. The A 35 2.0 DCT Sedan, for instance, appears as the A 35 4Matic Special Series and A 35 4Matic Edition, which differ mainly in styling touches, interior appointments and bundled comfort or assistance equipment.
