So #MercedesAMG likes making SUVs because they sell so many now. And the entry to that #AMG SUV family is now this the GLA 35 4Matic. The less powerful brother to the GLA45S we recently reviewed here:
• 2021 GLA 45 S! Is the ...
So first let’s see what the car brings to the table. The previous GLA 45 had 380BHP, 0-60 of 4.8 seconds from the 4 cylinder single turbo engine. The 4matic had a maximum of 50% power to the rear. And the car itself was an oddly less practical car than the A45. But despite this it was really quite good looking in full fat AMG form. With 1 million units sold, it’s no wonder AMG figured a cheaper model was in order. Our new 35 features the same format as the old 45, with a 2 cylinder 4 pot, the same 4 magic system, same brakes, but suspension and steering borrowed from the GLA45S of the new generation!!
It’s only 0.2secs behind the old GLA 45 to 60, and the engine produces 306BHP with 400NM of torque. But these are the same figures as the A35, which is a smaller lighter more agile hatchback. Same goes for the CLA 35! So will this car feel sluggish? And then there’s the matter of the 7 seat cooler looking GLB 35!
So today we explore:
- The original 35 - AMG A35
- The AMG CLA 35 / GLB 35 Comparison
- The original GLA45
- GLA 45 vs GLA35
- Interior review
- Launch control
- Full Performance Review

I just don’t see the need for this, get a A35 or if you really need space, GLC43 or an old GLA 45! 🤷🏻♂️ My opinion. Anyway, who is excited for the merch?!! Exhaust On Or Else!! ‼️👹
What makes AMG so successful is to AMG everything and provide variety. Though I don't like the idea of 35 family at all. But as soon as they create the A35, GLB35 and CLA35, it's gotta be a GLA35. They need to keep the family complete.
It would be a very short video: There’s this channel called RBR that makes videos and content 365 days a year for its lovely audience; my earnings may well come from that no? 😅 This is my full time job, I do nothing else.
I get that, but then they should stay true to their roots and NOT cancel cars like the C63R
@Remove Before Race Yes sir. Your right！Not only C63R. Every AMG fan can see there're serious problems with the current or upcoming lineup now. It's like they don't make those products so special anymore. I don't know why they are in such a hurry to go electric (4cylinder C63s) while M power ones are still petrolpowered with the new petrol engine. Also the GLE63s(ML AMG) are the father of all luxury performance SUVs and now they totally lost its spirit. They also decided to cancel S63 Coupe in the next generation and I just can't get over it. In the future, E53 Coupe will be the top end pillarless hardtop coupe instead. That's a shame to AMG and to the Mercedes brand.
Not only the lineup but they are delaying the delivery of AMGs all over the world. It feels like Mercedes didn't put enough resources to AMG like BMW did to M at present.
In my country they didn't take good care of the marketing and was way behind M power. All they want to do is to sell more G63s(cost 0.5M$ here) to the rich people who know nothing about AMG cars but G63. They didn't give a damn about the future because G63s are giving them easy money.
Over here the GLC43 is quite a bit more expensive and I really don't like the look of the old GLA interior. It wasn't on par with the price...
In my eyes the GLA 35 makes perfect sense. See it as a fast GLA with a dash of AMG. Not a real AMG. If I wanted the pure fun I'd go for an A45. Since I don't like the looks of the GLB and don't need the space a GLA 35 would be great, or a CLA 35 or 45 shooting break...
If I wanted the pops and bangs I would bye a sports car this is a small suv for driving from A to B with a luxury vehicle. So no need for pops and bangs. Its not a lambo or ferrari corvette or mustang .
My two cents this is small suv.
Bro, I'd rather have a flying spur init
😂
Definitely looking forward to checking out the website i need some merch haha
Eric Frias coming!!! 😬
Just bought a new GLA45 and love it, but would have gotten a GLB45 if they made one in a heartbeat over the GLA.
Best (and honest) review I've seen!
GLB would made more sense , would be miles more iconic, and justify it's existence if they made it look like a mini G class just like the Suziki Jimny
World marketing now become how to sell normal cars with branded badges! AMG creators going have heart attacks when they see those models
Sorry raz amg have saturated its own brand with accountants and share holder thinking...im just glad brabus is still around
jerrycan smashit no need to apologise to me! I agree
Every german brand does it. S3/ RS3 M340/ M3. C43/C63 different levels.
@@JohnGuidetti751 the difference is that there is a distinction between S vs RS, or M vs Mx40i etc. But Mercedes just calls everything with some power an AMG
Beef Broth yeah they chose a number 35/43/53/63 instead of a letter
Beef Broth they all do th styling a3 1.5 sline. A200 amg line. 120i M sport.
Thank you! This video helped with my final decision
Hi mate , I’m planning to get the GLB 35 ...can we use the renntech in the GLB 35 amg to open up the exhausts ...
I remember when AMG’s were rare
Still are , how often does u see an amg on the road
@@drestep4830 true
Such a pointless AMG. My stage 1 tuned c300 makes more power then this thing. They are only hurting the AMG brand by this.
Agreed not an amg, but seems like a nice car.
Yes, pointless
They didn't need to make this whole car...
Sir this have be 8 speed dual clutch gear box please test drive it before making any comments is total different animal cannot compare with c300 no chance
naresh virkar 😂😂😂😂😂
Respect for your good vibes / reviews bro 😄💥🌈
How much fuel this AMG takes? Are there 2 versions Diesel and PB95?
Please give us an update on the 2021 C63(s) !! I have had one on order since April and its been such a hectic process. I know 2021 will still be the w205 models but when will they be starting production & be in dealers??
That's my kind of crossover!
Interesting! I bought one yesterday for my 78yr old Mum. She needs a small SUV to transport my 81yr old dad who has scoliosis (a bent back). She currently has an SLC 200, which has been awesome, but sadly getting just a little too low for them both to get in & out of now. Im looking forward to her next Mercedes Benz Chapter...!
Hi what does the hey mercedes do or what does it control thx
So when is the GLE 63 S Coupe video coming out? :)))
Are the performance seats more comfortable than the standard seats?
What is the brand of your leather jacket? Seems nice
Remove what before race? Didn’t understand the meaning of RBR. What’s the idea behind the name?
Not sure why but I do like the look of this bit of a sleeper
Picked mine up yesterday with the aero kit and its far from boring got rid of my S3 and this thing moves quick for its size!
Should of got cla 35 instead
@@fayahmad9063 i wanted more cabin space and i enjoy driving higher up looked at a cla and wasn't keen on the shape in person.
Ryan Vann fair with the space, but you don’t like the get 4 door shape ?
In my mind there are only 3 suv models worth to talk about GLE 63 GLS63 AND THE G 63
Peter Schulenberg GLC63S is one of the fastest in the world, simply epic
@@RemoveBeforeRace didn't know there is a c class. Did you do a review on it? If yes can you send me a link
When is the revised gt4 door launching? Mercedes website has removed the current model. Must be close
All the available options should be mostly standard on a car like this. Getting the options that most people want makes this car a good $10k more than it should be.
I remember a time where AMGs had hand built motors and were exclusive cars. Now everything has an AMG badge on it and it's just watering down the name and heritage. I love the C43 AMG but it should just be called a C430 or C450 but no AMG attached to it. That should be reserved for the actual C63 AMG.
What do you think compare to Audi RSQ3?
Seems 90% people commenting here have not driven the new a35 with it 8 speed dual clutch gear box before make any comment drive it other wise never undestand what I am saying
Least expensive SUV in the Merc lineup Not the Cheapest SUV
He said Cheapest 'AMG' suv
Small suv market is growing whether we like it or not and l think it will sell
I like it beautiful
You should do a review on the 2020 GLC 43 AMG
He did mate, about 4 months ago!!!
@@sanmiguel4019 Cheers mate, I must have missed that one!!
AMG is like a cocktail at happy hour. It’s full of ice with less alcohol and you’re paying more for it.
Still prefer and love the older GLA45.
I saw an old (maybe 90’s?) GL 500 coupe yesterday. It looked very (not) Mercedes. I thought it was a weird old Chevy minivan/CUV. I feel like this new generation harkens back to that era of this series. The previous version to the current was much more Euro-luxury looking.
Ah yes, the GL500 coupe from the 90's. If it didn't look like a Mercedes to you, perhaps it's because it wasn't, as there is no such thing.
👍which is best 35 or 45 ?
How much
But Raz.... what about the A35 Saloon😉
No pops n bangs? How is it amg???
Raz filmed this at AMG knowing he had a hair cut booked for when he got back and still commented on it... that's preparation to the max!!.... Or did he film the intro before he went??
You forgot to mention a35 saloon, cmon Mr AMG 😉
Mercedes I am totally lost, there are too many models in the range to allow for any individuality.
I therefore find searching for the right model an exhausting experience. The same is also true of BMW.
Just my thoughts.
How many of them do you want to buy? Take your time over the right car for you.
There must be a favorite of the bunch, for example bmw I like the 4 series and the x5. Audi I like the S5 and Q5 Mercedes GLC 63S and S class coupe or the E63 and this is the first GLA model that actually caught my eyes.
Hmmm....it sounds like a big mix of parts that combine to make a mixed up car...good but confused. I think A45S with the A35 alternative then forget the dull and boring GLB and move on to a NEW GLC 43/53AMG with a total overhaul as it is now years out of date compared to the rest of the range. As such..we have too many models and too much confusion...more is less...Porsche Macan S 2021 Hybrid please and as soon as possible!!!🤔😀😀😀😀
Why does this amg gla 35/45 not have a heated steering wheel especially on a suv. Not even the option to order it. The lower modke gla 250 has it thats ridiculous no sence.
It just looks like the ‘B Class’. Puts me right off. Previous gen GLA was more of a better looker.
This car in silver is going to look awful with all that plastic. Not to mention the fact that this should not be an amg. Big mistake on mercedes’ part with this one
No more noise due to new tougher noise pollution laws. Pretty sad. Karens won again
This is so useless, gla 45 has already been the entry level for amg’s. Bringing this to market has really lowered value of amg...
Its not useless, looks like a nice edition. However it should not be a called AMG.
Stephan van den Brink it’s a nice edition but as you say it should be something like amg line. Not an official amg line
Bro when will you will announce the winners of bmw M town passport.
I am really want the white one. I trying to shop one by I realized we can buy one we have to OWN one
Please sir, wait for response 😁
If they gave these away there still wouldn't be many on the roads.
Basically it's useless at everything and ugly too
Yeaah I don’t see the need for it, but Mercedes has the money to make “experimental projects” like this, to see if we want smaller SUVs I suppose... it’s kind of stubby (lol) but it’ll grow on people I believe
WHO saw the gle 53 inntze backround
I hated the previous CLA 45. The transmission was a non-starter. It was, frankly, terrible. It was driveable in Sport+. Otherwise, it was unbearable IMO.
Yes，it is the cheapest amg suv.In China，it also cost me 80 thousand dollars.
GLB 35 slays this. I can't stand the design, looks like the A was taken and stabbed with a footpump.
The intelligence package is not available 😕
So, all the “this is not an AMG, AMG marketing is crap with this thing”. How’s a GLA45s to you? Real AMG?
Rather have a Lexus
A fully grown adult wining about not getting pops and bangs on a car........
You must be fun at parties ..
14:47 no, not really nice feedback. Driven one and there are really no modern cars that give good feedback, especially these types of vehicles.
Comparing 35 to 45s, seriously,
Hate what Mercedes are doing to the AMG brand!
The glb is the best 35
A*
@@JohnGuidetti751 q3 and x1 are better competitors in this segment. Gla has improved abit from last year but still dont see the point. The GLB tho, such a practical car love it
hackdney i agree but not a fan of these lil cross overs might aswell just get the a class hatch or A3, 1 series
This is getting dumb. They're ruining AMGs name. AMG is supposed to be exclusive and do special models. At this point they should separate into two different car companies. What is the point of doing cheaper models so amg is more accessible? The whole point was that Mercedes made an amazing car and then amg was the ultimate masterpiece of that car. Hate that they're doing this.
letters AMG on the back of a car just doesnt mean anything anymore, they used to be so rare and exclusive, and now its like meh, any middle management shmuck with a loan has one
The AMG models have been sportier versions of the regular Mercedes models for a long, long time. Nothing that exclusive, or rare about them. If you're such a big shot buy yourself a Ferrari or something.
Heyoo
The real AMG is Aston Martin nowadays
I do not like this car. I don’t mean to annoy anyone, but this car and the remaining GLA trims shouldn’t exist
AMG has lost the plot. They used to be special. Now they slap that badge on any shit.
RemoveBeforeRace would be fired immediately as a business strategist of all major car manufacturers. The market wants SUVs. Period. Look at the sales figures. The market is right, not your personal opinions.
Every car expert knows that touring cars are so much better. But car buyers decide differently. And they are right. Several CEOs were fired for the same mistake. And a fast growing share of buyers want not only an SUV, but a fast SUV. The decision which car to buy is taken more and more by women; in many countries more than 50% of the decision takers are women. A fast growing share of women like fast cars, posh cars or both. RemoveBeforeRace: get a woman with a strong mind into your team, if you want to succeed. She could explain the SUV market in a totally new light to you first, then in your channel, where she should have more than 50% of the time.
Else you will have to join the CEOs men at their golf club for retirement.
And don't tell me that Susie Wolff knows nothing about fast cars
Aww I love you man but even you couldn’t muster any enthusiasm for this travesty, it looks like something a pensioner would buy because the local Honda dealer had moved. Probably the only RBR video I’ve turned off half way.
Sorry mate 👍
AMG this AMG that. Everything is AMG these days. Boring. No cache of the past.
Agree , this "entry level AMG" is diluting the brand and it's exculsivity.
@@alianshasi6187 Yep. Completely agree.
I would take this over A35 but I will take the Cla 35 over this..
they trow AMG word to sell ugly cars basically
First?
Well on a positive it looks miles better than the old GLA45 🤮
😉😍💖
First
You want a prize?
pointless amg sure
i think the gla is a pointless car as a whole - all of these tiny hatchbacks on stilts are silly
Looks dreadful.At least my opinion,I prefer predecessor,like many Mercedeces's models.Too high and looks fat and odd.Ugly in fact.I mean who is going to drive this car off road.Please
such a senseless car for me
the way you show cars is really boring, it should be changed
