Outstanding performance, the ultimate driving dynamics, expressive design – the new Mercedes-AMG compact A 45 4MATIC+/A 45 S 4MATIC+ sports cars and CLA 45 4MATIC+/CLA 45 S 4MATIC+ reassert their leading positions in their segments. They seamlessly continue the success story of their predecessors, while setting numerous new standards. Available in two output and torque variants, the completely newly developed 2.0-litre engine is the world’s most powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engine manufactured for series production. Even the basic model with 285 kW (387 PS) is more powerful than its predecessor. The S-variant with 310 kW (421 PS) jostles with considerably higher vehicle classes. Perfect sequences in all driving situations and fast gearshifts measured in milliseconds are guaranteed by the new AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 8G dual-clutch transmission with eight gears. The active, fully-variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive distributes the power to the rear axle wheel-selectively by AMG TORQUE CONTROL – for top traction and the spectacular Drift mode. This is made possible by a new rear axle differential featuring two multidisc clutches – one for each rear wheel
With its new compact sports models Mercedes-AMG is demonstrating its high competence in development once again: “We have completely redesigned our 45 models – from the engine and transmission through the chassis, the elaborately constructed drivetrain to the body structure and of course the design itself – all with one goal: to raise vehicle dynamics and the sporty driving experience to a level previously unimaginable in the compact class. With the presentation of this, our most powerful and most dynamic compact sports car, we are also reinforcing the significance of this segment for our growth strategy,” says Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Management Board of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
The new Mercedes-AMG A 45 4MATIC+ and CLA 45 4MATIC+ models are even more distinctive than their predecessors. The exterior conveys sheer driving pleasure even at standstill. For the first time, the compact class now also features the AMG-specific radiator grille with a wider lower contour and twelve vertical louvres – as a clear indicator of the AMG Performance family membership. At the same time, the pronounced “shark nose”, the slim, deeply contoured headlamps and the flat, aerodynamically favourable bonnet with powerdomes visually lower the front section to create the impression of extremely dynamic forward thrust.
