1 TRIM ABOUT THE MERCEDES-AMG CLA 45
Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 at a glance
The Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 4MATIC+ is the full-performance version of the C118 CLA. Its hand-built 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder is remarkable for its specific output, producing roughly 387 hp in standard form and more than 400 hp in CLA 45 S specification, depending on market. Power is distributed through a dual-clutch transmission and an advanced all-wheel-drive system designed to provide both traction and a more playful rear-biased character. Cariary sees the CLA 45 as far more than a cosmetic AMG package: it is a compact performance car wearing a sleek four-door body. The trade-off is that its price, ride and running costs move well beyond ordinary compact-car territory. Buyers should verify whether a listing is the standard or S version, because the badge, output and equipment can differ substantially across regions.
