Dynamic and individual cars for new target groups
.
Targeting individuals with ages ranging between 30 and the mid-40s who’re professionally successful and independent, the CLA 45 AMG target groups are younger than the previous AMG customers. Those who wish to express their style- and trend-driven lifestyle with a car from a recognised performance brand.

Typically AMG: the most powerful series-production four-cylinder turbo engine in the world
.
.
Powering the CLA 45 AMG is the newly developed AMG 2.0-litre twin-scroll turbo engine (which is assembled entirely by hand and even then by one engineer only) with a maximum output of 360 hp and up to 450 Newton metres of torque, The power density of 133 kW (181 hp) puts the AMG high-performance turbo engine on par with the world’s most powerful super sports cars.
.
The high output and torque coupled with the performance-oriented AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive fitted as standard make for extremely dynamic performance as the CLA 45 AMG complete the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds and have a top speed of 250 km/h (electronically limited). With a fuel consumption of 6.9 litres per 100 kilometres (NEDC combined), the new high-performance cars from Affalterbach are exceptionally efficient and lead the way in their segments. It is a further priority to ensure a sustainable reduction in particulate emissions.
.
It is also worth noting that the twin-scroll technology provides for a more spontaneous build-up of charge pressure, making effective use of exhaust gas back pressure, exhaust gas temperature and exhaust gas impulse. This results in a swifter build-up of torque right from the moment you step on the gas pedal. The AMG sports exhaust system features large pipe cross-sections and an automatically controlled exhaust flap. The flap is continuously adjusted by map control according to the power called up by the driver, load status and engine speed.
.
During powerful acceleration, the tailpipes of the AMG sports exhaust system emit an exciting sound. The four-door high-performance coupé’s engine sound is more understated so as to make the ride an even more pleasurable experience for the rear passengers. An AMG performance exhaust system with exhaust flap is available as an option. Those opting for this system will experience an even more emotive and full engine sound.
.
AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission
.
.
Handling the gear cogs is the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission featuring seven gears, three distinct transmission modes, a double-declutching function dependent on the transmission mode and RACE START for optimum acceleration. Major strengths of the AMG dual clutch transmission include spontaneous gearshifts without interruption in tractive power, a tailor-made control strategy based on the AMG SPEEDSHIFT functions, extremely smooth and easy gearshifts, and a high level of efficiency. The shift times in manual mode “M” and in sport mode “S” are similarly sporty in character to those of the SLS AMG GT super sports car. Briefly and precisely interrupting ignition and injection under full load leads to even faster gearshifts in “M” and “S”, with a more emotive sound. The transmission control fully utilises the benefits of the direct injection technology right up to the physical limits: the quicker engine response ensures that injection is interrupted even more precisely, resulting in fast gear changes and an emotional sound experience designed to generate excitement.
.
In “C” mode (Controlled Efficiency), tangibly soft transmission and engine characteristics support a fuel-efficient and comfort-oriented driving style. In addition, in “C” mode the ECO start/stop function is active. Another special feature designed to enhance dynamic performance and driving enjoyment is the so-called “Momentary M mode” – as seen in the SLS AMG Coupé Black Series super sports car.
.
Performance-oriented AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive
.
.
The CLA 45 AMG comes with variable, performance-oriented AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive as standard. In developing this all-wheel drive system, the focus was firmly on performance and dynamic spirit. The power transfer to the rear powertrain is provided by a compact power take-off unit (PTU) which is fully integrated into the 7-speed sports transmission. When the driving dynamics so require, the variable AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive splits the torque between front and rear axle up to a ratio of 50:50 per cent.
.
.
Typically for AMG, the Electronic Stability Program is configured as 3-stage ESP®. The CLA 45 AMG have three driving modes – “ESP ON”, “SPORT Handling Mode” and “ESP OFF” – enabling dynamic performance to be varied according to individual requirements at the push of a button. ESP® Curve Dynamic Assist is likewise included as standard.
.
AMG sports suspension and AMG high-performance braking system
.
Like every AMG high-performance car, the CLA 45 AMG incorporate sophisticated axle technology. For enhanced dynamic handling, the McPherson front axle is fitted with stiffer steering knuckles and new elastokinematics. The four-link rear axle is also a completely new development. Handling stability and precision are enhanced by the optimised elastokinematics and the rigid connection between the subframe and the body. The AMG sports suspension with specifically tuned spring/damper units and larger anti-roll bars provides for high lateral acceleration and a reduced rolling tendency in fast double bends.
.
The CLA 45 AMG comes as standard with AMG multi-spoke alloy wheels, in Matt Black, fitted with 235/35 R 19 tyres.
.
Dynamic and exclusive interior design and appointments
.
.
Inside, the CLA 45 AMG boasts hallmark Mercedes-AMG dynamic spirit and exclusivity. High-quality touches in both high-performance cars include
.
- sports seats in ARTICO man-made leather/DINAMICA microfibre with red contrasting topstitching and red seat belts
- multifunction sports steering wheel with shift paddles,
- AMG DRIVE UNIT with E-SELECT lever. The CLA 45 AMG is distinguishable by the
- AMG instrument panel trim in brushed aluminium and five galvanised ventilation outlets. Furthermore, the
