Advance information


The Mercedes CLA 45 AMG is the most powerful and sporty CLA Class. Its dimensions vary slightly from the conventional model, but the changes are mainly cosmetic changes to introducing this model. The growing length of six inches, a difference that is marked by prominent bumpers this CLA 45 AMG. Logically rebate height (-16 mm) as AMG sports suspension mounts and widening roads 22 and 14 mm in order to optimize the dynamic response.

An interesting fact is that this Mercedes weighs about 100 kilos more than the CLA 250, which seems counterintuitive in a sporty version where you should look for weight reduction to improve its efficiency and, of course, performance. But keep in mind that this is not a segment for walking with lightweight materials and wastes of the standard riding equipment makes scale penalize. I mean items such as 18-inch wheels and brake discs 350 mm front and 330 rear.

The engine mounts CLA 45 AMG Mercedes AMG is a four-cylinder (the first time the maker of Mercedes sports versions of a block bet so small in its history) of 2.0 liters with the help the turbo delivers 360 horsepower, a figure that places it as the four-cylinder engine more powerful produced in series. Its net maximum torque (460 Nm) delivered just 2,250 rpm, which explains why you have so much drive from the start. Although I must admit I was left a little cold, because when you hear that "is the most powerful in its class" you expect a brutal rush to bury the right pedal to bottom, but the feeling of power just will not let you without words ... The good news is that the German automaker promises a consumer really low considering its power. But I must admit that I think that figure of 6.9 l/100 km, so we have to wait to do a test in depth to see how far it is true.

This powerful engine is coupled with the seven-speed transmission 'AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT' that this experiment has been sensational. Much faster and more effective than the 7G-DCT (dual clutch also).

Once behind the wheel, notes that CLA 45 AMG AMG Mercedes makes the difficult easy and grips the asphalt in surprising ways. Good because it's has all-wheel drive 4Matic, but not alone. The AMG sports suspension also encarag that behavior is magnificent.

The Mercedes CLA 45 AMG goes on sale in September and no official price will be announced until early July. But if you consider that the official rate for the Mercedes A 45 AMG itself is already available and is referenced distance price with Class 250 4Matic and the increased cost that exists with respect to equal version CLA , it seems reasonable to estimate that the final price will leave approximately 61,000 euros.
