CLA 45 S
With an output of 421hp from an AMG 2.0-litre turbo engine, the coupé accelerates from a standstill to 100kph in 4.1 seconds, with a top speed capped at 270kph, thanks to the inclusion of the AMG Driver's package.
The fully variable all-wheel drive with AMG Torque Control makes a significant contribution to the dynamic driving experience.
The rear-axle transmission allows the drive power to be distributed variably not only between the front and rear axles, but also wheel-selectively between the left and right rear wheels.
The AMG Ride Control suspension promises superior performance in everyday driving and on the racetrack.
The coupé has an AMG-specific radiator grille with vertical slats, a reshaped front apron and a round badge with the AMG emblem that reinforces the brand affiliation.
The model features a revised design of the inside of the headlights with Multibeam LED technology.
The new paint colours hyper blue and spectral blue, extend the choice for individualisation.
The coupé comes standard with 19-inch AMG 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels, painted in matt black with red brake callipers.
The AMG Night package includes AMG illuminated door seats with "AMG" lettering and with exchangeable covers. The AMG Night Package II and AMG fuel cap are available as additional options.
The coupé also comes with the AMG Aerodynamics package, which improves handling at high speeds and greater driving enjoyment.
New is the Driving Assistance Package, consisting of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, Active Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, and Active Brake Assist. The Active Parking Assist with 360° camera makes it easier for drivers to find a parking space and to maneuver into and out of parking spaces.
The interior features two 10.25-inch displays offering a high-tech experience and creates an open spatial architecture.
The AMG Performance steering wheel with double-spoke design in Nappa leather/Microcut microfibre and seamlessly integrated buttons impress with brilliant displays and intuitive operating logic. The head-up display allows the driver to have a direct view of key information ensuring their full attention remains on the road and traffic conditions.
The AMG Performance seats with AMG Performance Seat Package Advanced comes with the combination of Artico man-made leather with Microcut microfibre.
Leather upholstery is optional. The performance seats paired with Manufaktur seat belts in red further accentuate the sportiness of the cabin.
