Mercedes-Benz Malaysia today introduced the new Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 S 4MATIC+ with numerous innovations and upgraded equipment.
With an output of 421 hp, the new CLA 45 S accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds and the top speed is limited to 270 km/h. The fully variable all-wheel drive with AMG TORQUE CONTROL makes a significant contribution to the dynamic driving experience.
On the exterior, the new AMG CLA 45 S 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 revised design of the inside of the headlights with Multibeam LED technology and the LED taillights also characterises the AMG CLA 45 S. The new paint colours hyper blue and spectral blue, extend the choice for individualisation.
As standard, the new CLA Coupé is fitted with 19” AMG 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels aerodynamically optimised and painted in matt black high-sheen rim flange with red painted brake callipers. The AMG CLA 45 S also features AMG illuminated door sills with “AMG” lettering and with exchangeable covers.
With the AMG Night package, selected exterior features such as the front splitter, exterior mirror housing, as well as the belt and windowline trim strip are finished in high-gloss black resulting in strong contrasts.
To improve handling at high speeds, the AMG CLA 45 S comes with the AMG Aerodynamics package. The option to include the AMG Aerodynamics Package Plus is also available.
New to the AMG CLA 45 S is the Driving Assistance Package consisting of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, Active Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, and Active Brake Assist allowing drivers to reach their destinations feeling more relaxed and safer.
The Active Parking Assist with 360° camera makes it easier for drivers to find a parking space and to manoeuvre into and out of parking spaces. For an added ease of mind, the AMG CLA 45 S is equipped with GUARD 360° Vehicle protection Plus.
Inside, we have two 10.25-inch displays, a new AMG Performance steering wheel with double-spoke design in nappa leather/MICROCUT microfiber, and a head-up display. The AMG Performance seats with AMG Performance Seat Package Advanced comes with the combination of ARTICO man-made leather with MICROCUT microfibre.
While leather upholstery is available as an option, the performance seats paired with MANUFAKTUR seat belts in red further accentuates the sportiness of the cabin.
The new AMG CLA 45 S also features the latest generation of MBUX with newly designed display styles, a revised telematics system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, an additional USB-C port and increased USB charging capacity, illuminated USB ports, wireless charging, as well as the Burmester audio system.
For an additional RM30,000, you can go for the special limited edition AMG CLA 45 S Street Style Edition which comes in MANUFAKTUR mountain grey MAGNO paintwork with the side foiling with AMG logo and AMG pattern in the chequered-flag design. While the logos are all orange, the edition rolls on 19-inch AMG forged wheels in a cross-spoke design, painted matte black and with a high-sheen turned rim flange.
The red-painted brake callipers form an attractive contrast to both wheels. Other exterior elements include the AMG Aerodynamics package, the AMG Night package I and II and the AMG fuel-filler cap.
The interior of the CLA 45 S Street Style Edition comes with AMG Performance seats in black ARTICO/MICROCUT microfibre and orange highlights, “CLA 45 S” label in orange, the AMG Performance steering wheel in MICROCUT leather/microfibre and aluminium AMG trim elements.
Attention to detail is also demonstrated by the instrument panel with contrasting orange stitching and the AMG door-sill trims with “AMG” lettering, a black interchangeable cover and Edition-specific lighting in red. AMG floor mats with “Street Style Edition” lettering and orange stitching complete the high-quality interior design.
