- Mercedes-AMG A 45 S 4MATIC+ priced from £50,595, or £56,595 for the range-topping
A 45 S 4MATIC+ Plus - Both models feature AMG’s specially configured 4MATIC+ four-wheel-drive system, which, for the first time in the compact AMG models, features Drift Mode
- The A 45 S 4MATIC+ uses a newly-developed 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine – codenamed M139 – which produces up to 421 hp and 500 Nm (previous generation A 45 and CLA 45 produced 381 hp and 475 Nm). This makes it the world’s most powerful 2.0-litre turbocharged engine in series production
- The new engine is entirely hand-built, following Mercedes-AMG’s “One Man, One Engine” principle
- The A 45 S 4MATIC+ can sprint from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.9 seconds; the previous A 45 took 4.2 seconds to reach 62 mph. It has a standard top speed of 167 mph
- The A 45 S 4MATIC+ delivers between 32.8 and 32.5 combined mpg with CO2 emissions from
194 g/km - The active, fully-variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive distributes the power to the rear axle wheel-selectively by AMG Torque Control – for top traction and the spectacular Drift mode. This is made possible by a new rear axle differential featuring two multidisc clutches – one for each rear wheel
- Drift mode can be called up in the “RACE” driving mode using the shift paddles, provided that ESP® is deactivated and manual transmission is selected
- The 8-speed AMG Speedshift DCT 8G dual-clutch transmission comes as standard, which contributes to the car’s agile and dynamic character thanks to its spontaneous acceleration in all speed ranges, combined with fast shifting and optimum connections when shifting up
- The AMG Aerodynamic package – standard A 45 S 4MATIC+ Plus - increases the downforce, and therefore boosts handling stability
- The new AMG suspension, with specific spring elements and the new, frequency-selective shock absorbers, provides high directional stability and highly dynamic cornering characteristics with low body roll
- The AMG Ride Control adaptive damping – only available on A 45 S 4MATIC+ Plus – system enables the driver to choose between three different suspension control modes, ranging from comfort to sporty
- The six AMG Dynamic Select driving modes “Slippery”, “Comfort”, “Sport”, “Sport +”, “Individual” and “RACE” allow a wide spread of vehicle characteristics, from comfortable to dynamic
