AMG CLA 35 4MATIC and CLA 45 S 4MATIC+
The 302-hp AMG CLA 35 exudes passion, power and panache. And with a class-leading 416 handcrafted horsepower, the AMG CLA 45 S seduces as much with its performance as with its polished presence.
A race that knows no finish line.
In an old mill in 1967, two automotive engineers with a passion for motorsports began turning Mercedes-Benz sedans into winning racecars. Today, as the performance division of Mercedes-Benz, AMG continues to create victory on the track and desire on the streets of the world. Every Mercedes-AMG vehicle is the product of craftsmen, designers and engineers who live to test limits, and for a singular goal: Driving Performance.
Born to perform, developed to outperform
A Mercedes-AMG engine starts with the state of the art. Everything from fuel pressure to exhaust routing is developed to quicken, heighten and intensify its response, and yours. From patented processes to cut friction to a new generation of electrified performance, AMG technology is fueled by its racing success.
Boost gets a new boost
Two 2.0L turbo engines turn the AMG CLA family into a double rush. A 302-hp liquid-to-air intercooled twin-scroll turbo also brings new hybrid assist to the CLA 35. One of most powerful 4-cylinders ever in a production car bestows the new CLA 45 S with 416 handcrafted horses. Disclaimer[1]
Quick shifting gets quicker
Dual-clutch AMG SPEEDSHIFT transmissions can change gears more quickly than a human. Both cars' 8-speeds and CLA 45's 8-speed offer a range of modes, manual paddle shifts, plus a RACE START function for the CLA 45 S. Partial ignition cutoff during upshifts and rev-matched downshifts enhance response, feel and sound.
Fine-tuning gets finer
AMG DYNAMIC SELECT lets you alter the shifting, throttle, all-wheel drive and more via a console button. Modes include Comfort, Slippery, Sport+, and make-your-own Individual, plus RACE on the CLA 45 S. The standard AMG DRIVE UNIT places drive-mode controls with color displays right on the steering wheel. Disclaimer[2]
Goes from all-in, to all-out
Knowing how to send power to the pavement is the core of AMG performance, and the AMG CLA coupes are both brilliant and clever. Advanced all-wheel drive teams with agile chassis setups to turn AMG's racing skills in to your driving thrills.
Power unleashed, but never off-leash
AMG High-Performance Braking Systems rein in power and speed with 4-piston fixed front calipers grasping standard 350mm perforated discs on the CLA 35. The CLA 45 S is upfitted with 360mm front discs and red 6-piston calipers. Disclaimer[3]
Well-damped moves, undampened spirit
Rigid, lightweight components and sport-tuning add up to handling precision from the double-wishbone front/multilink rear AMG Sport Suspension. Available AMG RIDE CONTROL can adapt the damping rate at each wheel in milliseconds. Three modes offer an ideal setup from daily commuting to track-day cornering.
Variable torque, for more consistent traction
Electromechanical clutch packs and constant calculation of driving inputs, speed and g-forces allow AMG Performance 4MATIC to quickly send torque to the tires that can use it best. Rear-axle torque-vectoring further sharpens the CLA 45's AMG Performance 4MATIC+. Disclaimer[4]
Track-tuned, to track true
With the AMG Driver's Package, buttons on the steering wheel let you fine-tune the handling of AMG RIDE CONTROL. The AMG Sport Exhaust adapts to driving modes, from a subtle growl to a full-throttle forte. AMG Real Performance Sound delivers it via cockpit concert.
A multisensory sense of command
The digital cockpit of the AMG CLA coupes is furnished and finished to make you feel at one with the car's performance prowess. Deeply bolstered seats, crisp displays and ergonomically designed controls support your every driving move, while also letting you and your passengers ride in composed comfort.
Surefooted in your hands
The latest AMG Performance steering wheel features capacitive touch controls, shift paddles and twin spokes. You can have its thick, flat-bottom rim trimmed in Nappa leather, or Nappa with microfiber side grips. AMG DRIVE UNIT performance controls are standard.
Displays of precision
Standard dual 10.25-inch digital displays include a central multimedia touchscreen and reconfigurable instruments with AMG-exclusive design, readouts and menus. An available Head-Up Display projects key driving information closer to your natural line of sight. Disclaimer[6]
Always in your corner
Standard sport front seats are deeply bolstered, with integrated head restraints inspired by racing seats. Even racier AMG Performance front seats are available. A range of upholstery colours can be complimented by a range of trims in aluminum or open-pore wood.
