Mercedes-AMG calls the new CLA 45 4MATIC+ a “super sports car in the compact class,” and after having recently spent a week in the sedan I’m inclined to agree. Entering its second-generation last year, the flashy four-door represents a selection in the AMG line-up that is relatively affordable yet uncompromising in performance.
“We have completely redesigned our CLA 45 - from the engine and transmission through to the chassis, the elaborately constructed drivetrain and body structure, and of course the design itself - all with one goal. To raise vehicle dynamics and the sporty driving experience to a level previously unimaginable in the compact class,” said Tobias Moers, Mercedes-AMG board of management chairman, in a news release.
