Ahead of a reveal at the New York Auto Show, the Mercedes CLA 45 AMG – the AMG version of the new CLA – has arrived with a raft of photos.

Looking just asn you’d expect – the new Mercedes CLA with the AMG bits from its hatchback sibling, the A 45 AMG – the CLA gets a diamond grill with double chrome bar and big 3-pointed star, front splitter. butch bumpers, black door mirrors, boot spoiler and carbon fibre trim and no doubt the option of the AMG Performance Pack.
Under the bonnet is the same 2.0 litre turbo as the A45 AMG that delivers a massively potent 355bhp and 332lb/ft of torque, enough to scoot the CLA45 AMG to 62mph in 4.6 seconds, and yet conspires to offer official economy around 34mpg.
As these photos haven’t yet been revealed officially, we don’t know what the CLA 45 will cost, although we’re guessing it will be closer to £40k than the A45 AMG.
We’ll update with more when Mercedes makes this reveal official.

It’s a dream for me!

The CLA45 AMG does look good in photos but does it look as good in the flesh? Isn’t it just too small to look like a real MB?
Leo says
It’s longer than a C- Class wise guy. Does a C class qualify as a MB? Yes it does…So your question is basically ridiculous.
