Mercedes-AMG A-Class.

The exterior offers additional and distinguishing Mercedes-AMG A 35 4MATIC features:

- AMG-specific radiator grille and AMG lettering.
- Front splitter and trim elements on the slats in the outer air intakes in black.

The striking AMG rear apron with specific diffuser look featuring four vertical fins and two round black tailpipe trim elements with a diameter of 90 millimetres add up to high recognition value.

19-inch AMG multi-spoke light-alloy wheels painted in matt black with a high-sheen finish.

Eye-catching features at the sporty, wide rear end include the two twin tailpipe trims measuring 90 mm in diameter. And the distinctive diffuser look with four vertical fins. The striking design is completed by the AMG spoiler lip on the roof spoiler finished in the body colour.

Optional 48.3 cm (19-inch) cross-spoke forged wheels and red-painted brake callipers round off the powerful package. After all, the power of the newly developed AMG 4-cylinder turbocharged engine needs to be applied to the road as effectively as possible.

The distinctive front apron, the AMG-specific radiator trim and the bonnet with the striking power domes clearly distinguish the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S 4MATIC+ from the Mercedes-AMG A 35 4MATIC.

Another of the clear distinguishing features: the wide front track with flared wings. The "TURBO 4MATIC+" lettering here catches the eye right away and leaves no doubt: this is a Mercedes-AMG A 45 S model.

The strikingly designed AMG instrument cluster supplies vital information for high-performance driving. The AMG menu provides additional sporty information, such as:
- Gear indicator (including yellow "M" symbol in manual mode).
- Warm-up menu (including engine and transmission oil temperature).
- Set-up menu (including AMG DYNAMIC SELECT settings).
- G-meter.
- Race Timer.
- Engine data.

Distinctive AMG centre console, decidedly sporty with raised front section – with integral control switches for manual transmission mode, 3-stage ESP® and AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension.

Enjoy the beauty and intelligence of a digitised multimedia system. You decide which information it displays. Entering commands and information is just as flexible, e.g. using the touch-sensitive media display.

Create an emotional bond – turn a vehicle into your vehicle with the extended MBUX functions that can be fully attuned to you. Just say "Hey Mercedes" and your MBUX system awaits your wishes. Plus, personal profiles, predictive functions and a WiFi hotspot completely redefine the concept of digital networking.

The Mercedes-AMG A 45 S is as sporty on the inside as they are on the outside. The MBUX multimedia system with instrument cluster, featuring three different display designs including Supersport mode with a large rev counter, is made for performance. The optionally available AMG Performance steering wheel complements this perfectly.

The AMG TRACK PACE virtual race engineer is included as standard in the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S 4MATIC+ with hard-disc navigation and Widescreen Cockpit. The AMG menu with additional information such as gear indicator, Warm-up menu, Setup menu, G-Meter, Race Timer and engine data is available in all Mercedes-AMG A-Class models.

Yellow highlights throughout the interior of the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S 4MATIC+ underscore the vehicle's motorsport character. The optional AMG Performance seats upholstered in ARTICO man-made leather/DINAMICA microfibre in black with yellow topstitching are a perfect match.

The AMG 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with 225 kW (306 hp), 400 Nm, twin scroll technology, a water charge-air cooler and self-contained air intake (clean air line) transfers its enormous power to road smoothly.

AMG Performance 4MATIC with even faster-responding electromechanical multiple-disc clutch for fully variable power distribution and excellent traction when accelerating out of bends.

The AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7G transmission is your ideal partner for a sporty driving style. If you so wish, the dual clutch transmission can serve up thrillingly fast gear changes, but also boasts comfort-oriented, barely imperceptible shifting. As such you can enjoy the best of both worlds – racing or comfort on long journeys, you decide!

The AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension is your key to superior performance in everyday driving and on the race track. The adaptive damping provides a broad range between a comfortable and very sporty setup. You choose between Comfort, Sport or Sport+ with only one operating procedure and the suspension characteristics change immediately.

As the most powerful series-produced 4-cylinder engine with twin scroll turbocharging, the newly developed high-tech power pack continues in the tradition of its predecessor. It is a true performance champion with 310 kW (421 hp) and 500 Nm, which accelerates the vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. It takes the larger AMG high-performance brakes with red-painted calipers to tame this sort of power.

The new AMG Performance 4MATIC+ with AMG TORQUE CONTROL enables motorsport-like performance. Two separately acting clutches on the rear axle allow fully variable torque distribution to each of the rear wheels exactly as required. This is particularly noticeable in the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S 4MATIC+ when the standard-fit Drift mode is selected.

The RACE START function gives you optimal acceleration from a standing start. The partial ignition interruption during upshifts and automatic double declutching during downshifts ensure an emotional sound, especially in S+ mode.
