So that the charge air can be cooled close to the ambient temperature despite the extreme quantities of heat, for the first time a 2-stage, indirect intercooler has been developed. The upcoming production model will be manufactured at a new facility in China. S-models: yellow highlights to emphasised the motor racing heritage. The spectrum ranges from comfort-focused to sporty.

According to the EPA, the A35 4Matic will achieve 24 mpg in the city, 31 on the highway, and 27 mpg combined. In addition, acceleration and deceleration values (e.g. With its sporty appointments and the MBUX infotainment system, the high-quality interior creates a close, personal connection between man and machine. Wir bieten Ihnen exklusiv die Möglichkeit, das AMG Driver's Package nachzurüsten und das ohne Beeinträchtigung der Mercedes-Benz Garantie. Perfect sequences in all driving situations, and fast gearshifts measured in milliseconds, are guaranteed by the new AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT-8G dual-clutch transmission with eight gears. In "Pro" the driver receives even more assistance for dynamic driving manoeuvres while agility and feedback from the road when cornering are further enhanced. This innovative measure allows a cold cylinder head for maximum output with efficient ignition timing, and a warm crankcase to reduce in-engine friction. The all-wheel drive control is dependent on the selected driving mode and the AMG DYNAMICS setting.

In the A45 4MATIC+ it is in a jet-wing design. The lower yaw damping, lower steering angle requirement and enhanced agility support dynamic manoeuvres such as driving on winding country roads. The characteristic, sporty AMG ambience is also enhanced by the sports pedal cluster of brushed stainless steel with rubber studs, black floor mats with AMG lettering and a surround in a nubuck leather look, the black fabric roof liner and AMG front entry sills in brushed stainless steel with "AMG" lettering. Steering: with special steering rack and variable ratio. The A45 has a claimed 0-100km/h sprint time of 3.9 seconds and the CLA in four seconds dead. Even the basic model with 285 kW (387 hp) is more powerful than its predecessor. This means that the turbocharger and the exhaust manifold are now positioned at the rear, on the side of the firewall when viewed from behind. The front apron is also a distinguishing feature. With this configuration the AMG engineers have achieved a power delivery akin to a naturally aspirated engine. An even more dynamic set-up for suspension, steering and drivetrain. The galvanised steering wheel gearshift paddles allow an even sportier driving style with manual gear shifting. This is done using GPS data as well as the sensors available in the vehicle (acceleration, gyroscope, steering angle, wheel speeds). This is made possible by a new rear axle differential featuring two multidisc clutches - one for each rear wheel. The extremely dynamic driving experience in a completely new dimension is greatly assisted by the fully variable all-wheel drive included as standard. To better highlight the differences between the two, the following video features four drag races, two from a standing and two from a rolling start, in Comfort and Sport driving modes, and a brake test from 70 mph (113 km/h). AMG DYNAMICS: more agility with high stability.
thanks to very early upshifts.

The larger exhaust cross-sections allow the gases to stream out of the combustion chambers with low losses, and reduce the overall piston venting action.

Functions such as alternator management, the ECO start/stop function with fast restarting, the gliding function and a petrol particulate filter are also part of the technology package for the new AMG four-cylinder.

The separate condenser and radiator configuration and thermal management specifically designed to meet (everyday) requirements and (racetrack) performance enable efficient and coordinated cooling performance. Furthermore, the electric water pump ensures the full engine output and optimum heat dissipation over the entire engine speed range. The driver and front passenger are seated in an active position on contoured sport seats with firm lateral support.
