The new Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 4MATIC+ - Compact performance SUV for all situations

A brisk lap around the race track or a weekend trip to the mountains with sporty equipment in tow: the new GLA 45 4MATIC+ and GLA 45 S 4MATIC+ master a wide range of disciplines and impress with their impressive driving dynamics. The 2.0-liter engine is the most powerful four-cylinder turbocharged powerplant produced in large-scale production and is available in two power and torque levels. Even the base model offers more power than its predecessor at 285 kW (387 hp). The S variant, with 310 kW (421 hp), pushes into significantly higher vehicle classes. The active, fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive distributes power to the rear axle wheel-selectively via AMG TORQUE CONTROL, providing the basis for top traction in all driving conditions. This is made possible by a new rear-axle transmission that has two multi-plate clutches, one for each rear wheel. The AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 8G dual-clutch transmission portions the power in fractions of a second to suit the driving situation.
