After Mercedes lifts the veil off the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG, it has become one of the most awaited vehicles for this year. The vehicle promises exceptional performance with state of the art automobile technology in one sleek package.
The newly revealed Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG has been dubbed as the most powerful series production with a four-cylinder engine in the world. This is a compact crossover SUV that comes with a hand built two-liter four-cylinder, turbocharger engine which is designed to generate up to 332 pounds-foot of torque and 355 horsepower. Its makers also confirm that its engine can accelerate to 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds and its top speed is 155 mph.
The Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG is also designed with a seven speed AMG SpeedShift Dual Clutch Transmission. This feeds the power of the engine to the AMG 4Matic 4WD system which actually turns the front wheels of the vehicle. With this feature, about 50 percent of the engine output may be transferred to the vehicle’s rear wheels. In addition, the transmission offers the option of manual shifting through the availability of the paddle shifters. The vehicle can also be placed in Sport, Controlled Efficiency, RaceStart, and Manual driving modes.
When the vehicle is operated in the Controlled Efficiency mode, the Eco stop/start system will shut the engine off when the vehicle is idling in traffic or when it is at an intersection. This will improve the fuel economy of the vehicle and this will also significantly reduce emissions. The vehicle also comes with a stability control system which provides ESP Off, ESP ON, and Sport Handling mode Settings. Additionally, the vehicle comes with a standard ESP Curve Dynamic Assist which will place brakes on the vehicle’s inside rear wheel. This will actually prevent understeer when the driver is taking the corners with gusto.
The Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG also features the standard AMG sports suspension, the AMG Sports exhaust, and the speed sensing AMG sports steering. The buyers have the option to select a firmer performance suspension setup and a performance exhaust system. This vehicle is also equipped with a high performance braking system which comes with a vented as well as drilled discs located at each corner. The discs are clamped with gray colored brake calipers. However, the buyer has the option to choose the red colored brake calipers.
Additionally, the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG comes with the standard 19-inch and five-spoke AMG wheels. Its wheels have titanium gray finish and its wheels are wrapped in P235/45R19 tires. However, the buyer has the option to choose the 20-inch and ten-spoke wheels with matte black or titanium gray finish and P235/40R20 tires.
The Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG is also designed with titanium matte gray exterior trim with aluminum roof rails and side sill panels. Moreover, this also comes with Turbo AMG badges.
Compared to its predecessor, the standard GLA250 model, this vehicle comes with redesigned front end and a front splitter. Moreover, this comes with the twin blade AMG grille, bi-xenon headlights, and black air deflectors right above its oversized air intakes. This comes with a rear diffuser insert at its back portion and two chrome finished rectangular exhaust outlets.
The interiors of the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG features sport seats up front which are upholstered with MB-Tex leatherette as well as Dinamica microfiber with red stitching for contrast. In addition, the vehicle comes with a 3 spoke multi-function sports steering wheel which is wrapped in Nappa leather with perforations along the grip areas and red stitching for contrast. There are also several additional upgrades available like the AMG instrumentation as well as Racetimer technology, brushed aluminum dashboard trim, brushed stainless steel doorsill plates and red colored Designo seat belts.
