The 2015 Mercedes CLA 45 AMG, CLA 45 AMG Shooting brake and the GLA 45 AMG have made their debut this week. These three models have received just about the same array of technical tweaks as the recently facelifted A45 AMG, including the bump in power for the 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo from 360 PS and 450 Nm to 381 PS and 475 Nm. In addition, the engineers worked on the seven-speed automatic transmission and shortened the ratios of the 3rd to 7th gear while further optimizations have reduced the shift times. The cars also get a rotary switch as standard which will be used to choose from the AMG DYNAMIC transmission modes, as follows: Comfort, Sport, Sport+ and Individual.
These three cars can be had with an optional AMG DYNAMIC PLUS kit priced at €2,618 which adds a mechanical front axle locking differential along with the AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension that can be purchased individually for €1,237. The latter will add a “Race” transmission mode as well as two-stage adjustable dampers.
Those who are interested can already get all of the cars, with prices for the CLA 45 AMG kicking off at €56,673 whereas the CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake is €57,268. The GLA 45 AMG costs €56,168 while the A45 AMG is priced at €51,051. Deliveries of all these four models are programmed to begin sometime in September.
