A week after it was unveiled without an official pricetag, the Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG now has a confirmed Malaysian price. As it turns out, it falls far below the suggested “under RM400,000” pricepoint, finalising at RM348,888 (on-the-road without insurance).
In fact, that RM349k buys you a top-spec A 45 AMG Edition 1, no less. The special limited-run examples add on both the AMG Night package and the Aerodynamics package. Upsized matt black 19-inch wheels with 235/35 profile tyres, upgraded AMG high-performance brakes and louder AMG Performance exhaust system are all packaged in as well.
As you’d already know, the little rocket is equipped with the most powerful series production four-cylinder engine in the world. The hand-built M132 2.0 litre twin-scroll turbo engine offers a rather significant 360 hp at 6,000 rpm and 450 Nm at 2,250 to 5,000 rpm. As with all AMGs here, RON 97 fuel is recommended.
An AMG Speedshift DCT seven-speed dual-clutch sports transmission takes care of gearshifts, and the car comes with AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive as standard. Performance specs include a 0-100 km/h time of 4.6 seconds and an electronically-limited 250 km/h top speed.
Mercedes-Benz Malaysia is quick to quip that the A 45 AMG Edition 1 is priced at under RM1,000 per hp, and that it’s by far the most affordable proper AMG model sold here. The next step up is the RM782k C 63 AMG Coupe, which is more than twice as costly.
Would you consider this uber-hatch a bargain, then?
it is a lot cheaper than the BMW 1M.
This marks the death of the BMW 4 series. Launched today but died today. Anyway, I am waiting for Sam Loo to come here and talk about this car’s RV. He will probably say Camry is far superior than AMG.
Both r crap and overpriced i must say!
Why do you say so?
which car are not over price? you tell us please.
4.6sec to make century sprint. Yes that’s good but still GT-R is better.
a GT-R is faster cause it’s in the supercar territory… this is a hatchback… and the 2013 GT-R is way more expensive compared to this…
GTR is fast on the straights and corners, very effective tool. But it’s heavy and wears its tires very fast. You could probably get a used GTR for this amount of money, but this is a monster hatch, while the GTR is in the supercar territory.
2 of my friends have had troubles with their GTR’s LSD but other than that, i guess it’s quite worth the thrill. For me though, the GTR is still a tad too heavy. I’m a GT3 type of person and the 997 GT3 remains the best car I’ve ever driven.
4 series and a45 are like two diff cars in character altogether……..
FAP-tastic!
The will be alot of boy racer after this
I guess more would be attracted to a used GTR, which is approx the same price bracket these days.
i will go for recon R35
You tadak duit ka mau beli recond car? hahahah
i bet u only use cheap plotong only?
cheap plotong only? phuihhhh plotong. i only use plotong or T & H & Volks for pergi pasar/supermarket only la.
recond car for org tadak duit? i dont think so. for some people, they will go for recon car not bcoz they dont hve money but they r smart people. car is not asset like property n the price will decrease very fast each year so no need to spend a lot for buying new one. supercar like ferrari n lambo also got so many recon n still not for org tadak duit. this is just my opinion only dato no need rendah2kan org n proton wahai wanabe dato?
Hopefully they also launch the normal A45 without the edition 1 package…maybe at 328-338k…that would be a fantastic price
Ya, hopefully it take out the ‘Edition 1″ and make it even cheaper, maybe around 330k.
Really love this car!
Superb performance, nice design!
I sure will buy it! (…..if i have money)
For only RM19K you want to take out E 1 package, you’re sure?
355K for 4.6s AMG Merc, good deal.
If you just want quick pace and you are not a racer, A250 is good enough.
Jimmy, the Edition 1 adds night package and asrodynamics package. So jwrx is suggesting a reduction of 19k minus those two things, but still with AMG upgrades.
Not everyone wants a huge ah beng RED wing on a classy car like a A45, and the carbon splitters in front are abit too much for my taste
Errr….with your tag as wrx, i am sure your are beng closet.
hehe…my tag is more then 15 years old…i was a ah beng back then…not now
After all the edition 1 models sold out, are they still gonna sell the standard car?
nice timing. I’ll cancel my vios and get this one.
I’ll cancel my viva and get this one.
ill cancel my Ex5 for this…
I’ll cancel my kapchai and get this one.
i will sell my 120 Y and get this 1.
I will sell rosmah ring to buy this
Luckily Rosmah not selling you..
i sell my house and by this. and sleep in it.
i’ll cancel this and buy vios
Kelakar siot korang ni! Abes sape nk beli suprima s???
WOW….. that’s a bloody good lookin’ car…..
anyone got 349k to spare?
Ask that mamak lady to give you a few cows. Sure can buy a few to ferry the cows.
This is so gonna be my car in at least 5 years time :D
So, which is a better buy? A45 or 428i?
Er.. for performance of course A45, i feel that it is better price than 4 series.. But if wan attract chick, i think 428i better haha..
I think the 4 would be a more relaxed drive as opposed to this. I don’t really see the reason for this car as the MEgane RS is fast enough for me, although the best I’ve sampled is the Iroc R.
Not worth it. I can buy 4 vios at that price
Yes Sam Loo also said like that too
u can buy 10 viva at that price too
One word- Beautiful
Only RON97 fuel is recommended.. sweattt”’ pump liquid gold all the time
Luxurious brand owners should not utilise subsidy from government, leave it to others ok.
Shameful pumping RON95 into our luxurious vehicles.
buddy,their income tax could be higher than your annual salary. just let them be.
You probably are new to this website.
You probably think my garage has 2 cars, CRV & Camry.
You probably think I pump RON95.
And you probably think I run typical Chinaman business and do not honestly pay income tax 100%.
I always said: do the right things, youngsters. This is even more important when we have ages and wealths.
I won’t reply to any comment even if it said I am a dog, it’s meaningless; I reply when the comment or reply involve important message or meaning.
Do you know the word ‘shameful’ was used purposefully and intentionally?
Then you must be umno cronies.
lol uncle..v dont “probably” think . v damn sure u are .
for max output… actualy u need to fill with RON 98
FAP FAP FAP FAP FaP FAP FAp fAPPpPppPPpPp,!!!!! Ahhhhh,,
If you want to attract chick, get 4 series.
If you want to attract Ah Pek, get this car.
pumping out 360hp from a 2L engine and 450Nm! sweet… wonder if it’s gonna steal Golf R or Scirocco R customers albeit there’s still significant price gap and of course both are in different league between the 2 marques?
only a matter of time for us to see lots of these baby rockets on our road
I love the design so much. If road is good in Sarawak, can get 1.
I cannot understand why you people compare the A45 with the GTR? You all might as well compare it to an AVENTADOR or a Ferrari FF. For goodness sake is a completely different car. If the GTR is so good then why people are still buying European exotics. It just doesn’t have the built quality & the exotic feel & presence of the Teutonic & Italian exotics. IMHO the GTR is for boy racers who cannot afford the European exotics & try to tweak to over 700+ hp & race with the Lambos & Ferraris. Try doing Launch control on the GTR all day long. I’m interested to see the end results as compare to the 991 Turbo S doing the same thing.
You are right. I rather be seen in a german or italian supercar than wat….jepun rice rocket. Want to impress? You drive a gtr, hotel will shoo u to basement car park. If u arrive in a german or italian, sure vip car park. If you pick up a hot date, in gtr, she will think you either an ah long or some massage parlour taikor. If the other marque, her panties will auto remove for you. :)
which means u had never been in a gtr before
Dont get too worked up bro…majority of ppl who compare GTR to the A45 have never driven nor even sat in a GTR. Its just stuff ppl say while browsing mudah.com
I understand that it’s not very wise to compare the A45 with the GTR and you have a point. However, I don’t think it’s necessary to stereotype GTR owners (most of those who compared everything to a GTR on forums probably never even drove one).
Despite the interior being nowhere near to the 911 standards it was pitched against, it is still one damn impressive sports car. It’s a weird feeling you get when you drive it because it doesn’t feel like one that’d do even half the stuff car magazines claim but this thing will just keep surprising you. And most importantly I wasn’t shopping with a GTR on the list because I’m a boy racer and I couldn’t afford an European. Not saying this because I’m butthurt because I did end up with something else.
You bought a Proton Suprima S instead……
Do we really need 360hp and 450torq for a car?
SURE AS HELL YEAH!!!!
there gonna be new bad boy in town!!
salesman proton mesti cakap suprima is better than A45..hahah
all things good bout this car, except the exterior kits are too ah beng…not so elegance like Golf R
AMG kit you called it ah beng…..-.-” u really got no class la…..
i guess you must have DSG probs abt your Golf R right? hahahah admit it
Waiting list upto 2015!
Golf will cry to the car
People will cry to the price…
this car is not suitable in malaysia since the roads are like driving rally and the police gonna drink more kopi and rosmah gonna buy new cincin
