The Mercedes-AMG A 45 has been the go-to hot hatch for the well-heeled, but increasing competition from newer high-power, all-wheel drive pocket rockets has pushed Affalterbach to revamp its smallest model in order to stay on top.
Spyshots show a fairly menacing-looking machine, the standard A-Class body hunkered down onto a wider track, a lower ride height and larger seven-spoke alloys. At the rear, one can easily spot the small twin exhaust exits that poke out of a hacksawed rear valance, although the production version should receive larger quad tailpipes integrated into the diffuser, as with the current model.
Built on a new Modular Front Architecture (MFA2) platform, the next A 45 will likely utilise the same M133 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine as the outgoing car, albeit boosted to over 400 hp in order to take the power crown away from the new Audi RS3. The 4Matic all-wheel drive system and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission should also be retained.
The new A 45 may not be the only performance variant of the next-gen A-Class – reports suggest that a halfway-house A 40 variant will also be offered, rivalling the Audi S3 and featuring between 340 and 350 hp.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
You’d rather be seen in a Benz. The society knows it.
But still rent a room? Lol
You are right!
Mercedes are common Taxi , limousine and Uber cars
commonly accepted and used .
tried this car. throttle response laggy. golf r is better. u dont need much power for a hatch. i dont understand this kind of power race between manufacturers. why don’t amg hybridize the a45 to fill that lag? its better than solely rely on boosted motor.
Both car are sucky
Suprima s turbo more responsive.
If no front tristar, it looks like an audi
All German cars design seems to lack innovation, charisma and good look nowadays.
Also lacking of elegance and evergreen designed .
Motto: I copy you and you copy me . We share share our ideas together. No need to crack our heads thinking
After all it is just sofa attached with four wheels
Lol deswai toyta so laku
Toyota is even worst .TOYOTA copy from almost every car brands in the world
Then make many crap cars for people to drive which is very boring to sit inside.
The car handles like a SAMPAN IN THE SEA!! sometimes feel like vomitting inside the car
Hot Hatches are for young petrol heads with some $$$ in their pocket. Anyone who buy an Audi RS3, Golf-R or A45 AMG is making a statement that they are young & successful.
If they choose to buy an expensive piece of toy as a mean of transportation, who are we to criticize or judge them. As long as they behave themselves, let it be.
Am sure many here will want to get their hands or own one just to feel the power on the right foot. Do not be jealous or envy of such people. You also can own one if …
You also can own one if … JJPTR
Self praise is not good praise always !!
You think you are great but actually you look like a dirt
