Verdict

The A 45 S 4MATIC+ is a narrowly focused proposition: a five-seat C-segment hatchback with a 421 hp, 1,991 cc petrol engine. Its RM509,888 price is plainly above every named same-class rival, including the RM399,900 Honda Civic Type R, RM368,950 Toyota GR Corolla and RM338,812 Volkswagen Golf R. Buyers are paying a substantial premium, so the specification and Mercedes-AMG badge need to justify it.
