AMG CLA in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the current C118 facelift carries on unchanged as the AMG CLA45S 4Matic+ petrol model, with no 2026-specific Malaysia update for this generation. The latest local developments were the 2023 facelift launch and a 2025 Final Edition at RM539k on-the-road. The next AMG CLA45 is already signposted for 2027 as an EV with three motors, 680 PS and 670 km WLTP, so the present car remains the late-cycle petrol choice.

Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA is a narrow brief, and the numbers make that clear. With 421 hp from a 1,991 cc petrol engine and a wet dual-clutch automatic, it is the hard-hitting version of the CLA facelift, not a budget C-segment sedan play. It also costs more than the C-segment sedan field, which runs up to RM449,888. Buy it for the petrol AMG format; price is not its defence.
