Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The AMG CLA45S 4Matic+ puts 421 hp, AWD and a wet dual-clutch gearbox into a five-seat C-segment sedan. Its price is plainly high: RM527,888 exceeds the stated C-segment range ceiling of RM449,888, as well as the AMG A-Class Sedan at RM343,888 and Audi A3 Sedan at RM338,990. That leaves a specific case for it: buyers who place its listed drivetrain and output above a lower entry price.
