The luxury market can be flooded with multipurpose vehicles such as GLS and GLB, half a liter, but the Mercedes-Benz is not far from its traditional roots in the passenger car sector, as demonstrated earlier. year a new version of the CLA sedan.
Now, the manufacturer plans to upgrade its game using a high-performance version, the Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 2020. It is equipped with a brand new 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that will generate a torque of 382 hp. This is a first-generation AMG jump and enough to go from zero to 60 in just four seconds at a top speed of 155 mph.
"While some manufacturers are pulling out of the passenger car market, the launch of CLA 45 last week" reinforces the importance of this sector in our growth strategy, "said Tobias Muirz, President of Mercedes-Benz AMG Arm Daimler AG.
A smaller version of the CLS sedan, the flagship sedan, Mercedes, made a lot of waves when it first appeared in 2013. I quickly clicked with buyers from around the world and I was the new model to grow the fastest ever recorded for the United States in Germany. Of sales - backed by the decision to submit a base model at a price just under $ 30,000.
The price of CLA has risen slightly since then. At the same time, the Mercedes-Benz GLA, which shares the same platform but has an interchangeable body, has become a more popular alternative among young buyers entering the luxury market for the first time.
CLA's sales for the first half of 2019 decreased by 40.7% in the United States to 6942 cars. For June, demand fell 72.6% from the same month last year, reaching 573 small sedans. Part of this decline was attributed to the delay in launching the new AMG version of the market, although sales at GLA Crosse are relatively stable, indicating that the CLA sedan is experiencing a steady evolution of sedans and passenger cars. SUVs and crossovers.
The arrival of the new CLA 45 should help slow the downward spiral.
Like the most common versions, such as the CLA 250, the AMG benefits from a complete second-generation change. But CLA 45 also gets new details, such as the unique and extensive network. It also captures 12 vertical helmets on other AMG production lines. The CLA's "nose cabin" has been reduced to give the car a better look and feel, enhanced by a wider front bumper and bold wheel mounts.
There are larger air intakes to power the turbocharger as well as aerodynamic details, such as the front distributor and the front air passages. This reduces the drag and increases the force exerted by the bottom so that the CLA 45 remains stuck to the ground in case of significant acceleration.
Mercedes has stated that side skirts, wheels and tires made from larger alloys and double-round tubes complete the performance details, although buyers do not see an improved body to improve stability at high speed and of maneuvers with strong inclinations.
Like all AMG models, every new 2.0-liter engine is produced by a technician. It's the most powerful Mercedes ever built in a car of this size. The power supply is connected to all four wheels, although the 4Matic + system typically generates torque to the rear wheels to improve performance.
Buyers can choose to suspend adaptive driving control and, at the same time, can switch from each of the softer to firmer individual dampers, or anything that separates them, depending on road conditions and driver information. .
The interior is filled with leather and artificial leather and features a driver-oriented design. It also gets the new MBUX system for information and entertainment systems very similar to the Amazon Alexa Audio Assistant, allowing the driver to control objects using natural speech.
The AMG competes with high performance competitors such as the Audi RS3 and the BMW M2, which have also been under pressure from changing market conditions.
The German automaker has not released figures on fuel economy or prices for the Mercedes AMG CLA 45 for 2020, which will reach US showrooms later this year. The outgoing model holds $ 53,100 MSRP.
