Mercedes-AMG A 45’s new teaser video revealed just before Christmas

KUALA LUMPUR: The brand new Mercedes-AMG A 45 has been teased with the release of an unconventional Christmas video before its arrival. It will be slotted above the A 35 4Matic that was launched last September. It will provide better performance than other A 35 4 Matic.

Some of the capabilities of the car have been displayed in the video, along with a lot of drifting too. The new Mercedes-AMG A45 displayed in the video has a colorful camouflage and looks to follow the same path as the A35 by featuring an aggressive stance. It comes with a four-tailpipe exhaust system, along with a Panamericana grille up front. The vehicle rides on the new alloy wheels and will get the rear wing similar to that of the A35.

Tobias Moers, the CEO of Mercedes-AMG, has given all the details of the new A45. The car is powered by a four-cylinder turbocharged 2.0-litre motor that is capable of churning out a maximum of 395 hp power, which is 95 hp more powerful than the A35. The engine comes mated to an eight-speed DCT (Dual-Clutch Transmission) gearbox. It is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 kmph in just 4.7 seconds and has a claimed top speed of 250 kmph.

The new Mercedes-AMG A 45 will use the standard 4MATIC AWD (All-Wheel Drive) system. Also, a brand-new drift mode will be provided, which is pretty identical to the one used in Mercedes-AMG GT Four-Door Coupe.

The CEO of the company also added that the chassis of the vehicle has been improved and it will offer a more rigid and comfortable drive experience over the A35.
