Mercedes-Benz offers a wide range of vehicles in the United States. Unfortunately, the A-Class has never been one of them. Sold in Europe, Australia, Africa, basically everywhere except North America, the A-Class has become an icon for its high performance and low price tag combination. Why then, is it not available in the United States? Here are the specifications we could expect from a 2017 Mercedes-AMG A45 4MATIC Hatchback if it were to come to the new world.
The GLA: America’s A-Class
In places where the A45 is sold, it is actually available as an A180, A200, A200d, A250 Sport 4MATIC, Mercedes-AMG A45 4MATIC and the A45 4MATIC LCT Fuel-efficient version. It is the smallest vehicle available under the Mercedes-Benz brand on any continent but it holds its own against cars twice its size.
The 2017 Mercedes-AMG A45 comes with a handcrafted AMG 2.0L inline-4 turbo. It is the same one used in the Mercedes-AMG CLA45, producing 375 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque.
As a true AMG vehicle, the A45 comes with the infamous 7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT dual clutch automatic sport transmission. This transmission can literally shift faster than you can blink your eyes and allows the 375-horsepower hatchback to maintain 30 miles per gallon on the highway.
Since this is a car for adrenaline junkies and speed enthusiasts, we couldn’t leave out these important statistics. Mercedes-Benz has quoted the A45 at 4.2 seconds, which is a curious number because the Mercedes-AMG CLA45 only needs 4.1 seconds with the same engine and a bigger body.
The top speed on the 2017 Mercedes-AMG A45 4MATIC is electronically limited to 155 miles per hour, but modified versions have been known to close in on 200 miles per hour.
