    Mercedes-AMG A45 Review, For Sale, Specs, Colours & Models in Australia

    The Mercedes-AMG A45 is the high-performance hatch and flag(rocket)ship of the A-Class range.

    When this A45 originally launched in 2013 it had Mercedes-AMG's first four cylinder engine but with an incredible 265kW it was also the world’s most powerful four cylinder.

    Today the A45 makes a ridiculous 310kW, has all-wheel drive and a 0-100km/h time of 3.9 seconds.

    The line-up currently starts at $121,000 for the A-Class A45 S 4Matic+ and ranges through to $121,000 for the range-topping A-Class A45 S 4Matic+.

    Mercedes-AMG A45 Q&As

    Check out real-world situations relating to the Mercedes-AMG A45 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

    • Luxury replacement for a Mazda 3

      Your choices both get The Tick, but the Benz A250 might be too sporty for a retirement car and the A3 is an upscale Volkswagen Golf. A good mate has just bought an Accord Euro and, even though it goes out of production soon, he loves it. You should test-drive all three.

    • BMW and Porsche Australian pricing?

      It's a two-way street, not straight profiteering, as Mercedes-Benz Australia is accelerating the value of its cars in a way that's paying off mightily for buyers and undermining rival brands.

      Show more
    • Should I buy a Mercedes-Benz C63?

      I'd go for the 507 every time. It gets The Tick in a big way and is even more fun than an A45. The biggest cost will be rear tyres.
