Overview
- The CLA 45, revealed in early July, replaces the turbocharged 2.0‑litre AMG compact and uses a three‑motor layout that produces about 500 kW (680 PS).
- A 94 kWh usable battery and 800‑volt electrical architecture enable up to 330 kW peak DC charging, 10–80% charging in roughly 22 minutes, and a claimed 270 km of range from ten minutes of charging.
- Manufacturers quote WLTP ranges of roughly 670 km for the four‑door limousine and just over 640 km for the Shooting Brake while curb weight rises to about 2,280–2,295 kg.
- AMG adds simulated combustion sound, virtual shift events and seat shakers to recreate the brand's sensory cues and offers multiple drive modes including track‑oriented settings and torque‑vectoring control from the rear motors.
- Final pricing and exact market start are not yet published; journalists estimate a launch window in 2026–2027 with entry prices likely in the mid‑€60,000s to just under €70,000 and further trim details still pending.
