Mercedes-Benz is all set to make its entry into the volume segment of the performance car market with its new Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG. The CLA45 will not only be the cheapest AMG one can buy in India, it will also be one of the most technically advanced cars that AMG will be able to deliver in India.

The CLA45, unlike all the other AMG offerings, does not feature a large and bulky V8 engine. Instead, a streamlined and athletic 2.0-litre, twin-turbocharged, 4-cylinder engine will power the 4-door coupé. With the CLA45’s engine making 360PS of peak power and 450Nm of peak torque, mated to an all-wheel-drive (or 4-Matic, as Mercedes calls it) system, the car also promises to be easy to drive while still managing to be quick. The Mercedes-Benz CLA45 can sprint from 0-60 in a mere 4.6-seconds and on to a limited top speed of 250kmph.

The newly launched AMG centers in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore will cater to a new and younger generation of AMG clientele interested in the CLA45 AMG, which is expected to be priced at about Rs 60-70 lakh. As we reported a few weeks ago, dealers have stated taking bookings for the Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG for a token amount of Rs 1 lakh with the first subsequent deliveries planned around August.

The CLA45 will not only take on the likes of the Audi S4 in terms of performance but will also go up against the likes of the luxury saloons and SUVs in the same price range. While the more mature buyer would opt for a full sized, top of the line E-Class or ML-Class, the younger, more dynamic buyer is certainly going to choose the CLA45 AMG based on the styling alone.
