Mercedes-AMG CLA 45: 680HP Electric Sedan with 670km Range
Mercedes-AMG CLA 45: 680HP Electric Sedan with 670km Range marks a revolutionary departure for the brand. Mercedes-AMG has unveiled the new-generation CLA 45 4MATIC+, which is now fully electric instead of using a turbocharged petrol engine. Available in sedan and Shooting Brake body styles, this performance EV packs a 94 kWh LFP battery and three electric motors—one front and two rear. It produces a peak output of 680 HP and 1759 Nm of torque, with a continuous output of 612 HP.
The Mercedes-AMG CLA 45: 680HP Electric Sedan with 670km Range can disengage its front motor during steady driving to improve efficiency, operating in rear-wheel-drive mode. The dual rear motors enable torque vectoring and a dedicated Drift Mode. Despite weighing nearly 2.3 tonnes, the sedan accelerates from 0-100 km/hr in 3.0 seconds, while the Shooting Brake does it in 3.2 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/hr, extendable to 270 km/hr with the optional AMG Dynamic Plus Package.
This Mercedes-AMG CLA 45: 680HP Electric Sedan with 670km Range also features adaptive sports suspension and seven selectable driving modes. To retain combustion engine character, the AMGFORCE S+ mode recreates the sound of the M139 turbocharged four-cylinder engine and simulates gear shifts. The sedan offers a WLTP range of up to 670 km, while the Shooting Brake rates 640 km. It supports 330 kW DC fast charging, achieving a 10-80 percent charge in about 22 minutes, and a 10-minute charge adds up to 270 km.
Visually, the AMG variant gets a redesigned front fascia with a 10-slat grille, larger air intakes, wider wheel arches, and a more prominent rear diffuser. Inside, the cabin features AMG bucket seats, a sport steering wheel with drive mode controls, and the Hyperscreen setup with a digital instrument cluster, central touchscreen, and passenger display. The Mercedes-AMG CLA 45: 680HP Electric Sedan with 670km Range represents a bold new chapter for AMG, blending high performance, extensive range, and advanced electric technology into a compelling package for enthusiasts.
