Following on from the A 45 AMG Edition 1, Mercedes-Benz has applied the same treatment to its feisty sibling, the CLA 45 AMG.

Visually the Edition 1 receives a more aggressive aero package comprising of additional flics in the front fascia, a larger front splitter and trunk lid spoiler. Other telltale features include matte graphite grey AMG side stripes, red accents on the headlamps, radiator grille and exterior mirrors, and a set of 19-inch multi-spoke AMG wheels in matte black.

Moving inside, the AMG Performance seats are trimmed in Artico man-made leather and Dinamica microfibre with red elements. The door panels and dashboard are also covered in Artico, while the steering wheel is treated to Nappa leather and Dinamica. Finishing touches include ‘Edition 1’ badging on the centre console and AMG floor mats.

Beaneath the hood the engine remains untouched, meaning 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged unit developing 265 kW (360 hp) and 450 Nm of torque mated to the company’s AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive system and seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. On the road 100 km/h happens in less than five seconds, with top speed limited to 250 km/h.
