Unmistakable, sporty, emotive – the fascinating design of the A 45 AMG leaves a lasting impression. The A 45 AMG powerful high-performance compact car impresses with its new dynamic style which attractively combines sculptural forms with AMG’s hallmark muscular features. The front section displays a typically athletic AMG style, with the “twin blade” radiator grille encompassing the central Mercedes star. Three large openings in the front fascia ensure an effective flow of air to the cooling modules; the outer black flics further optimise the air ducting. A distinctive front splitter is situated at the bottom end of the central cooling air opening. Like the twin-blade radiator grille, it is painted matt titanium grey. Standard equipment includes bi-xenon headlamps.
In the side view, the feature lines blend perfectly with the side sill panels and the inserts in matt titanium grey. The “TURBO AMG” lettering on the wing is a further distinguishing feature. There is a choice of three different AMG alloy-wheel designs for the A 45 AMG: AMG five-twin-spoke alloy wheels painted titanium grey with a high-sheen finish fitted as standard. The 8 x 18 wheels are fitted with
235/40 R 18 tyres all round. Alternative designs include the optional
8 x 19 AMG multi-spoke alloy wheels with 235/35 R 19 tyres. As well as being available in titanium grey with a high-sheen finish, the AMG alloy wheels can also be ordered in matt black with a high-sheen rim flange.
The dynamic styling of the front and side design is also clearly reflected at the rear end. The rear fascia with its stylised vertical side air outlet openings and the large diffuser insert are eye-catching features here. At the lower end, the matt titanium grey trim provides another stand-out feature. The AMG sports exhaust system with exhaust flap features two chrome-plated rectangular tailpipe trims on the A 45 AMG.
High-class, sporty interior
Dynamic spirit and exclusivity are likewise dominant themes in the interior of the A 45 AMG. On opening the doors, the driver is greeted by the AMG start-up screen on the centrally positioned TFT colour display. The sporty instrument cluster features black, round dials, carbon-fibre design, silver/red needles and a 320-km/h speedometer scale. There is an AMG logo on the rev counter.
The A 45 AMG exudes high-class appeal thanks to the use of high-grade materials and AMG’s hallmark main menu in the central display. Called up at the push of a button on the multifunction steering wheel, this central display provides the driver with information using three modes: “Warm Up” indicates the engine oil, coolant and transmission oil temperatures; “Set Up” indicates the current ESP® mode and the transmission mode (“C”, “S” or “M”); the “RACE” menu includes the RACETIMER, which the driver can use to record lap times on a cordoned-off racetrack. The permanent gear indicator in “M” mode helps when a sporty driving style is adopted. When approaching the red zone, the gear indicator turns red, flanked by a red “up” – this is a reminder for the driver to change gear. The separate gear indicator above the central display is an additional source of information for the driver: it includes a clear gearshift recommendation with a coloured arrow symbol, thus helping to save fuel.
AMG Performance seats with optimised lateral support as an optional extra
In the A 45 AMG, the instrument panel trim has a carbon-fibre look with five ventilation outlets in black/red. Sports seats in ARTICO man-made leather/DINAMICA microfibre, red contrasting topstitching and red seat belts are standard in this high-performance car. AMG Performance seats are available as an optional extra. Featuring AMG badges in the backrests and integrated belt guides in black or optionally silver chrome, they provide even better lateral support when adopting a sporty driving style. The AMG Performance seats can be enhanced by adding optional electrical seat adjustment including a memory function and multicontour function. In this case, the side bolsters of the seat cushion and backrest can be individually adjusted to suit the stature of the driver and front passenger at the push of a button, thus further optimising lateral support.
The A 45 AMG has the option of leather upholstery in black, crystal grey or nut brown. A particularly sporty touch is provided by the RED CUT perforated black leather appointments, which are part of the AMG Exclusive package.
AMG DRIVE UNIT and E-SELECT lever as standard
The AMG DRIVE UNIT in the centre console includes the selector lever with “C/S/M” button for the transmission modes. The multifunction sports leather steering wheel features red contrasting topstitching, a flattened bottom section, black shift paddles and a perforated grip area. An AMG performance steering wheel is available as an optional extra. It is also flattened at the top and has aluminium shift paddles along with a grip area in DINAMICA microfibre.
