Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA 45

Mercedes will build only a limited quantity of the celebratory AMG CLA45 S Final Edition, which will go on sale in early 2026.

With a range of powertrains and the option for all-wheel drive, the Mercedes-Benz CLA lineup continues to offer compact luxury styling and now starts at $45,550.

The next-generation CLA will be the first Mercedes built on an all-new platform that will eventually underpin four models: a coupe, hatchback and two SUVs.

Just 25 CLA45s bound for the U.S. will receive the Edition 1 treatment, and for fans of the color orange, it’s a pretty slick package.

Performance for the 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLA comes from a turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that now also features a 48-volt starter motor that helps transform it into a mild hybrid.

A software error affecting the backup camera display is the impetus for the latest recall from Mercedes-Benz, which affects more than 126,400 sedans, coupes, convertibles and SUVs.

Approximately 130 model-year 2015-18 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 and model-year 2017-18 Mercedes-AMG CLA45 sedans are being recalled for front passenger airbags.

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 starts at $37,645 with front-wheel drive, up a whopping $3,550 from the 2019 version, and growing the margin over the related 2020 A220 sedan to about $4,000.

Mercedes-Benz has announced an AMG CLA45 performance version of the redone 2020 CLA sedan powered by a 382-horsepower, turbo 2.0-liter engine.

Approximately 470 model-year 2018-19 Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-AMG 
 sedans, coupes and convertibles are being recalled.
