Mercedes presented its roper B-Segment hatchback at the Geneva Motor Show. The new Mercedes-Benz a 45 AMG is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder that, despite having a capacity of just 1,991 cc, it can provide 355HP and 450 Nm.
Also, the new model accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds and reaches an electronically restricted top speed of 250 km/h.
On the other hand, another plus is the fact that the A45 AMG has an average consumption of 6.9 lt/100 km and emits 161-165 g of CO2/km, complying with the EU6 emission standards that will come into effect in 2015.
"With the new A 45 AMG we have well and truly achieved our aim of developing the most dynamic, powerful and efficient four-cylinder series production car. With its impressive high-tech package and the performance-oriented AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive, the A 45 AMG is a thoroughbred AMG through and through", said Tobias Moers, Head of Overall Vehicle Development and Board Member of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
