What makes the new CLA 45 different.
Three independently controlled axial-flux motors — two at the rear and one at the front — deliver up to 680 hp and 1,759 Nm of torque. Combined with the newly developed AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system, the technology allows power to be distributed precisely between the front and rear axles and individually between the rear wheels.
Performance is not only measured in horsepower. On the Nürburgring Nordschleife, the new CLA 45 completed a full lap in 7:32.070 — setting a new record in its segment.
