Mercedes -Benz CLA 45 AMG spotted in Mumbai

The Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG sedan has been spotted in Mumbai. While it is difficult to say whether this is a display car or a privately owned vehicle, we might recall that Mercedes-Benz displayed the model at the 2014 Auto Expo, earlier this year. The company hinted then, that it would launch the car in India in the third or fourth quarter of 2014.

The CLA 45 AMG is powered by a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder, turbocharged, petrol engine that produces a 360 hp and 450 Nm of torque, which the company claims can propel the car from 0 to 100 kph in 4.5 seconds and a limited top speed of 250 kph. The car has an AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission and a 4MATIC all-wheel drive system.

To distinguish the CLA 45 AMG from the regular CLA, Mercedes has given it different bumpers, grille, wheels and badging. Coming to the interior there is an AMG steering wheel, instrument cluster and racing seats. Additionally, the CLA 45 AMG is loaded with equipment and safety & drive assist features.

The CLA 45 AMG could be the most affordable Mercedes-Benz AMG model when it goes on sale in India.
