2024 Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 S review in Malaysia - The Apex Predator (C63 Dethroned…)

- With all the others getting bigger, heavier, the CLA 45 S is possibly the best AMG saloon car out there right now (technically they call it a 4-door coupe but whatever), remaining driver-focused, ferocious and unrelenting with a few twists of its drive mode switch. And even better, it’s one of the least expensive from the Affalterbach stable, discounting the not-quite-legit '35 series'.
This is in stark contrast to the new C63, which now weighs over 2 tonnes, costs more than double here, and features the same 2.0-litre heavily turbocharged engine as this top dog CLA, albeit assisted with electric motors and a lithium battery, hence extra power but also the significant weight penalty.
So, if you want an enthusiast AMG with four-doors? You'll get more for less with the CLA 45 S. Interesting strategy from the Germans.

I have had this car for 4 months I’m in love driving it constantly. Super power, amazing control and grip. Got it for a steal price!
do you buy new or 2nd? I'm mulling new because I'm worried about service an warranty. I'm not sure how good the official workshops are or 3rd party.
So much incredible useful information you don’t hear anywhere else. Thank you
Best presenter in the whole SEA.
OMG 🤯 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Beg to differ; no offence intended.
@@Clinton325i no prob brother we all have different tastes. The car hobby would be boring if everyone was the same!
@@shopeeseller am glad we are on the same page then!
This is the best review of this model that I've seen
Thank you!
Love this guy.. probably best malaysian car reviewer, fluent ❤
I came back several times not just for the gorgeous car but also the equally gorgeous description.
Great to see another CLA45s have the same engine builder as my own for the first time! 🥂
Fabrizio strikes again! (also apologies to Mr Rosati for presenter messing up your name 🫡)
bros got humour 😂
Awesome video and great analysis of the AMG models! You pegged the pros/cons of each. I bought a GLE63s and it's incredible but just makes you lust after something more "toss able". I made the "mistake" of taking advantage of that free day at the AMG Experience where I discovered the CLA45s. I haven't had so much fun in a car since my first car a Datsun510, the Grandaddy of tossable cars. So now it looks like we will be having a GLE and a couple CLA45s' in the garage...I made the extra "mistake" of taking my Grandson along with me so he has to have one too...:)
His excitement shows it all..how the car is performing and really manage to win him🤟🏻✨🌟
The CLA 45 is the most power in the least heavy package from AMG, and also happens to be the best looking (for a 4-door) 😀 hard not to love it
amazing review bro! 🎉🎉
i have this car. its crazy af.
When You Turn To Race Mode...Do The Suspensions Auto Change For Synchronisation????
🤔
Agreed. Also, I couldn’t afford $100K +. But I could afford this. Mine is exact same spec except grey calipers (even less overstated)
The black looks menacing. I bet it looks good with the grey calipers!
Impressive review again Jim Kem
Thank you Dr Nick! 🙏🏼
This video made me subscribe carlist..entertaining review
compared to c43 is the money really worth it because it's only 10-15 hp diferrence
Yeah I heard Fabrizio Romano here we go
6:59 i think it doesn't hold his IPHONE well guys
yeah b-roll was a vivo x90 all up in there 😅 (which also didn’t charge half the time)
i would buy that over the new c63 and the new 3 53
bang, nak tanye, bayar bulanan berape? kalau gaji 3k bole ke?
Confirm tk cukup la weh😂
Hahaha.. bodoh la kau nih komen buat aq ketawa 😂😂
Very very good presentation and presenter! Thank you 🎉🎉🎉
when shorty talks lol
Great presenter!
Huyooo
fuh 🎉..first time seeing a good mercedes car as bmw..the design in and ex + a good steering shape, the no judgement back seat, the black sweet back spoiler, the sufficient sports look driver seat, the new wider front grill, good front signal light, all as good as bmw mighty M340i !🫡.
2l vs straight 6... if you want speed get a tesla 3 performance or byd seal. If it's a sports ice car with 4 doors, can't get much better value for money than m340i.
Tbh if we had a choice between this CLA45 or a M140i, we’d probably pick the BMW (sadly never sold in Malaysia).
AMG C43 or M340i? Same, BMW. That straight-6 is a deal maker.
@@carlist_my hi. I also confuse which one to choose C43 or 340i. I know the different will be the cylinder. But right now C43 have RM 40k rebate. But i already test drive C43. Its so powerful and comfort too. Can u suggest to me. What benefit of C43 and 340i . Really2 confuse
