- It’s the comparison you’ve all been waiting for… the all-new AMG A45 S vs the old AMG A45! With a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo packed under the bonnet that can produce 415hp, the new A45 is a serious contender to be the top new hot hatch of 2019! But does it warrant the massive £50,000 price, and would you just be better off picking up a second-hand A45 instead? Stick with Mat and find out!

Wait - that's the pre-facelift A45, meaning it only has 360 hp and not 381 hp like you mentioned...
They try to make the old one look bad to advertise the new one
do me a favor and dont trust carwow!
@@justina9914 yup. Marketing... the new A45 looks nicer though tbh.
it even "only" has 360 PS, so around 355 hp if I´m right?
@Jonathan Bowen why no?
New A45S is an absolute rocket, but the old A45 sounded much better 🔥 It's sad that aftermarket exhausts are going to become a necessity for car enthusiasts in the next few years.
Blame Europe regulation
@@whosdondada Indeed EU regulations suck 👎
@@ahsokaincognito no , he is complaining about EU regulations about aftermarket exhausts
@Death Star II I live in the US and I want the EU to collapse for the benefit of all Europeans. I won't go into why since you seem like you know what's up.
Time to invest on some exhaust companies. #stonks
1. Its the pre-facelift A45... so it has 360 hp and not 381.
2. The launch control on RS3 wasnt even a launch control...
i think this one is the 2015 post facelifted A45 which had both pwer & torque increased from 360 hp & 450 Nm to 381 hp & 475Nm.
otherwise i agree with you on the second one.
@@Dolphins_are_our_Overlords you can tell from the front bumper design that it is the pre-facelift version
Constantin Habsburg-Lothringen same dude, same.......
Yeah man i am very pissed with that 😤
definitely a bad test Alexander, it's the OLD A 45 with 360 hp & 450 nm
The A45 in this video is the pre Facelift with just 360 Hp...
Correct, it's more similar to old one
Right, my words
@@rel6294 2017 A45 has 284Kw vs the 265Kw that the version he used has.
@@rel6294 stupid reasoning.
No, this is S version...
The old A45 sounds a lot better! Damn regulations :|
I agree ruins the car sound
Both are cool cars but neither sound good, It needs a 6 cyl or a V8
They've both got stupid programmed farty upshifts, and both are turbo,d 4 cylinders so don't sound great anyway. I agree though, the new one sounds muted and breathy like most new turbo cars..911, 718 etc are good examples. Meh
@@redline589 WTF V8 in a small hatchvack? are u mad bro? even I6 or V6, it just doesnt fit in the car..
But bro dis one is yellow everyone knows yellow cars are fire

The rs3 appears for 20sec of a 16min video ... and still lights up the comments 😂
Paddy Downey RS3 is the kind people get mad when people disrespect the king 😂(of the hatches)
@@spookyreaper1702 its not king lol
@@spookyreaper1702 about the same 0-60 time and better sound. That's about it for ''the king''... Weird that the ''king'' is not having the ring record for hatchbacks though. But I get you, kids do only care about making noise to get attention and straight line sprints (in a awd automatic cause that takes some serious ''skill'') But those kids don't like the corners, they might crash their ''king'' cause the ones with the biggest mouth, usually have the least skill xD

@@soundseeker63 couldnt agree more
Good observation
Gotta love my m140i thank u Jesus
Nothing wrong with FWD (or AWD), its ultimately what most people want, not some ridiculous RWD 6-cylinder hatchback thing.
Great video Matt... but where’s the one we’re dying for? New A45 vs RS3 Drag race? The suspense is killing me!
😉
woa they replied to ya
A45s vs rs3

Carwow- "I'm gonna poke it in the hole with a stick"
And we love it mate.

Idiot
Unlike bmw, they actually made a better car than their old one.
99% of the people buying the new 1 series don't even care if it is FWD or RWD. Sadly.
Wow what a bullshit
Just wait to the all new M1 with the new M2 competition engine...
@@davidcohen2137 there will be no M1, or 1M for that matter. The entire 1-series is now based on the same FWD platform as Mini cars, and it is impossible to put anything apart from inline-4 in it. So, that being said, m135 is going to be the fastest 1-series we'll see. At leas for this generation. Additionally a real 1M got replaced when M2 was released. Unfortunately for us, car guys, BMW parted ways with its' heritage and went all-in with marketing and sales.
@@davidcohen2137 the new m2 engine is a 4 cyl? ;)
Are we really going to pretend like we not seeing the old a45 in the bush at 14:27? 😂
Great video. Excellent work and fun to watch as always. Your a legend matt
The A45 looks incredible, especially in yellow. But I want to see one in Magno Grey !
Go to Autogefuhl to watch their review, it has a Magno grey one
personally i prefer the full black its a goddamn masterpiece
Matte grey looks like they forgot to put on the paint after the primer.
definitely better than new 1 series tho
@@VVENDINGEN but they look great on Mercedes
I prefer the Rs3 over all sporty hatchbacks... Just because oft the glorious 5 cyl engine sound !
Beats all the other hot hatches because of the engine, everything else has 4 cylinders :(

Best car reviews on TH-cam, love it
Thanks for bringing to us this car shows, does really helps on choice making.
There was definitely something wrong with the launch of the rs3
Tariq no, it’s just that audi is shit 😉
@@lechatnoir7001 what about Audi is shit. Sounds like you don't know much about cars
@@worlow1841 DOnt think he owns one tbh, to even know how good the launch on all aud's are! even mat said audi has the best launch control.
Didnt seem very aggressive
Looked like he eased off the brake instead of let it fly
Wait a minute... he timed the rs3 before and it did better than the merc 🤨
I think he messed up the start😬
different tarmac, different weather but in the end both of these are quick. A45 would probably do even better in different conditions
@@valentinfriedrich6428 a45s in automann channel 0-100 4.0sec. Very slow
@@lowrider69yearsago58 yes man. My grandma can do it quicker
GaminG ChanneL_AL 0-60 in 4 secs is everything but slow buddy lmao
Really like these comparison videos!
I've been waiting for this for a long time, ever since the new A35 for released!
Old a45 has 100% of the sound rating
Old sounds and looks like a lawnmower and the new is a performance lawnmower
@@rude5801 you have some brilliant sounding lawn mowers in your household then.
Brian Woods I could've bought A45s if I wanted too but I got me a Golf GTI, I don't care about the hp, i care about what I'm driving. Remember A class 15 years ago? Ugly ass mom hatch back. The Golf was and is a living king.
@@rude5801 sure you could have mate. If you got a Golf Gti it means you couldn't afford the A45, end of. Nothing good about the golf other than value for money. Even then thats only really the case with the Golf R, you of course being the clown you are opted for the worse, more expensive Golf... good job! 🤡
Brian Woods My dad is a millionaire.. my grandpa is a billionaire. I live in a mansion. Just to let you know, I had no budget limit. I chose the GTI over many cars that came into my mind. The GTI is the car that I've always loved and will love no matter what you say.
Never seen someone launch the facelift Rs3 that slow... Mercedes defiantly sponsored this video.
Did launch control actually engage? Didn't sound like it?
Its pretty obvious im pretty sure the rs3 would win in an actual race
Sponsored may be a bit far, but there has been thousands of real world RS3's timed to 60, they are all 3.7 to 3.9. At worst the RS3's is equally as fast. The inevitable 1/4 mile times will show it
Not taking credit away for this new a45s it is rapid what a car and does have more power but the rs3 is known for a rapid launch and the launch in this video wasn't really even launch at all.
Matt did 3.7 sec in RS3 some time ago, RS3 is faster than new A45s. It's funny how this video favours A45s, PFL A45 is 0.5 sec slower than 381hp facelift version. It would be closer in this video. 3.9 vs 4.1-4.2.
This show keeps getting better and better
As always Matt, superb video
That's the pre facelift model with 367hp. We not stupid. If you're gonna compare do it properly.
khing david yes, so what? He sad "the old“
Yes. The "new old 45" has 381 PS (hp). So the gap would be not that wide...
They've quoted the RS3 at 3.8s before. Audi claims it in at 4.1. so how they got 4.2 is a bit weird!
I'm not changing just yet :P
Because it's not a computer game. Perhaps an RS3 does 3.5 to 60 on a drag strip but 4.5 on a regular road. And perhaps an A45 does 4 seconds all day long on any surface. It's all irrelevant anyway.
Malc180s wrong
@Marko Beast It probably is a bit faster than an RS3 to be fair. Who cares. A couple of wankers ragging them up a inner city dual carriageway maybe... But really, it's all pretty dull.
@@out_on_bail Not really. Real life.
They also tested it in one of their videos. It did 3.7secs
New To this channel, crazy how good and professionnal the video is (good idea of making it interactive), definitely a sub
My favorite car channel and you make it so much better Matt hahaha
In his RS3 review he done 0-60 in 3.7s 🤔
Still, 0-60 in 3.9s is a madness for a 2L 4 pot 🤯
CreatureDubz sponsored review
He didn't even launch the rs3 properly
AJ Cube Nah he backed off, wasn’t like it was in the wet either smh
CreatureDubz Yeah that’s more what i meant lol, Matt is just mocking the RS3 at this point
@@Kreature303 Lol what? You cant back off of the throttle without launch control disengaging. Different conditions get different results, its why you can get a S63 getting 0-60s between 3.2 and 3.8...
I believe he deliberately picked that red pre-facelift a45 without aero pack to make the new a45s stand out, plus that old a45 seems to be in really bad shape... Taking into account the condition of brake pad, tyres, condition of the car, 4.8s isn't fair at all...
If he picked the facelift a45, that'd be a different story, the facelift should be able to do 4.2s, not to forget he mentioned he tested the facelift a45 in 4s dead when it came out years ago so I guess it's all about marketing. When a newer model comes out, they'll just make the old one looks as bad as possible...
I know the a45s is bit faster than the old stock facelift a45 but in my opinion the old a45 sounds way better....
Handson Hui so true, couldn’t agree with you more. The new A45s is about 20% dearer than the facelift 2016 A45. MB is trying to justify that by making the 45s look heaps superior than the fl A45. Tbh £50k is a bit too much of a price to pay for this car.
@@AK-qe3pz exactly mate
The new a45 he used didn’t have aero pack either? End of the day if it looks better is all a matter of opinion. I think it looks a lot better but that’s just my opinion
WTF mate I am an owner of a facelift a45 AMG 2018 "0-60 in 4s flat" an I can say it is much faster than the version 1 that he picked from 2013. I am really disappointed with the comparison you should compare it with a 2018 facelift instead with the old 2013 model I am sorry you earned dislike for it. I don't like a crappy comparison an this is completely bullshit!!!!
@@12enric totally agree... 4s is achievable in the right condition for a stock facelift A45 (2016-2018), Let's not compare the look or sound of the facelift A45 versus the new A45s. The test/number in this video is pretty inaccurate, like a rs3 should do 0-100 in sub 4s but he claimed 4.2s lol...
You do the best comparisons. What people really want to see
Really nice and useful series!
He didn't use launch control on the rs3 obviously.
Yup
GPO yeah Audi RS3 does 0-100 in 3,7 sec
Edgar Love Piano on a good day it’s even lower 😳
@@spookyreaper1702 Where do you see a stock rs3 doing 0-60 faster than 3.6 lol
@@EdgarSteinway nope that was under different conditions and also different eu regulations.
I'm a BMW fan...but Mercedes did a better job of making the new version of their hatchback
100% agree. The new 1 series is a serious wtf successor to the old model.
3D Waffle are u a real bmw fan a real one ?
@@thevinduekanayake248 Have you seen the new FWD 1 series?
Great review Matt 😊
Howdy, awesome video as always! This was very interesting and with the exception of the exhaust system, the new one is better than the old one in every way!😸😸
Please do A45s vs RS3 vs M2 competition!!!
RS3 would win!
A45 S would be second!
M2 Comp would be last!
M2 Comp all day then 5Cyl after that then A45
HONDA RULES M2 wouldn’t win in a drag race because its rear wheel drive and cant grab traction off the line!
Luke Beaston lolilol
Luke Beaston i don’t think you’ve seen all the video lol 🤣😂🙃
To all you guys complaining about the RS3 time, this is the new RS3 which has had to adhere to the new WLTP regulations. Trust us - there are no conspiracies here!! Watch out though! A video is coming soon about this...
Hard to trust mate
carwow did you do some proper drugs mate
Looking forward to that video! 👍
So because of WLTP it loses 0.5 seconds to 60? Bullshit, its a sponsored video and Merc can't stand lose to Audi
Stupid Audi fanboys lmao
Thank you for including images of the dials etc
The RS3 add was awesome thanks Matt👌
I do not agree with you in this comparison because you have to compare the new a45S with the facelift (a45 2016) not with (2014 a45), the a45 facelift has a 381 hp and has a new-looking design with new lights also has many of facelift things .. ThanX
4.2 in the RS3? that’s embarrassing Matt. Mine does 3.7 all day every day on every run. Literally no RS3 takes over 4 seconds. Something was wrong there. Can’t wait for the proper drag video where we can see the RS3 pull easily on the new A45s.
Nick S Idk which RS3 you got but every video I saw it was 4.1
Florin really? Ah this must be the new 2019 one! It’s slower because of the particulate filter. Mines a 2018....
I also thik that Audi goes under 4s every time you proper shoot it (3.8,3.7)
I agree completely! RS3 is under 4 seconds always!
Definitely agree, RS3 is a 3.7 second car.
insane that you have a drift mode on the A45 beautiful ! I still like the new A class limousine more, so I would really like to see the AMG version of it
Love the paint work on the one you were drifting with
Damn regulations, RIP pops n crackles
Wait a minute. Carwow did an RS3 review in 2017 and the car did 0-60 in 3.7 seconds... hmmmm I detect a promotion by Mercedes
Yes
Yes, and old Mercedes a45 seems more value for money compared to new one
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought something was amiss about this advert.....I mean....."review".
False, AMG said A45s 0-60 is 3.8sec
He tested the new RS3 with the new EU regulations.
Can you please make more that type of videos! I really like them.
Brilliant review matt .
Thats not the facelift from the old A45. He has only 367 Ps
It*
360*
280 kW (381 PS) W176 A45 AMG from 2015-2017
In the Video carwow showed the model from 2103-2015 before facelift and optimizing.
The new A45 is so much better than the old one (except sound). Much easier choice than the new M135.
PatrickRiccardo the new 1 series is just so fugly
Had the previous gen facelift A 45. Sound was incredible. You could hear one start from a long way. New one has better performance figures but lacks the AMG grunt.
12:10 "Hello I am ze new A45 I am a fun car to drive" with the german accent = PRICELESS
1635kg is just way too heavy for a little hatchback, that’s like 4 series hardtop convertible weight
only way to fit 4 wheel drive and a 2.0 litre
A 4 pot and a haldex do not a heavy car make
Thats how much audi a4 b8.5 2.0t with quattro torsen weights. and its much bigger car.
Kamil Bednarski and that’s a proper AWD system!
@@chrisogrady28euro 6 emission stuff and all the gadget and comfort creatures are pretty heavy. Plus it starts life as entry level hatchback without super lightweight construction and exotic materials in mind. Mercedes could give them exotic material to reduce weight but the price will be astronomical like renault megane rs trophy.
please keep doing the comparisons between old and new models, they’re very good
Thanks!
Love the new format of carwow
Great Video, greetings from Germany
Test the RS3 0-60 again. Some claim 3.7 seconds
"some" also being the most recent carwow RS3 video. I think this is more of an advertisement than a review.
He tested the new RS3 with the new EU regulations.

Great review, best one on the A45S yet! Shame it's so flipping expensive! For that money, many other options
4:11
Holy blank switches, Batman!
That’s because of missing options
Mat just makes the best car reviews👍
Have to say I think the new A45 is a smart looking car, love the colour too, though id probably not be brave enough to get one in yellow. A dark blue would look ace. Great vid 👍
Nice a change of scenery 🤩
i have the old a45 love it. very cool sound
Thank you for making the rs3 launch control slower
The old A45 is not the facelift one, it has more power makes I can makes some didifference on this test. Just to be a fair comparison to this new one.
Any way great review never the less
The wrap on the drift A45 is amazing lol
I'd really like you 😂😂😂😂 the way you producing is so good and funny 😂😂😂
10:13 if the car was mine, I would remove both quad pipes and switch to two oval pipes to make it functional.
Definitely put armytrix cat for the new one. The stock sound like old dude
After the next amg a45s releases mat says : what was wrong with me by saying that I liked it
Old but gold in sound 👍
One of ur best vids 😂
0:33 just incase you missed it.
I couldn’t help it over and over I’m stuck now
Why’s he doing that to the ash tray smh
Old one sounds so sweet with the pops/crackles 😍
That Drift King part lol!
I know right 😂
I absolutely heading into the old one cuz of the sounds and I like the analog claster
I like the old one more than the new one
Old car sounds better because it has no Petrol Particulate Filter
I cannot drive yet but I really want an A Class when I can drive. Great video Matt
Thank you so much 😘😘
Matt you should have a proper drags race with the RS3 .
Wouldn't trust him
That yellow color!!! 😍😍😘
If you had said in video description that there’s RS3 I would have watched this 2 days ago. Before I continue I must say that AMG was very quick
Yo that Tokyo drift bit gave me goosebumps
The rs3 should have done at least a 3.7-3.9 0-100km
When you said "we actually happen to have an Audi RS3", I put my burger down to give this video a like. 👏🏿
One question, are you american
Great video. I can’t afford the new one so will have to go for the older one and a remap
Great video, you are literally the only car channel to compare new hot hatches directly to the old model, and its fantastic.
However...I think you didnt launch the RS3 properly, I think in a drag race the A45S would be just a tiny bit quicker and not 0,3 sec.
But maybe Im wrong, the A45S has 21 hp more, you cant talk that away...lets wait for a dragrace :)
Exciting times. People are going to be dropping the old A45s like how Scar dropped Mufasa for the new one😁
The old one has the best exhaust system
The Drift king part killed me 🤣
