Mercedes-AMG A 45 S Final Edition: The Ultimate Hot Hatch
Mercedes-AMG marks a strong send-off for the A 45 S 4MATIC+ with its expressive "Final Edition" special model. This limited edition combines uncompromising dynamics with unmistakable design, and customers in the UK can now order it for £67,965.
Since launch, the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S 4MATIC+ has delighted drivers and enthusiasts worldwide as the ultimate hot hatch. Its M139 engine sets the benchmark for performance in the compact segment, and it remains the world's most powerful series-production four-cylinder turbocharged engine.
Mercedes-AMG A 45 S 4MATIC+: combined energy consumption 9.2-9.0 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions 209-205 g/km; CO₂ class G2.
MANUFAKTUR mountain grey magno paint gives the "Final Edition" a bold finish, and Dark Chrome door handles add a further premium touch. Matte-black 19-inch AMG forged wheels in a cross-spoke design create a striking impression, while edition-specific wheel hub covers display the AMG logo in yellow. Gloss black brake callipers with white "AMG" lettering match the wheel colour on the AMG high-performance braking system. A silver chrome fuel filler cap with "AMG" lettering and black design elements further refines the exterior. Large yellow-and-black "45 S" lettering with a white outline decorates the front doors, and AMG-specific black diamond-pattern mirror caps with a yellow outline complete the look. Further yellow accents round off the striking design.
The AMG Night Package brings high-gloss black exterior elements, including the mirror housings and trim strips, and these blend seamlessly with the dark chrome-plated tailpipe trims. The "Final Edition" also includes AMG Night Package II, which adds high-quality design details such as the radiator grille louvres and Dark Chrome model badges.
The AMG Aerodynamics Package sharpens the "Final Edition" appearance even further. Engineers developed each component in the wind tunnel to deliver a genuine racetrack look and improve high-speed stability. The package includes a front apron with an enlarged front splitter and additional high-gloss black flicks, a high-gloss black roof spoiler, high-gloss black lateral airflow separation edges around the rear apron's visual air outlets, and a high-gloss black diffuser blade.
Yellow accents also define the "Final Edition" interior. AMG Performance seats combine ARTICO man-made leather with MICROCUT microfibre in black, and yellow contrasting topstitching on the seats and door panels adds expressive detail, as do the embroidered "45 S" emblems on the front head restraints. A "45 S Final Edition" emblem on the centre console underlines the model's exclusive character.
Further interior details include the AMG Performance steering wheel in nappa leather and MICROCUT microfibre with yellow decorative stitching, alongside aluminium trim elements featuring the AMG pattern and yellow AMG lettering. Black AMG door sill panels in an AMG pattern design with a yellow illuminated AMG logo demonstrate close attention to detail, and AMG floor mats with "45 S" lettering and yellow decorative stitching complete the interior upgrades.
The A 45 S 4MATIC+ has built a loyal fan base thanks to its high-performance four-cylinder engine, intelligent all-wheel drive, sports-car dynamics and distinctive AMG design. Engineers assemble its 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engine in the Affalterbach engine manufactory according to the "One Man, One Engine" principle, and it produces 310 kW (421 hp). The compact performance car sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, and an electronic limiter caps top speed at 270 km/h. Beyond these performance figures, the four-cylinder turbo engine impresses with immediate response and a high maximum torque of 500 Nm.
The AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT-8G eight-speed dual-clutch transmission delivers seamless power in every driving situation and enables lightning-fast gear changes. The fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, with AMG TORQUE CONTROL selectively distributing drive power between the rear wheels, also plays a decisive role in the dynamic driving experience.
