Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The AMG CLA45S is defined by its 421 hp petrol powertrain, AWD and wet dual-clutch automatic. Its price is harder to ignore. At RM527,888, it costs more than the RM449,888 Hyundai Ioniq 6 N, RM343,888 Mercedes-Benz AMG A-Class Sedan and RM338,990 Audi A3 Sedan. This is a purchase for its specific petrol-AWD configuration, not its position on price.
