The All-New 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG Press Information



'Driving Performance' at its Best



March 27, 2013



MONTVALE, NJ – Mercedes-Benz AMG will celebrate its world debut of the

2014 model year CLA45 AMG at the New York International Auto Show. The

four-door coupe follows in the design footsteps of the successful CLS63

AMG, the trendsetter for four-door high-performance coupes. With a

maximum power output of 355 hp and a peak torque of 332 lb.-ft., the 2014

CLA45 AMG is the world's most powerful four-cylinder engine built in

series production. The performance-oriented AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive

on the CLA45 AMG sets new standards in the competitive segment as well.

The 2014 CLA45 AMG goes on sale in the U.S. this November.



Ola Källenius, CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH: "In the CLA45 AMG,

Mercedes-AMG presents a unique and absolutely desirable automobile with

the characteristic AMG genes. The high-tech package with the world's most

powerful four-cylinder production engine and performance-oriented AMG

4MATIC all-wheel drive stands for 'Driving Performance' at its best."

Mercedes-Benz AMG establishes a new segment with the exciting new four-door

performance coupe CLA45 AMG -

Pure AMG: the most powerful four-cylinder production engine in the world



The 2014 CLA45 AMG 2.0-liter turbo engine is the most powerful turbocharged

four-cylinder production engine with a maximum power output of 355 hp and a

peak torque of 332 lb.-ft. of torque.



The combination of high power, strong torque and performance-oriented

AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive lend the CLA45 AMG superb driving

performance. The powerful coupe sprints from 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. Top speed

is electronically limited to 155 mph. Mercedes-AMG achieves these impressive

figures by the use of high-tech engineering throughout the engine and related

systems. The combination of multiple injection and multiple spark ignition

improves fuel utilization and substantially increases thermodynamic efficiency,

leading to low exhaust emissions. Other highlights include the sand-cast all-

aluminum crankcase, weight-optimized crank assembly with forged steel

crankshaft and forged pistons with friction-optimized piston rings, NANOSLIDE

cylinder lining technology, water-to-air intercooling, alternator management

and ECO Start/Stop function.



Twin-scroll turbochargers and AMG sports exhaust system with butterfly valve



Mercedes-AMG masters the essential challenges concerning the response of

small-displacement turbo engines by means of a twin-scroll turbocharger,

minimized restrictions in the exhaust system and an innovative injection

strategy. The twin-scroll technology makes effective use of exhaust gas back

pressure, temperature and momentum to provide a more spontaneous build-up

of boost pressure. This results in a quicker build-up of torque from low revs. As

a positive side effect, the twin-scroll technology also benefits fuel consumption

and exhaust emissions. With a maximum boost pressure of 26.1 psi (1.8 bar),

the AMG 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine also leads the field in this respect.



The AMG performance exhaust system features large pipe cross-sections and

an automatically controlled butterfly valve in the exhaust system. This

technology, which is familiar from the SLK55 AMG, allows the CLA45 to deliver

a commanding roar on acceleration while also offering a refined note during

sustained speed, such as on the highway. The valve is continuously adjusted by

the engine mapping in line with the accelerator input, load status and engine

speed.



It provides for an even more emotional and striking exhaust note when the

throttle is open and when shifting gears. The rev-matching function during

downshifts and the suppression of ignition and injection during upshifts under

full load produce a particularly powerful sound with the AMG Performance

exhaust system creates a level of emotion that is typically reserved for engines

with more than four cylinders.



High-performance cooling system with components from the SLS AMG GT



The high level of driving dynamics of the 2014 CLA45 AMG call for a highly

effective cooling system. Similar to the technology of the SLS AMG GT, a low-

temperature circuit is additionally installed for water-to-air intercooling of the

charge air of the four-cylinder turbo engine. The large radiator at the very front

of the cooling module is supplemented by an additional radiator in the wheel

well. A high-performance electric pump provides the required flow through the

water radiators located behind the large intake ports and the intercooler

connected in line. This provides ideal cooling of the highly compressed charge

air, thereby contributing towards optimum engine performance.



Cooling of the transmission oil is integrated into the hot-water cooling circuit of

the engine. The radiator positioned behind the front fascia is supported by the

heat exchanger, which is fitted directly on the transmission and supplied with

cooling water as required by means of an auxiliary pump.



"One man, one engine": engine production the traditional artisan way



Like all eight- and twelve-cylinder engines, the new AMG 2.0-liter four-cylinder

turbo engine is also hand-built according to the traditional AMG philosophy of

"one man, one engine." An exclusive assembly line has been set up for the new

AMG engine at the Mercedes-Benz engine production plant in Kölleda,

Germany. A characteristic feature of the "one man, one engine" production

process is the AMG engine plate bearing the signature of the responsible

engine fitter. Apart from serving as an AMG hallmark confirming superlative

production quality, the AMG engine plate also attests to the peerless genes of

the Mercedes-Benz high-performance brand.



AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-Speed sports transmission



Dual clutch transmission and all-wheel drive – the drive train on board the

CLA45 AMG is a demonstration of high-end engineering prowess. The AMG

SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-Speed sports transmission is mounted directly to the

transversely installed AMG 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine. The dual clutch

transmission of the CLA45 AMG features seven gears, three driving programs,

a rev-matching function and RACE START for optimum acceleration. The

highlights of the AMG DCT sports transmission include spontaneous gearshifts

without interruption in tractive power, a tailor-made control strategy,

extremely smooth and easy gearshifts and a high level of efficiency. Reinforced

gears ensure maximum durability. Synchronizer rings with carbon-fiber

friction linings improve longevity while also optimizing response during

manual gearshifts – the ideal situation for ambitious lap times on a closed

circuit.



"Momentary M mode" for even greater dynamics and driving pleasure



Another special feature designed to enhance dynamic performance and driving

pleasure is the so-called "Momentary M" program. In C and S mode, this

enables the driver to activate manual mode ("M") without having to remove a

hand from the steering wheel by pressing the "up" or "down" shift paddle once.

In "Momentary M" mode, the driver experiences the dynamics and

performance in all automatic driving programs, with automatic upshifts upon

reaching the rev limit. This allows the driver to devote his full attention to the

vehicle's impressive performance.



The shift times in manual mode "M" and in sport mode "S" are of similar sporty

character as those of the SLS AMG GT super sports car. Brief and precise

suppression of ignition and injection under full load leads to even faster

gearshifts with a more emotional sound than ever. In "C" mode (Controlled

Efficiency), soft transmission and engine characteristics are conducive to a

fuel-efficient and comfort-oriented driving style. In addition, the ECO Start/Stop

function is active in "C" mode.



Performance-oriented AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive



The 2014 CLA45 AMG features variable AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive as

standard. In developing this all-wheel-drive system, the focus was on

"performance" and "dynamic spirit." The power transfer to the rear drive train

is facilitated by a compact power take-off unit (PTU), which is fully integrated

into the 7-speed sports transmission. Its lubrication is supplied by the oil

circuit of the sports transmission. This configuration results in substantial

weight advantages compared with rival systems, which branch off power by

means of an add-on component with dedicated circuit. Together with the

friction-minimized tapered roller bearings, the PTU delivers excellent

efficiency. As an additional bonus, the system weight of the new AMG 4MATIC

all-wheel drive is up to 25 percent less than the all-wheel-drive versions offered

by the competition.



A two-part propeller shaft transfers the power of the AMG 2.0-liter four-

cylinder turbo engine to the rear axle. In the interests of favorable weight

distribution, an electrohydraulically controlled multi-disc clutch is integrated

into the rear axle differential. The multi-disc clutch immediately detects slip at

the front axle. A hydraulic pump instantaneously presses the discs together

and channels the engine torque to the rear wheels as necessary. All this takes

place virtually unnoticed by the driver. To enable particularly fast response,

the pump is always active and does not require to be started up each time it is

needed, as is usually the case with other systems. Torque split is fully variable:

in normal driving, the CLA45 AMG has front-wheel drive bias in the interests

of optimum efficiency. If the driving dynamics require, the variable AMG

4MATIC all-wheel drive splits the torque between front and rear axle at a ratio

of up to 50 : 50 percent. The variables influencing the torque split ratio are

vehicle speed, lateral and longitudinal acceleration, steering angle, speed

difference between the individual wheels, selected gear and accelerator

position.



3-stage ESP® with ESP® Curve Dynamic Assist



An exclusive feature is the interaction of the AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive with

the 3-stage ESP® and ESP® Curve Dynamic Assist. The three ESP® stages

enable the driver to vary the dynamics of the CLA45 AMG according to his/her

individual preferences at the push of a button. The safety-oriented "ESP ON"

mode supports the driver in maintaining neutral handling characteristics. The

system initiates braking intervention on one or more wheels and reduces the

engine torque on detecting the onset of unstable driving conditions.



Briefly pressing the ESP® button activates "SPORT Handling" mode. This

dynamically oriented driving mode applies appropriate control strategies for

delayed ESP® intervention and increased torque at the rear axle. This means Page 6

more driving pleasure for drivers who are keen to exploit the vehicle's dynamic

potential. Pressing and holding the ESP® button activates "ESP OFF" mode. In

this mode, the ESP® functions are not available. ESP OFF should only be used by

experienced drivers on closed circuits. However, when the driver steps on the

brake pedal in "SPORT Handling" or "ESP OFF" mode, all safety functions of the

ESP® system are available for the duration of the brake application.



ESP® Curve Dynamic Assist complements the ESP® system to perfection:

during dynamic cornering, imperceptible brake intervention on an inside

wheel vectors torque to create a defined yaw movement around the vertical

axis, resulting in precise and safe turn-in of the CLA45 AMG. ESP® Curve

Dynamic Assist is adapted according to the selected ESP® mode. In "SPORT

Handling" and "ESP OFF" mode it aids in fulfilling the driver's wish for

increased agility and driving dynamics. ESP® Curve Dynamic Assist is an

additional function of the Electronic Stability Program which noticeably

improves not only agility, but also active driving safety at the limits of the laws

of physics.



AMG sports suspension with multi-link front and rear axles



Like every AMG high-performance automobile, the CLA45 AMG also

incorporates sophisticated axle technology. For enhanced driving dynamics,

the three-link front suspension is provided with stiffer steering knuckles and

totally new elastokinematics. Newly developed, more rigid bearings are

employed in the lower link plane. These ensure more agile turn-in properties

and more precise and direct feedback from the road surface. The more rigid

bearings also lead to higher camber stability, allowing higher cornering speeds.

In developing the complete front axle, great importance has been attached to

attaining the best possible traction under highly dynamic driving conditions.



The four-link rear axle of the CLA45 AMG is also a totally new development. In

the course of optimizing the elastokinematics, the strut bearings were modified

for maximum driving dynamics and control. The rear axle carrier is fitted with

more rigid bearings for increased directional stability; the subframe is rigidly

bolted to the body. The AMG sports suspension with its specifically tuned

spring/damper units and larger stabilizers ensures high lateral acceleration

and a reduced body rolling tendency in fast S-bends. The CLA45 AMG comes

standard with twin-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels inlayed in titanium gray with

a high-sheen finish, fitted with size 235/40 R 18 tires.



AMG speed-sensitive sports steering and AMG high-performance braking system



The electromechanical dual pinion AMG speed-sensitive sports steering with

AMG-specific, speed-dependent power assist and a constant steering ratio



(14.5 : 1) enables high steering precision and agility. The electric motor is

installed in space-saving configuration on the steering gear. The AMG

high-performance braking system with ventilated and perforated front

and rear brake discs measuring 13.8" x 1.2" at the front and 13.0" x 0.8" at the

rear provides spontaneous and reliable deceleration.

Unmistakable design



The new CLA45 AMG leaves no doubt even at first glance; similarities with the

CLS63 AMG are intentional. Mercedes-AMG complements the expressive

design idiom with distinctive AMG elements and thus creates a new design

icon. The CLA was born with sporty proportions – the AMG "twin blade"

radiator grille and the cross member in the AMG front fascia, both painted

matte titanium gray, reinforce the dynamic appearance further. The large air

inlet ports on the sides are framed by black winglets and improve the air flow

to the cooling modules located behind them. Bi-xenon headlights are part of the

standard equipment.



Side sill panels with matte titanium gray inserts catch the eye in the side view.

Typical elements of a powerful top-of-the-line AMG model furthermore are the

twin-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels, inlayed in titanium gray and with a high-

sheen finish, as well as the "TURBO AMG" lettering on the fender. The

expressive feature in the rear is the AMG rear fascia of the CLA45 AMG. It

includes stylized side air vents as well as a large diffuser insert and matte

titanium gray trim elements. The two chrome-plated tailpipes of the AMG

exhaust system with butterfly valve emphasize the dynamic spirit. The striking

LED tail lights come as standard equipment.



Dynamic, exclusive and high-quality interior



Impressive quality, high-end materials as well as the dynamic spirit and

exclusive character typical of Mercedes-AMG – the interior of the CLA45 AMG

leaves nothing to be desired. Sport seats wrapped in ARTICO man-made leather

and DINAMICA microfibers with red contrasting topstitching, red seat belts,

the multifunction steering wheel with shift paddles, the AMG DRIVE UNIT and

front AMG door sill panels all come as standard. The brushed aluminum trim of

the instrument panel is perfectly matched to the five anodized ventilation

nozzles. The AMG instrument cluster provides information with a central color

display, the AMG main menu and the RACETIMER.



Numerous customization options are available for the CLA45 AMG (highlights):



AMG Exterior Carbon-Fiber package: front splitter, side sill panel inserts

and trim on rear fascia in genuine carbon fiber



AMG carbon-fiber interior trim



Multi-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels in size 8.0J x 19 fitted with size

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):



Why did Mercedes-Benz develop the CLA? To attract new customers with a significant and stylish 4door coupe that meets the needs of today's urban and suburban luxury customer. We want to attract these groups to the brand because we feel they have never considered Mercedes-Benz in the past.



What is the base price that was advertised during the 2013 Super Bowl? USD $29,900 excluding the model year 2014 destination charge of $925 (MY13 is $905). The MSRP for the CLA45 AMG is $47,450 (excluding MY14 D&D $925).



Doesn't a smaller and less expensive car dilute the Mercedes-Benz brand? The Mercedes-Benz

brand has never been positioned higher than it has today, with more cars in more segments vs. our competitors that are priced over USD $100k and even $200k. We believe that the brand's strengths allow it to also expand toward younger and younger-at-heart customers who may never have considered Mercedes-Benz in the past.



The CLA seems to overlap C-Class in size and price territory – how does this affect the

positioning? The CLA actually is positioned differently than the C-Class and costs nearly $5,500 less than the C250 sedan (which starts at $35,325). The CLA has a clear and sporty point of view as the smaller sibling of the CLS 4-door coupe, with key elements including a distinctive and eye-catching exterior, sporty handling, sporty interior content such as standard sport seats and overall environment that is exciting and fun to drive, overall authenticity, and a having connectivity such as mbrace2. Finally, the CLA has a very honest pricing structure that has a much smaller bandwidth of possible options with a typical equipment level of around USD $35,000.



It doesn't seem possible that you are earning money with the CLA250 – how is it possible to

achieve a price of USD $29,900 excluding destination charge of $925 (for MY2014). The business case for the CLA is positive globally (including the USA) mostly because of economies of scale for the NGCC ('New Generation Compact Cars') platform: we have five cars based on this platform with a high corresponding overall volume. Furthermore it was designed to only have four-cylinder engines (instead of C-Class's 4 cyl, V6 or AMG V8 offerings), making crashworthiness development simpler and more efficient. The car is also produced in Hungary, which also further helps making the price proposition positive.



What do you consider as success for the CLA and what are your projected sales numbers? We

consider the CLA a success if it is accepted by the intended customers that are younger and younger-at-heart. While we don't share projected sales goals, we believe we have a simple yet effective lineup of CLA250, CLA250 4MATIC, and CLA45 AMG that will capture many hearts and minds.



Will there be an AMG model and when does it debut? We are pleased that the CLA45 AMG will

have made its world auto show debut in New York in March 2013. Its features include standard

4MATIC all-wheel drive, 355 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque. Its interior craftsmanship is significant,

including very effective sport seats. The CLA45 AMG is expected to go on sale in November 2013 with an MSRP of $47,450 (excluding MY14 D&D $925).



What are the top 5 features of the CLA? (1) Distinctive and sporty exterior design, (2) authentic

Mercedes-Benz interior that uses standard sport seats and dashboard elements from the SL and SLS AMG sports cars, (3) double-clutch transmission for seamless and sporty shifting either via shift paddles or normal driving, (4) Direct steer and standard sport suspension on all models that offers very responsive handling, and (5) start/stop – Mercedes-Benz sells more cars with start/stop than any other brand that sells cars in the USA – not only is it the most seamless system, but it also reduces C02 and has intuitive programming. Do we want to mention the Collision Prevention Assist here...? Think that's also quite significant.



What will be the typically-equipped price of the CLA250 vs. the base price of $29, 900 and how

expensive can it get (what is the overall price range)? While package pricing hasn't yet been

finalized, the following packages and standalone options will comprise of typical equipment:



-Premium Package with heated front seats, iPod interface, satellite radio, etc.

-Panoramic Sunroof



Will the standard CLA250 come with contrasting stitching on the interior dashboard and door

trim? This feature is part of a very reasonable leather package option, and the standard car has very high grade materials as well.
