The interior of the “Limited Edition” is also distinctively designed: the AMG performance seats are covered in black with a combination of ARTICO man-made leather and MICROCUT microfibre. Yellow decorative stitching in the seats, door panels and instrument panel create attractive contrasts. This also applies to the embroidered emblems with the “45 S” label in the front headrests.

The AMG performance steering wheel in nappa leather/MICROCUT microfibre with yellow decorative stitching as well as the aluminium trim elements with AMG pattern and yellow AMG lettering add further accents to the interior. The AMG door sills also demonstrate the attention to detail. They wear an AMG pattern design in black and illuminate the AMG logo in yellow. AMG floor mats with “45 S” lettering and decorative stitching in yellow complete the interior upgrades.

With an output of 310 kW (421 hp), the AMG A 45 S 4MATIC+ is powerfully motorised. The compact sports car sprints from a standstill to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. The top speed is limited to 270 km/h. In addition to the pure performance figures, the AMG 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engine impresses with its spontaneous response.

The fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive with AMG TORQUE CONTROL makes a significant contribution to the dynamic driving experience: The rear axle drive contains two electronically controlled multi-plate clutches. They are each connected to a drive shaft on the rear axle. This means not only can the driving force be distributed variably between the front and rear axles, but also selectively between the left and right rear wheels.

With only 10 units available, the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S 4MATIC+ Limited Edition is available for order exclusively through the online showroom at Mercedes-Benz Store and is priced at RM 558,888 (including 10% ST) for Peninsular Malaysia. Price is on the road, without insurance.
