Mercedes AMG GLA45 4matic+

Most powerful Compact SUV hits the Road

 

If you really want a fast and powerful Mercedes SUV you'd be better off with the AMG GLE63 but considering the price it is quite expensive. Not to worry because Mercedes AMG has now announced a car which you all are familiar off the GLA class. Unveiled in 2014 the GLA class became the fastest SUV with the smallest engine fitted since using the same powerplant on the A class and CLA class and now the GLA. Known as the A class of SUV's the GLA is like a normal SUV but is smaller than most SUV's so it is easier to go around town, easier to park and easier to afford. Mercedes AMG know how to put AMG performance onto an compact SUV and it looks aggressive even standing still with the rear spolier, the twin exhaust tailpipes and the aggressive front end it all looks mean especially in the grey paint colour. I pretty like the new AMG GLA45 because it looks smaller than the previous one even though it is exactly the same size though this is the AMG SUV you can actually afford but should you buy one? 

Well the engine powerplant is from the A class AMG a 2.0 litre Turbochagred B4 engine which developing 425HP therefore making it the most powerful 2.0 litre turbocharged engine ever fitted to a car which mercedes have been doing this very well since when the GLA45 AMG came out in 2014 it produced 362HP back then it too was the most powerful 2.0 litre engine. Two years on the facelifted models provided an extra 24HP and now with over 400HP for the new GLA AMG Mercedes have finally cracked it on how a powerful SUV should be like with a smaller engine to balance economy as well since using 9.1 litres for every 100km which is pretty good getting the non S model can set you to use 9.3 for every 100km so very economical even for an SUV with 425HP. As AMG models are getting smaller the 45 series shows a new way to AMG showing that even squeezing the smallest engine can make a car go fast and the 45 series introduced back in 2014 has cracked the code which on a drag race the AMG 45 series will batter all of its rivals thanks to the power. 

Thanks tot he 4MATIC+ drive system the AMG GLA45s is able to sprint to 60mph in under 4 seconds which is supercar quick and flat out if you remove the limit will hit 175mph which is very fast for a compact SUV with a 2.0 litre engine and it will get there faster thanks to the AMG's new 8G AMG speedshift transmission which changes gears in a split second so you are never short of power in between gear changes. No car can ever fit a 2.0 litre engine like Mercedes AMG can do with the A class, GLA class and CLA class but it is affordable but prices stand to not to your needs. This car is around £56,000 which is a lot for a compact SUV but taking it to the other AMG SUV's it is therefore still affordable so you can still get your hands on this car but £56,000 for an AMG GLA45s is quite expensive than you think. The GLA also has Another AMG model known as the GLA35 which should cost around £10,000 less than the 45 series which therfore is at a much better price but top speed is 155mph and power has been shredded to 306HP and 0-60mph is now in 4.7 seconds and you only get a 7 speed AMG speedshift transmission. So the question was should you buy the New GLA45s AMG and the answer is only if you have £56,000 then yes if not the GLA35 AMG would do you good.
