2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG

Equipped with numerous race-inspired goodies, the 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG stands as one of the most fun-to-drive SUVs in the world. This vehicle is a great compromise for SUV shoppers who desire the performance of an elite sports car. Not only does the new GLA45 AMG provide a hefty dose of excitement on the road, but it also packs a number of innovative creature comforts. Here is an overview of this high-performance driving machine.

The heart of this beast is a turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine. Despite the engine’s relatively small stature, direct-injection technology enables it to produce a jaw-dropping 355 horsepower and 332 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine’s incredible output makes it one of the most powerful four-cylinder engines on the market. According to Motortrend, the performance-focused SUV can hit 60 mph in only 4.3 seconds. In regards to fuel efficiency, the GLA45 AMG is rated at an impressive 31 mpg on the highway.

Instead of using a traditional manual gearbox, Mercedes-Benz has fitted the new GLA45 AMG with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. When the sport mode has been activated, the gear shifts are remarkably quick. Drivers can also use the sporty shift paddles to gain manual control over the transmission.

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG comes equipped with a 4Matic all-wheel-drive system. The use of an all-wheel-drive system enables the SUV to maintain a relentless grip on the road surface. Drivers who live in snow-prone regions will find the SUV’s enhanced traction to be especially beneficial. Unlike some of its rivals, the GLA45 AMG is a capable off-road performer that can be driven on a wide variety of different terrains.

A bevy of advanced safety features come standard on the new GLA45 AMG. The SUV’s exclusive Attention Assist system can actually detect the presence of a drowsy driver. With the use of radar technology, the Collision Prevention Assist system automatically applies pressure to the brakes when needed. Designed with perforated rotors, the beefy AMG braking system promises to provide superior stopping power at all times.

You simply can’t overlook the GLA45 AMG’s racy appearance. The SUV’s muscular physique is further enhanced by a set of gorgeous 19-inch wheels. Featuring an aggressive AMG body kit, the GLA45 has a menacing road presence that leaves onlookers in awe. On the rear, the quad-tipped exhaust system gives the GLA45 an even more sinister profile.

While the GLA45 AMG’s claim to fame is its spectacular driving dynamics, it still retains a high degree of luxuriousness. According to Leftlanenews.com, the SUV displays its versatility with a maximum cargo capacity of 43.6 cubic feet. The entire interior has been enhanced with a number of creative touches. The AMG sport seats promise to keep the passengers firmly planted during high-performance driving situations. The race-inspired gauges and flat-bottom steering wheel further help to elevate the SUV’s fun factor.

Some of the standard features include a sports-tuned suspension system, bi-xenon headlights, an easy-to-use Comand infotainment system, and a power lift-gate. There are also several available options. The available sport exhaust system is a must for the motorists who crave the sound effects of a genuine race car. Some of the high-tech upgrades include navigation, dual-zone climate control, and an extraordinary Harman Kardon sound system.

Prices for the new 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG start at about $49,000. However, Edmunds reveals that the average price paid is $47,408.
