Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG India launch

Continuing what seems to be a steady stream of AMG powered vehicles this year, Mercedes-Benz India has added another feather under its cap with the launch of the new GLA45 AMG. With the standard GLA-Class already racking up sizable bookings, the GLA45 AMG too is likely to follow with its practical compact SUV yet powerful AMG approach. The Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG costs Rs 69.6 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai).  

The Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG features more aggressive styling as compared to its normal versions. With deeper bumpers and larger air intakes combined with a grey chin spoiler, the GLA45 AMG might be small in overall proportion but does look the part of a serious performance SUV. Around the back, the GLA45 AMG features a set of typical AMG quad exhausts and an inbuilt diffuser. The large 19-inch wheels complete the overall look and stance of the car.

On the engines front, the GLA45 AMG features a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine that makes 360PS of peak power. Not only is this the most powerful engine in the world when one compared litre-to-power outputs, it is also one of the most fun to drive, as we recently found out in our review. (Click here to read Mercedes-Benz GLA45 Review). The GLA45 AMG also comes with all-wheel-drive that helps all that power reach tarmac and comes with three driving modes that help transform the car from a docile everyday SUV to a fire breathing monster.

The Mercedes-Benz GLA45 is possibly the most user friendly sportscar/sports SUV that you can buy and also, considering the state of India’s roads, the most practical. With its high ground clearance, owners will not have to worry about scraping the GLA45 AMG’s nose or underbelly on potholes and speed bumps either. The GLA45 AMG joins the recently launched CLA45 AMG, which also runs on identical underpinnings. Mercedes-Benz India will also launch the A45 AMG in the near future therby almost completing the AMG line in India. Also expect a more powerful and all-wheel-drive equipped diesel version of the GLA-Class soon too.
