ATLANTA (July 1, 2025) – First-class performance, outstanding driving dynamics and striking exterior design – the Mercedes‑AMG CLA 45 S “Final Edition” offers driving pleasure at the highest level. Featuring even more exclusive equipment with numerous edition-specific details, the 2026 AMG CLA 45 S “Final Edition” arrives at select U.S. dealerships in early 2026. The special model will be available to U.S. customers in limited numbers.

A Handcrafted AMG 2.0L turbocharged engine producing 416 hp and 369 lb-ft enables powerful acceleration from 0-60 mph in just 4.0 seconds and a 155-mph top speed (electronically limited). The engine is assembled entirely by one employee on a state-of-the-art production line at the Affalterbach engine factory according to the “one man, one engine” principle.

An eight-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT® DCT-8G dual-clutch transmission guarantees optimal power delivery in all driving situations as well as lightning-fast gear changes. AMG Performance 4MATIC+ fully variable all-wheel drive distributes power to the rear axle via AMG TORQUE CONTROL on a wheel-by-wheel basis – for either maximum traction or the spectacular drift mode.

Exterior design
The AMG CLA 45 S “Final Edition” is exclusively available in MANUFAKTUR Mountain Grey Magno. Distinctive graphics in black and yellow adorn the front doors and exterior mirror covers for a striking contrast. 19-inch AMG Forged Cross-Spoke wheels finished in matte black with unique yellow accents are fitted standard. The brake calipers of the AMG high performance brake system are painted gloss black to compliment the wheels and feature white AMG logos. Another sophisticated detail is the AMG fuel cap in silver chrome with “AMG” lettering and design elements in black.

Among the extensive standard equipment of the “Final Edition” is the AMG Night Package Plus, which further the sharpens the exterior of the AMG CLA 45 S with curated gloss black and black chrome elements. The AMG Aerodynamics Package Plus, also included standard, provides an even more dynamic appearance and enhances the vehicle with components developed in the wind tunnel to improve high speed handling stability:

  • Front fascia with enlarged front splitter and additional flics in gloss black
  • Large fixed AMG rear spoiler in gloss black
  • Lateral airflow trailing edges around the simulated air outlets of the rear fascia in gloss black
  • Diffuser blade in gloss black

Sporty interior with yellow accents
The interior of the “Final Edition” also has an unmistakable design with AMG Performance seats in exclusive black MB-Tex/microfiber upholstery with yellow stitching and “45 S” branding on the front headrests. Yellow stitching also extends to the door panels and dashboard. A “45 S Final Edition” badge on the center console underscores the exclusivity of this special model.

Another highlight of the interior is the AMG Performance steering wheel in Nappa leather/microfiber with yellow stitching and aluminum trim elements with the AMG pattern and yellow AMG lettering. AMG floor mats feature “45 S” branding and yellow contrast stitching. The black AMG door sills further demonstrate the attention to detail with exclusive yellow illumination of the AMG logo.
