The 2017 Mercedes CLA45 AMG is The Fastest 4-Cylinder Car
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 07. 2017
- Okay, so I've been itching to drive a number of Mercedes-Benz new models recently and today we have the opportunity to take this 2017 Mercedes Benz CLA45 AMG and put it through its paces. Under the hood is a 2.0L inline 4 producing 375 HP and 350 LB-FT of torque being sent to all four wheels through AMGs all wheel drive system. It was a great day on the straights and into the forest corners, and the car really impressed me, if only with a couple of forgettable traits.

Why am i so in love with this car
I think that inconsistency with the gearbox is just how dual-clutch transmissions work. As in the computers are always calculating the next shift you're probably going to make. So when you downshifted it was fast, but when you tried an upshift right after and while not accelerating it was slow. Since the computers expected that either you next shift will be another downshift or that you'll accelerate before wanting an upshift.
This is one of the only reviews of this car with proper sound recording of the exhaust. Epic
I started watching this channel in last august and you guys have improved a ton keep it up
Dude 381 HP ! 475 NM !!
Lucky 222 check my car out
The AMG sound is something I can’t handle 😂😍❤️
Love your vids great quality videos awesome cars keep up the good work
i love that mercedes actually well engineered the internals. many cars that are factory turbo dont make as much power as they should. since the engineers know they are going to slap a turbo on they under engineer the internal components, and what you get is lets say a madza protege, factory turbo making something like 140hp. but more hp than an evo or sti without much more curb weight proves they really outdid themselves with the engineering of this car. i want one. i drive a regular Mercedes now but its bucket list for me to get an amg... this might be the one.
This car is gorgeous!
I just picked up mine two days ago. I watched your video a number of times while I was contemplating buying the CLA45 AMG. Thanks for sharing your review.
And how do you like it?? After 2 years??
I’m hopefully buying the facelift next week
How do you like it
you know marcus i would give feedback but thiers none to give i think your doing great
Just got this car and it is really fun to drive....mashing on the pedal is an instant smile generator. I have a 2017 WRX and a 2017 Z06 ...love'em all.
This or the wtx 😂😂
Dude Really its Awsm😘
Cla is dope you have to see rear Lights in night love ti keep up
Filip Kolaric the newer lights aren’t as cool but can be swapped
@@rcryan7shmee they are way cooler, the pre model tail lights look cheap
I think what he meant to say is that when the car was released it had the highest output per litre of any production car ever. The EVO X FQ400 does not count as it did not leave the production line as a FQ400.
Great video Marcus ,love those pops a lot !
What is with Touareg review ?
Touareg review is coming soon! :D
great looking interior
Holy shit that's insane! 375hp from a 2.0 liter Inline-4. That's almost 200hp per liter, and 100hp per cylinder.
HeHoZy but it's boosted... Not naturally aspirated
Sodiepops Of course it is. Getting these kinds of numbers without boosting would be pretty much impossible.
Sergio Aguirre notice how the ones you mention aren’t stock tho. CLA45 can reach 500+ with turbo upgrades and tuning.
Such a cool car !!
I still have my 2014 CLA 45. Just drove it from California to New York. It performed like a champ and kicked butt.. I like the 93 octane back East. I have not had to replace anything on it I never broke. I have been rough on this car, a lot rougher than my 911 Carreras, and the AMG jams on. I have hit boulders, branches, deep water and whatnot and it keeps on ticking. Not fickle. The Germans got it going on: AMG!
Hey. I saw alot of comments how CLA 45 have problems with turbo? It’s that true and did that happen to you? Alot said that turbo will broke every 3year.
Bro overall the CLA 45 is a steal in all categories. Yes it's not the C63 but say for a person wanting that AMG experience without the big bucks that is quite the bargain!!
I bought mine a year ago it's really a piece of art
Q anon bought mine today. Agreed.
Shoot that's it. Lol good video good vibes. Look up
nice video mate, would like to see a video compare to bmw m2
Is it just me or is this car a lot better looking than the C63 AMG. And the old school gearstick is a plus.
First thing I'll be doing with my 2017 I'm buying next year is a muffler delete. For $900 it makes the car sound so nice even being a 4 cylinder. Have it done on my 2014 cla250 with a multitude of other upgrades and it sounds as good as a V6
The best car ever its my dream
This car really crackles like Beast😈
I don t like the way they placed the navigation monitor either!!
They should change it asap!!!
I bought a CLA180, but a can wait to get a C 63, or E 63 S.
Love mine, the only complaint is that it needs a higher redline.. 6500 rpm
It looks like a Storm trooper in the front
It's not just quick, it's fast. This man is a professional.
🔥🔥🔥🔥👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
would be a great daily car on the used market , when the prices drops to $20K CAD
Slickpete83 I have 4k saved up for down payment when the price drops in a year... I will also trade in my '14 camry so am pretty confident am getting one
@@ikpesaekevi5373 u get 1?
@@ikpesaekevi5373 you get one?
I think in Canada doesn't have the A Class, in Mexico is better the A45 than the CLA 45, I don't know why Canada don't have it, basically is the same motor but with a hatch body. Regards from Mexico ;v
"Just killed that bird over there, HUH..."
Lol just bought one, a 18 with 17k miles on it as a "winter beater". I hope it'll do it's job with the AWD paired with winter tires! Taking delivery in a week. Can't wait!
How has it been for you so far, are you liking it?
@@Ozut1 Overall yes, love it. Only annoying thing is it's kind of a dog off the line unless you use race start. It behaves like your slipping the clutch on a manual which is annoying...really my only complaint. It's f'n fast and good looking otherwise! One more thing, the infotainment system is lacking....not touch screen and kind of behind on that for the time. They've updated it now but for 2018...cmon man.
@@hellcatpekes8974 100% my thoughts man. I am tossing up between cla45 and an sq5 or s3 and although cla45 is faster, audi have had the digital dash touch screen display etc since 2016/17… its nuts it took mercedes this long to put it into their top of the range models..
Beautiful British Columbia
When in S+, the computer is still controlling the upshifts, that's why you had a delay. My C63 does the same thing
Well that's disappointing :'( Would've expected more control in sport mode, and most definitely sport+
they know you are a horrible driver and terrible critic so they let the computer take over for you
Dude where do you film your stuff? I've been wanting to explore some roads but I've only been on the sea to sky
hypno159753 Italy
preety fucking sure it's Canada
Blue motion yeah I know it's vancouver area I live there
Google maps is your friend, just look for the twisty lines
Fraser valley area. maple ridge and mission has great back roads.
At the moment i have a cla 250. Really thinking about moving on to something more agressive. Before the Cla i had a BMW 6. This car was amazing and really cool in turns. Also my cla at the moment is front wheel driving.
Should i go for an CLA 45?
Davy Spens did you is the question
But thinking about it the feature inside of the car and is a luxury brand low price enter level model so is not bad. 4 cylinders like EVO is just performance or tuning, people who buy Mercedes dont just look at power, more interest at comfort, features, looks, flexing and other things. And Mercedes quality is not bad
Im buying this car in 3 days and wanted to know how the suspension handles around turns going around 60 mph. Thanks for all your help
did you buy the car?
I'm looking into purchasing this beauty however all the red details on the inside bothers me anyway to not purchase that package? Or is that standard?
Zach Montesano you can choose different interior options.
the moment you realize that is a nissan sentra platform in a 70%
Cool car but the exhaust needs a more pleasing note I'd say too bogged out sounding
upside down banana
What the difference between the 1 cla 45 amg and the one that come out later 🤔 not the latest one
how hard would it be to wind it up over 400? would the engine be maxed or is there room to move with some mods?
Weistec tune brings it to 480hp / 504 lb.ft
Perfect without the knock-off iPad ...
Car looks fun as he'll to drive definitely doesn't sound like a 2.0 engine
Do a Telsa episode!

I got my cla 45 amg wrapped in matte gold
Almighty King Turtle mine is pure math black
How is it?
WitherSkeletonHD und Mikaelcraftertv ?
ThisShitIsBoosted I did sell it I don’t have it anymore I did buy a Bmw m4 from year 2018 sorry but I don’t know so much about Mercedes I think it has 420hp my new Bmw m4 from 2018 has 431hp
C63,C63S,A45,THE G'S,E63,S63,S65. Made AMG crazy. Maybe the ML. but other AMG is more looking and feel like a high end performance car. But is not tho.
4 cylinder car the best
Your going to hate the model 3 lol
zacsg1 very nice sir!
A little sad, my S500 only has 336 horsepower and 370 pounds of torque.. and its a 5 liter 8 cyclender
anthony jordan cla45 only got 4cylinders I think your 8cylinder sounds better you have in interior a better s class interior
Now if I were to do a highway rolling race or a race from a dig with a 2005 LS2 6.0 liter Pontiac GTO (400hp stock) vs a CLA 45 AMG Orange Art Edition, who would win? (and is there a difference between the Shooting Brake edition vs a normal CLA 45 AMG?
Microsoft Excel Ah, thanks for the response. Yeah I do agree its alot easier to get power from an LS engine. And with a tune on the GTO, how much hp gain will there be?
Microsoft Excel Wow thanks for all this info. I agree LS engines are awesome reliability wise.
Microsoft Excel And what brand/type of ECU should a GTO get? And what would the price be?
Shooting brake is 30kg heavier. The weight distributionis a bit better in shooting brake. The rear is a bit softer in "shooting" than in coupe or A45. It is as in GLA45. I have one not equipped with to many features so it is actually lighter than most of cla45 coupes and close to most of well packed a45. It is lifted version as on the video. Tranny had to be exchanged under warranty some years ago other than that booletproof. Sad that "shooting" was not available in US.
actually 381 hp
I effin love 4 cyl! Sounds so good!! Ill always buy 4 cyl no matter what car I own.
Erik Gonzalez hahahahahahaha LMFAO 😂
Erik Gonzalez what lol? im not hatin on a 4cyl or your choice but you joking lol?
@@ethan12313 have to agree with you, it's like someone with a 3 inch dick saying 'i'm glad it's not a big un'.
Im debating to buy cla45 amg vs audi RS3. Im leaning towards Rs3. Not too fancy but has 400hp🤔🤔🤔
This or M3 .. price is a factor too
You mean this Mercedes has the same thing what Quattro stands for on the Audi s ??
S3?
what the hell did this guy say? did I hear datsun 510? what the f...
All things considered, a stock STi is technically faster if you even out the specs.
mercsan117 yea trust me it ain’t 😂 dumbest comment I’ve seen
whats the price
This or c43?
Whats the price on the car?
Looks like a great car for the money. Fast. However, after driving a V8 for so many years, the sound of this 4 cylinder, as impressive as it is, doesn't do it for me.
the v8 is rapidly becoming a dinosaur.
Buy a 335D or 535D and tune and delete it. Its awesome
What is this color code/name?
doest have cooled seat because they are racing seats
Is it really the fastest or is it more the fastest claimed time that the manufacturer has achieved?
GERMAINE it's the fastest 4 cylinder production car in the world.... fastest and fastest claimed. Because no one has ever comes close to being it to anywhere near 375horse power in a 4cylinder out of production with warranty as well.
Randy R evo 8 mr fq 400?
Or, even the evo x fq 440 mr. (Edit) it would be smarter to say that the cla45 Amg would be the fastest production 4 cylinder straight out of the factory in the market today, because the fq series is a tune job after the car leaves the production line.
I don't think you know what you're talking about. Why the FUCK would mitsu offer a 100k/7year warranty if it's going to break in 4000 miles? Please shut up and let the grown ups talk. Bro, you probably have a scion Tc. NICE TIC BRO!
Except the FQ's were production. That's like saying a Reventon isn't production b/c there's 20 of them. Aka every supercar/hypercar ever. Big boys talking, go back to driving your pinto
Why didn’t you speak more about acceleration?? More engine info please! Did I miss the 0 to 60?
Google
Not as quick as the numbers suggest. They run a 12.7 Quarter. A stock Audi S3 does a 12.9 with supposedly a lot less power. It should be significantly faster.
This new 2017 model with 375HP does the 1/4 mile in 12.5 seconds
No it’s not. Isn’t Mitsubishi made an evo 400 bhp with a 4 cylinder engine years ago?
but does it have VTEC? lol
C63 is 4.0L v8 not 6.2L ?!??
m2
How can anyone like those upshift farts.
acmurda84 you can't say that this sounds like shit. It is on the Internet recorded with a mic so the real life sound is a huge difference. It is more a sound of a bass . It's a really dark sound and also the whole sound is like all the other mercedes v8 cars
Quá đẹp và quá chất.
A stock 4 door Mercedes with carbon front splitter, side canards, turbo and snap, crackle pop exhaust... on a stock 4 door Mercedes...... say What!!!!!
The A45 is quicker, but I think its not available in the US
na it has the same hp, maybe weights a bit less than the cla
yea indeed Drogon ur right
FalconLover xoxo CLA45 is more aerodynamic and it’s actually faster especially at high speed. My CLA does 3.9secs 0-60, check my video
very much welcome
Mazda cx9
you have to be concerned with the longevity of the engine producing so much hp from such a small boosted unit.
Mine has 140,000 and still goin strong
@@LennyCow what do you mean by strong,?
it's a well know fact that an engine with more mileage on and tired loses bhp as it ages and gathers miles covered.
@@davec8730 strong as in still idles smooth, runs efficiently, no metal on metal sounds & when I put my foot down in 3rd gear, I’m doing prison speeds in 4 seconds lol. More than strong enough. Remember these come factory with forged pistons, forged rods, forged crank, closed deck. Stock hp is nothing for it
@@LennyCow have they had turbo trouble with that engine?
i thought they had on the 35.
Review a Golf R
Why the central pannel ???! It’s horrible compared to c amg !😡
CLA 250 or GLA 250 which one is better? Recommend please
Isn't the evo quicker like the fq400
orribleozgaming I
who cares looks like a build it kit car
FQ400 isn't a stock car, I mean it has a modified package that tune the evo to have 400hp..I think the stock evo 9 only got 280-300ish hp I assume?
Riza Wibawa Of course it's stock you dummy. It's just a version of the normal Evo, more powerful. Plus the 4G63 is way more tunable than the CLA45's engine.
Mitsubishi doesn't make the Evo anymore, let alone the fq400 or fq440. The CLA45 AMG is the quickest accelerating 4-cylinder car on the market today.
FQ 400 is the fastest 4 cyl car unless u talk us market then u r prolly right
Gearbox not the quickest. Got to be kidding. The AMG Speedshift DCT changes gear in 0.1 seconds in every gear.
you dont know how AMG does it?
and how how people tune ej207 to 800hp for example? or 400+ tsi 2.0 engines. or basically any other 2.0 engine
??
forged internals + bigger turbo and blow as much psi as you can.
btw what is the outro song? still nothing via the link
Yes, but AMG has to have a robust warranty and a car that won't break in the first couple of years. That's what I meant by that.
well, companies that build engines often also give some sort of warranty. but having factory tune (i dont know if we can call this engine tuned? since it was built with this ps in mind) and dealership warranty is always nice, i agree. i wonder how much more can it handle with stock internals. block is aluminium probably?
the song!
TheTeaGrinder probably not much. Newer cars come all juiced out
I hate the ipad on the dash too, so annoying
You don't like this rear end? How do you feel about the 2022 WRX then? 🤣
Not GLA more like A45 AMG
hate the sticky out screen. Should be intergrated.....always
We just reviewed the brand new CLA45 AMG and you'll be happy to know the screen is quite integrated now :D Seems like they listened
@@RoadsUntraveled it did stick for a long long time. Gonna check out your new review 👍
NOOO! Mate the 4matic is fixed 67/33 rear to front. not a variable differential
jimmy bond that's sad
The front wheel drive CLA and GLA platform uses a different version of 4Matic, with up to 50% to the rear.
Its not the 4matic as it was before. Its basically the modern interpretation of many 4wd systems when only one axle works at the time and when the computer decides the other axle joins through the Haldex clutch. Just like SUVs. Permanent 4wd is very rare today.
oh orright thanks mate
Check my 2017 cla45 new raced out body :)
Randy R Hey Randy, you think your car would win or lose against a 2005 pontiac gto? The gto has like 400hp stock and has a 4.5 0-60. Btw is there a difference between a basemodel cla 45 amg vs a Orange art edition Shooting brake edition?
SubieBoy my car does 0-60 in 4.0 secs. 12.2 quarter mile. I bet it can beat it. I've roll raced with an BMW X6 M 565hp and we were neck and neck. And I eat Subarus for breakfast. They like to race me for some reason.
Randy R Hey I saw your video and you really went nuts with the exterior. Those mods are actually making your car slower because of the added weight with no extra functionality. Also, the bodu is designed to have one of the lowest drag coefficients on the market today so adding those mods mess up the airflow.
Randy R very nice sir!
nojo294 ya I get the point of the potential slower car.. but how much tho? 0-100 mph lacks behind by 0.1 secs or so I’m not worried about that. The look, big spoiler, side vents are already light as they are because of the carbon fiber.. it’s like adding 2-4lbs of weight to the car which is nothing. The look alone can fool people to think that it’s really fast and not to mention the crazy pop and crackle the exhaust make. It just looks good to me and I always want to stand out from the crowd.
Shame you dont get the A45 over there. It looks better than the CLA.
