2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG

Mercedes AMG kicked-off the automotive springtime of 2013 in the "Ny" in dynamic fashion as the CLA45 AMG observed its world premiere in the 2013 New York International Auto Show. The doctrine behind this four door mid-set coupe fits that of the effective CLS 63 AMG, the trend setter among four door high performance coupes. With gas consumption of 6.9 litres per 100 kilometers based on NEDC united amounts, the CLA45 AMG satisfies even the most exacting conditions. The operation-oriented AMG 4MATIC all-wheel-drive of the CLA45 AMG likewise establishes a fresh standard in its competitive section.

Ola Kallenius, Chairperson of mercedes amg GmbH: "With the CLA45 AMG, mercedes amg is found an one-of-a-kind and thoroughly desired car with the typical DNA of AMG. A high tech bundle that has the most effective series production four-cylinder motor on the planet together with operation-oriented AMG 4MATIC all-wheel-drive, it embodies Driving Operation during its greatest."

The brand new four door high performance coupe has an extraordinary mix of an excitingly sporty driving expertise, opulent layout and exclusive identity. With all the CLA45 AMG mercedes amg is creating a totally new section - as it did formerly with the CLS 63 AMG Firing Brake (2012) and also the CLS 55 AMG (2004). During The time of the start, neither of the AMG versions had any direct competitors, but went to inspire other automotive producers. Turbocharged motor, all-wheel-drive and also the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-rate sports transmission - the CLA45 AMG functions the identical drive system which is powering the A45 AMG to provide effective and exceptionally dynamic operation.

Usually AMG: the most effective series production four-cylinder turbo-engine in the whole world

The mix of torsion and high-performance, along with the operation-oriented AMG 4MATIC all-wheel-push system, provides the CLA45 AMG driving features virtually on a level with these of a sports vehicle. However, the AMG 2.0-litre turbo-engine is striking not just in regard to its dynamic operation but also with respect to its efficacy and environmental compatibility. The CLA45 AMG realizes a fuel consumption amount of 6.9 litres per 100 kilometres based on NEDC united amounts, while it currently satisfies the EU6 discharges standard that simply comes in to effect in 2015 along with the limit for the particle depend per kilometre of 6 * 10 11 component./kilometer which will become compulsory in 2017.

The foundation for all these remarkable amounts is supplied by the high tech bundle that has been gathered by mercedes amg. Thermodynamic efficacy is enhances fuel utilisation and increased by the mix of several discharge ignition and various fuel injection significantly, resulting in lower exhaust discharges. Other highlights are the gravitation-die sand cast all-aluminium crank case, fat-optimised crank assembly with forged-steel crankshaft and cast pistons with friction-optimised piston rings, NANOSLIDE cylinder wall engineering, atmosphere-water charge-air cooling, generator direction and ECO begin/stop function.

Mercedes AMG addresses the vital challenges in regards to the reaction of little-displacement turbo engines with a dual-scroll turbocharger, optimum limitation of the exhaust program and a cutting-edge injection strategy. The dual-scroll technologies provides for a much more impulsive accumulation of cost pressure, producing effective utilization of exhaust-gas back pressure, exhaust-gas temperature and exhaust-gas pulsation. This leads to a speedier buildup of torsion right from the low rev range. As a favorable side effect, the double-scroll technology additionally gains fuel usage and exhaust discharges.

The AMG sports exhaust system features big conduit cross sections and a mechanically restricted exhaust flap. This engineering, which will be recognizable from the SLK 55 AMG, accommodates the two seemingly conflicting objectives of physical dynamism and hallmark Mercedes relaxation on extended journeys. The flap is constantly fixed by map handle according to the energy called up from engine-speed, load position and the motorist. The AMG sports exhaust method emits an amazing, total engine sound that's especially striking during strong acceleration.

An AMG Operation exhaust system with exhaust flap can be acquired as an alternative for the A 4 5 AMG. This offers a far more psychological and hitting engine sound when the accelerator is open and throughout equipment shifting. The double declutching function throughout downshifting and also the gap of ignition and injection throughout upshifting under full freight generate a specially throaty sound together with the AMG Operation exhaust system and build a degree of emotionality that's otherwise the protect of engines with over four cylinders.

High performance cooling method with parts in the SLS AMG

The large driving dynamics of the CLA45 AMG require an extremely successful cooling system. On the foundation of the parts in the SLS AMG, a low temperature circuit is also set up for atmosphere-water charge-air cooling of the four-cylinder turbo-engine. Along with The charge air cooler, which will be linked in sequence, a high performance electrical pump ensures the needed flow through the water coolers found behind the big intake ports. This offers perfect cooling of the tremendously compressed charge atmosphere, thus lending towards optimum engine operation.

As is the situation with all 8- and twelve-cylinder engines, the brand new AMG four-cylinder turbo-engine is hand built according to the original AMG doctrine of "one guy, one motor". A characteristic quality of the "one-man, one engine" generation procedure is the AMG motor plate bearing the signature of the accountable engine fitter. Aside from functioning as an AMG hall mark verifying superlative generation quality, the AMG motor plate additionally attests to the peerless DNA of Mercedes Benz's high performance brand.

Dual clutch transmission and all-wheel-drive - the push bundle on board the brand new CLA45 AMG is a demonstration of high end engineering art. Vital applications modules have already been embraced in the SLS AMG superb sports car using its inspirational power-transmission theory. The dual-clutch transmission of the CLA45 AMG characteristics seven gears, three driving programmes, a double declutching function and RACE BEGINNING for ideal acceleration. The strengths of the AMG DCT sports transmission contain impulsive gear shifting with no pause in tractive energy, a tailormade management strategy, incredibly smooth and uncomplicated gear shifting plus a high degree of efficacy. Reinforced equipment wheels offer greatest equilibrium. Synchroniser rings with carbon fibre friction liners enhance durability while also optimising the reaction time during guide gear-transforming - the perfect basis for challenging laps on cordoned-away race tracks.

Another unique characteristic made to boost dynamic operation and driving pleasure is the so called "Fleeting M mode". In C and S mode, this allows the driver to activate guide mode ("M") and never having to eliminate a hand in the steering wheel, by pressing the "upwards" or "down" change paddle once. In Brief M mode the motorist experiences the dynamism and functioning of equipment-shifting in guide mode in all of the automated driving programmes, with automatic up-transferring on satisfying the rpm limit in to the bargain. This permits the motorist to give his complete concentration to the car's striking operation.

The change times in guide mode "M" and in sport-mode "S" are likewise sporty in nature to all those of the SLS AMG GT superb sports car. Briefly and just interrupting ignition and injection under total load leads to much faster gearshifts in "M" and "S", using a more psychological sound than ever before. In "C" mode (Restricted Efficacy), tangibly delicate transmission and motor features support a fuel-saving and relaxation-oriented driving fashion.

The CLA45 AMG includes varying, efficiency-oriented AMG 4MATIC all-wheel generate as regular. In creating this all-wheel-drive, the emphasis was firmly on dynamism and operation. The electricity flux to the back powertrain is furnished with a streamlined power take off unit (PTU) which is totally incorporated in the 7-speed sports transmission. This settings gives rise to significant weight edges as compared to competing systems which branch off-power in the form of an addon part using its oil circuit. As an extra bonus, the program weight of the brand new AMG 4MATIC all-wheel-drive is really up to 25% lighter than the all-wheel-drive variations provided by the opposition.

A 2-component propeller shaft transfers the electricity in the AMG 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-engine to the back axle. In the pursuits of favourable fat distribution, an electrohydraulically managed multiple-disk clutch is incorporated using the back axle differential. The numerous-disk clutch promptly finds slip in front axle. A hydraulic pump directs the motor torque to the back wheels as required and instantaneously presses the disks jointly. All this requires place almost less the driver seeing. As is usual with several other systems, the pump is obviously active and doesn't need to be started up each time it's wanted, to empower specially swift reply. Electricity distribution is totally changeable: in regular driving, the CLA45 AMG utilizes fwd in the pursuits of ideal efficiency. When the driving dynamics thus demand, the varying AMG 4MATIC all-wheel-drive divides the torsion between front and back axle as much as a ratio of 50:50 percentage. The variants affecting the electricity distribution ratio are car rate, lateral and longitudinal acceleration, steering angle, velocity difference involving the personal wheels, accelerator spot and picked equipment.

The three ESP(registered company) phases empower the motorist to alter the dynamics of the CLA45 AMG in accordance with his individual wishes in the push of a button. On finding the operating states have become shaky the machine starts braking intervention on one or maybe more wheels and lowers the motor torque.

This dynamically oriented driving mode utilizes suitable management strategies for later ESP(registered company) intervention and raised drive torque in the back axle. This implies more interesting in the wheel for motorists that are keen to use the car's dynamic possibility. Pressing the ESP(registered company) button more activates "ESP AWAY". In this mode, the ESP(registered company) features aren't accessible. ESP AWAY should exclusively be employed by seasoned motorists on cordoned-off race tracks. When the driver steps to the brake pedal in "ACTIVITY Treatment" mode or "ESP OFF" mode, all of the security functions of the ESP(registered company) program become accessible during braking.

ESP(registered company) Curve Dynamic Help complements the ESP(registered company) program to perfection: throughout dynamic cornering, imperceptible braking intervention to the inner wheel gives rise to some defined yaw second round the perpendicular axis, causing exact cornering from the CLA45 AMG and ensuring the vehicle stays under control all the time. ESP(registered company) Curve Dynamic Support is accommodated in line with the chosen ESP(registered company) mode. ESP(registered company) Curve Dynamic Help is another role of the Electronic Stability System which clearly enhances not only agility, but additionally active driving security in critical states.

AMG sports suspension with separate front and back axle

Like every AMG high performance car, the fresh CLA45 AMG additionally integrates innovative axle technology. For increased driving dynamics, the three-link front suspension is given with wholly new elastokinematics and stiffer steering knuckles. Recently developed, more stiff bearings are used in the low link airplane. These supply for much more exact and direct responses and much more agile cornering qualities in the road surface. The more stiff bearings additionally cause higher camber stiffness, empowering higher cornering rates. Great significance was attached to achieving the perfect grip in tremendously dynamic driving, in creating the whole front axle.

The back axle rack is given with more stiff bearings for improved driving firmness; the sub frame is rigidly linked to the body. The AMG sports suspension with specially tuned spring/damper models and bigger stabilisers offers a decreased wheeling propensity in swift double curves and also high lateral acceleration.

AMG speed-sensitive sports steering and AMG high performance braking system

The electric-motor is installed in room-preserving setup in the steering equipment. The AMG high performance braking system with ventilated and perforated brake disks all round in dimension 350 x 32 millimetres in and 330 x-22 millimetres at the trunk provides for impulsive and dependable deceleration.

Unmistakable layout

Merely a glimpse in the brand new CLA45 AMG helps it be quite clear: any similarity to the CLS 63 AMG is totally deliberate. The expressive layout idiom of the CLA was improved by mercedes amg with some characteristic AMG components - and the effect is a fresh layout icon. The sporty percentages of the CLA are there from the beginning , but-its dynamic appear is strengthened by the AMG "twin-blade" radiator grille along with the cross-strut in the AMG front apron, equally painted in matt titanium gray. The generously proportioned cooling air-intakes are framed by black flics, which enhance the flow of air on the cooling modules placed behind them. Bi-xenon headlamps are contained as normal.

Additional components typical of a top of the range AMG version range from the AMG twin-spoke light-alloy wheels, painted gray and using a large-sheen end, in addition to the "TURBO AMG" inscription on the wing. Seen in the back, the CLA45 AMG shows a distinguishing AMG rear apron: this-not simply reveals the existence of the atmosphere exit openings in the sides, but additionally includes a sizable diffuser insert and also a trimming section in matt titanium gray. Both chrome-plated twin tailpipes of the AMG sports exhaust method, including an exhaust flap, function to emphasise the auto's dynamic allure. The outstanding LED tail lights really are a regular attribute.

Dynamic, unique and top quality inside

Striking quality, high grade substances and each of the dynamism and exclusivity usually linked with mercedes amg - the inner part of the CLA45 AMG leaves nothing to be wanted. Organizing totally with one another are the brushed aluminium trimming of the five galvanised venting wall socket and also the instrument panel. Info is supplied by the AMG instrument cluster using its principal colour screen, the AMG main menu as well as the RACETIMER.
