Revealed at the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the C118 debuted MBUX, Mercedes-Benz's AI-powered infotainment system.
The CLA 45 S AMG produces 421 hp and 500 Nm of torque, with AMG's 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system capable of directing torque fully to the rear axle.
A Shooting Brake followed in late 2019, with the full lineup including the CLA 180, CLA 200, CLA 220d, CLA 250, CLA 35 AMG, and CLA 45 S AMG.
