The Concept GLA 45 AMG: A Look Forward To The New SUV From Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes-AMG will be presenting its outlook on a compact, high-performance SUV at the L.A. Auto Show.  The Concept GLA 45 AMG features a bold, exciting and distinctive design and is powered by the most muscular 4-cylinder powertrain in series production any-where in the world; its AMG 2.0 litre turbocharged engine with an output of 360 hp and maximum torque of 450 Nm, offering unrivalled performance with low fuel consumption. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in under five seconds demonstration the dynamism that is so typical of Mercedes-Benz.  With the combination of the AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive system and the AMG Speedshift DCT 7-Speed sports transmission, the drive configuration of the Concept GLA 45 AMG impresses with its sporty yet efficient performance.

The Concept GLA 45 AMG has a powerful and muscular presence on the road. This is due to the AMG forged wheels in a cross-spoke design with 255/35 R 21 tyres. Painted matt black with a red rim flange, they certainly attract attention. They are complemented by the AMG wheel hub covers with centre lock-look, plus an AMG high-performance braking system with red brake calipers.

The large front splitter in high-gloss black on the AMG front apron, the black flics (air deflectors) with additional flics, together with the large cooling air intakes, serve to underline the long tradition of motorsport at Mercedes-AMG. The motor racing look is further reinforced by the start number "45" on the doors and the distinctive AMG logo at the upper edge of the windscreen. Further design elements exclusive to AMG include the "twin-blade" radiator grille in silver chrome, the side sill panels with high-gloss black inserts, the "TURBO AMG" lettering on the front wings, the high-gloss black roof rails and the large rear aerofoil.

The sporty silver grey/red foil wrap on the bonnet, vehicle sides, C-pillar and rear end makes a memorable impression and is complemented by the red highlights on the radiator grille, exterior mirrors, diffuser insert and AMG rear aerofoil. The rear view is dominated by the diffuser insert with black trim element and by the twin-tailpipe design of the two rectangular, high-gloss black tailpipe trims of the AMG sports exhaust system with exhaust flap.
