Mercedes-Benz has revealed pricing for its A45 S 4Matic+ Limited Edition.
Priced at $128,400, before on-road costs, the Limited Edition attracts a premium of $7400 over the standard A45 S4MATIC thanks to unique exterior paintwork, interior design upgrades and standardised AMG packaging.
That makes it even more expensive than the Audi RS3 ($95,715) and the BMW M240i ($99,900, both before on-road costs).
Mercedes-AMG A 45 S 2020 review
Mercedes-Benz slashes up to $12,000 off popular models: 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV and A200 hatch get mega price cuts to chase Audi, BMW and Lexus sales
Mercedes-Benz Australia's entry-level models don't feature 48-volt electrification, while some have different engines than advertised, affecting A200, GLA200, GLB200 and CLA200
The AMG A45 S's hand-built 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine delivers 310kW/500Nm to all four wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic.
That compares to 285kW/500Nm on the M240i and 294/500Nm on the RS3. As such, the A45 S has both models beat decisively with a top speed of 270km/h over its rivals’ 250km/h.
The RS3 just edges the A45 S in the 0-100km/h sprint at 3.8 seconds compared to the Mercedes’ 3.9, while the M240i is well behind at 4.5 seconds.
The BMW M2, at $123,900, is still handily the most powerful fastest with 353kW and 600Nm getting it from 0-100km/h in 3.9 seconds.
Unique to the Limited Edition is AMG Green Light Magno exterior matte paint, which comes with the AMG Affalterbach logo embossed on the bonnet and a ‘45 S’ graphic on the doors.
The AMG Night Package and Night Package II add a smattering of black and gloss black exterior design highlights, while the AMG Aerodynamics package adds a fixed AMG rear wing and blade canards.
Additionally, there are black racing stripes and a suite of yellow highlights across the vehicle’s body, including on the front bumper, diffuser, spoiler, air intakes and wheels.
Speaking of wheels, it gets edition-exclusive 19-inch AMG cross-spoke forged wheels in matte black with contrasting yellow rim spokes. Its high-performance brakes are finished in gloss black, while the fuel cap is finished in silver-chrome. Both are treated with the AMG logo, which also projects onto the road or pavement when entering and exiting the vehicle.
The yellow and black contrasting theme continues on the inside with yellow decorative stitching on the leather and microfibre AMG performance seats and steering wheel. The former has ‘45 S’ emblems embroidered into the headrests in yellow.
Yellow highlights also extend to the door panels, instrument panels and aluminium trims, while the door sills illuminate the AMG logo in yellow and the floor mats also include ‘45 S’ stitching in yellow.
The A45 S 4Matic+ Limited Edition is available to order from Mercedes-AMG dealers today.
