Mercedes-amg A45 FAQs

• How much is an AMG a45?

  Currently, the latest Mercedes-AMG A45 range starts at just shy of $100,000, before options and on-road costs. This puts it in the same sort of territory as some of the hot hatches from Audi, Volkswagen and BMW. If you're looking for a driveaway price, make sure you ask the dealer to inform you about on-road costs like stamp duty, dealer delivery fee, registration, and other government charges and taxes. These can add up quite quickly once you start factoring them in.

• Is the A45 AMG worth it?

  Starting off with a solid car in the AMG A35, Mercedes-AMG ramps this up with this next-tier model, the AMG A45. It is a stellar name that makes a grand impression for all the right reasons. It goes beyond the traditional mould of being a hot hatch, and in fact, such is its performance, it veers towards competing with cars out of its class. Racing credentials aside, the A45 AMG is also strikingly beautiful, inside and out, and equipped with every bit of high-tech gear you'll possibly need.

• Is the A45 AMG manufactured by Mercedes?

  As with all the Mercedes-AMG cars, these are a partnership founded on their own critical roles. Mercedes is responsible for the ideation and design of the range, but ultimately the AMG division is the one that takes final responsibility thanks to its performance tweaking. It independently hires engineers and contracts with manufacturers to customise Mercedes-AMG vehicles, although the two brands may share the same production facilities under the ownership of parent company Daimler.
