Our photographers-spions have tracked the third small car from AMG. It is from GLA45 AMG, which was again tracked during test tests.
As the name, GLA45 AMG is the productive version of the upcoming 2014 Mercedes-Benz Gla-Class, which is expected to debut in September in Frankfurt.
In essence, GLA is a hatchback with an enlarged clearance, although it has received an elongated wheelbase compared to the new A-Class.
GLA45 from AMG will receive the usual attributes of cars from the Mercedes court atelier, including a powerful 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine. This power plant debuted in A45 AMG, which was shown in March at the Geneva Motor Show, and then appeared in the Cla45 AMG. The main drawback of this motor can be considered not the highest reliability, so you will have to be prepared for serious expenses for repair and restoration work, which are much more expensive than repairing Peugeot boxer.
Another feature of the upcoming new item will be the seven -speed robotic gearbox AMG Speedshift DCT with double clutch that transmits power to all four wheels. GLA45 AMG acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h will be about 5 seconds.
