2014 Mercedes CLA 45 AMG (360hp) - DRIVE & SOUND (1080p)

This week I present to you the full DRIVE and SOUND of the sweet looking and nasty sounding 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG. Special thanks go to the guys from the TORPEDO GARAGE in Kaiserslautern (www.torpedo-garage.de) that let me drive and test this AMG for 2 days! This range-topping CLA comes with the all-new 2.0 AMG Turbo delivering 360hp and 450Nm of torque. Thank god that the power goes to all 4 wheels through the 4-Matic AWD system and a 7-speed DCT is also on board. Well, this definitely is the best 4-cylinder on the market, no doubt! Especially the punch at mid-RPMs is brutal and it always sounds raw and loud. This particular car actually "only" comes with the standard AMG exhaust system, the optional performance exhaust (option) will add even more sound. As the ride is already pretty firm I would recommend staying away for the optional performance suspension. For this test, it is hard to talk about the consumption as I did a lot of high speed and acceleration testing but the direction is pretty clear: If you ask for the performance you will not get below 15l/100km, but if you drive it in a normal way I expect and overall consumption of around 9l/100km. If you enjoyed watching this video I would highly appreciate if you LIKE, COMMENT & SUBSCRIBE!

%90 of people who says this car is a shit drives a honda or something similar and they will never be able to buy this kind of car which they say its affordable. So yeah, haters gonna hate.

Getting one in July, albeit an A45

[@VladimirMicic]

my comments keep disappearing for some reason.. Yeah I got some videos if it on my channel, bought it a month ago. The car is so much fun it's insane.. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@WynterK]

Great review by the way. No talking just a good up close and personal with the car. Really gives you a good feel for the car that you don't get when someone is always yapping about specs you already know and opinions that you really don't care about.

[@vubevube]

rich folks, buy plenty of those, especially in white, treat it gently, and i'll buy a second hand one, in a couple years ;)

[@Kolzahn]

You'll get there, keep it up :)!

[@pablohablantes8628]

Why it's only like 50k. Rich people don't buy these, they buy s class. Even I can afford the new gl450, and I'm 26

[@vubevube]

Pablo Hablántes 50k of what? chickens? goats? you know youtube is not only in your country right, and we have different currencies? if you reffer to dollars then the amg version costs much more than that in europe.

[@pablohablantes8628]

You got me there haha. $50,000 in the U.S. It's really around 56k if you factor in a few options

[@jaafarjfe]

Arround 64000€ in here

[@WynterK]

If you've ever driven a quick paddle shift car like this you will notice that it's hard not to shift it early because for one the car sounds great with ever shift and two it's amazing and fun how fast the car changes gear. I use to complain about reviewers shifting too early until I drove some of these cars and found myself shifting early for fun. It's not like a manual where you want to stretch the gears out.

[@nicklopez5298]

am very impressed with the weight,power,& luxury mix

[@pixelatedsn0w94]

Holy Jesus it sounds beautiful.

[@tyson8k]

Omg that gasping sound after he revs the car! Music to my ears.

[@jateruy]

damn this thing actually sounds so good in real

[@jason.mwalsh5867]

The optional sports exhaust is even wilder on the 2016 version. Glad to see you enjoying your car.

[@finalnintyeight]

I saw one today, man what a car. I especially like the shifting 3

[@carguy4282]

Brilliant videos. Keep them coming.

[@catalinadc2511]

Love the sound it makes!!!! IT's just the MB CLA 45 AMG... imagine the GT S!!!! Whoooo-ooooo!

[@drose4life39]

Omg i just love this shit so much! The best 4 cylinder and cracking sounds, perfect elegant curves and over-cool interior! Both looks and sounds like my destiny!

[@CharllesC78]

Viele Dank, onether great video from My favourite car brand!

[@BANNERTM]

love styling of this car

[@JayPase]

The exhaust can talk on this car. It says: "You will like me when I'm angry"

[@r.a.h7682]

what a beautifull car

[@61golem]

The best sound for cla amg

[@KyronSmith]

This car is basically an A45 AMG 2013 since they both have the same AMG Engine and Exhaust. Ive been in the CLA 45 2014 so many times its really shows what its can handle by Performance Standards and that Exhaust just Surprises me when i hear it.

[@samuelminazio4810]

Very good

[@rafaelcalha]

That is a GREAT soundtrack! Going to be even better with the sports exhaust! Much prettier than the A45 and a bit more practical. Audi has made a great S3, but they will have to go enourmous lenghts to beat this one!

This exhaust can't possibly be stock. It's much louder and bangs pops more.

Where do you get those gloves? :)

[@-.-..._...-.-]

I have a 2015 cla 45 as my everyday car and I am not sure if it sounds this loud, but then again I've never been outside when a cla 45 has whipped by. When I saw the interior part of the video the sound sounds right. I think it sounds that loud in this video because of the area the driver is at, as sound resonates in the country side.

[@arelaththewhitewolf230]

. This has AMG performance exhaust.. either you have it or not.. I don't have the option. It sounds bad in idle but sounds get better as the tires start to move

[@VascoPCosta]

Are you happy whi the car? Still have it?

[@Automann-TV]

Thanks! Haven't driven a GL yet and would definitely be interested. Maybe I will get one....

[@dizzykfcman]

ok, cool reviews

[@LeaveMyGun]

Can someone explain why is there the sound like during the acceleration that sounds like the engine is about to explode that you can hear every few seconds?

[@ajcasbay]

Que preciosidad de coche, la linea que ha sacado mercedes es cosa mala..

[@dreamtobemrs.mendes4735]

fährst du mit dem Sport Modus oder das normalen

[@Kevkevkev763]

This engine is super super hot after 15 mins driving due to the turbo. I think that factor also reduce the durability of the engine

[@OZH204]

I’ve had mine for 4 years and haven’t had a single issue. I drive it hard almost all of the time. It has a forged motor and can handle much more power

[@Nilizar_]

@@OZH204how many kilometers does you car have now?

[@BState]

On every gear change it sounds like there are some floating bolts or whatever else... inside the exhaust.

[@SimonW1974]

Zunächst möchte ich betonen, dass deine Videos klasse sind. Ich hatte das Vergnügen, kürzlich einen A45 AMG Probe fahren zu dürfen. Aber ich finde diese Literleistung irgendwie immer noch schräg, weswegen ich immer noch bei einem Kauf Bedenken habe. Vielleicht spinn ich mir da auch was zurecht....aber ich würde bei der Leistung einen größeren Hubraum vorziehen. Ich überlege ! ;-) Aber die Tage kommt noch zum Anschauen ein C400......da bin ich auch gespannt. LG

[@Automann-TV]

+SimonW1974 Moin. Danke für das Lob;) Ich selber aktuell einen Audi S3 mit 330 PS laut Prüfstand und ich habe bisher absolut problemlose 50k km damit abgespult. Der Motor schüttelt die Leistung quasi aus dem Ärmel und fühlt sich nicht im geringsten angestrengt an. Beim A45 bzw. CLA45 wir hier war das etwas anders, da das Getriebe dem Motor nicht perfekt zuspielt. Daher hat Mercedes ja jetzt auch die Einheit überarbeitet. Der Motor soll noch standfester sein, bei gleichzeitig gesteigerter Leistung auf 381 PS. Den größten Sprung gibts allerdings beim Getriebe welches nun deutlich harmonischer schaltet und daher auch den Motor weniger belastet. Bis du einen 381er gefahren, oder noch den 360er? Grüße, AMTV

[@SimonW1974]

Hallo. Erstmal Danke, für Deine Antwort. Es war die 360er Version. Es ist nicht gegen das Auto zu sagen....aber mir ist das Auto doch zu holprig. Enthusiasten werden sicherlich ihren Spaß haben.Und ich freue mich weiterhin auf neue Videos von Dir. LG Simon

[@Smokerboy30]

Der ist schon echt laut ey aber richtig nice

[@filipponeri1018]

it is better to buy the CLS or the CLA????

[@vujaciclakers9278]

Hi, is this the standard sports exhaust or optional performance exhaust? Other videos of the sports exhaust is much more quiet compared to yours. Yours sound like other performance exhaust videos! I am getting a cla 45, but my country does not allow the optional performance exhaust.

[@Automann-TV]

+Vujacic Lakers I'm honestly not 100% sure anymore but I think I checked the options of this car and it has the "standard" exhaust, nothing optional.

[@arelaththewhitewolf230]

Vujacic Lakers AMG performance exhaust... I have the stock one.. doesnt sound loud and sound like shit in idle.. only when you drive it, that it sounds better
