AMG A45 S vs GLA 45: drag strip and track test! | MOTOR

[@matthowell8985]

I have a gla 45 amg and its my favorite car iv ever owned. I beat a lot of fast cars on the freeway. I know what a scat pack is but the scat pack owner thinks "no big deal, its just a hatchback" 😂

[@TeamAtterz]

That track looks amazing!

[@arrakian]

I can hear the GLA had an initial delay before the power was put down compared to the A45. I think this could be closer with some reprogramming.

[@numbereightyseven]

A rolling start race would have been helpful here

[@AEMBowers]

For those commenting on the height/size and relative uglyness of the GLA 45 AMG, bear in mind that the 2019 and prior GLA 45 AMGs are notably more compact and lighter weight than the post-2019 models and therefore don't look/perform quite the same as the one in this video. And with a simple plug-in tune, it will have the same, if not more, horsepower/torque with no further modifications.

the 2021+ H247 GLA is SHORTER than the first-gen X156. Heavier and taller, yes. But shrinking an ANY dimension is very unusual these days. And the m139 I-4 is a hand-built monster.

[@torquespec4721]

My 2016 gla45 AMG does 3.9 and 12.2 stock. Has been a reliable track monster, bone stock for 8yr.

Sadly here in north America we don't get the a45 😪. Only the gla 45

[@chrisrhodes6489]

I'm still pissed about this. Same with the Yaris GT

[@hasanaijaz100]

Same in India! I wonder where they are selling the A45

[@popcornfps]

I got one with an option that added race mode and larger brakes. It'll do, lol

Cuz ppl too fat in US, no customers for smal cars :)

[@Godofhel1]

Thats because of AWS

[@stephenthorpe227]

Same tyre size and type ??? Pretty close on the track but half a second on the strip is a fair way off in reality !

[@aimanhazeem7852]

I daily drive a Gla 45 2015 tune 420hp Its fuel efficient & a pocket rocket Drive safe mate 👍 👌

[@novasigma5964]

2015 had an issue with 7 speed DSG

[@jamiebagala1897]

Ahhh, I'm reminded by how bloody annoying tyre squeal is...

[@soultanasmaga9661]

Ffyfufffy

[@reko3103]

The A45 is pretty. The other one is GLAgly

[@Justinya007]

Lmao different purpose for different people with different taste........ I respect your opinion, however, GLA AMG is a lot better looking than most of it's competition in my opinion.

[@realone7524]

It's competition is a RSQ3 and looks wise I'm sure most would prefer the Audi, and I'm a Benz Guy! The GLA is not the most aesthetically pleasing in its range by far
