Those cars are amazing, but I'll definitely go for the CLA 45

I have a 2020 CLA 45 and - out of all the cars I’ve had - and after nearly 3 years- still brings a big grin to my face. Just a fun, spunky automobile.

[@samcharles]

Worth having still now ?

[@ronnyk7980]

Are you interested in selling it??

[@MaicanMemesMW10]

The grille on the 45 looks more unique in my opinion

[@BenjaminMutuku]

It’s definitely more aggressive and has a wider stance.

[@lamme69]

@@BenjaminMutuku Can we put the pack of the 45 on the 35? like the panamera grill etc?

[@Seti12345]

@@lamme69 nope

[@AbdullahYA-]

@@lamme69 2022 they will put the new grille to the 35

[@GeneralGumus]

@@AbdullahYA- pff another year! I only want the 45 for the grille :D

[@SiwonPaul]

Unlike others, I would go with 35. 45 looks more aggressive sure but 35 also looks sport and elegant at the same time. Plus the price difference and different horsepower different taxes here so CLA 35 all the way

[@AlexiGreco]

You can’t go wrong on either one, they are excellent vehicles

[@mikehawk120]

I have the 35 and agree, they are essentially the same engine. I good tune with exhaust bits will push the 35 close the the 45 power number. I really do dig the gray updated rims though. Reminds me a lil of my older gt500 rims.

[@fsan5382]

@@mikehawk120 What's the difference in the interior between the both?

[@mikehawk120]

@@fsan5382 have no clue, here stateside we have the cla45, which is close. But I’m sure the 35/45 interiors are essentially the same going from what I’ve seen here on the tubes.

[@homiixide]

@@mikehawk120 They are not the same engine. The 35 series uses the Mercedes A250 engine but tuned and modified by AMG. The 45 and 45s series is a hand built engine completely made by AMG, a completely different engine. You can NOT “easily” get to the same hp with a 35. The 45 uses alot of different parts compared to the 35.

I was thinking about the cla too, ended up with a 21 A35. Found a 21 for 47.4 otd. I was trying to keep it at 50k or less.

Best Review CLA 45 vs CLA 35 !

[@BenjaminMutuku]

Thank you! Stay tuned for more great content! Also, please share my channel w/ other car enthusiasts.

[@motor_car]

Agree 100%

[@tecknoid659]

Actually the A45s has the most powerful 4 cylinder inline engine not the Cla35, I know the A45s shares the same engine as the Cla45s but regardless the 35 series tend to be the more tuned down variants

[@fayahmad9063]

Finally a comparison video thanks for the content! Word of advice though 90% of the differences you stated came down to spec. The cla 35 can have most of these options, it would’ve been great to do a direct comparison with the 35 you did previously that had the full spec. That being said thanks for the direct comparison 🙏🏽 I’m getting the 35 and putting the gt grille on to make it look almost identical!

[@BenjaminMutuku]

Thank you, Fay! I will be posting more of these types of videos. Congratulations once again! Your support is 100% appreciated.

[@fayahmad9063]

Mercedes Lounge thatd be really great! Just wanted to get your thoughts on something, which colour does the 35 look best in as I’m torn between metallic white or the designo mountain grey both I think you’ve seen in person? Can’t make my mind up haha

[@noharmintended9691]

Fay Ahmad imo i got the the all black with the black multi spoke rims red calipers and red interior looks really fireee

[@sro1756]

so you’re cheating out and faking it

[@fayahmad9063]

ツSRKKO faking what?

[@roarbahamut9866]

Guys, dont buy the CLA 45, go for the CLA45s. Its only around 5k more but you will enjoy the add ons. CLA45s comes with: -red brake caliper - slightly whider body -bigger exhaust tips -around 50hp more All in all 100% worth the 5k more.

I have the 35. Mine has the steering wheel knobs for dynamic select.

That’s cool. The one I had didn’t though. How do you like the CLA 35 so far? What don’t you like about it?

[@worldtraveler8613]

im a coupe guy. all my cars have always been coupes. but the cla sedan is very tempting. absolutely gorgeous

[@BenjaminMutuku]

Excellent choice! CLA 45 amg is my preferred Coupe.

[@Oasisrealtygroup]

I have the cla 45 amg. Basically that same car in the video. It’s awesome.

[@GTI_CHHA]

Great review, it's so valuable to have them compared side by side! Thanks and subbed :-)

[@BenjaminMutuku]

Thank you 🙏🏾 I plan on creating more of these side by side comparisons 🚀

[@jorgeluisrios8676]

The deal breaker is how comfortable is it? Bc I used to own a 2016 CLA 250 and I could feel every dump and cranny on the road I was very unimpressed with it.

[@braex2]

the 45 finally is here in texas, been waiting since last year

[@BenjaminMutuku]

That's great to hear! Let us know what you think of it!

[@魏元丰]

Really appreciate this video which I need it so much!!! It's difficult to select between CLA45 and CLA35 since there are around 20k dollars price difference in China. I think I may choose CLA35 with some packages which I LOVE HUD and Burmester a lot.

[@BenjaminMutuku]

Which one did you get? I’d like to know.

[@noharmintended9691]

Just for your information the knobs can come with the CLA35 based on the configuration, i got mine without i do think the steering looks more clean without them plus the biggest in my opinion the red calipers for the 45 which not the case for the 35 but i painted mine red looks more mean..

[@bZgtHeSTD]

The panamericana grille alone is the reason to get the 45

[@BenjaminMutuku]

Check out the 2021 CLA 45 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jniwfIOipchlj6c

[@justech]

You can buy the grill aftermarket and have it installed for under $200. The only reason to get the 45 is the extra horsepower IMHO

[@stealthhtm23]

fyi those are not bulbs in the headlights. they’re projector housing for the led chips behind them

[@imrantahir1678]

How can you prefer the look of the CLA35 after looking at the CLA45s

Very useful and informative. I’ll stick with the 45 but with night package for my next one!

[@davichin27]

This video is really good !!! Very helpfull !! Thanks

[@adidkjf]

the CLA 35 in this case has not the aerodynamic package unfortunately.. with this package, he looks way better and more similiar to the CLA 45...

No doubt. It feels very planted and solid. Steering wheel is quite responsive, and the cornering is superb. Handling is surprisingly good.

[@YOUNGNGRATEFUL]

You can get the knobs on the steering wheel for the 35.

[@kostkane5045]

I would go for the 45s,its a true amg with hand built engine..The 35 is just a 250 engine and just tuned by amg

[@lefreakify]

Has the 45, or 45s wider fenders than the 35 or 250? They look pretty identical on all cars but I cant figure it out

The 35 is already nice car, with plenty of power, sadly it is a fake AMG, a true AMG is one man one engine! This ruins it! ( other German premium brands use wrong label like BMW who badges M on a 4 cylindres model). AMG is mythic and highly desirable and emotional, anything not AMG, hybride or electrical should have another name, just my humble opinion
