The Mercedes-AMG® CLA 45 S “Final Edition”

* Exclusive design elements and details throughout

* MANUFAKTUR Mountain Grey Magno paint with striking graphics and accents

* Extensive standard equipment for exterior and interior

First-class performance, outstanding driving dynamics and striking exterior design – the Mercedes‑AMG® CLA 45 S “Final Edition” offers driving pleasure at the highest level. Featuring even more exclusive equipment with numerous edition-specific details, the 2026 AMG® CLA 45 S “Final Edition” arrives at select U.S. dealerships in early 2026. The special model will be available to U.S. customers in limited numbers.

A Handcrafted AMG® 2.0L turbocharged engine producing 416 hp and 369 lb-ft enables powerful acceleration from 0-60 mph in just 4.0 seconds and a 155-mph top speed (electronically limited). The engine is assembled entirely by one employee on a state-of-the-art production line at the Affalterbach engine factory according to the “one man, one engine” principle.

An eight-speed AMG® SPEEDSHIFT® DCT-8G dual-clutch transmission guarantees optimal power delivery in all driving situations as well as lightning-fast gear changes. AMG® Performance 4MATIC®+ fully variable all-wheel drive distributes power to the rear axle via AMG® TORQUE CONTROL on a wheel-by-wheel basis – for either maximum traction or the spectacular drift mode.

Exterior design

The AMG® CLA 45 S “Final Edition” is exclusively available in MANUFAKTUR Mountain Grey Magno. Distinctive graphics in black and yellow adorn the front doors and exterior mirror covers for a striking contrast. 19-inch AMG® Forged Cross-Spoke wheels finished in matte black with unique yellow accents are fitted standard. The brake calipers of the AMG® high performance brake system are painted gloss black to compliment the wheels and feature white AMG® logos. Another sophisticated detail is the AMG® fuel cap in silver chrome with “AMG®” lettering and design elements in black.

Among the extensive standard equipment of the “Final Edition” is the AMG® Night Package Plus, which further the sharpens the exterior of the AMG® CLA 45 S with curated gloss black and black chrome elements. The AMG® Aerodynamics Package Plus, also included standard, provides an even more dynamic appearance and enhances the vehicle with components developed in the wind tunnel to improve high speed handling stability:

* Front fascia with enlarged front splitter and additional flics in gloss black

* Large fixed AMG® rear spoiler in gloss black

* Lateral airflow trailing edges around the simulated air outlets of the rear fascia in gloss black

* Diffuser blade in gloss black

Sporty interior with yellow accents

The interior of the “Final Edition” also has an unmistakable design with AMG® Performance seats in exclusive black MB-Tex/microfiber upholstery with yellow stitching and “45 S” branding on the front headrests. Yellow stitching also extends to the door panels and dashboard. A “45 S Final Edition” badge on the center console underscores the exclusivity of this special model.

Another highlight of the interior is the AMG® Performance steering wheel in Nappa leather/microfiber with yellow stitching and aluminum trim elements with the AMG® pattern and yellow AMG® lettering. AMG® floor mats feature “45 S” branding and yellow contrast stitching. The black AMG® door sills further demonstrate the attention to detail with exclusive yellow illumination of the AMG® logo.
