After we discovered a leak in full every single detail of this compact sedan and sport, today we finally have a free hand to introduce the whole gallery and official details of this machine in three volumes, which shares mechanical components with the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG.
The technical specifications are the same: A 2-liter engine with 180 horsepower per liter (360 in total), 450 Nm of torque intelligently distributed to all four wheels, 0-100 in 4, 6 seconds, a point limited to 250 per hour, and a certified consumption of only 6.9 liters per 100 kilometers (if we leave the car a week, I’m sure it will go down to the nine).
However, if given the choice, prefer blatantly Mercedes-Benz CLA to A-Class, and its aesthetic and its back we like more, but the front overhang seems to us exaggerated, especially after seeing what has gotten VAG in the new Audi S3 sedan, where the front wheels are much closer to the edge of the bumper.
Course, what the overhang draws much attention from the photos, but then when you see the car live, part of that impression disappears ( I bet €1 for the Citroen C5 gives you no sense of tremendous front overhang, but if you see the photos but gush).
Addition, the 360 horses will be there to wipe any complaints. The Mercedes-Benz CLA surely snack on a couple of Audi S3 sedan for breakfast, so we will wait to see the RS3 a melee equal. And while there will also come for the BMW M2 GranCoupe to join the party.
Warfare compact sport sedan is served. BMW will have the advantage of having the only rear-wheel drive, but who will take the upper hand in sales question?
