CLA 45 AMG Retired

The Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG is a compact four-door powerhouse that packs a staggering 382 horsepower into its sleek, coupe-inspired body, making it one of the most thrilling sedans available for rent in New Jersey. Under the sculpted hood sits a handcrafted 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that holds the distinction of being the world's most powerful series-production four-cylinder. This remarkable powertrain propels the CLA 45 AMG from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 4.0 seconds, delivering explosive acceleration that makes every merge onto the NJ Turnpike feel like a launch sequence. With an MSRP around $55,000, this AMG represents an accessible entry into the world of handcrafted German performance.

The 4-door coupe design combines aggressive AMG styling with everyday practicality. A diamond-block Panamericana grille, wide air intakes, LED high-performance headlights, and muscular fender flares create a silhouette that commands attention from Bergen County to Cape May. Dual chrome exhaust tips and a subtle rear diffuser complete the look, while the fastback roofline gives the CLA 45 a sportier stance than traditional sedans. Inside, AMG sport seats wrapped in Artico leather and microfiber provide exceptional bolstering for spirited drives along the Palisades Parkway, while the AMG Performance steering wheel with shift paddles puts precise control at your fingertips.

The MBUX infotainment system with dual widescreen displays responds to voice commands via "Hey Mercedes," delivering navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and premium Burmester audio through speakers that fill the cabin with concert-quality sound. The AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 8-speed dual-clutch transmission executes gear changes in milliseconds, whether you are cruising in Comfort mode through Morristown or attacking Sport+ mode on Route 78. AMG Ride Control adaptive suspension reads road surfaces continuously, adjusting damping to keep the chassis composed over expansion joints on the Garden State Parkway while staying flat and responsive through sweeping curves near Delaware Water Gap.

AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive sends those 382 horses to all four wheels with a rear-axle torque bias, ensuring confident traction in rain, light snow, or spirited cornering. High-performance Brembo brakes with drilled rotors provide fade-free stopping power that matches the engine's ferocity. Whether you are heading to a business meeting in Jersey City, cruising the waterfront in Hoboken, or blasting down the Parkway toward Asbury Park, the CLA 45 AMG delivers supercar acceleration in a refined, daily-drivable sedan.

Head south on the Garden State Parkway toward Asbury Park or Red Bank and the CLA 45 transforms every mundane highway stretch into an event.

Press the AMG engine start button in the Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG and the handcrafted 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder fires with a sharp bark that immediately announces this is no ordinary sedan. At idle the engine settles into a purposeful thrum, the tachometer needle hovering as 382 horses wait for your command. Select Drive, ease off the brake, and the CLA 45 rolls forward with surprising refinement in Comfort mode. The dual-clutch transmission shifts smoothly and early, the suspension absorbs road imperfections with composure, and the cabin remains hushed as the Burmester speakers fill the space with crisp audio.

Flatten the accelerator and the transformation is violent. The turbocharger builds boost almost instantaneously, delivering a wall of torque that shoves you deep into the sport seat bolsters. The AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT slams through gears with mechanical urgency, each upshift punctuated by a sharp exhaust blip. The 4MATIC all-wheel drive system distributes power to all four corners with a rear bias, and you feel the rear axle rotate the car subtly into corners as you attack the sweeping bends of the Palisades Parkway. On Route 78 heading west toward the Delaware Water Gap, the CLA 45 pulls relentlessly from 3,000 RPM to redline, the exhaust crackling and popping on every lift of the throttle.

Switch to Sport+ mode and the steering weight increases noticeably, delivering tactile feedback through the flat-bottomed AMG wheel as the front tires communicate grip levels on Morris County backroads. The adaptive suspension stiffens, eliminating body roll through rapid direction changes, and the transmission holds gears deep into the power band, refusing to upshift until you pull the paddle. Braking is equally impressive: Brembo calipers and drilled rotors bite hard and progressively, with zero fade even after repeated hard stops. The pedal feel is firm and confidence-inspiring, letting you trail-brake into turns with precision.

Yet the CLA 45 AMG never punishes you for choosing Comfort mode on the long drive home through New Jersey’s suburban sprawl. The suspension softens, the transmission shifts gently, and the cabin returns to its serene luxury sedan character. This duality is the genius of AMG engineering: a car that can embarrass sports cars on backroads and then cruise quietly through Alpine or Short Hills neighborhoods without disturbing the peace. Every input to the steering, throttle, and brake feels calibrated by engineers who understand that 382 horsepower deserves a chassis that can deploy it safely and thrillingly.
