Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 is waving goodbye to its current-generation CLA 45 S with a spectacular ‘Final Edition’ that gains various exterior and interior modifications for a bit more sugar and spice. This isn’t just another special edition—it’s the definitive farewell to one of the most potent compact performance machines ever created.
The Final Edition will be offered in limited numbers starting in early 2026, exclusively finished in MANUFAKTUR Mountain Grey Magno paint with striking black and yellow graphics. Think of it as AMG’s way of saying “thanks for the memories” before the all-new third-generation CLA arrives.
Power and Performance: Still the Beast We Know and Love
The powertrain remains unchanged, with the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder pumping out 416 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. This handcrafted AMG M139 engine enables the sporty coupe to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds, making it a proper pocket rocket that’ll embarrass much larger, more expensive machinery.
The standard AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive system ensures every ounce of that power reaches the tarmac effectively, while the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission delivers lightning-quick shifts that would make a race car driver weep with joy.
Visual Drama: Standing Out in Style
The package includes 19-inch forged alloys, large vinyl graphics along the flanks, and neat yellow accents throughout. You’ll also get the option of an AMG aero package, which brings a dinky rear wing, a larger front splitter plus a revised front apron, and a blade diffuser out back.
Interior Highlights: Yellow Fever
The yellow touches continue inside, where the Final Edition features black AMG Performance seats upholstered in microsuede and Mercedes’s MB-Tex synthetic leather with yellow stitching throughout the cabin. The front headrests sport an embroidered “45 S” logo, while “45 S Final Edition” badging on the center console commemorates its exclusive status.
