New AMG A45 S vs old AMG A45 review + 0-60, rolling race and drift test!
Рет қаралды 2,096,606
5 жыл бұрынIt’s the comparison you’ve all been waiting for… the all-new AMG A45 S vs the old AMG A45! With a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo packed under the bonnet that can produce 415hp, the new A45 is a serious contender to be the top new hot hatch of 2019! But does it warrant the massive £50,000 price, and would you just be better off picking up a second-hand A45 instead? Stick with Mat and find out!

I believe he deliberately picked that red pre-facelift a45 without aero pack to make the new a45s stand out, plus that old a45 seems to be in really bad shape... Taking into account the condition of brake pad, tyres, condition of the car, 4.8s isn't fair at all... If he picked the facelift a45, that'd be a different story, the facelift should be able to do 4.2s, not to forget he mentioned he tested the facelift a45 in 4s dead when it came out years ago so I guess it's all about marketing. When a newer model comes out, they'll just make the old one looks as bad as possible... I know the a45s is bit faster than the old stock facelift a45 but in my opinion the old a45 sounds way better....

Handson Hui so true, couldn’t agree with you more. The new A45s is about 20% dearer than the facelift 2016 A45. MB is trying to justify that by making the 45s look heaps superior than the fl A45. Tbh £50k is a bit too much of a price to pay for this car.

Plus it starts life as entry level hatchback without super lightweight construction and exotic materials in mind. Mercedes could give them exotic material to reduce weight but the price will be astronomical like renault megane rs trophy.

Interesting figures. You must have been testing a fairly recent A45. Earlier models (3 yo) would do 0-60 in 4.2 s. The failing was that at low revs in comfort setting the engine would be a bit flat say when pulling out onto a roundabout. Clearly the turbo hadn't spooled enough at that point. Looking forward to test driving the new version in due course. Your web site doesn't appear to list the new model in either of its trim levels unless I have missed something?

Great video, you are literally the only car channel to compare new hot hatches directly to the old model, and its fantastic. However...I think you didnt launch the RS3 properly, I think in a drag race the A45S would be just a tiny bit quicker and not 0,3 sec. But maybe Im wrong, the A45S has 21 hp more, you cant talk that away...lets wait for a dragrace :)
