Even though it won’t be hitting the streets until sometime in 2014, the Mercedes-Benz CLA sub-compact sedan has been spotted by spy photographers for quite some time. Now, we have our first glimpse of the hotted up CLA 45 AMG sedan, thanks to the spy shooters over at Carscoop.
It has only been a few weeks since the full reveal of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class and already its been handed over to the lords of power at Mercedes-Benz’s AMG tuning division.
Set for dual unveilings at both the Shanghai and New York Auto Shows is this near production-ready example of the next Mercedes-Benz A-Class. While the last-generation A-Class was more of a mini MPV (minivan-like profile, minus the sliding doors and room for five), this new model looks decidedly more like a premium compact hatch in the same vein as the Audi A1 or Mini Cooper.
