Used Mercedes A45 AMG
Blending high performance with practicality, you'll get the best of both worlds with one of these. The A45 AMG was first launched in 2013 as the most powerful version of Mercedes’ A-Class hatchback range, setting new benchmarks for hot hatch performance. Over time, it’s become famed for its explosive power, four-wheel drive grip and up-to-date safety tech. The latest generation, the A45 S, introduced in 2019, takes things even further, offering over 415bhp from its turbocharged 2.0-litre engine. Compared to rivals such as the Audi RS3 and BMW M2, the A45 AMG stands out for its mix of stunning performance, everyday comfort and Mercedes refinement. Recent updates have kept tech and safety levels topped up, making used models especially desirable for buyers who want a sporty car that’s safe and practical too.
