If you want the ultimate CLA, you want the 45 S. This is the fastest model in the range and comes with an AMG rear apron and diffuser as well as an AMG spoiler lip for that escaped-race-car look. Red brake callipers and 19-inch alloy wheels add even more purpose the CLA’s styling. On the inside, the sports seats are upholstered in artificial leather, and there’s a twin-screen MBUX infotainment system.
