I agree only for the increase price, in italy it cost 4k more than the previous. But now you have new steering wheel, new front and rear lights (i like them more than the pre-facelift), second gen. MBUX, full usb-c ports and even the sound of the engine is changed.
@@DArgenio96 My friend do you know for a fact that in Italy it's only €4K more than the pre-facelift? I'm actually interested in this. In Germany it's nearly €10K more (and €11K for the CLA 45S).
@@hotdognobunclearly you don't know whats going on. Nobody wants an electric. Its not green, not enough material to build full electric. The grid is not build for all electic. If you want to sell your car after a year the dealer doesn't want your car at all! Or you lose serious money. There are not enough charges as well. Takes too long to charge it full plus in some countries they have road tax by weight so people don't want a heavy car. And in some countries like USA, electric is way more expensive to charge than gasoline. Do you even know how much evs are at the dealership right now!? They can't get it sold! So no, hybrid yes, but full electric is not the way. Companies will go bankrupt if they going this way. Ford lost a lot of money, so as VW. They stopped the production because of the worse sale.
Totally agreed. If you have a prefacelift, keep it. Removing the touch pad, removing some ambient lighting etc is all just cost cutting. It's not an upgrade. It's a downgrade.
This facelift is better and i tell you why. 1)They removed the touch pad because a touchscreen is way better choise. 2) I personally prefer the front and rear light of this facelift. 3) they have added the usb-type c. 4)The sound now is so much better than the pre-facelift. I don't understand why for you this could be a downgrade, i mean that's a lot of improvements.
@@DArgenio96 If you have the ambient lighting in the dash, it should be in the doors as well. There isn't an option to not have it in the doors and to then add it.
@@DArgenio96 1) Having a touch pad gives additional choices. And as you can see from a lot of comments, a lot of people used it. Me included when I had a long term GLB loaner.

Because if touch screen was a better choice, they would've also removed it from the facelift GLE and the GLE still has it. 2) the front lights having 1 strip is cost cutting yet again because the module that looked like a tick would be more expensive to produce. 3) the previous model did have USB C already.

I’m a Mercedes fanboy but I’ve been M.I.A for a few years with this brand, they’ve lost focus and direction over the years. RS 3 Sportback Vorsprung is winning an A 45s AMG, BMW X6 M Competition is winning a GLE/GLC etc. I hope they gain sense next year!
@@donsicariofx Young people are mostly not in the position to buy a Mercedes for over 100.000 bucks, maybe not even for 10.000 bucks, so an A-AMG 45 is out of range.

Now show me "young people" who get a loan, a financing for such a car. Even with a running business, Mercedes wants to see your balances and will check your bank-account, before they even give the green light for the loan. "Young people" have seldom a regular cash-flow and will likely not even get the loan. That's why they have to pay 100% cash and without the moneys, there are no ponys. 100.000-bucks-hothatches and young people do not match, that's why you see so little.
I have the pre fl a45s, tried asking mercedes from where i live, they dont sell the dark chrome badges. I live in Taiwan and the fl version only came out last month. What a bummber, the dark chrome badges are the only thing good about the fl imo.
What i don't understand is why people driving this car must accelerate always like crazy and squeeze everything out of the engine. Can't this car be driven normal ?
My explanation, at least in Germany is, that the people that are throwing most of their available income to drive this car want to "show" it off. Their entire personality dictates that, otherwise they would've opted for a more fuel economic and cheaper Toyota. So in short "because they have to get satisfaction out of something that costs them almost everything"
Sorry, I was looking to get an A35/A45 but this video hasn't put them in great light due to the obvious bias...firstly, the AMG A35 and AMG A35h are cheaper, secondly, the lack of a track pad is not enough space for a phone or other gadgets as one, it is too small a space and two, not very secure as they go sliding around the front of your car if you brake...Please ignore this review and look elsewhere, somewhere less biased

The only thing missing here is the cracks and bangs of the 2016 A45. Otherwise it's a fantastic car this.
