- Опубліковано 30 тра 2024
- This is the absolutely gorgeous Mercedes-AMG CLA45 S! Under the skin, it’s effectively an A45 S, including the same 2-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder as found in the hot hatch! It’ll put down 421hp and 500Nm, but if you’re not in the market for the boy racer vibes of the hot hatch, should you choose the CLA? Stick with Mat and find out!

Who else thinks Mat has the best job in the world, testing the best new cars!
Shmee has it better, with Mclarens Lambos and Paganis
*Mat
True. But, Henry does the best job in the world. ;-)
Hamza Bradaric doesn’t matter as long as they’re following their passion , which is a one sick ass passion , i mean who wouldn’t wanna ride sick whips for a living ?! ...
And selling them
Matt looks like he’s going to the golf course on Sunday morning with his boys lol
Mat looks like he badly needs a haircut. (Edit: - 1 t)
sick burn bro.
mat get a haircut
With his lads*
I think the car really suits it too 😜
Put it in drift mode:
Select race mode
Turn off esp
Put in manual
Press pedals
Take off pants
Call mum
Hope the moon is in proper phase
Very easy
Because a shit load of these will be written off if you could accidentally put it into 'drift' mode
I was lucky enough to get this. After 8 months in, I'm even more in love. What a stunning car
Hey if u don’t mind how much is service cost service a and b
@@driftyggs2609 Around 300 EUR in Romania for oil change, oil filter change and brake fluid. But authorised dealers in Romania are trash, last oil change service I did it myself at a friend's garage
Mat faking using his phone is some of the best acting I’ve seen
Next James Bond movie with Mat?😂😅
*He is very adventurous with his choice of phones, unlike most other people here.* *Always has a different android phone on him.* Doesn't just settle for an iPhone.

LOL! For real 😂
Watch this so I can buy it in 2050 when everyone else is flying in spaceships
😂😂👍👍👍
Bruh im really trying to buy this car with €200
At least u will reach ur goal in 2050, according to the oracle I will never be able to afford this car..
I don’t want spaceships I want these beauty’s from this decade
i’m getting a + model
Having said all that, this is just an absolute masterpiece, gorgeous jaw dropping design, astounding comfort and incomparable functionality... beautiful 🤩🤩
Find a daddy and he will pay it for you
Most beautiful side view of a car I've ever seen.
I dont know why there isnt C class version of CLA, if you know what I mean... CLS is too big but for some people CLA is too small, especially in the back so I dont get it why there isnt something like Audi A5 size

Although it will not make it stop quicker, the red colour adds an additional 30hp making the 3.7s 0-60 possible in this car
i like cars that stop on a dime
It adds extra break horse power
Ahmad Qadir well it should be 0-62 , 3.9 probably but still absolutely stupid quick... Good work Amg
@@ct4928
0-60 3.71s
0-62 ~3.8s
The Mercedes AMG CLA45 is a beautiful and powerful sport sedan. I like the vertical front grill and I like the beautiful digital dashboard.
Sport coupe. Mercedes says its a coupe. Anyone would guess its a sedan but Merc likes to all their 4 doors coupes aswell :P
So speed is measure in MPH, stopping distance in meters, gas consumption in MPG and boot capacity in litters, great mix of metric & imperial systems, as a Mexican I need my conversion table when seeing your videos Mat, best of its kind!!!
Kurt Wallach ah ah so true :)
Doing 0-60 in this class of car in 3.7s is insane.
I love how Matt is a really proper car reviewer and has eye for detail but also still cracks some jokes and some funny lines in between. It makes the review so much better. Good job on that Matt
Whenever i watch those reviews, i find inspiration for photography 🤩
The camera-men is doing great job!
this review is epic, amazing job Matt
Mercedes has done a good job at the rear. It looks much better than the previous model! (On the AMG, not really with the regular CLA)
Hi Matt, why don't you make an AMG cars drag race? A, C, E, S and G classes
Good idea
I reckon the E63S or the GT63S would win
@@naturallyawesome6723 I agree, though it will be interesting.
That's a great idea
Would be bery intresting because the e63s amg constantly puts out a slightly quicker 0 60 than the gt63s amg but the gt63s amg constantly puts out a faster quarter mile so its very interesting
This engine is intriguing. That is 3.7 to 62! From a 4 cylinder turbo! Very cool. I sure wish we got the hatchback version of this in the US.
You didn’t even get the cla45s in this video lol
I love the new timeline function, so you can see what is up ahead. Thanks for using it!
Matt it is a well known fact that red painted brake calipers give you more braking power 🤦🏽♂️
And racing stripes give you more aero. Dude knows nothing about cars
And red paint makes the car faster too
And all of the above will earn you more speeding tickets!
@@fatbikedaddy8644 yeah because we get speeding tickets for having good brakes.
Except in BMW where the red paint bakes off and turns a vibrant diarrhea brown.
Honestly my favorite MB right now. Compact, stylish and quick enough
Black Aurora Your favorite MB is a 4 cylinder? 😂😂😂
Get Money fourr cylinder that’s stronger and quicker than some v8s, it’s an awesome car
@@exoticwhipsbroadspipesandbags the most powerful 4 cylinder ever on a production car, I don't know what's wrong with being his favourite. And is bloody gorgeous inside and out so yeah...
@@SM-1010 it's not stronger, it has absolutely no room for upgrades while a v8 has tons of room regardless of which model, more displacement = better reliability
@@blazesmooth5573 stage on it pushes well into the 500 hsp mark on the normal cla45 amg now w the s version its even more lol fbo its making 700-800 easy so yes better than most the v8s plus it can get really good mpg which is an even bigger W
Great review as usual. Such a good description of the trick diff.
That launch with the dial view and boost!! 💯
Stunning performance for a 2.0 later engine, incredible brakes too!
Litre*
100-0 in 48m is great? 😂😂😂
pseudo_ 0-60 in 3.7 seconds. No idea what you are talking about. 48m...wha?
Steve he’s referring to how quickly it can brake from 100kmp/h to 0
@@ThePsEuDoAnOnYmOuS Not 100, 100 is 62mph and he did 70mph. That speed makes a big difference.
I think Mat Watson is the best Car reviewer on this planet. Good mixture of humor and always taking it straight to the point!
Can’t get enough of this car stunning on all sides interior is to die for
After watching hundreds of car wow videos,I have finally seen what the camera on the steering column looks at.
I always thought it was looking at Matt,but we never saw footage of his face straight on while driving.
Today he pulls it off TURNS IT AROUND and shows us the telemetry time.
So it's used to film the instrument cluster on the move 👍
Every day is a skool day.
Every proper AMG should be able to drift and go sideways and this can too🔥
Sorry to break it to you but a "proper AMG" needs a V8. Brand dilution is a disease but understandable from a marketing, and financial point of view.
bongmist so you’re saying that the official new AMG engines that will be hybrids will not be AMGs, even though they are manufactured by amg?
@@JosephiGoebbeli AMG but not in a traditional sense, I guess I'm just old fashioned :(
bongmist Welcome to 2020
But I think 35 43 and 53’s aren’t Real AMGs because they aren’t handcrafted by AMG.
But still they are great engines
I love what you guys have done with the whole sectioning thing in the video, that's pretty awesome keep up the good work.
Finally! I was waiting for the time stamps 🤤
Hey there Matt.. Keep up the good work.. You're videos are very entertaining...
I feel like this is preparing us for the 4 cylinder c63 :)
U mean 4 electric motors c63
This makes the C63 pretty pointless. Want a bigger car, go for the E class or an SUV type.
If the C63 has the same engine they will still be ridiculously expensive.
That car is going to be pathetic... 4 cylinders XD
OMG!!! More lying ass 4-bangers that scream through stereo speakers and come out sounding deep throated. None of these 4bangers will sound like the SRT 4 🤯
@@honestrunescaper C63 is going to be electrified. It will have 670 horsepower. Laugh now and you will cry later.
Been patiently waiting for this😊
Ur review are insane ! I had to subscribe to this channel. Oh my gosh this is my dream car.
I bought this car a month ago and Mercedes definitely outdid themselves with this car considering the price
@@fayahmad9063 this one has 116 more hp
My uncle just bought one too a 2018 and it's fantastic!
where tf did u find it, i can NOT find a cla 45 S amg for sale anywhere near me, and i want the S
@@aidansedore5182 not available in us like that. You will have to wait a little longer before they hit the us market.
@@Robin_IV_13that's wack
Oh how I've waited for you to do a Cla 45s review.
You can def tell. He’s a huge fan of this car. Great review!
Hey Matt, I really enjoy your overview-giving reviews! But there‘s one thing I‘d be happy seeing in the reviews as well: That is a short review of the cars‘ stereo-system! (not necessarily functionality in the infotainment system but rather actual subjective sound-performance)
Agreed
@carwow consider this
I love the presentation mate, been here since 700k subs.
honestly didint really like the old cla, but this new 45 became one of my dream daily drivers
No one:
Mat: Specialist Timing Gear
Mercedes are nailing it in the styling department lately 👍👌👌👌
Really enjoy your reviews....and you
make me laugh a lot too
Best car reviewer on UA-cam 🙂 really went into details for every car
I just fell in love at first sight, it is a beast of a car🔥
Iam ❤️ getting addicted to your reviews
That 4cyl produces more hp than most V8’s until recently. Mind blowing.
Ya that's why the new c63 2021 is going to be a 2 liter 4 cylinders hybrid engine sounds like a good idea for the car
@@mohammeduzayrkarolia5515 that's a shitty fucking idea a 6 cilinde can still produce more power than a 2 liter with a hybrid engine

He looks like a grandfather in a fast car
but this grandpa has a reaction time better than the YOUNG generation
@@satwick9420 lol
hahah dads couths
I love it
Hahahaha. It’s Mat
Think that might be close to the perfect car. Amazing power, amazing looks and amazing cabin. Lovely.
The most beautiful and best experience, thank you.
this man needs to be on top gear and then i will start watching it again
brilliant job mercedes! This car is absolutely stunning!
You guys hear the turbo whistle ?? Damn 🔥🔥

Sounds cooler than the “pops and crackles” so many guys orgasm over.
pretty gooooo
🤣 sound shit
Sounds pretty lame. Most of the engine noise inside is from the speakers too.
Meh😒
Great idea to split the youtube video timebar into named sections. Never seen this in a youtube video, excellent work, that makes it easier to review the sections you're particular keen on. Thumbs very up!!
Very good review. Best vehicle in it's segment and above.
Looks amazing, I have the A 35 atm but want this one next
One word to describe : BADASS
Damn the chapters thing is really cool!
Awesome video!
This cla is something 🔥
im in love with that thing, i need one
Matt’s working out again way to go!
Beautiful Mate !
This review convinced me to buy this car. Now I just have the waiting game while it’s built. Great video sir.
Just ordered one myself a couple weeks ago. I’m probably looking at June delivery if I’m lucky
@@anddudewaslike how did it go tho, was it whort it
@@gasti_musri lol honestly it's been kind of a waiting game. Allocation has been pushed back like 3 times, so still waiting on a build and delivery. Will update if it ever happens though lol
@@anddudewaslike cool man, surely its wort the wait
I just got mine absolutely love it!!!!!!
Great that Mercedes has finally released a rival to the class leader, the Fiat Croma.
They don't even make that anymore!! :D :D shame really because with the 5cyl turbodiesel engine it was a great daily and super comfy :) My friend let me drive his once and it was impressive!
Fiat Croma looks million times better LOL
Ha ha. You funny man. Fiat Croma!! Ha ha. Good one. Funny.
lol this car has made its own league
Fiat Croma??? 🤔🤢🤢
Looks awesome! The Mercedes just look all class.
great content as always
U talking to me
?
Such a great looking car! I'd almost take this over a C63S except that has a proper V8
Bmw M2🔥🔥
Not anymore
@@samkamarah5897 M2 is crap compared to this .. even the M3 ..
@@Seemashem2 and m3 would smoke this thing
@@sausagelizer4444 rubbish
15:13 Mat replaced his Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus with a Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018). What a Samsung geek Mat is
i feel like he has to be sponsored by samsung if he replaced his s10.. s10 doesn't need to be replaced yet.
i used to be a samsung fanboi but lately apples been killing it.
@tom lewis samsung>apple until samsung followed suit with the iphone X price tag of $1000
also samsung kept following apple with getting rid of the headphone jack.
if theyre going to keep copying apple then may as well just get an iphone.
however with apple releasing the SE im sure android oems & samsung will cheapen their phones too. so while ill say right now that apple is better. 2021 is when we can see their response to the SE. so apple being better may not last too long unless samsung fucks 2021 up like they did 2020.
Love the way you explain man top notch 🏁 love from india 🇮🇳
Good video, thank You!!!
This has to be one of the best looking Mercedes 🔥
Whoever said there isn’t a replacement for displacement has never seen this. 3.7 0-60 is a little mental for a turbo 4CYL
It's nothing new...Evos and STis have been tuning to 600-700whp and a 0-60 time under 3.5s tuned for a long time now, while retaining the 2L displacement and 4 cylinders.
James Pumphry?
@@iamthelaw69 Yeah but to see it from a factory luxury car with a 5 year warranty is new. Those old evo's were mental, they drive more like race cars, these new 2.0L hyper cars are pretty decent daily drivers.
I would still have a C43 over this.
TriHard Cx why would you take a c43 over this 😂😂😂😂 id take a cla 35 over the c43
Like the sliding feature on the videos to fast forward or rewind with the features being discussed throughout the video. Even though I watch the whole video it’s a nice touch
Damn !! This car looks beautiful ❤️
1:45 "not sure why you need extra the 4 cylinder on the c63"
well, apparently the 2021 c63 is gonna 4 cylinder soooo
Sadly 😔
Isnt that further down the line? I thought the next would have 6 cylinders like the e class amg
@@123lurmur nope EU regulations
No way this is going to happen. I live in Germany near Stuttgart, never heard about this..
Jack Jack it’s definitely happening. Tobias Moers threw a hissy fit in the meeting when it was decided apparently...not his problem any more though!
A stunning car! AMG never disappoints!!
Skilled Driver + a Masterpiece Machine = Perfection
I really enjoyed the video
1:44 you need the extra 4 cylinders of the C63 for the sound it makes :)
And the performance after 60mph
Wait till u realize that the next c63 has 4 cylinders
Fynn and the new g63 has a 1.2 eco boost AMG engine
Viktor Ahmed its not a Ford and its 4 litres not 1.2🤦🏻♂️
@@roli7271 it was a joke 😶🙄
I love this car. It’s awesome, sporty, elegant, I’m in love
Matt I swear you did this car justice on this review
Way more style than the hatchback. Lovely! Want one!!
Mercedes : Our car has a massive grill
BMW : Ya , What did you just say
BMW: say it again
@@tosifkhan5585 nice one 🤣
😂🤣😝😝
Lexus grill has them both beat on size.
I reviewed and drove the 2020 AMG CLA 45 and it was impressive. The all-new steering wheel makes the car feel very planted, stiffer and agile. Launch 🚀 control is spectacular and it’s drives way better than the AMG CLA 35. I think a section of the video is repeated 😁. Great 👍🏾 video Matt!
How about the exhaust sound? It sounds a bit disappointing to me from this video. Even the 45s don’t have the backfire sound.
Nice video!
I love this chanel. Straid to the point.
Matt rages at fake exhaust
Matt: so what exactly happened
I fkn hate fake exhaust when u pay so much for a car. I prefer M5 exhaust or Nissan GTRs exhausts
Joel David Waterslide lover Those cars cost way more...
@@Manuel-me1yi
Make up your mind...
All these cars belong to different segments.
You're talking about sport compact sedan, super full size sedan, and a supercar...
"If i buy you a drink , will you show me your crumb crevice?" " I think i'm going to get pepper sprayed !"
Those turbo noises😍😍😍
I love the way it goes on the outside
In my opinion the CLA looks better than the new E class especially coz of the front lights
Man this car looks freaking great. If I had the money I'd definitely buy one, meanwhile I'll be waiting for used prices to come down.
sub for the first video because of the great voice and great content!
It looks soooo good 😍
Mercedes just launched a performance pack with rear wing, looks... interesting
reminds me of the wing from the E46 GTR homologation car, but without the lip spoiler
This is exactly my spec in the same colour. THe only issue is that the UK versions don't get Heads Up display which is available in Aus. Truly amazing car and far improved from the previous gen (which i had).
I'll get mine in October 😭😁 I'm so excited :)
I really want to know your camera equipment. The video quality is just exceptionally good.
Kudos to the cameraman.
