I’ve heard that the technology in German vehicles is 10 years ahead of the rest of world & it comes at a premium price I suppose.
i believe it mate this new one felt VERY VERY good!
@@RossReviewsau it's true
Audi is a leaving proof for that theory even theyre slogon saids it all
This review was up there in the top 10. The way you compared them and spoke about them. Amazing work.
thanks mate! i wasn't sure i nailed this one lol but always trying to get better..
Man a couple of beautiful cars there & to be that quick with 4 cylinders considering they weigh 1600 kg very impressive indeed Johnny,another great in depth review cheers mate.
Yes they are! insane performance
Ross.. I always look forward to watch your videos well done . Keep up your wonderful work.
thanks so much!
Awesome review Ross. I can't wait for my CLA45s to arrive so I can start making some epic content with it. Such a beast!
They are so nice man! Great choice
I watched your videos mate. One of the reasons why I bought mine. Just the base 2022, in the fun England.
This is a great review, ppl often sleep on the euro cars. A lot of them would give our V8 muscle a hiding.
Another great review.
100% i was shocked this new one would easily keep up if not win!
Great review Ross! I LOVE the new cla45s. You helped with my decision making.
Glad I could help!
@@RossReviewsau Thanks
Picking up “the right one” Tuesday - cant wait
Your reviews are getting better with every upload! Likewise, I would love to own one myself if money permitted! Cheers Jono...
thanks brother.. appreciate the kind words
I have been searching for this video because the first time I viewed it I went and ordered the full 45s 4matic plus in digital white and it arrives next thursday. Just want to say thanks because I got a bargain considering what you get with this supercar and it is a supercar. I have now subscribed 😊👍
Thanks 🙏 glad you enjoyed the video
Awesome review,I have the 2013 model and love it,hope to upgrade one day..cheers Ross that was a great watch mate from all the way over here in NZ.
thanks mate! they are awesome love the old one too the pops n bangs are so good.. def get a new one tho if you can one day!
a quick question bro. how much do you spend on repairs in like a year? all the things that need to be done in a year.
@@skatereliasvid I've owned my car for a year and haven't spent anything on it yet. All cars can end up costing alot of money so I wouldn't let that sway me from buying a car you want.
I've spent thousands on repairs on all my cars so this doesn't bother me..its fun to drive so thats the winning point🤟🏻
@@axeman2478 thank you for the response, i totally agree with you. at the end of the day its about the experience.
May i ask i wanna buy one is it a stiff ride ?
Nice review dude, these are both fun cars. Can’t wait to see you drive a 213 e63s because they are next level…
Great review
Thanks mate
Interesting too see your thoughts. ive driven the cla45amgS to me there is a big difference between the two. Gotta love Amg, although i have a 2012 ssv ute 😄
gotta love an amg but equally gotta love a SSV UTE!
I have the 2021 CLA45 AMG. his review is on point. I would trust this guy. I love how they put them side by side.... the new one is fucking insane. INSANE! lol
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed the review! Both amazing machines
I second your recommendation! I was fortunate enough to have owned both the pre-facelift and the facelift A45 AMG, and recently upgraded to the A45s and the latest iteration, as you say, is much more powerful than the previous ones. The A45s is a different beast ‘coz driving it in “Comfort” mode is like driving the facelift A45 in “Sports” mode, so I don’t feel the need to switch to “sports” mode anymore. I also find the A45s to be much more refined than the previous gen with better quality damping. The pre-facelift version was fun but it had the habit of being a bit hesitant when driving off, which was resolved in the facelift version. I can’t wait to run-in the A45s to test some of it’s capabilities.
thats great! glad we had a similar take on it.. the new CLA45S is just better in every way.. insanely quick
jayagong you are comparing your stock old cla with your new s version this new one is already with increased power from factory,obviously it will be quick that is why when you tune the old version it goes beyond 400+ bhp mark easily upto 430 440 to be precise...then you should see the difference of comfort mode in old one im sure it will compete very closely with the new one...in Malaysia there is a guy named mike yep who owns a garage and dna tuning performance he does some crazy upgrades to old ones a hybrid turbo upgarde air filter suspension and a custom tune after that old cla behave like a completely different beast i have seen some of his videos on cla 45 amg upagrades shifting top end crackles all changes sorry for my english im little careless while writing english..
I have a 2013 Cla 45 in mountaingrey metallic .People keep asking/commenting about that car alot and when i tell them how much i paid most people dont believe it.
Got it with 35k km now its at 90k km Never had Problems with it except the left front Proximity sensor likes to go off when its raining alot.
Jon these comparisons are bloody sick mate keep em coming. Love me a good merc but as a bogan I just couldn't see myself in one even if I won the lotto. Never underestimate a 4 banger with a snail on the side! I had one that could spin the wheels in 5th gear rolling at over 100kph was pure bonkers haha. I still have that motor n box sitting in the back yard I might just have to fit it to a datto or Rolla and get that little motor back on the road #CA18 the world
glad your enjoying them mike! you would have loved this 4 banger if you ever were to love a 4 banger haha.. fully skits!
Does the new one have the slight throttle lag at low speed? Love your vid man!
what kind of review is this you are comparing old cla 45 amg stock car with new cla 45 amg s that too loaded with downpipe full system exhaust with a custom tune and you are saying its quick,i mean a true comparison would be when you will tune up that old black cla 45 to stage 1 with aftermarket air filter custom exhaust or maybe a stage 2 tune then this comparison will be on its mark you do that and drive both cars go for ipe exhaust or army trix you will see how old cla will roar with loud bangs...
l've got a 2018 model, these cars are no joke coming from owning evo's skylines in the past these cars grip and handle amazing the crackle and pops hit different real head turner. avg service cost 1-2k per year.
Would you still get one in 2022? I‘m torn between a 2018 CLA 45 and the 2020 45s
@@bausus6180 l would 100% buy the new style lcd dash interior.Only thing l don't like about the car is the race suspension its a track car so expect to feel a lot of the road.
The older one looks a lot more aggressive and angular in comparison to the newer model!
I prefer the look of the original
Ross, you should do more comparisons like this. (For example: Holden vs Ford).
That would really stir up the crowd...
looking to do exactly that!
@@RossReviewsau Yes, I'm excited for that comparison!
I’m getting mine next week. Be keen to know what exhaust system the new CLA you drove has. Thanks!
nice work they are great cars you will not be disappointed, ill see if i can find out
@@RossReviewsau Picked mine up last Thursday. It is absolutely insane! Best car i've driven!!
Did you find out about the exhaust by any chance?
@@harrykohli1214 is it a stiff ride im lookin to get one
that new one looks INSANE!
i love it
Just bought a CLA 45 AMG for 37k AUD at 81k Kilometres, loving it!
Very nice!
What's the expected servicing cost in this kms range?
Cant fucking wait to get mine
I can afFORD to buy one but sadly not able to own one with insurance and general upkeep.
Good job Jon.
yes maintenance is expensive with anything euro and performance.. gotta pay to play tho i guess
Would have been better to compare it with the 381bhp 2017 Cla45.
I am buying of of the 2022 cla 45s soon
does anyone own this car and what are their suggestions & recommendations as i need advice ?
Big like
glad you enjoyed it :)
Can you tell us more about the exhaust mods on the new one please?
i can ask the owner
@@RossReviewsau Please do Ross as I have one of these on order and would be keen to make it sound a bit better. Thank you.
I'm interested in the exhaust mod made as well. I have the 21 version and I'm desperate to get better sound out of it 🙏
In Poland A/CLAs used to have not a best reputation of barber's ride. This is of course coming from BMW and Audi funboys. This made them pretty affordable and now the price difference between healthy CLA45 and slightly used A45s is huge. Even double. This schanges the situation. A45s is super-capable car but considering price of used predecesor is actually even better bang for buck. Both are very good but naturally A45s is a bit more mature and faster tthan old A/CLA. From another hand lifted CLA45 Shooting Brake is the prettiest incarnation of all of them. BTW - you have pre-lift CLA45 in comparison with weaker engine and way less responsive tranny. Still A45s is significantly better but as used one CLA45 is decent.
comparing a old cla 45 stock vs new cla 45 s that to too tuned plus with upgraded downpipe still old cla stock did 5 and new cla s version tuned did 4.57 I'd say old one is doing better job still being a stock do a stage 1 tune install a downpipe in old cla 45 then this comparison will do justice.
I test drove the new CLA 45 yesterday. It was so much fun to drive! That older one sounds like someones farting in a can.
The new one is the better car
@@RossReviewsau I bought the new one
Which one is more comfortable for daily drive?
New one of course 😅
I love how your accent is like American and Australian lmfao
🇦🇺🇨🇦👏👏👏
I prefer the old one... much cheaper come with the pop and bang👍
Love the crackle eh
Can u get heated seats in the rear?
Yes
Bought mine last April. Too bad we don’t get the S in America. It’s still fast and fun.
great cars.. a shame you don't get the S tho
Launch control great boost to the Dealer and a new engin
we do have red seat belts for the 2020 cla45 s
must just be an option he missed
Do you know what kind of down pipe it was?
sorry not sure ill ask next time i see him
0:13 which one should ya buy? Which one can i afford? Neither! Problem solvered :)))
HAHA! im with you on that mate.. im lucky enough to drive them doesn't mean i can afford them tho
The regular ones the basic cla 250 you both can afford
That back in white tho 🥵
🔥
The older model looks better and would suit a barra upgrade.
haha imagine not sure you could fit a barra in one but man would be cool lol
@akai tv You need to go get your eyes checked.
So fast it sent him into duck face mode
Should have used the facelifted cla45 with 280kw 475nm.
old vs new.. plus i take what i can get as a small youtuber
Bro you can’t compare a new tunes 45s to a stock 45.. the new ones can get to 500+hp on just a stage 1 tune without any hardware upgrades, no intake or anything that this one has. The old ones can be tuned 425+ off just a stage 1 tuned as well and are currently way better value. For $125,000 you can buy a 2018+ E63s lol
I will never change my 2017 GLA45 for a new one…no freaking way !!
love the old noise
What’s the difference with the engines?
Ones twin scroll ones a big single turbo
@@RossReviewsau Which one is better for aftermarket modification? Same block and head? No differences other then the turbo? Fueling the same?
@@RossReviewsau they are both single turbo
which one gets the face lift?
i want that power
It's great to make a video to compare the two, but asking the question "which one should you buy" is kind of redundant. Even without a video the answer is simple, if you have the money for the new one, buy that. If you don't, buy the previous one. The new one is simply better in every way (apart from the exhaust sound). But it's also twice as expensive.
But I understand it's fun to make a video comparing the two.
sometimes the new cars are worse.. in this case it's definitely not haha. C63 W204 vs W205 well...
the lag on take offs is the worst
yes its really noticeable in the older one
Ugh u should of compared the 2017 same aero package
if i had the chance i would have
Great review, love your honest feedback and energy. 👏🏾👏🏾🦾💯
I appreciate that!
This review is great! Hope I will detail that kind of car here in Saudi Arabia soon! Pls pin host
Thanks glad you liked it!
Does those pops sound came from the original exhaust ? If they are that would be so good! Btw really enjoyed watch ur video !
upgrade downpipes the owner told me.. sounds so good eh
Older CLA sounds so good but looks so cheap lol
Agreeed still sound amazing
2:16 that’s not a wing! 😂 also what’s with the air quotes when they are fake?😄
its a lip "wing"... im saying the exhaust tips are fake
Super car price
its expensive no doubt about it.. but honestly for 120k its probably one of the most luxurious, most capable, fun new cars you can buy at that price
the best design is on cla 45
Surely cant be better than an AU ? 😜
nothing beats the AU.. maybe the F6 thats it lol ;p
i got my 2014 cla45 amg for 32k not a bad deal in my opinion
Not bad
@@RossReviewsauis it still good to go for older than 2017 or something? I plan to buy a used one as a first car for daily drive, I prefer the old backlight design than the new but I started to get second thoughts. I mean the interior of the new one is so good but I don’t know if the exterior is my type 😅
Is it just me but does anyone else hate the farts between gears - needs more gun shot bang IMO
I agree bro, sounds like it’s clapping tin cans in between gears🤣
Young guys in their chipped Golf GTi doing fart changes around the shopping centres. I got race car they say
@@jethrox827 hahahah Ns bro lil boyz need to get themselves a v8😈
Crackle tunes are the worst
im not a huge fan but depends.. i like these cars but some BMWs that get them tuned in i dont like
5 seconds launch control? My 2017 pre FL ( NO MODS ) did 4:58 and I couldn't get it right every time. Plus you used 2% more of a slope on the new one. Sorry, but you lost me completely when you slyly mentioned all the mods on the new CLA.
there are no mods done to the old one.. there where 3 people in the car, and it was a ruff country road.. 5 seconds is bloody good i say!
@@RossReviewsau I meant the mods on the NEW CLA. I have driven the brand new stock one and it sounds like a Toyota Corolla
@@swdoctor i did say stock they sound worse than the old one..
Im pretty sure the new 45 has a twin turbo
You get that 80hp plus for 800 bucks bro….dont burn your money every 4 years
not just performance your upgrading to tho..
@@RossReviewsau you can buy nice interior parts of carbon Fiber and so on. You can use the new steeringwheel and use it……and all that for a percent of that Price
@@RossReviewsau its still an stupid s class you are upgrading my ass.
New looks better and is faster
Old sounds better stock
Yup spot on
How about reliability
they are really reliable its just that the gearbox is its weak point on the older ones
2014*
Good review but that thing is no where near a super car or can even keep up with them.
On a very windy road I feel like it could but this was tuned.. glad you enjoyed the review
The new mercedes cla45s must be similar performance to the Toyota Supra
i would say this was better! a lot better.. but yes i would say in general very comparable
Ok thanks
@@andrewzuiderduyn3159 lmao don’t compare a Supra to my car pls, its insulting lol
Ok Then
The old one is nicer
Sounds very good
This was a stupid video......45 more hp and an eight speed duel clutch tranny.............there is no comparison. Too bad the 45s isn't available in the US. I own a 2016 CLA which has all the goodies, including the carbon fiber package and rare, here in the states, race mode.
This guy literally is showing that he’s in love with the new one then the old one, and wants to say anything that doesn’t make sense about the old Mercedes. “Btw that Mercedes doesn’t look old”
? this comment confused me
What kind of question is this
Is the new ones with the money? N yes yes it is
Ross Reviews you’d obviously go with the new one. It’s a completely different class of car now
not the same engine ,
your correct its the M139, successor to the M133.. i might have made a mistake their if i said it was the same
Except 2014 cla 45s are only 25k with 75k mil3s
This comparison was done in Australia 🇦🇺 so the prices are much higher
@@RossReviewsau oh yeah that's right, I didn't notice your accent.
Yeh I’m Canadian but live in Australia 😂
Biased
How so
New one is ugly
Each to their own
