Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) has launched the 2023 Mercedes-AMG A45 S facelift, priced at RM 509,888. Previously, the A45 S was priced at RM 481,888.

MBM is also offering the 2023 Mercedes-AMG A45 S Street Style Edition for a limited run, which goes for an additional RM 30k at RM 539,888.

In line with the exterior revisions for the A-Class family, the 2023 Mercedes-AMG A45 S facelift gets revised front headlamps with new LED DRL graphics, the AMG-specific radiator grille and the new, and round badge with the AMG emblem instead of the Mercedes star with a laurel wreath.

Exclusive to the AMG A45 S 4Matic+, the AMG Night Package includes selected exterior features finished in high-gloss black. In conjunction with the AMG Night Package the AMG Aerodynamics package has been developed in the wind tunnel to improve handling at high speeds and provides the basis for even greater driving enjoyment. The AMG A45 S 4Matic+ also has a panoramic sliding sunroof providing ample illumination to the cabin.

The AMG look is underlined by the new 19-inch wheel design, the rear spoiler lip, revised rear headlamps and the twin-flow exhaust tips.

Performance wise, the powertrain is unchanged from before with the M139 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine making 421 PS and 500 Nm, mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. 

Power is channelled to all four wheels via the 4Matic+ all-wheel drive system. 0-100 km/h is claimed at 3.9 seconds and tops out at 270 km/h.

Inside, there’s a new AMG Performance steering wheel with AMG steering wheel buttons, with which the driver can control AMG-specific features such as the three-stage ESP or AMG Dynamics. The familiar AMG performance seat is now also available in sage grey colour.

The rest of the interior sees minimal changes. The latest MBUX system with AMG themed displays has increased performance and the integration of the fingerprint sensor.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity is supported, while audio is piped through the Burmester sound system. There’s also more USB charging power and the touchpad has been deleted.

The AMG Street Style Edition comes exclusively in in Manufaktur Mountain Grey Magno and the edition-specific foiling with colour gradient in black/anthracite matt and colour accents in fluorescent orange.

The interior of the AMG Street Style Edition is recognisable with contrasting orange stitching paired with AMG trim in dark/orange Street Style Edition aluminium.

The 2023 Mercedes-AMG A45S gets the full suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) with:

• Active Distance Assist Distronic
• Active Brake Assist
• Active Lane Keeping Assist
• Active Parking Assist with Parktronic
• Blind Spot Assist
