- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- THE POCKET ROCKET IS BACK!! Welcome back to RBR guys and today we are finally driving the New A45 S on the road!! It’s been an awesome build up on RBR with first the drifting preview in Sweden and then engine production in affalterbach leading to now the road review of what AMG are calling the super sports cars of the compact class!
Links to those videos here:
A45 Drifting - • NEXT AMG A45! Mr AMG p...
Engine Production - • New 2020 AMG Engine! E...
So let’s do things the RBR way and start from the beginning! Back in 2013 AMG did the unprecedented and entered the hotly contested hot hatch market, with a small 2 cylinder turbo 350ish BHP all wheel drive A45. Despite initial fears, the original proved itself one of the most accessible, fun and loud AMGs. Quickly it became a leader in the compact class and the horsepower wars insued with Audi’s RS3, and BMW sitting pretty on their untouchable M2.
AMG proved that this mix of small turbo engine with their signature big engine character, and flagship styling was super attractive to customers! The facelift built upon this raising power and adding a diff to the front.
In the new gen A Class, a much more grown up car inside and out, the first AMG to come was of course the A35. Essentially nigh identical to the previous a45 in its format, with a 4 pot turbo, haldex all wheel drive system bused to the front, the same brakes and thus a shared driving feel.
BUT where does that leave the A45S?
Well it’s a totally new beast in every single regard - It’s got a new M139 4 cylinder engine with 421 BHP in the S, A New 8 speed gearbox, more rigidity, new suspension, Unique body size BUT most importantly: a new 4 wheel drive 4matic+ system completely different to before! Allowing drift mode like the E63 S and GT.
But has it made a big enough difference? Do you feel the power, and how have regulations effected sound? And is it still useable daily!?
Today we explore:
- The First A45 AMG 2013 W168
- The New A Class update
- The AMG A35 4matic
- New AMG A45 S Model
- The new Engine and Gearbox
- Rigidity - aluminium sheer panels, struts etc

Hope you guys enjoyed that first look!! Car is damn fast and agile. Having driven old and new, this new one only needs an aftermarket exhaust to be twice the car, and worth the price! And I intend to do something like this. 😍
Remove Before Race great review raz well worth the wait ! Been told brabus already on the case regarding exhaust 🤬keep up the great work
Will you bring a Review to the CLA45S?
@@laszlopapp81 for the sound of the exhaust it is not Mercedes who is responsible but the European legislation
Could you tell me what software you use for your videos?
Why didn’t you talk or apply the AMG real sound you spoke about 😔?
I’m gonna level with ya. No other car review channel comes close to the level of detail and visuals that this channel provides. Leaders in the field by a mile. Keep up the good work 👌🏽
i agree with you
@@maambojjchooka5560 Agreed. I am interested to see how many millions subs will this channel have.
Amazing how when you say 2-cylinders it's so convincing
i started questioning myself lool
Ahmed Saeed me too
😂
It's truly amazing how far the A class has come. From the boxy small 1st gen model with that plastic interior to this monster.
How true!
Daniel Sadjadian yes, the first one looks like the type of car your granny will drive.
The dude in the background at about 7:00 lol stole the video.
AHAHAHAHAHA
Only downside is the sound is now quite thanks to the EU. A remap and exhaust mod will be needed for all of them ! Incredible performance though.
It does sound like an old standard EVO 4-5-6 or Delta Integrale now, a more natural 4 cylinder sound.
Car wow and you. The both reviews I've been waiting for 😂👌
car wow is top notch
When you remind that the M177/M178 V8 was two 4 cylinders M133 merged together...
We can easily imagine a new generation V8 created from two new 4 cylinders M139 merged together who will be unveiled inside the next generation AMG GT coupe and roadster and AMG SL.
AMG pocket rocket king 🔥
RS
Previous A45 definitely sounded better. Just needs an aftermarket exhaust and/or ECU remap for the pops/crackles. Otherwise a fantastic car 🔥
Daniel Sadjadian does the ECU remap actually works for pops/crackles exactly like the previous A45 OR Aftermarket Exhaust because I know how AMG Exhaust sounds
@@babatopeogunmoyero9515 depends who does the ECU remap. I'd imagine companies like Brabus and Renntech will be able to refine the pops/crackles so it sounds like OEM+. But there are a lot of aftermarket tuning companies that go overboard with their ECU maps and end up making the car sound like a riced up Civic lol. Stick with the big German tuning companies and you'll be fine in my opinion.
Agreed. Hopefully it will be easy to make it sound good.
Daniel Sadjadian remap will not help coz there is OPF installed. You should to remove it also from an exhaust.
Jacobs Monarch how is it possible, could you explain
Mr. AMG I love your car reviews dude, I KNOW you'll soon reach 1 millions subs. Your content is perfectly executed and informative. Thank U man.
Wow - this is quality content. You are very talented. Keep up the great work. This channel will grow to millions of subscribers. Great production quality!
Just waiting for the CLA45 Review! Keep up the good work🙏🏻
The model on 5:15 is perfect, nice color, rims, grill, and no ugly spoiler!
You mean 2 liter not 2 cylinder right? 😂
FFS 😂😂
@locouis this is the second A45 range
lol
He means 0.528344 Gallon for the US viewers.
YASS another classic review 👌🏽 hats off to you and how far you’ve come! Sending Lots of prayers and success your way brotha! 🙌🏽
I agree, minus the aero pack looks fantastic especially in magno grey.
Great video as always mate 👍
Love it. Although my A35 arrives this month, so maybe next time :P
nevarran does ECU Remap works for pops and crackles or what do you think
Congrats :)
@@babatopeogunmoyero9515 I have no idea, mate. And I'll probably be too afraid to touch anything on the car for the first couple of years :)
Congrats and enjoy! I got mine last month and love it. I got it in black and made it look like the A45 Yellow Night Edition.
A35 is amazing, too! :)
If this come up behind you on the motorway you would genuinely think it's a GT 4 Door.. and that's not a bad thing lol
If I bought this car I would definitely install an aftermarket exhaust
i will🥰
Hey Mr. AMG,
Years ago, when I worked in the City, I forsook Porsches, Ferraris and their ilk, to have one of the first 50 Integrales to come into the UK. Just when I’d ordered a 16V, I was made redundant. Later, I bought a second hand Inetgrale Evo, but I sold it for a more practical car. (I won’t say what it was, because it was embarrassing). I’d love to see you compare the greatest, most successful Rally car (in terms of WRCs and race wins) of all time, go head to head with the AMG 45S. You must know someone who has one! Come on make the video!
I really appreciate you showing the overlays on the A35 and wing and what not that really helps
At first I was disappointed when hearing the reviews of this sound, but hearing you 'play' the exhaust has shown that at least there's something to work with. If the engine is as strong as everyone is saying, all it needs is a tune to make it a monster - something I have no doubt we will be seeing. Having a 1.6 tonne car with 'only' 420hp has shown you don't need the craziest power figure to have fun - something which, with 4Matic+ and hybridisation, might well usher in an all-new era of AMGs.
At this point it would be a dream come true to see AMG develop an all-new 4.0 V8 based on two of these engines strapped together... With eleven years to go before the demise of internal combustion, it's something that's actually possible. To make the last shout of the petrolhead as glorious as possible...
As ever a brilliant quality of review. Keep it up Mr. Raz.
Its not quad pipes lets be honest carwow determined it was just 2 pipes
What a shame
AMG is always been like that... all models are the same pretty much.. and if they have dual tips they are not connected to the fancy looking exhaust
It’s great seeing AMG fans attempting to justify the sound of this car. It sounds like a Fiesta ST with artificial pops and bangs added.
Mr Daniel Knight sounds like an old school Datsun 😂
Mr Daniel Knight sounds shit! For the price of a A45 would defo get a C43 coup with a V6
i only had enough of money for a180 :D but i am happy with it :)
You should be happy, because i think you have the 2018 model or 2019 and the interiour is amazing compared to other cars , i want to buy the a250 but its little bit expensive unless i sell my bike
Hand-e-ling 👌🏻😄 Love your vids and love this car. You’re the best car reviewer on yt hands down! You talk about stuff that people really wants to know 😎👊🏻 greetings from 🇸🇪🏁
Fantastic video about the new super hot Mercedes A 45 S AMG! A new star is born!
This guy deserves much more subs!
Stop.. RBR time!! As soon as I see your upload.😂👍👌
Great review as always. Regarding the car, the sound is a massive let down and u keep saying that u can always go aftermarket. The problem with that is that with the new laws, aftermarket exhausts can't be lauder than the stock ones... That sound feeling is a big part of a sports car experience and destroying it means that part of the fun is being lost.
I wish they could have fitted a lightweight 6 cylinder beast in this thing . I used to own a 2017 45. the 4 cylinder sounds great but a 6 would have more torque .
aero pack in yellow or red or Matt grey perhaps
nice pedal start by the way
I have the new 2018 A250 with AMG Line (FWD). It’s a damn fast, fun and exciting car.
I can only imagine how badass the A35 AMG is.
And I can only imagine how utterly insane the A45/A45S AMGs are!!! 💕
Christian W judging by how they both sound theirs not that much difference between urs and those in terms of sound .
This is an upgrade from my BMW M135xi. It will be on my shortlist when I go car shopping in a couple of years.
YES Buy it! Phenomenal
I was soo convinced about the 2 cylinder engine that I searched in google if it was real. But by the way, incredible video.
Nice review dude. Seems like a nice little car. Very well put together bunch if info. Cheers
7:02 lol
Love your animation and how you show the difference between models. Made me subscribe after just watching one video 👍
I now love this generation of a45 its a beast too!
Amazing car. Faster than both bmw 1M's (the old and the new one, specially the new one)
7:00 This is what I came for.
My MK7 Golf R has about same power out put and NM, so this new AMG A45s would be a shit load of fun !
That sound is so depressing
As always you are the BEST in reviews. I love this car.
Instant transmission sfx = Instant respect and subscribe. I like your style lmfaoo
Nothing compares to an AMG.
Just discovered you. Great quality videos. Subscribed. 👍
I really love the details you go into in your review videos... I really want to like this car... but meh just have no soul... I would also like a less bias review as well... maybe compare this to it's rivals...
Looks well composed on the track
These videos are so clever you deserve more subscribers
Very good channel.
Good work.
I was waiting for this review 🔥
Drift mode, track mode, suspension to break your spine. What’s the point? At the end of the day it’s a fast little hatchback which after about a month most will think what on earth did I buy this for.
Not a month... after 6 months lol. That's how I was with my A45 FL lol
Why don't you use the left paddle shifter for loud start, it also activates it
mg2999 he did lol
@@stephentran6874 he didnt. With left paddle during start it will do an emotional start if the engine is warm. It sounds insane
When you think a45, you automatically think of those bangs on the upshift. This car has definitely lost some soul like no jokes mahn...
Quality reviews ! Love it
Great review
I am working very hard to get my hands on one of those CLA45s Shooting Brakes
Pls when are we getting the cla45 review?
Brilliant video! Keep up the good work!
The sound reminded me with the VTEC era BRO
Great vid! Looking forward to the CLA 45 S vid!
CouId it get any better? 🚀🔥 no way!
It’s a brilliant car don’t get me wrong but I’m sorry I can’t justify spending £50k on a hatchback
Come to oz and spend 80 plus
Think of it more like a super car in a hot hatch body 👌🏻 15 years ago Porsche turbos and Ferrari’s did 0-60 in around 4 seconds.. this does it in 3.9.. for a fraction off the cost 😎
INTENZO RC ACTION True, but you can get a £50k c63s and I know what I’d rather have
Those rads behind the lower front air intakes look vulnerable to rocks.
I need this car ❤️
love your videos, as previously stated, however I have a suggestion...…….when you show a car`s facelift you have a white flash that flashes across the car, showing pre facelift/ post facelift, could you not slow down the feature so it takes perhaps 1-2 seconds so you can clearly see the old model compared to the new.....just a suggestion.
previous gen exhaust sounds loads better this new one is tame af
Fantastic video. Great work
I want to drive this motor ...Fkin awesome whip
Haha that photobomb @ 7.00
Ordering this car without the aero pack is lunacy. Absolute must have. Looks a but normal A-class without it.
Great review, you made me want one 👍🏻
Great review 👍
Michelin tyres .....excellent.....impressive interior
What a review 💯
Inside is sick tho
Excellent review. If it comes to the U.S. it’ll have a ridiculous price but thankfully will loose half its value in 4 years.
Yep, just saw online that we're only getting the CLA45 sedan...too ugly for me.
So Jealous of you guys across the pond. Why can we not get this in the USDM ? Dammit!!
My friend took his a45 2013 to Mercedes as he thinks they put the wrong motor in his as it has 4 cylinders and they said “ you got two engines for the price of one” so now he has put one in the shed for spare incase the other wears out.....
I’m not sure whether to go for the a35 sedan or CLA. Which is better do you think?
How does steering feels compared to an RS car or an M2, weight and responsiveness. Some AMG cars have little feel and overly light.
Imagine the old A45 with all this new technology, performance and interior.
So the new one?
@@JamboWillzyx No. This new A45 is horrible to look at unlike the old one. but its interior, performance and technology is far more superior.
Agree mate, just as it is....
You may as well save your money and buy a Prius for how quiet it is! You'll spend £45k + extras then have to spend another £2k on an exhaust you can actually hear. Only to realise it just sounds like any other 4 cylinder engine I'll keep my RS3.
but this eats the rs for breakfast on any corner. the facelift rs has straights covered at least
My question is it better then the rs3 and is that m139 engine gonna last 250000km without breaking after well taking care of
Can they not just remove 1 hp so we could have 420 hp
Grandpa would be enthused for this little monstre(osity): fake interior wroom wroom noise and quiet exterior, fake drift mode ruining the grip, subpar brakes (and I do believe Chris Harris), yet lagged DCT gearbox... how can they not make one clutch close as other other opens up? You still get torque/pull drop under full acceleration, bumpy ride, shiny plastics everywhere, IC with no lid and full of reflections... 60s style steering wheel, ridiculous turbo badges and aero kit, in a few words a Grandpa's favourite!
BTW: I wonder whether the engine could last as long as the brakes under load...
After what Chris Harris said I'm not convinced it's all that good.
Fort decades, I always wanted a BMW...but Merc has finally over the last 5 years(?) has shed the "old senior" label and designing edgy tech cars i want over BMW, which I feel ahas stagnated like Audi.
amg indeed has made mercs desirable to people who aren't 60 plus. it was merc for rich OAPs and honda jazz for not so rich OAPs!
@@andyp8464 thst is so true, later designs on the amgs have changed my mind, im in the market for a nissan gtr, audi rs3, 4 or 6, the supra 2020, but finally after looking very very much into them all, consider everything from the starting cost to the maintance to how well the driver feel will be to the engine reliability overal, not only at the start which comes with the hype, but also after a while, and im really into this one hothatch right now, still looking more into it though but im leaning on this one
With the new electronics, is the exhaust configurable in individual mode? Can it be programmed to be open automatically?
great color and nice car but I am not sure the upgrade from A35 to this model is worth the extra cash for me. I would be more than happy in a A35.....
Definitely an improvement from the old a45 amg , but I wonder what this will do against the new Audi RS3
Lazikur Rahman Beats RS3 0 to 60 by 0.3 sec
Patrick O'Connor what’s the link to prove this
As usual a great review Ras. Just a shame about the sound of the car.
Thanks for another great review.
Do you have, (or can get) any news on a GLA 45s being available?
Thanks.....
Watching this video has made me wish i could get excited over these modern performance cars with their wide screen tellys and buttons for fart sounds and fake trickery to act like a rwd car. I just want a simple proper drivers car with a manual that doesn't cost the earth with around 250bhp. Hopefully Hyundai brings out a cheap sports car in the near future and takes us back to something more analog..
this guy is a madman lol how does he get all these cars good stuff tho
Dude is as fast respraying the car then gta 😆
We want the CLA review
