Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the Edition R and R+ models, enriching the compact AMG lineup with a blend of bold styling, advanced aerodynamics, and performance-oriented features. This introduction marks a significant expansion of the Edition R range, previously established with the C 43 and GLC 43 models. The Edition R treatment now extends to the AMG A 35, CLA 35, A 45 S, and CLA 45 S, aiming to elevate their performance credentials and unique personalities.
The Edition R package is now available on select models, including the AMG A 35 4MATIC Hatch and Sedan, as well as the CLA 35 4MATIC Coupe. These vehicles feature the AMG Aerodynamics Package, comprising a rear wing or spoiler, a larger front splitter, aero flics, and a diffuser blade finished in high-gloss black. The exterior is further accentuated by 19-inch black AMG alloy wheels and red brake calipers, enhancing the visual impact of these performance-focused models.
Inside, drivers will discover ARTICO/MICROCUT upholstery with red contrast stitching and AMG aluminum trim, combining a premium feel with performance-oriented design elements. For enthusiasts seeking a heightened experience, the Edition R+ specification is exclusively available on the AMG A 45 S 4MATIC+ and CLA 45 S 4MATIC+. Alongside the Edition R features, these high-performance variants boast AMG Performance Seats and, for the first time on the CLA 45 S, a fixed AMG rear wing for a motorsport-inspired aesthetic.
Pricing for the Edition R models starts at $86,200 for the A 35 4MATIC Hatch, with the range-topping CLA 45 S 4MATIC+ Coupe Edition R+ priced at $129,300. Orders for these models are now open, with prices inclusive of GST and luxury car tax but excluding on-road costs and dealer delivery. The Edition R and R+ packages offer visually striking and dynamically enhanced options in the compact AMG segment, solidifying Mercedes-Benz’s presence in Australia’s high-performance car market.
Expanding its plug-in hybrid lineup, Mercedes-Benz has introduced the GLA 250 e in Australia. This compact SUV pairs a 1.3-liter turbocharged petrol engine with an 11.5 kWh lithium-ion battery, offering a blend of performance and efficiency. The launch of the GLA 250 e contributes to Mercedes-Benz’s commitment to providing a diverse range of electrified options to cater to evolving customer preferences and environmental considerations.
