With all-wheel drive and a massive turbo punch, the A45 AMG is the hot hatch giant killer that followers of Mercedes-Benz had long been waiting for. If you want a devastatingly quick hatchback that can do it all, this is where you should start your search.

History
Just how far can you take a hot hatch? In terms of price? Performance? Traction? Quality? It's an interesting question. In 2013, Mercedes tried to provide us with a definitive answer in this A45 AMG model.
There had back then never been a Mercedes quite like this one. The Stuttgart brand's AMG performance division had never previously built a hot hatch - and never previously breathed upon engines as small as four cylinders in size. Historically, it had never seriously dabbled with the brand's most compact A-Class model either, a car about as sporty as a couch potato in its first two generations of life - but very different in this form.
The MK3 model had a more dynamic DNA from the very start: this A45 was intended to be the ultimate expression of what it could offer, launched in mid-2013 and aimed at a far younger breed of customer from the AMG norm. An audience impressed by the fact that beneath the sculpted bonnet lay a hand-built 360bhp 2.0-litre turbo unit billed as the world's most powerful four cylinder engine in series production. With 450Nm of torque transmitted to the tarmac via a 4MATIC 4WD system, it threw down a challenge that was tough for the opposition to answer. The car was lightly facelifted in 2015, when it gained 'Mercedes-AMG' branding and an uprated 381bhp version of its 2.0-litre engine. This car sold until early 2018.
