Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 with Triple Motors Priced at €80,000

Mercedes-AMG has officially opened order books for its all-electric CLA 45 4MATIC+, a performance model that stands out with three axial-flux motors. The car is available in both sedan and Shooting Brake body styles, delivering up to 500 kW (about 680 hp) from its tri-motor setup. In Germany, pricing starts at roughly €80,000, making it a direct rival for other high-performance electric sedans in the premium segment.
The CLA 45 represents AMG’s shift toward high-performance electric mobility. The axial-flux motors are a key engineering highlight, offering higher power density and efficiency compared to traditional radial-flux designs. This allows the car to maintain impressive acceleration while keeping weight in check. AMG says the model combines everyday usability with track-oriented capabilities.
Customers can configure and order the CLA 45 through Mercedes-Benz dealerships or the brand’s online store. The Shooting Brake version adds a touch of practicality without compromising the sporty DNA. While the price tag positions it as a premium offering, the combination of three motors, advanced battery tech, and AMG’s tuning expertise justifies the premium for enthusiasts.
As the market for electric performance cars heats up, the CLA 45 could set a new benchmark for how traditional automakers leverage electrification to enhance driving dynamics. With its dual body styles and €80k starting price, it aims to capture buyers who want both sustainability and adrenaline.
