Review of the Mercedes GLA 45 AMG Specs

The Mercedes GLA 45 AMG will be equipped with the most powerful series-production four-cylinder engine in the world to date which packs around 360 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque said the report. The 1,991cc turbocharged vehicle can go from zero to 62 mph in only a span of 4.8 seconds. Then, its top speed will be electronically limited to 155 mph.

Mercedes stated that the combined fuel efficiency of the car is 37.6 mpg with carbon dioxide emissions of 175 grams per kilometer.
