Mercedes-AMG sends off CLA 45 S 4Matic+ with Final Edition
The Mercedes‑AMG CLA 45 S 4Matic+ will be discontinued at the end of the year. To mark the occasion, Mercedes-AMG is launching a Final Edition available in both Coupé and Shooting Brake body styles, each featuring an extensive array of exterior and interior upgrades. Riding on matte black 19-inch AMG forged wheels with a cross-spoke design, the Final Edition can be ordered in either Manufaktur mountain grey magno or night black uni. Both finishes are complemented by '45 S' lettering on the doors (in black or yellow) and yellow AMG logos on the exterior mirror housings. Other sporty accents include gloss black brake calipers, a silver chrome fuel-filler cap with 'AMG' lettering, dark chrome tailpipe trims and the AMG Night Package, which adds high-gloss black treatment to the mirror caps and trim elements. Customers can further enhance the car's presence with the optional AMG Night Package II or the wind tunnel-honed AMG Aerodynamics Package. The latter adds a more aggressive front apron with a bigger splitter and extra flics, a larger AMG spoiler lip (Coupé) or roof spoiler (Shooting Brake), trailing edges near the rear apron's air outlets, and a blade-style rear diffuser — all finished in high-gloss black. Inside, the Final Edition features AMG Performance seats trimmed in a mix of black man-made leather and suede, contrasted with yellow stitching. This stitching extends to the door panels, dashboard and embroidered '45 S' emblems on the headrests, centre console and floor mats. AMG-illuminated door sills with yellow lighting round off the bespoke treatment. Powering both variants is the familiar 2.0l turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine producing 310kW and 500Nm. Paired with an eight-speed AMG Speedshift DCT-8G dual-clutch transmission and the fully variable AMG Performance 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system with AMG Torque Control, the car accelerates from 0-100km/h in a claimed 4.1 seconds and tops out at 270km/h. The CLA 45 S 4Matic+ Final Edition Coupé and Shooting Brake will be available in select markets until the end of 2025. Pricing has yet to be confirmed.

CarExpert Choice winner: Best Luxury Mid-Size Car
The BMW 3 Series – including both the sedan and Touring wagon – has been named best luxury mid-size car in the inaugural 2025 CarExpert Choice Awards. It beat out the Genesis G70 sedan and Shooting Brake, as well as the Lexus ES sedan. The 3 Series is one of several winning models from BMW in our inaugural awards, joining the 1 Series hatch, and the X1 and iX1 small SUVs. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. For decades, the BMW 3 Series has been the benchmark against which other brands' offerings in this segment are measured. That's still the case today. It offers the sparkling performance and dynamics expected of a sports sedan from the Bavarian brand, as well as the slick technology that BMW has become known for in recent years. You can also still get the 3 Series with an inline six and a wagon body style, though sadly not together – unless you step up to the high-performance M3 Touring, which is tempting… Rivals have come and gone (or lingered without much success), but the 3 Series continues to stand tall. There's a reason for that – it's bloody good.
