Final Form, First in Class: The Mercedes-AMG® CLA 45 S “Final Edition” Arrives in 2026

The Mercedes-AMG® CLA 45 S “Final Edition” 

The 2026 model year marks the swan song of a bold and unmistakable machine: the Mercedes-AMG® CLA 45 S “Final Edition.” This ultra-limited variant of the already-rare AMG compact sports coupe fuses handcrafted engineering with motorsport-inspired design. At Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale, a premier Mercedes-Benz dealership near Scottsdale, we’re proud to introduce discerning enthusiasts to this farewell model that delivers peak performance and design distinction in one extraordinary package. 

Power and Precision in the AMG® CLA 45 S “Final Edition” 

The Final Edition stays true to the AMG ethos by featuring a handcrafted AMG 2.0-liter turbocharged engine—one of the most powerful four-cylinder production engines in the world. Built under AMG’s famed “one man, one engine” philosophy in Affalterbach, Germany, this powerplant produces a fierce 416 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. It rockets the CLA 45 S from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.0 seconds while maintaining poise through AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive and AMG TORQUE CONTROL, which actively distributes power to each wheel for optimal grip—or controlled drift, should the mood strike. 

Paired with the eight-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT® DCT-8G transmission, the CLA 45 S “Final Edition” delivers fast, responsive shifts in every driving mode. It’s a drive you feel—not just hear. 

Details That Set It Apart 

Visually, the Final Edition makes a statement before it even moves. Offered exclusively in MANUFAKTUR Mountain Grey Magno, it features dramatic yellow and black contrast graphics, distinctive 19-inch matte black AMG forged cross-spoke wheels, and gloss-black brake calipers adorned with white AMG logos. Even the fuel cap gets the bespoke treatment with a silver chrome finish and AMG branding. 

The model’s standard equipment package is both extensive and performance-focused, including: 

• AMG Night Package Plus with gloss black and black chrome exterior elements 

• AMG Aerodynamics Package Plus, which enhances high-speed stability and style 

• Enlarged front splitter and flics in gloss black 

• Fixed rear AMG spoiler and lateral airflow blades for a more aggressive rear profile 

• AMG-specific diffuser blade in gloss black 

Inside the AMG® CLA 45 S “Final Edition” Cabin 

Stepping inside reveals a cabin focused on the art of performance driving. Yellow contrast stitching flows throughout the black MB-Tex/microfiber upholstery, creating visual drama across the AMG Performance seats, door panels, dashboard, and steering wheel. Branding on the headrests, floor mats, and even the center console badge reminds you that you’re inside something special. 

Furthermore, the AMG Performance steering wheel features a blend of Nappa leather and microfiber, finished with aluminum trim and yellow AMG graphics. Yellow-illuminated AMG door sills finish off the interior with a confident glow.
