Mercedes-AMG A45 S Final Edition

Mercedes‑AMG announced the limited‑edition A45 S 4MATIC+ Final Edition in late July 2026, presenting it as the last model of the high‑performance hot‑hatch line. The car keeps the 2.0‑litre M139 turbocharged inline‑four delivering 421 hp and 500 Nm, with a 0‑100 km/h time of 3.9 seconds and a top speed limited to 270 km/h. Special exterior touches include a Manufaktur Mountain Grey Magno matte paint, exclusive 19‑inch matte‑black forged wheels, black‑out door handles and brake calipers, and an AMG Aerodynamics Package. Inside, the Final Edition adds ARTICO leather‑microfibre seats with yellow stitching and AMG‑branded trim. Mercedes‑AMG cited the upcoming Euro 7 emissions standards as the reason for ending production of the A45 S, noting that adapting the M139 engine would be costly.

A week later, the German market details were released. The base A45 S 4MATIC+ was priced at €73,929 (incl. VAT), while the Final Edition carried a surcharge of €6,075‑€10,191 depending on options. Orders opened on launch day, and the model was positioned as the ultimate expression of the hot‑hatch segment, highlighting AMG’s most powerful production four‑cylinder engine.

Overall, the two updates trace the announcement, specification highlights, regulatory rationale, and market rollout of the final AMG hot hatch.
