Mercedes-AMG is waving goodbye to its current-gen CLA 45 S with a ‘Final Edition’ encore, which gains various exterior and interior modifications for a bit more sugar and spice. It won’t be coming to Britain, however. C’mon, Merc.

Anyway, the package will be available for both the coupe and shooting brake body styles in the US of A, and includes 19in forged alloys, a large vinyl along the flanks and some neat little yellow accents.

You’ll also get the option of an AMG aero package, which brings a dinky rear wing, a larger front splitter plus a revised front apron, and a blade diffuser out back. The exterior can then be sprayed in two finishes: ‘Mountain Grey Magno’ or ‘Night Black Uni’. Pretty sure we had some of the latter while at university, too.

The cabin gets even more yellow, with stitching along the leather and microfibre seats, the Nappa steering wheel, door panels and instrument cluster. It actually works pretty well with the red ambient lighting.

Otherwise, the Final Edition will be familiarly CLA: a pair of 10.25in screens gelled together, many 'buttons' on the steering wheel and those fancy air vents. We’re still not bored of those.

The 2.0-litre turbocharged four-pot still sends 410bhp and 369lb ft of torque through an eight-speed DCT ‘box. That allows for a 0-62mph sprint in 4.1s, on the way to a top speed of 168mph. The 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive can also split its torque, sending extra power to the rear axle for more dramatic sideways action.

Pricing is yet to be revealed, but we do know that the Final Edition will only be available until the end of 2025. That’s when the current CLA is discontinued outright, and production of the new generation ramps up.
