Yahoo Autos 2023 Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 Edition 55 continues AMG celebration
Mercedes-Benz is celebrating AMG's 55th birthday with a quite a few special models, the latest of which is a commemorative version of the CLA 45 sedan. Limited to 55 units for the American market, the Edition 55 model stands out from the standard CLA 45 with a specific design inside and out and a longer list of standard features.
AMG's history isn't as straight-forward as it may seem: it was founded in 1967, and it remained independent (though heavily focused on Mercedes-Benz models with a small handful of exceptions) until it joined DaimlerChrysler in 2005. Fast-forward to 2022 and the firm, which is now called Mercedes-AMG, operates as a full-blown sub-brand that has developed a couple of cars from scratch. The CLA 45 Edition 55 celebrates this heritage with Cosmos Black Metallic paint, AMG-themed decals on the bottom of the doors, and 19-inch cross-spoke wheels.
Every Edition 55 model comes standard with the Aerodynamics Package, which adds a body kit that includes a front splitter and a trunk lid-mounted spoiler. AMG also added the Night Package and the Night Package II, which bring an array of black exterior trim and emblems.
