Abstract
- Power shuffle AMG has fitted the GLA 45 S with the same 4Matic+ all-wheel drive system that is used on the A45 S. using a pair of multi-plate clutches on the rear axle to move power to whichever side needs it most. The GLA is simply more focused and capable, hiding its SUV design with hatch-like dynamic characteristics, capable of higher-highs than the RS Q3 on tarmac at every turn. Your official warning: if you see a Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 S or Audi RS Q3 lurking around the bottom of a twisting mountain road, do not try and outrun them unless you are packing a serious piece of equipment. Though it disguises its weight adequately, the Audi's body control can't match the AMG's, making its SUV nature more prominent than the GLA. [Extracted from the article]
