What it's like
Driving the Mercedes-AMG A45 S here
A hand-built 421 hp 2.0L turbo — the most powerful four-cylinder in production — in a pocket-rocket AMG. Ferocious pace and all-wheel-drive grip for the KL streets.
In Malaysian terms: it seats 5, it has 4 doors, and the gearbox is 8-speed dct, so there is no clutch pedal to think about while you are also adapting to driving on the left. It runs on RON97, the yellow pump, which is available everywhere and costs a fraction of what you pay at home. Every rental leaves us with a full tank and a loaded Touch 'n Go card in the holder.
It handles Malaysian roads without drama: enough ride height for the speed bumps, enough boot for real luggage, and composed on a wet afternoon.
