Why lack of Dynamic PLUS Package?

Is there any CLA 45 with AMG Dynamic PLUS Package? I can't see any car available with that package.

Why wouldn't dealers order the car with the Race and Drift modes enabled? They seem to be the most fun features in the car.

Priced way to high compared to competition....70K for a non S model! I'm a huge CLA45 fan....had 3 of the previous gen but MB really missed the mark on pricing and also not bringing the S to the states.

By selecting the Dynamic Plus Package you are basically getting a CLA45 "S" but with a little less HP (which a simple stage 1 tune will take care of...LOL).

You get Race Mode, Red brakes, Drift mode, etc...

So I wonder what the pricing would have been if they did bring the S to the states...kind of like the difference between C63 and C63S?

I hear what you're saying with dynamic plus and a tune. I still would have preferred if they only brought the S over and maxed it out around 70K.

we dont get an S in the US.. I can discount it some but its a great build.. still $20k less than a decently loaded C63S that has perf seats and everything that the dynamic plus package adds.. outside the extra HP you got everything, 4matic plus (drift, launch, the delimited mph etc..)

I think I like the CLA45 the most outside the E63 wagon and AMG GTR's... its so awesome

I agree and I was fortunate to recently drive one (not an "S" because I am in the states). My buddy is a salesman for MB and they have two in stock but they are both "Shop Sales"...meaning they have some sort of recall but the GM allowed me to drive one because of my buddy.

The one I drove was $73K. But did not have the dynamic package. However, it was pretty loaded...AMG Seats, Full leather, Aero Pkg, Night Pkg, etc.

I have to say the car "Hauls ***"...it was very quick between the 4matic and DCT. No turbo lag at all... And this is coming from someone who currently owns a tuned 2018 C63S coupe pushing over 600hp (crank).

Also the sound is pretty good "Inside" the car. Outside it is fairly quiet but does pop & bang a little under load.

Just my quick review.

$73K is definitely getting into AMG C63/C63S territory. I'm looking at a used '18 AMG CLA 45 right now, but that is only $41,000. If I'm going to spend over $60K I'm definitely cross shopping other vehicles, and not just within the MB AMG line up.

To each his own as they say and I have never driven a C117 but this C118 is a pretty badass car.

Again the $73K C118 I drove had options I am not interested in from a performance standpoint and my build was less than $70K and included the "Dynamic Package".

That is the good thing about cars, there are so many out there and they come in some many different levels of performance, refinement, and purpose. I was just saying that for $70K and up (and perhaps over $65K), that kind of money brings other vehicles into play with similar or better performance, creature comforts, tech, etc. At the other end, I was actually looking at used AMG GT's, not too long ago, but due to other financial needs coming up for my family, I've had to pare down the cost of another vehicle to replace my ATS-V Championship Edition. That's why I was looking at this '18 MB AMG CLA 45.
