最近,国外汽车网站刊登了荷兰设计师Remco Meulendijk绘制的奔驰CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake合成图,这张图片是以最近拍摄的谍照为基础绘制的。相对于CLS，这款车的车身尺寸更小，价格也更平易，这主要是由于该车基于A级车平台，该车将填补奔驰在小型Shooting Brake车型上的空白。由于它的车顶线条更高，因此可为后排乘客提供更充裕的头部空间，同时掀背式尾门也更便于存取行李。该车将与其他“45 AMG”搭载相同的M133四缸涡轮增压引擎，功率不会低于360马力，扭矩450牛米并搭配四轮驱动系统。不过由于车身更重，其性能将略低于CLA 45 AMG，预计百公里加速时间4.6或4.7秒。

 

Mercedes CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake Rendering Looks Spot on

We are naturally talking about the upcoming Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake (X117), whose AMG variant was already spied on numerous occasions in the last couple of months.

 

As all those pre-production CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake prototypes were caught wearing a somewhat heavy camouflage, Dutch Photoshop artist Remco Meulendijk decided to have a go at creating a render of the model.

 

In essence, the CLA Shooting Brake, whether sporting an AMG badge or not, is a much smaller and cheaper entrance into the world of niche Mercedes-Benz models, such as the recently-facelifted CLS, despite the fact that some people will probably see it as a sexier station wagon variant of the A-Class.

 

Technically, they shouldn't be too wrong, as the CLA is based on the same platform as the A-Class, but in reality the Shooting Brake version should fill an even smaller niche than the “regular” CLA.

 

This comes despite the fact that thanks to a slightly higher roofline it should offer more headroom for the rear passengers, while the rear hatch should give better access to the luggage compartment.

 

As expected, the CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake will be powered by the same turbocharged four-cylinder as all the other “45 AMG” models, with the tiny M133 delivering no less than 360 hp and 450 Nm (332 lb ft) of torque to all four wheels.

 

Performance should be identical or just slightly worse than on the CLA 45 AMG, with the naught to 100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration time to be either 4.6 or 4.7 seconds.
