These figures are provisional
The deposit, the excess and the mileage terms for this car come from our catalogue data, and we are confirming that data with the insurer while the fleet is finalised. Read them as the shape of the terms rather than as a quotation. What binds is your written quote and your hire agreement, and we check the specific car against the specific driver before you plan around it.
The deposit is refundable and held against a card in the hirer's own name at handover — it is not taken online and it is not part of the rate. Deposits, excess and driver criteria
About the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S 4MATIC+
Its hand-built 2.0-litre turbocharged four makes 415bhp, one of the highest outputs of any four-cylinder road car, and it reaches 62mph in 3.9 seconds. Your start date is confirmed with a partner before anything is committed.
A five-door hatchback that reaches 62mph in 3.9 seconds, with a torque-vectoring rear axle and room for four adults and their bags.
At a glance
- 415bhp from a hand-built 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder
- 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds, top speed 168mph
- 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive with a torque-vectoring rear axle
- Eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox
- Five doors, five seats and a normal-sized boot
What makes the A 45 S engine unusual?
It is assembled by one person at Affalterbach, whose name goes on a plaque on the cam cover, and it produces 415bhp from two litres. That is roughly 208bhp per litre, a figure that used to belong to motorcycles and racing cars. It revs beyond 7,000rpm and drives through an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, so the delivery stays sharp all the way up.
Is it fun as well as fast?
Both, because of the rear axle. Two clutches at the back can send torque to either rear wheel individually, which lets the car rotate into a corner rather than push wide. On a British B-road the useful part is traction: it puts 415bhp down in the wet without drama, which very little else at this price does.
What does it cost to lease?
A refundable £2,000 deposit and a matching insurance excess apply, and mileage runs at 1,000 miles a month with £1.50 a mile after that. The driver must be 25 or over with three years on a full licence.
Who leases a hot hatch at this level?
Mostly people who want a car they can drive hard without the running costs or the attention of something mid-engined. It takes four adults and their bags, it will sit at motorway speed all day, and the tyres are an ordinary size. It is the sensible way to run something quick.

These are insurance conditions for this vehicle, not preferences, so we check them when you enquire rather than on the doorstep.
Provisional. The age, licence period, points tolerance, deposit and excess above are being confirmed with the insurer while the fleet is finalised — read them as the shape of the criteria, not as a decision on your lease.
If you are under the minimum age for this car, or short on licence years, say so when you enquire. We will point you at something you can lease rather than let you find out on the day.

Questions about leasing the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S 4MATIC+
Can you lease a Mercedes-AMG A 45 S in the UK?
Yes, on a sourced basis. We arrange it through partners rather than supplying it ourselves, and we confirm a named car and your start date before anything is agreed.
Can I take the A 45 S on a track day?
Ask before anything is agreed. Track use is not covered by a standard self-drive hire policy and has to be agreed with the supplying partner in writing first. We will tell you plainly whether a given car can go on circuit.
How old do I need to be to lease one?
Twenty-five, with at least three years on a full licence and no more than six points. A refundable £2,000 deposit and a £2,000 insurance excess apply.
