Hottest of the lot are the 45 EV versions of each body style, which are believed to get a triple-motor setup that delivers at least 500 hp (507 PS \/ 373 kW).<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p>But it looks like the torque-vectoring motors aren&rsquo;t the only thing the wagon has in common with its notchback brother. We&rsquo;ve spied a deployable spoiler on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/mercedes-cla\/\">CLA<\/a> sedan prototypes, but now Mercedes has, ahem, <em>extended<\/em> the courtesy to the wagon.<\/p>\n<p>The wing at the top of the load lugger&rsquo;s rear hatch doesn&rsquo;t look as big as the one on the sedan &ndash; which is rumoured to double as an airbrake &ndash; or appear to extend as far into the airflow, but there&rsquo;s no doubt that it&rsquo;s an active, rather than passive aero device.<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AMG-CLA-45-scoop-00016.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image-block\"> <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<p>                    <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"\" alt=\" AMG&rsquo;s CLA 45 Is A Rapid Electric Wagon With An Active Wing\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1604\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AMG-CLA-45-scoop-00016-1024x684.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><figcaption>Baldauf<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>        <\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>We&rsquo;d normally only expect to see the wing extended at freeway speeds, so perhaps the test driver has pressed a button to manually raise it in this case, or has a track-type mode selected where the wing is permanently poking above the roof.<\/p>\n<p>Other giveaways that we&rsquo;re looking at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/mercedes-amg\/\">AMG<\/a> variant of the CLA wagon include the monobloc brake callipers behind the forged alloy wheels at the front.

A recent report claimed AMG was ditching the unpopular four-cylinder hybrid engine in the C63, and suggested the entire M139 2.0 engine family, including non-PHEV versions, would be phased out.
