Mercedes-Benz CLA45 2016 Video Review

Peter Anderson road tests and reviews the 2016 Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 with specs, fuel consumption and verdict.

Mercedes has been at great pains over the last few years to connect the dots between its all-conquering Formula One team, the AMG tuning division and its road cars.
