Why is the AMG-CLA45 rarely purchased?
2 Answers
AMG-CLA45 is rarely purchased due to its high price, lack of practicality and comfort, and limited performance potential. Here are the specific reasons: Lack of practicality and comfort: While pursuing ultimate power performance, this car fails to balance practicality and comfort, making consumers prefer luxury mid-to-large-sized cars such as the Audi A6L, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and BMW 5 Series at this price point. Limited performance potential: Under China's road conditions, even the fastest performance car cannot escape dense traffic and speed limits. In such an environment, it is difficult to fully utilize the car's high performance, leading to generally low sales of performance cars.
The sales of the AMG-CLA45, this high-performance coupe, are relatively low, and I think the main reason is its high price, making it less accessible. The new models often cost over 500,000 yuan, which is a heavy burden for ordinary young people. As a compact car, the rear seats are extremely cramped, making it uncomfortable for family or friends during trips. Daily commuting also burns through fuel quickly—step on the gas, and your wallet feels lighter. Moreover, maintenance and repairs are shockingly expensive; replacing a single part can cost half a month's salary, and the resale value isn’t great either, depreciating significantly after a few years. In the same price range, alternatives like the Audi RS3 or BMW M2 offer more driving fun and better practicality. Plus, with SUVs like the Mercedes GLC gaining popularity, the CLA-45, as a niche toy, naturally attracts fewer buyers.
