The driver and the front passenger are seated in contoured seats that give firm support. The standard upholstery of the vehicle is a combination of black MB-Tex and DINAMICA microfiber, which is timeless and highlights the typical AMG features, with double topstitching in red. The color scheme is also mimicked by the red designo seat belts and the dashboard trim in black DINAMICA microfiber, accented with a red border. The chromed air vents are also upgraded with a red ring. As an alternative, you can choose for the upholstery to come in MB-Tex in neva grey/black with mid-grey double topstitching and light-longitudinal-grain aluminum trim.

MBUX Infotainment System:

  • The combination of sporty design and sophisticated details is also featured in the MBUX infotainment system with its innovative operating and display concept. MBUX creates a tight-knit connection between the vehicle, driver, and passengers.
  • Visually, the two displays, under one shared glass cover, blend into a widescreen cockpit with maximum-resolution 3D resolution.
  • The customer can choose between three AMG display styles: "Classic", "Sport", and "Supersport", for the instrument cluster.
  • Via the AMG menu, the driver can call upon various different displays:
    • Gear display - with yellow "M" symbol in manual mode
    • Warm-up menu - engine and transmission oil temperature
    • Set-up menu - AMG DYNAMIC SELECT settings
    • G-Meter - longitudinal and lateral acceleration forces
    • Race-timer - stopwatch, lap, and sector times
    • Engine data - output and torque, engine oil and transmission oil temperature

  • The voice control that is activated with the words "Hey Mercedes" is also on-board in the new Mercedes-AMG CLA 45.
