Matte Green Mercedes-AMG CLA Caught Cruising by Lake Zurich

By The streetwheelz1 Team | June 16, 2025

Spotted on the lakeside streets of Zurich, this striking matte green Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 stands out not only for its custom look but also for what it hides under the hood. The CLA 45, built by Mercedes-AMG, is a compact performance sedan that combines everyday usability with serious speed. First introduced in 2013, the second generation (like the one seen here) has been produced since 2019 and continues into the present day.

Powered by a handcrafted 2.0-liter inline-4 turbo engine – the most powerful four-cylinder in series production – it delivers up to 421 horsepower in the S version, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just around 4 seconds. It features the 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system for improved traction and agility, especially in corners. Prices for a new CLA 45 S start at around CHF 85,000, but with custom paintwork, rims, and tuning, models like this one can easily exceed CHF 100,000.

Although not a limited edition in the strict sense, the CLA 45 remains relatively rare on Swiss streets, especially in such bold, customized configurations. It’s a clear example of how modern performance and style can merge into a unique street presence.
