Set to go on sale during this year's holiday season, Mercedes has officially confirmed the CLA45 AMG will use the same running gear as the A45 AMG hatchback.

Aside from unique wheels and a revised lower rear fascia with an intergrated diffuser, it gets a similar look to standard CLA in the AMG Sport trim level.
