Mercedes-Benz AMG A 45 S Vs Citroen eC3 FAQs

The ex-showroom price of the Mercedes-Benz AMG A 45 S 4MATIC+ starts at around ₹94.80 lakh. The on-road price in major cities like Delhi is approximately ₹1.05 crore to ₹1.09 crore, including all taxes and charges.

The AMG A 45 S is powered by a hand-built 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, known as the M139.

This engine is the world's most powerful series-production four-cylinder, delivering an impressive 415.71 bhp (421 PS) and 500 Nm of torque.

The AMG A 45 S can go from 0 to 100 km/h in a blistering 3.9 seconds, which is about the time it takes to read this sentence. That’s supercar-level acceleration packed inside a hot hatch, meaning traffic lights suddenly feel like drag race starting lines.

The top speed of the AMG A 45 S is electronically limited to 270 km/h, which is nearly three times the speed you’ll ever need on an Indian highway.

Yes, it comes standard with the sophisticated AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system, which features AMG Torque Control for fully variable torque distribution. In simple words, the car decides which wheel needs more power and sends it there instantly, so you get better grip in rain, sharper cornering on twisty roads, and a safer, more confident drive even when pushing the car hard.

The ARAI-certified mileage for the AMG A 45 S is around 12 kmpl, but real-world mileage can vary depending on driving style. In everyday city runs you might see it drop, especially if you keep testing that wild acceleration, while on longer highway drives with a steady foot you can squeeze out a bit more. Think of it like a balance, the more fun you have, the more fuel it drinks.

Yes, the AMG A 45 S has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating and is equipped with 7 airbags, along with advanced safety features like ABS and electronic stability control. In simple terms, it is built like a shielded rocket, protecting you from all sides while making sure the car stays steady even if you brake hard or swerve suddenly.

The AMG A 45 S is classified as a high-performance hatchback, which means it looks like a regular compact car but packs the punch of a sports car. It gives you the practicality of four doors and a boot, yet the thrill of leaving bigger cars embarrassed at the traffic lights.

The Citroën eC3 is priced from about ₹12.84 lakh ex-showroom for the Live variant, going up to around ₹13.54 lakh for the Feel Dual-Tone Vibe Pack.

The Citroën eC3 is a smart buy if you’re tired of rising petrol bills and want an EV that’s practical for Indian roads. It gives you around 10.9 km per kWh, which means less than ₹1 per km running cost. For daily city drives, that’s unbeatable value. Add to that its 320 km claimed range, compact dimensions for urban traffic, and a design that doesn’t scream “cheap EV,” and you have a car that balances early adopter cool with real-world usability.

The eC3 runs on a 29.2 kWh battery, with an electric motor producing about 57 PS (≈56-57 bhp) and 143 Nm torque. Its top speed is ~107 km/h. The claimed range is 320 km on a full charge (ARAI) under ideal conditions.

Using a standard 15-amp home charger it takes about 10 to 10½ hours (from 10-100%). If you use a DC fast charger the time from ~10-80% drops to approximately 57 minutes.

The eC3 is 3,981 mm in length, 1,733 mm wide, and ≈ 1,586-1604 mm tall depending on variant/roof rails. Wheelbase is 2,540 mm, ground clearance is about 170 mm, and kerb weight ≈ 1,316 kg. Boot space is 315 litres.

Claimed: 10.9 km/kWh Standard electricity cost we’re using: ₹9 per unit (kWh) So, 1 kWh → 10.9 km Cost of 1 kWh = ₹9 Cost per km = ₹9 ÷ 10.9 = ₹0.83 per km That means running the eC3 costs less than one rupee per km, which is cheaper than taking a shared auto in many Indian cities. So, a full tank of “electric juice” for the eC3 will set you back just ₹263, while a petrol hatchback would burn through more than ₹1,500 for the same distance.

The eC3 comes with: 1. Battery warranty: 7 years or 1.4 lakh km (whichever earlier) 2. Electric motor warranty: 5 years or 1 lakh km 3. Vehicle warranty: 3 years or 1.25 lakh km This long coverage is important because EV buyers worry about battery life. Citroën makes it clear: the eC3’s battery is designed to outlast your EMI cycle.

Resale is the big unknown in EVs today, but with fuel prices climbing and more charging stations appearing, early adopters will find good demand in 3–5 years. The warranty cushions you against big-ticket repair risks, so you’re not gambling your money.
