We’re big fans of the Mercedes A45 AMG hot hatch. With 355bhp from a hand-built 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, four-wheel drive, a sublime chassis and lovely interior, what’s not to like?

On paper its performance is near identical, and it weighs just 35kg more, so is it just as good to drive? Watch the video to find out.
