12/11/2023 0 Comments Mercedes subcompact suvIts a perfect Luxury car and practicable enough for a family of a couple with a kid maybe. Overall I love this car but do not expect a 7 seater family SUV here with lots of luggage space. The sunroof and the smaller moonroof are awesome and give a wide view. My average for the last 2000 km I have driven including highways, city and keeping the engine on with ac running at times has given me a little more than 7kmpl till now. Expect very good mileage on the highways of about 10-12 kmpl, but in crowded cities do not expect more than 6.5-7 kmpl. Stunning looks from exterior, and very comfortable front seats with lumbar supports and electric adjustments. Do not expect lots of boot space but with the back seats down it is more than sufficient if required. Features like the active brake assist and attention assist really helps keep a driver safe and engaged, its like a two-way communication while driving this car. Lots of features inside with a good infotainment system. The petrol variant has got excellent power and a very communicative engine and steering, it gives you a very satisfying feeling of the drive. The GLA competes against the Audi Q3, BMW X1, and Volvo XC40.įor a person who loves to drive around his own car, with a small family of 2,3 this is the perfect luxury segment compact car. The SUV is comes in five paint schemes – Cosmos Black, Denim Blue, Mountain Grey, Polar White, and Iridium Silver. The Mercedes-Benz GLA is a five-seater compact SUV. Other features include electrically adjustable front seats with memory function, wireless smartphone charging, two-zone automatic climate control, a panoramic sunroof, and 64-colour ambient lighting.

Meanwhile, the Progressive trims get a beige and black upholstery with an open walnut combination on the dashboard. The touchscreen system is powered by the NTG6 generation of MBUX with the latest software and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Taking the centre stage is the two-screen setup measuring 10.25 inches each for the infotainment and the driver’s instrument cluster. The cabin of this 2021 GLA has been revamped to bring it on par with the bigger siblings in the family. The lower half gets heavy plastic cladding with a touch of chrome that lends it a sporty look. The split units narrow down towards the boot lid in a typical Mercedes fashion. The rear gets the familiar sleek LED tail lamps. The GLA sits on a comfortable set of 18-inch alloy wheels surrounded by squared-off wheel arches. Although the fog lamps have been given a miss, the front bumper now sports a bone-like pattern along with a three-box bash plate at the bottom. Up front, there is a single-slat horizontal grille flanked by revised LED headlamps. This gives it the much-needed SUV appeal that was lacking in the older model. The petrol guise is mated to a seven-speed DCT while the diesel version gets an eight-speed automatic transmission.Īppearance-wise, the 2021 GLA is now taller, bigger, and has increased ground clearance over the previous generation model. The latter is also available with an all-wheel-drive configuration.

The GLA was launched in India in May 2021.
