The fourth model based on the MFA (Modular Front-wheel drive Architecture) platform and the fifth crossover/SUV in the Mercedes-Benz lineup, the GLA has been unveiled at the 2013 edition of the Frankfurt Motor Show.
“For deserts, mud and steep hills, we have the true mountain boots of off-road vehicles in the Unimog and the G-Class,” says Dr Zetsche. “On top of that, we offer the right equipment for all sorts of outdoor activities with the GL, ML and GLK. And now, we are expanding that line-up with the new GLA. It is the trekking shoe in the Mercedes line-up.”
With a both elegant and sporty look, the new GLA is not only pretty, but it's also the most aerodynamically efficient vehicle in its class. On top of that, the intelligent 4Matic all-wheel drive system and the torquey and very fuel efficient engine range is sure to make it one of the top alternatives in the premium compact crossover/SUV segment.
The GLA can be ordered from the end of November, with dealerships getting the first deliveries in 2014, while the US market will be reached in Autumn 2014.
