The fourth member of the Mercedes-Benz MFA (Modular Front Architecture) platform hasn't reached dealerships yet, despite being publicly unveiled in September, ast the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.
We are of course talking about the Mercedes-Benz GLA, the new kid on the compact premium crossover/SUV block.
Designed to steal sales from the Range Rover Evoque, the BMW X1 and the Audi Q3, the new GLA has a pretty tough mission ahead of its early 2014 dealership launch, but one the most important points in this segment is represented by exterior attractiveness and the GLA doesn't exactly lack “look at me” details.
The model's design isn't the only connection with the compact A-Class W176, since both cars are part of the MFA platform, sharing engines, transmissions and even parts of their interiors.
The Brits from Autocar managed to have a passenger drive in a red Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 and you can check out their review for a better look at the new three-pointed star crossover/SUV.
