As we were telling you a few weeks ago, Mercedes-Benz has the most aerodynamic vehicle range on the planet, with no less than seven different models that are the most efficient at cutting through air in their respective car segments.
Well, it turns out that this information is no longer correct, and we apologize. When that material was written, the Stuttgart manufacturer hadn't announced the Cd figure for the GLA compact crossover/SUV, mainly because the car hadn't even been launched yet.
Meanwhile, the GLA and most of its technical details have been unveiled, and Mercedes-Benz just announced that its smallest crossover has a Cd value of just 0.29, making it the most slippery car in its segment and the eighth aerodynamics champion in the German manufacturer's stable.
Obviously, this info is of great importance when it comes to the minimization of wind noise at high speeds, not to mention the lower fuel consumption, since the car will have a lower air resistance than all the other compact crossover SUVs in its segment.
