The GLA comes two years after Mercedes launched the latest A-Class, with a capital ‘A’ for attack.

As the fourth A-class derivative, after the A-Class, B-Class and CLA, the GLA SUV comes from a long-line of incredibly well-built cars. All come with the same basic chassis and front-wheel drive alignment.

Since last year, it is reported that 18,000 models of the car have been bought in the UK with a staggering 7 in 10 new to the big German brand. So, they must be doing something right.

The specs of the most popular version (220 CDI) are as follows:

Weight – 1.55-tons

Top speed – 134mph

Top speed- 8.3secs

Fuel consumption 42.8mpg

Engine size- 2.0l turbocharged

It’s quite an impressive vehicle, I’m sure you’ll agree. I’ll post some good links out for your research.
