If you retire before the Mercedes-Benz to start off the platform you are only few car enthusiasts, Jörg Prigl, Mercedes' vice president in the compact car product group, FWD / AWD every body style imaginable right mind think says it is designed compact car platform and start with the powertrain Since, from the three-door hatchback and diesel SUVs for pure electricity. The trick, he says, "If the correct order to improve consumer trends and trust them to know what is coming." In theory, can provide input at a low price to the consumer scale data sharing platform for the economy. We be announced later this year when the official pricing GLA, numbers'll bet you will land in a place a little north of the CLA.
The same, but different
With shared components, such as his brother rides CLA and GLA may be suspected arms and would be right. GLA while the suspension settings CLA obedient but a little mannered responses satisfied, Mercedes followed the same path conscious. But such stability control and electronically controlled AMG variant mode for functions such as driving Sport maps were recalibrated for many GLA-private use. Drive safe enough entries delivered immediately, but little feedback about the tire contact patches compact SUV makes its way into the hands of the pilot rudder directly. Again, despite the GL-Class is a joy to zip around the city and sharing from 106.3 inch wheelbase with CLE, a compact SUV shortened length (sedan more plump approximately eight inches) feels more agile.
GLA250 most modest acceleration is impressive, if not consistent, but the twist 258 lb-ft at 1200 rpm to 4000 rpm to come and hang facilitated by the fact that a hard pull readily available, there is. seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (all models only transmission offered GLA s) of torque and delivers only get this vast resources allocated to the most aggressive throttle downshifts necessary applications. Mercedes' 7.1 second 0-to-60 times quoted us some conservative voices for four-wheel drive version, and we're betting should fall below seven seconds in our hands.
GLA45 performance AMG variant GLA250 have quite a large gap separating chord. The AMG flogged begged for Spain's passing south of the mountain roads, GLA250, cruise satisfied. More aggressive alignment settings, 17-inch instead of 19-inch wheels, stiffer springs and dampers, less compliant bushings, stiffer steering knuckle, and included in Affalterbach GLA45 benefits from a long list of tweaks to the children, of course, four-cylinder that stubborn bulldog. Its 332 lb-ft of torque available, and a soundtrack can do double duty as the morning voice of Abe Vigoda, GLA45 AMG slope and a straight direction unleashed terrier as eagerly as the corners. AMG steering effort appropriately huge and although no apparent central valley in the road surface or as otherwise required by forcing a heavy gas, you'll stay in the real center. Firm, predictable and consistent-although precise measurements will have to wait until a GLA test toothed belt on American soil: Brake typical German for both cars. Figure lower leg in time for a 0-to-60 AMG.
Hills and Woods on
Although most of the off-road capability requirements at the beginning of the list of suspects to GLA shopping, Mercedes compact SUV rear-way bag packs a pretty impressive tricks. We remove the wheels on the body scan and at first glance seemed sure to clean the six conditions set rip, took a long and challenging off-road along GLA250 4MATIC. GLA250 AWD standard hill descent control-it will be an experienced pilot off-road downhill section to master the US-managed persistence. This GLA-class home safely get dirty and do good to know you have the skills, but in essence, it's still a smooth road.
Both versions are easy to read dual display in the interior instrument panel sits on five round air vents and the line marked "third eye" entertainment screen, it is straight-up CLA. Both cars seating comfort above average for the class, middle-aged GLA250 that offers plenty of support and expansion of the middle section. serious-looking AMG Performance seats offer good support without breaking the regions of hell, but the comfort theme continues bit harsh hand. Rear seat headroom than the CL sedan that was improved, but legroom is still tight.
With the GLA-Class, Mercedes-Benz proven components built on solid, distinguished-looking, competitive vehicle class produced. This is a talented and surprisingly small SUV wear appropriate three-pointed star and certainly does not hurt matters in terms of showroom traffic.
