  • 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLA – Efficiency and Practicality

    Mercedes-Benz has officially unveiled the 2014 GLA, which is expected to make its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, next month. The compact crossover boasts progressive design, versatility and impressive off-road capability. It aims to set new benchmarks in efficiency as it mixes practicality with surefooted 4MATIC capability.

    The first Mercedes-Benz in the fast-growing compact SUV segment is highly manoeuvrable around town (length x width x height 4,417 x 1,804 x 1,494 millimetres), lively on country roads and dynamic and efficient on the motorway (Cd figure 0.29). The high-quality appointments, developed with much love for detail, and the flexible interior clearly position the GLA as a compact premium SUV.

    The GLA is the first Mercedes-Benz SUV to be optionally available with the new-generation permanent all-wheel drive system 4MATIC, with fully variable torque distribution in the UK.

    The engine range includes a 1.6 liter turbocharged petrol with 156HP (115 kW) and 250Nm (185 lb-ft) in GLA 200, the GLA 250 model is powered by a 2.0 liter turbocharged petrol with 211HP (155 kW) and 350Nm (259 lb-ft). The diesel range includes GLA 200 CDI with 2.1 liter four-cylinder engine with 136HP (100 kW) and 300Nm (222 lb-ft) and GLA 220 CDI with the same engine, but boosted to 170HP (125 kW) and 350Nm (259 lb-ft) of torque.

    The GLA 250 equipped with 4MATIC will do 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 6.5 seconds before reaching a top speed of 145 mph (233 km/h). The optional all-wheel drive arrangement is also offered for the GLA 220 CDI and both models benefit from a Downhill Speed Regulation (DSR) system and an off-road transmission mode.

    UK specification and pricing are still to be confirmed.

  • 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLA [teaser video]

    Mercedes-Benz has released published a teaser video on Youtube with the 2014 GLA cross-over, which is expected to make its official debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

    The Concept model was presented earlier this year at the 2013 Auto Shanghai and the manufacturer is going to use a lot of the concepts features in the production model. However, some of the highlights are a bit toned down. The GLA is a compact crossover that will have a two-bar front grille, the new Mercedes-Benz’s headlight design, bulging fenders and a tailgate-mounted spoiler.

    The engine range will be borrowed from B-Class: a 1.6 liter petrol with 122HP (90 kW), a 1.8 liter diesel with 136HP (100 kW) and a 1.6 liter turbocharged petrol with 156HP (115 kW). Of course, we also expect a GLA 45 AMG powered by world’s most powerful four-cylinder engine 2.0 liter turbocharged petrol with 360HP (265 kW).
