Product Overview

Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class X156 is a subcompact crossover in production from 2013 to 2017, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.5 to 2.1 liters.

Based on the W176 A-Class hatchback, the GLA is a slightly taller car with no offroad capability whatsoever. It uses a range of downsized engines that include some French units and can be considered a badge-engineered vehicle to certain degree. The tiny engine in the GLA45 AMG is a disgrace for the AMG nameplate.

Mercedes-Benz has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it.
