A compact SUV, the GLA is a kissing cousin of the B-Class and CLA, with whom it shares its denominations and mechanical parts. This includes a 4-cylinder turbo engine with direct injection and 208 horsepower (GLA 250 4Matic) or 355 horsepower (GLA 45 AMG 4Matic). The only transmission available is a 7-speed dual-clutch. Less spacious than the B-Class, the GLA is a lot more like the A Class, which is sold in Europe and looks like a B with a low roof.
