The MERCEDES-BENZ GLA (2014-17) GLA200 5DR SUV 2.1 CDI DPF SS 136 EU6 SPORT PREMIUM 7G-DCT AUTO is a compact premium SUV, combining a higher ride and extra practicality with easier parking than a large 4x4. In the UK, it competes with the Audi Q3 and BMW X1. The diesel engine, automatic gearbox and Sport Premium trim suit commuting, motorway journeys and family errands, while a raised driving position and smart cabin add comfort.
