The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA is the entry-level SUV from the German luxury carmaker. This first-generation model comes in two trims: GLA 250 and the performance-oriented GLA 45 AMG. The GLA 250 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine that provides 208 horsepower, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive (Mercedes' 4MATIC) system is optional. The GLA 45 AMG houses a more powerful version of the same engine, rated at 375 horsepower and paired with standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive. Safety features encompass automatic emergency braking, forward-collision warning, and Attention Assist driver-drowsiness monitor, while an 8-inch infotainment screen, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto constitute its technology highlights. For 2017, the GLA received a mild refresh to its exterior and interior designs.
