Seeing one of these up close, you'd never guess that it has 8 inches of ground clearance; in fact it really looks much more like a big hatchback than a crossover/SUV. And that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned. I'm loving this thrashy 4-cylinder and the totally batshit AMG version of it too!
How reliable is this car? In terms of upkeep and maintenance. My 2008 XC90 has been giving me endless trouble, and im really considering this car, but I don't want to get stuck with another garage queen.
not at all, they are very well built, but they do not like being neglected. I owe 3 old mercs, 1973 280, 1988 190E and 1999 C240, all of them with really high mileage, but all of them working like swiss clocks, just because I keep them with good oil and serviced at regular intervals. that applies for any car actually, but if you are going to be unlucky with a car, It can be any car too. even mercs.
Ruffino Morales Well, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that there are a lot of various safety systems incorporated within race cars which you won't have on the road. Examples: helmets, fire suits, roll cages, 5 point harness, etc.
Engineering Explained So unfortunate. Well, just drop a 100 grand on an escalade and that incredible button pushing power can be YOURS! I do love mercedes. Sexy cars they are...
Engineering Explained The GLA250 has an optional Amg LINE Package that gives the car 15mm or 20mm lowered suspension... It's possible that that option is only available in Australia... If you get a chance to review one, that'd be awesome...

I have the B250 built on the same platform it's super high and shows it. Super ready for offroad 😄
@@roodick85 is that the gla250?
100% de acuerdo
Absolutely love mine! It does great!
pro trick: you can watch series on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Lawson Andy definitely, I've been watching on flixzone for since december myself =)
I have this car love the pick up speed it digs
concise and to the point. love the review.
I bought mine a month ago and I like it
Wonderful review!
Been waiting for this one!!!
Where is this Great offroad Track?
I would love to see a video of your top 5 cars you tested!
Jon Freeman My favorites would probably be the Acura MDX, Mercedes GLA250, Jeep Renegade, Ford Edge, and Dodge 1500 EcoDiesel.
Great car!
I see you, GoPro!
How tall r u? 8 feet? ??
I love mine.
Do you prefer this car over 2015 LR Discovery HSE or 2016 Audi Q3?
Yes

this one will keep you trouble free for a long time, just keep the regular services, for engine and transmission.
Is transmission a problem with Mercedes?
not at all, they are very well built, but they do not like being neglected.

My 2015 GLA 250 is trouble free after 3 1/2 year’s. Love it.
So just a quick question? Anybody out there hot rodding this suv and any luck with this thing?
capability vs cross trek or v60 cross-country?
Imagine having to change your wheel speed sensor in the middle of the jungle.
Like on a defender or a gladiator? Not as bad as you might think.
What about a Mercedes G65 review?
faisal blaihed Mercedes are very limited here in the NW, but I will have a nice one in soon for a full review. Won't say which model yet!
What????? If you review an AMG I will die!!!! You have THE BEST JOB!!!!
Where is handbrake on merc gla 250
I want to ask you something. Why race cars do not have airbags ?
Ruffino Morales Well, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that there are a lot of various safety systems incorporated within race cars which you won't have on the road. Examples: helmets, fire suits, roll cages, 5 point harness, etc.
My Mercedes has done 59k miles and had a engine rebuild. Not happy 😮
How does this fare in snow?
Give it good tires and it will be great!
Does it have an aux cord input anywhere?
There's no separate button to open the glove box!!?
F!@#Guilt I was as disappointed as you are. Can't seem to find any other vehicles that have it these days... ;)
Engineering Explained So unfortunate. Well, just drop a 100 grand on an escalade and that incredible button pushing power can be YOURS! I do love mercedes. Sexy cars they are...
you do be offroading in sport mode tho
Did this GLA have the AMG Line package with the lowered suspension, etc?
BLaQz84 No, this is the 250. Here's my review of the 45: ruclips.net/video/Y10xoSqdQwc/видео.html

@@BLaQz84 Not in USA
I won’t buy this vehicle to race neither go off road. It’s to get to work and transport my kids.
Footballer Mom 😂 get a V Class then
I think the GLK 250 looks BETTER.
Virgle Phillips and they stop making the GLKs... sad.
Looks like a platypus
7 g tronic not a dual clutch but a torque converter auto.
Want to hear engine...
Guys says "accelerates really blah blah blah" over it EVERY TIME.
Sighs
its 2.0T, itll be pretty quiet in the cabin regardless
Where the F is the gear leaver :D
Ivan Ivanov Where the hell have you been? It's on the steering column like Mercedes has been doing since the Chrysler days.
In the steering wheel - location of windshield washer leveler!
Не интересно смотреть когда вид от первого лица.
