    The new Mercedes-Benz GLA's looks bring it in line with the newest generation of M-B products, but the new face covers big changes. For starters, the next-generation GLA is taller and more SUV-like than the crossover we're familiar with. That's very deliberate, and now that the GLA is no longer an off-road-stanced hatchback masquerading as a crossover, it's a more convincing SUV in both shape and market positioning. Mark Takahashi explores more in his review.

    I am a 2X owner of a 1st gen GLA. I have found both 100% reliable and it drives great. Would I like a little more power, sure. But I have been able to get 32 MPG on highway when I wanted too.

    Yes, I recently bought the #Mercedes #GLA250e full extra. !!!!!
    So I found out that while the car was ordered for Greece .... it does NOT have Greek ...
    Not even in the hard disk navigation program (846.30 €) + (507.78 € augmented reality navigation)
    If you want my personal opinion the safety of the driver and passengers is very important.
    Exactly for this at least the navigation system should speak the language of the buyer .. !!!!!
    It can speak 26 other languages ​​including English, Deutsch, ,eština, Dansk, Español, Français, Hrvatski, Italiano, Magyar, Nederlands, Norsk, polski, Portugues, Slovencina, Srpski, Svenska, Turkce, Pyccknn etc ... ..
    I hope it is not something racist of Mercedes that does not have Greek and while it comes to Greece .. !! ?????
    (BMW, Audi, WV speak Greek. !!)
    From what I know Mercedes wants to be famous for safety. !!!!
    Yes..???
    But not for my safety .....
    and the security of the Greeks .....
    At your disposal.....

    The old 2015 GLA is more like a "big hatchback"?! Hilarious. Maybe if you compared it's capacity to a Smart Car, but it's certainly not "big" compared to the mainstream hatchbacks.
