IF you had the impression that driving a Mercedes-Benz was synonymous with a conservative approach to life by men in suits, then think again.
The Mercedes-Benz GLA presents an adventure for the curious, for the restless, the thrill-chasers, the freedom seekers, those who desire to be out under an open sky.
Of course, during the week, these types may be disguised in the aforementioned suits but, come the weekend, things change.
The feeling of freedom is infectious.
The new GLA exudes self-confidence, with flowing, elegant lines (even when at a standstill) and a awe-inspiring presence, with dynamic, sporty proportions.
Custom designs include: Style, Exclusive, Night, Urban and AMG, offering completely diverging characters, tailored to the individual’s taste.
With attractive trim elements, agile driver ambience and sleek ergonomics, flexibility defines comfort in the new GLA.
There are three customisable designs, equipment lines and packages to choose from.
The petrol engine for a new generation combines dynamic technology with fuel-saving tools.
The four-cylinder petrol engine provides high torque at any engine speed, operating highly efficiently at 5.9l/100km.
The direct-injection four-cylinder fourth generation diesel engines deliver deep power reserves.
The GLA offers two diesel designs, GLA 200 CDI and GLA 220 CDI 4Matic, both meeting Euro 6 emissions requirements.
The engines provide instant throttle responses even at lower engine speeds and high torque in every engine speed range.
For example, the GLA 200 kicks out 115kW of power and 250Nm of torque, while the more powerful AMG roars out 265kW of power and 450Nm of torque.
‘Intelligent Drive’ fuses comfort and safety. The GLA’s range of additional safety options includes active parking assist, adaptive highbeam assist, lane keeping assist, intelligent lighting systems.
Sensors analyse complex situations and recognise potential traffic dangers, while collision prevention assistance cautions of impending obstacles.
Adaptive brake assist responds with the precise amount needed to avoid an impending collision.
It also comes with other important standard safety equipment, like electronic stability program (ESP), emergency brake assist (BAS), acceleration skid control (ASR), anti-lock brakes (ABS), airbags, including and head/thorax side bags for driver and front passenger, hill start assist, flashing adaptive brake lights, headlamp assist, tyre pressure loss warning system, plus a number of other things.
