For far too long, there has been a stigma associated with entry level luxury cars: that they are quite barebones when it comes to features. That was in part true for the GLA as well.

The Mercedes-Benz GLA is Mercedes’ entry level SUV which offers buyers a taste of luxury in a compact yet practical footprint. It competes with the likes of the BMW X1 and Audi Q3. In Mercedes’ lineup, it sits under the GLC, GLE and the GLS SUVs.
