The model

Read full review

Classy, comfortable and well equipped, the Mercedes GLA is one of the better prestige family SUVs, but some rivals are cheaper and more practical.

The trim

See full equipment

Even though this is the cheapest trim, you still get 18in alloy wheels, keyless entry and start, climate control, heated front seats and a 7.0in touchscreen infotainment system with sat-nav and a DAB radio.

The engine

See full engine specs

This engine could well be the sweet spot of the range. We haven't sampled it in the GLA yet but it’s our pick of the A-Class lineup, providing effortless oomph for relaxed cruising.
