The model

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

With 415bhp, the range-topping AMG GLA 45 can crack 62mph from a standstill in just 4.4sec. That's incredible performance for a small SUV, albeit it a seriously pricey one.
