Mercedes-Benz has placed the first price tags on the brand new second generation of the GLA class. The starting price of the crossover remains just under €50,000.
The GLA is the car that fills the gap between the A and B class at Mercedes-Benz. The second generation, which radiates less ‘raised A-class’ than its predecessor, was presented at the end of last year and is already provided with the Dutch price labels.
Mercedes-Benz is currently putting only two gasoline and two diesel engines on the price list of the new GLA. In terms of fuel, the 163 hp and 250 Nm strong 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine is the entry-level engine. The GLA 200 sprint in 8.7 counts to a speed of 100 km / h. His price: € 49,267. With its 224 hp and 350 Nm strong 2.0, the GLA 250 provides more fuel. This version, which runs the well-known 0-100 sprint in 6.9 seconds, changes ownership from € 52,637. The GLA 200 is always equipped with a seven-speed automatic transmission with double clutch. The GLA 250 has an automatic transmission with an eighth gear.
Diesel
Of course, it is also possible to diesel. Mercedes-Benz delivers its new crossover namely as GLA 200 with the 150 hp and 320 Nm strong 2.0 under the hood. This is just like the second diesel version, the 190 hp and 400 Nm GLA 250, both with and without 4Matic drive. All diesel versions are equipped with the eight-speed automatic. The GLA 200d has a starting price of € 53,954 and for the four-wheel-driven taste, Mercedes-Benz requires € 58,404. The GLA 250 costs € 60,200 without 4Matic drive and € 64,815 with four-wheel drive.
Mercedes-Benz confirms that there will also be a GLA with a plug-in hybrid powertrain in the long term. This probably gets the same heart as the 250th versions of the A and B class. Here the known 1.3 works together with a 102 hp electric motor, good for a system power of 221 hp and 450 Nm of torque. With the 15.6 kWh battery pack, the GLA should also be able to travel some 70 kilometers electrically. At a later stage, one or more AMG versions will undoubtedly also join the ranks.
The new GLA will be available at dealers in the spring.
