We're here to tell you in this video road test of the 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class. MORE: Read our 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class review. You might not know it by looking at it, but the GLA is essentially a lifted hatchback version of the swoopy CLA-Class. While it’s not large, the GLA does carry far more presence than you’d expect for its size. Inside the GLA you’ll find a sporty cockpit with no fewer than five oversized vents. Back in the rear seat there’s enough headroom for adults, but like the CLA-Class, legroom’s a little tight. As for cargo space, there’s 17 cubic feet with the rear seats up, and that expands to a useful 43. 6 cubic feet with the split-folding rear seats down. Under the hood of the GLA 250 you’ll find a 208-horsepower turbo four-cylinder with 258 pound-feet of torque. Source: www.thecarconnection.com
