Mercedes-Benz GLA250: An SUV made for the city - CNET
If I had been driving one of Mercedes-Benz's larger cars , like the E-class , I might have been able to let go of the steering wheel, as well. However, the entry-level GLA250, a compact SUV, doesn't get the more advanced Traffic Jam Assistant found higher up in the model line. As a compact SUV, the GLA250 offers seating for five, a high driver position and an ample cargo space measuring 42 cubic feet with the rear seats down. The hood curves down toward the two-bar grille while the roof rails form a graceful line, rolling up from the A-pillars then back down at the rear. Base price in the US for the 2015 GLA250 comes in at $33,300, making it one of the less expensive Mercedes-Benz models. That model includes the Mercedes-Benz 4Matic all-wheel-drive system. In those two markets, you can bring the base price down further by opting for a front-wheel-drive diesel version, lower in power but greater in fuel economy. The GLA250 model actually delivers decent fuel economy, its turbocharged 2-liter four-cylinder engine rated in EPA tests at 24 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. Source: www.cnet.com
