Mercedes-Benz GLA Class Price, Images, Review & Specs

Second-gen Mercedes Benz GLA: Mercedes-Benz is gearing up to launch the second-gen GLA. It is based on the 2019 A-Class hatchback, which was showcased in March 2018. The updated SUV has already been spotted testing and it looks like an A-Class on stilts. To know more about the new SUV, click here. Mercedes Benz GLA Prices and Variants:The entry-level Mercedes Benz SUV is available in four variants: 220 d 4Matic, 200 Sport, 200 d Sport and 200 d Style. Prices start from Rs 31.72 lakh and go up to Rs 39.03 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The GLA gets a full-blown AMG version as well. Called the 45 AMG, it is priced at Rs 77.84 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). Mercedes Benz GLA Engine: The GLA can be had with three engine options. The GLA 200 is powered by a 2.0-litre (183PS/300Nm) petrol engine while the GLA 200 d gets a 2.2-litre (136PS/300Nm) diesel engine. Mercedes-Benz GLA Features: Safety features on offer include six airbags, brake assist system, attention assist, adaptive braking system, electronic stability program, tyre pressure monitoring system, hill start assist and traction control. Other features include a panoramic sunroof, LED headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, electrically adjustable front seats, an 8-inch infotainment display, cruise control, push-button start and reverse parking camera.

The difference is even greater in the case of the V6 CDI: depending on the configuration, a lower NEDC consumption by up to 1.5 litres per 100 km is achievable. This fuel saving spells striking financial advantages for high-mileage operators: for an annual mileage of 50,000 km, and depending on the model, the new-generation Sprinter saves between around 250 and 750 litres of fuel per year. At 150,000 km this advantage triples to around 750 to 2250 litres. For buyers of the new Sprinter this translates into a direct financial benefit amounting to three or four figures in Euro per year. At the same time the lower consumption conserves resources and considerably reduces pollutant emissions. In tandem with this, the Sprinter is now even more dynamic, as the combination of new, more powerful engines and the new transmissions produces faster acceleration. Even more significantly, the flexibility so important in practical operations has improved greatly. The power of the Sprinter also provides the ideal preconditions for trailer operation.

As a result the permissible trailer load of the 3.5-tonne Sprinter has been increased to the same figure, 3.5 tonnes. This produces a remarkable permissible gross combination weight of up to precisely seven tonnes. The increased trailer load is available for all Sprinter panel vans, chassis with cab and crewcab models from the 316 CDI upwards, but not for variants with a short wheelbase. During the course of the development work, Mercedes-Benz also further improved the acknowledged, exemplary safety level of the Sprinter. These improvements can be summed as: ESP trailer stabilisation, adaptive brake light, heated wide-angle mirror, lower position of the front foglamps and automatic transmission with Start-Off Assist. If a customer orders the trailer coupling or preparation for a trailer coupling ex factory, ESP trailer stabilisation is included as standard. This additional function of the standard Electronic Stability Program ESP is already used in the Mercedes-Benz Vito and Viano.

ESP trailer stabilisation uses the yaw rate sensor of ESP to recognise sinusoidal oscillations around the vertical axis of the vehicle, and initiates counteraction with active braking intervention. There are no additional sensors on the trailer or trailer coupling. Once the trailer begins to snake, ESP trailer stabilisation brakes the front wheels and reduces the engine torque. If several interventions are necessary at short intervals, the braking action is heavier and the speed is reduced more severely. This unmistakably makes the driver aware of the snaking trailer, and that he is driving at critical speeds too frequently. The ESP warning lamp in the dashboard informs the driver that intervention is taking place. Thanks to its great sensitivity, ESP trailer stabilisation already starts to counteract critical sinusoidal oscillations at the onset - a significant improvement in safety and comfort. ESP trailer stabilisation already recognises the trailer when the electrical socket is connected.
