2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA Spy Shots

Mercedes-Benz has just launched the 2020 GLB in the compact crossover SUV segment, but the automaker isn't going to drop its existing option in the segment, the GLA. In fact, a redesign for the GLA is coming and we've just spotted a prototype. It will likely trail the GLB by about a year, meaning we should see it introduced for the 2021 model year. The spy shots show the new GLA maintains the current model's hatch-like shape to help differentiate it from the boxier GLB. The GLA also has a much shorter wheelbase than the GLB, and it looks to have taken on a more city chic design compared to its predecessor. The ride height also looks to have been increased compared to the outgoing GLA, with the low stance being one of the biggest criticisms of the current model. The tall, hatch-like design is meant to appeal to older buyers who appreciate vehicles that are easy to get in and out of, but aren鈥檛 looking for big SUVs.

The new GLA is based on the same MFA2 (Mercedes Front-drive Architecture) as the recently launched A-Class, redesigned CLA and new GLB, meaning it will feature turbo-4 engines, a dual-clutch transmission, and available all-wheel drive. A plug-in hybrid option will likely be offered at some point as well. The Mercedes-AMG division is likely to offer its own versions of the GLA. These should include a new GLA35 with 302 horsepower and a repeat of the GLA45 with up to 416 hp on tap. The MFA2-based cars also benefit from a much more advanced interface. Dubbed MBUX, short for Mercedes-Benz User Experience, the new interface features digital screens for the instrument cluster and infotainment system, much like on the pricier E-Class and S-Class models. There's also touch capability for the infotainment screen and you'll also be able to use natural speech to control many vehicle functions. Availability of the new GLA in the United States is yet to be confirmed. Compact cars have proven to be big business for Mercedes.

There are many options available to you with regard to where to book you vehicle in. You may either take your car to a main dealer or an independent garage who will carry out a Mercedes service for you. Both dealer and independent should use original parts, meaning that you will protect you manufacturer warranty. Buying a Mercedes is the easiest part while maintaining it to retain its class and style is the toughest job for many owners. The Mercedes has to provide the comfort that it promises and it is very important to have good Mercedes wheels to maintain the comfort level. Good quality Mercedes wheels ensure good performance from the car as well. It will provide for a smooth drive even on the roughest roads. Maintaining high quality Mercedes wheels does give you the return in terms of a comfortable and tension free drive. Mercedes wheels convey a lot to the onlooker. With Mercedes you are buying a purely refined car that like Porsche has stayed the same over the years and has only changed subtly!

By the mid 1980's, the automotive generation gap that began in the early 1970's, became even bigger as the foothold for prestige brands, like Mercedes Benz and BMW, became stronger. Suddenly, a BMW became the ride for young, urban, professionals while the Blue hairs continued to by Lincolns and Cadillacs. It would take nearly thirty years to bridge the gap. By '86, what discriminating taste makers demanded could not be found in a Lincoln or Cadillac show room. Save for a price, a softer ride, and a preference to drive a rolling wedding cake, why would anyone opt for a Town Car over a BMW or Mercedes? An oblique patriotism manifesting itself in misguided obligation? GM and Ford have long hawked Cadillacs and Lincolns that were little more than gussied up versions of plebeian offerings. Toyota, Nissan, Acura, Volkswagen (and others) do the same so it's not just "us" that do it. It's the only way large manufacturers can compete with independents, like BMW and Mercedes, at the boutique level. What's important, is that buyers can't tell that their Lexus is actually a Toyota in a tux. The plastic wood trim and ersatz, baroque styling of the '80s Town Car could only do so much to disguise that underneath, the Town Car was a Ford Crown Victoria. Liberace was not impressed.
