The GLA-Class is 4417mm long, 1804mm wide and has a height of 1494mm. This compact SUV is expected to be launched in India sometime next year and it will compete with the BMW X1 and the Audi Q3. This will be available in India with two engines, one being the 1.6-litre petrol with 156bhp, and other being the 2.2-litre diesel that could come with a power rating of either 136bhp or 170bhp.
The GLA-Class is a four seater with humongous boot. It also has similar interiors like the other MFA platform vehicles. So it has the circular air-con vents and it could be made available with 4MATIC drive too.
