Featuring a mightily impressive design with powerful overall proportions, the new, locally-assembled Mercedes-Benz GLA is a slick modern car that provides pure driving pleasure, especially for long-distance travel. Boasting a stylishly refreshing SUV silhouette and hallmark off-road design with powerful shoulders of the bodywork and coupé-like lines of the side windows, the vehicle aims to provide the ultimate luxury automotive experience.
There are two variants available – the GLA 200 Progressive Line and GLA 250 AMG Line – and both offer a spacious interior, ample leg space in the rear for one or two people, and a roomy luggage compartment, with the seating position for both the front passenger and driver higher and more upright than its predecessor. When you need more space than what the car boot allows, the rear seat backrests can be folded down to reveal an almost flat loading area extending to the front seats.
Driving, whether on-road or off, will feel sturdy, light and relaxing thanks in large part to the lowered and dynamically tuned suspension that aims to intensify your driving experience. In terms of equipment, two lines are available: the GLA 200 is equipped in Progressive Line with 18-inch 5-twin-spoke alloy wheels while the GLA 250 is equipped with AMG Line body styling and 19-inch AMG 5-twin-spoke alloy wheels.
The new Mercedes-Benz Malaysia production line allows for the brand to strengthen its local footprint here in Malaysia, thus setting the standards of the local automotive segment. Michael Jopp, VP of Sales and Marketing, Passenger cars at Mercedes-Benz Malaysia says, “We believe that this expansion will continue to strengthen our local offerings as we strive to provide our customers the very best of premium and luxury German engineering.”
The GLA is the entry-level model for the Mercedes-Benz SUV family and is priced at RM242,888 for the GLA 200 and RM 278,888 for the GLA 250 AMG.
