2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA: Accessible luxury
January 28 2021,
The new Mercedes-Benz GLA 2021 has just entered the market and immediately stands out from the competition with its level of luxury, refinement, performance and versatility. The GLA is the gateway to the Mercedes-Benz SUV lineup, but you never feel like you have to compromise with the new GLA.
Several versions and models in the 2021 GLA range
Like the majority of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA offers a host of versions. It is easy to find the perfect model for our needs in the GLA range, especially when it comes to engines. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA comes standard with a fuel-efficient, high-performance turbo four-cylinder engine, but there are two other powertrain options to consider as well.
The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA is initially offered with a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine that develops 221 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This engine not only performs better than many engines offered in rivals to the GLA, it is also more economical. It is the ideal compromise between luxury and comfort.
That said, the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA is also offered in an AMG version with more power.
The Mercedes-AMG GLA 35 4Matic offers a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that develops 302 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque - enough power to reach 100 km/h in just 5.1 seconds. The Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 4Matic, on the other hand, offers a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that develops 382 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, this engine allows the GLA 45 to reach 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds. This performance can rival many much more expensive sports cars, although the GLA 45 AMG starts at just $ 60,500.
This makes the GLA one of the most powerful SUVs on the market and certainly in its price range. Add to that many upgrades in 2021 including an all new more modern and luxurious instrument panel, the addition of the MBUX system and top level comfort, and you have an accessible luxury sport utility that will give you a lot for your money.
You will also enjoy 435 liters of cargo space which is very impressive for such a compact and agile SUV.
