An all-new compact premium-class SUV is arriving soon: the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA.

Officially unveiled at the 2013 Shanghai motor show in April, this striking concept model marks a whole new approach for Mercedes-Benz in the compact SUV segment.

“This is a sporty and more coupé-like evolution of this category of vehicle”, explained Dr Joachim Schmidt, Head of Sales and Marketing, Mercedes-Benz Cars.

Combining dramatic styling with tough off-road looks, the Concept GLA shares its design credentials with the recently launched A-Class. Distinctive features include the broad bonnet with powerdomes, the muscular rear and a sporty radiator grille with centrally positioned star.

Sinewy lines and sculpted surfaces create a dynamic silhouette, while the sophisticated interior features dark galvanised aluminium trim, LED air vents and saddle leather upholstery with hand-stitched seams.

Additional highlights include a clear panoramic roof fitted with detachable cameras, and ‘laser-light’ headlamps that can also function as projectors, transmitting pictures or films onto a surface through COMAND Online.

The Concept GLA is equipped with a four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine rated at 211 hp, along with a 7G-DCT dual clutch automatic transmission and 4MATIC all-wheel drive. Its athletic proportions (length/width/height: 4383/1978/1579 mm) are almost identical to those of the production car.
