Mercedes GLA brings an added shot of panache to the compact luxury SUV segment. But does it drive as good as it looks?
Should I buy one?
The GLA’s most obvious rivals are the BMW X1 and the Audi Q3. While the X1 is still a more entertaining car to drive and the Q3 is more practical and a truer SUV with its famed Quattro system, neither of them quite has the GLA’s style and upmarket looks.
If you want the image of a premium SUV without the worry of driving something too expensive and cumbersome, the GLA, with an estimated ex-showroom (Delhi) price of Rs 35 lakh could be the next sweet spot for Mercedes.
