Unlike its predecessor, the second-gen GLA is far bolder, more upright and more SUV-like in its appearance, which is sure to go down well with buyers. You also get far more room inside now, especially in the back seat, and cabin quality, luxury ambience and equipment has taken a huge leap forward; though there are still a few key items missing from the list. The new-gen powertrains are a huge leap forward too, and even though the GLA 200 petrol now uses 'just' a 1.3-litre turbo engine, it doesn't feel out of its depth. The 220d is the pick, however, offering effortless performance, and the option of all-wheel drive. The AMG GLA 35 is not as raucous as the last-gen's GLA 45, but that's just as well, as it provides ample performance in an accessible package, and since it's locally assembled, a more affordable one too.
