Mercedes Benz has teased the upcoming GLA compact luxury SUV by putting up an official sketch of the same on the brand's Facebook page.

The German carmaker previewed the GLA in concept form at the Shanghai motor show held earlier this year. The GLA will also be the latest model to be spun off Mercedes’ latest front-drive MFA architecture, following the latest A-class and B-class models and the CLA saloon, which will also come to India soon.

The GLA is expected to be 4383mm long, 1978mm wide and 1579mm high. The wheelbase is believed to be the same 2699mm employed by its siblings - the A-class and B-class. These dimensions closely match the Audi Q3 and BMW X1, the chief rivals that the GLA will face when it hits international markets next year.

The front features perhaps the most modern treatment yet of Mercedes’ familiar core design, with just two horizontal bars used for the front grille, which places the marque’s three-pointed star logo at its centre. Continued..
