The second-generation GLA adopts a more upright, SUV-like stance, shedding the coupé-inspired profile of its predecessor. It appears larger and more assertive, thanks to a 10 cm taller roofline and stronger proportions. While still not SUV like in profile, key design elements include squared wheel arches, 19-inch wheels, and a sculpted bonnet. The upright grille features chrome pinheads, paired with adaptive LED headlamps and a wide, angular bumper on AMG Line variants. Though the rear isn’t as dramatic, it features like sectioned LED tail-lights and a wide base provide a solid presence. The 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system is available only with the diesel variant.

Cabin space is notably improved, especially in the rear. Thanks to the longer wheelbase and taller roof, legroom and headroom are good even for taller passengers. Seating position remains low, which may reduce the typical SUV feel. Seats are supportive and durable but slightly firm. A pair of sunroofs add brightness, and cabin materials—like brushed aluminium and piano black inserts—give a premium feel. Entry and exit are somewhat limited by narrow rear doors, and boot space is rated at 435 litres. The space-saver tyre sits beneath the floor in a dedicated compartment, slightly reducing usable capacity.

Under the hood, the GLA 220d’s 190hp diesel engine delivers eager performance, paired with 400Nm of torque from just 1,600rpm. The throttle feels crisp, and the 8-speed twin-clutch gearbox responds quickly, keeping the car in the powerband for uninterrupted acceleration. The GLA sprints from 0–100kph in 7.4 seconds. Chassis improvements like a stiffer frame, aluminium suspension parts, and a wider track improve driving dynamics. The 4MATIC system allows up to 30 percent torque transfer to the rear wheels in Sport mode, enhancing traction and stability under load.

The 2025 GLA 200 petrol uses a 1.3-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged engine co-developed with Renault-Nissan. It produces 163hp at 5,500rpm and 250Nm from 1,620rpm. Mated to a 7-speed DCT, it powers the front wheels only. It offers smooth city driving with responsive mid-range power. Its 1.3L turbo engine delivers 163hp and 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Acceleration is nowhere near as strong as the torquey diesel and the engine often feels strained.

The diesel-powered GLA 220d 4MATIC offers an ARAI-certified mileage of 18.9 km/l. With its 50-liter fuel tank, it can achieve a theoretical range of up to 945 kilometers. Select diesel trims benefit from mild hybrid tech that assists acceleration and reduces fuel usage in urban driving. Efficiency remains one of its strong suits, particularly for long-range travel. The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLA 200 petrol variant delivers an ARAI-certified mileage of 17.4 km/l.

The GLA handles corners with confidence, aided by precise steering and responsive brakes. Body roll is noticeable but well-controlled, and the SUV offers a dynamic feel when driven spiritedly. In Comfort mode, city driving is relaxed, with light steering and smooth progress. Ride quality is generally good, deep road undulations can cause noticeable thuds.

Unique features include kinetic seats that subtly adjust pressure points, and an intelligent MBUX system that reduces fan noise during calls or voice prompts. LED mood lighting is customizable, and the cabin supports connected tech like Alexa and Google voice assistants, enabling remote functions like pre-cooling. Safety equipment includes seven airbags, ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Cornering Brake Control (CBC), Blind Spot Assist, and Lane Departure Warning. ISOFIX mounts and tyre pressure monitoring also contribute to safety. Missing features include ventilated seats and only some variants get keyless entry availability. All USB ports are Type C.

The GLA 220d is priced at ₹54.5 lakh (ex-showroom), and the GLA 220d 4MATIC at ₹56.9 lakh. It offers improved space, stronger performance, and upscale features, positioning itself as a well-rounded option in the compact luxury SUV segment.

Hi, I am planning to purchase a new car within a budget of ₹50-60 lakh. I really like the Audi A4, but I am concerned about its ground clearance of around 165 mm, which may be slightly low for Indian road conditions. I have also looked at the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe and the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Limousine. Could you suggest other cars in this price range that I should consider? I am mainly looking for a good value-for-money luxury car with strong features and overall ownership value.

Autocar India

•6w

All the cars you have shortlisted, being sedans, have similar ground clearance, and for all practical purposes, the Audi A4 is no worse off than the other two. In fact, in our testing, it was the Mercedes-Benz A-Class limousine that required the most care over speed breakers. If ground clearance is a high priority, consider an SUV like the Mercedes GLA, Audi Q3 or BMW X1. However, if you want to stick with a sedan, the Audi A4 is the most value for money. Not only is it larger and more spacious than the others, it also has the most comfortable suspension. What's more, its 190hp, 2.0-litre turbo petrol is larger and more powerful than the engines on offer in the 2 Series and A-Class, and the most refined among them too. Given your budget, however, you could even consider an Audi A6; check if your local Audi dealer is offering any discounts, and it could fit within the outer limits of your budget.

I am planning to buy my first luxury car and am confused between the Audi Q3 and the Mercedes-Benz GLA 200d. My daily commute is around 25 km, with long drives about once a quarter. My main requirements are strong road presence and a good driving experience.

Autocar India

•18w

The Mercedes-Benz GLA 200d feels more modern, with striking styling and rich interiors, compared to the Q3, which now feels dated. However, the Audi Q3 is overall a better choice for your daily commute because the 2-litre TFSI petrol is very smooth, the ride is better than the GLA’s, and the cabin is a bit more spacious too.One downside is that Audi cars don’t have as good resale value as Mercedes-Benz cars, but that is compensated for by the great deals you get on Audis today. You can bargain hard with both the Mumbai dealers for a good price.

I am looking to upgrade to an entry-level luxury SUV, and I am confused between the GLA 220d 4Matic, the BMW X1, and the old Audi Q3 Sportback. My usage is mainly city driving with occasional highway use, so mileage is important, but so are plush interiors, comfort, and driving experience with good value for money. Should I also wait for the new generation Q3 to be launched in India? I am not entirely sold on its exterior cosmetic changes of the global variant. Should I also wait for any other launches?

Autocar India

•20w

The Mercedes-Benz GLA220d will be your best bet, for its punchy yet efficient diesel engine, and its plush interiors, which add to the overall feel-good factor. It is also nice to drive, and even though it is a touch pricey, it delivers a luxurious experience which you expect at this price.

I’m considering whether to buy a used car or a new car after driving my current vehicle for 10 more years. I’m thinking about getting a BMW or Audi hatchback in good condition. What are your thoughts?

Autocar India

•21w

You will not find many used BMW and Audi cars (hatchbacks) in India because very few were ever sold.BMW did offer the 1 Series hatchback for a short time, but the numbers were still limited.Instead, it’s better to explore their small SUVs like the Audi Q3 and the BMW X1. If you are open to Mercedes-Benz cars, you can also check the A-Class or B-Class hatchbacks, though these too are rare, or consider the Mercedes GLA. When buying a premium used car, though, make sure you buy from the brand itself, as they all have an approved used program. You can also buy one from a very reputable reseller, and if things go wrong, it can be very expensive to fix.

I am looking to replace my 2021 Tucson. My current usage is not more than 1,000 km a month, mostly on the highway. My budget is ₹50-60 lakh, and I have shortlisted the Mercedes-Benz GLA, BMW X1, and Audi Q3. Looking for your guidance.

Autocar India

•20w

We'd recommend you narrow down your options to the Mercedes GLA 220d and Q3, both of which have strong powertrains and are a touch nicer to drive than the BMW X1.Between the two, the Mercedes-Benz car has a more well-appointed cabin and a spacious interior. The Audi Q3's cabin is also high on quality, although it lacks flair. Where the Q3 shines is the ride comfort. Go for the Mercedes if you are willing to pick a diesel engine - you will appreciate the 220d's effortless performance on the highway.However, if you need a petrol, the Audi Q3's turbo petrol is far superior to what Mercedes and BMW offer, hence it gets our vote.

Dr Sunil Kumar M

I am confused between the Mercedes GLA and BMW X1. Which one offers the latest features and a better servicing experience?

Autocar India

•22w

Both the Mercedes-Benz GLA and BMW X1 offer a strong list of features. You get auto LED headlamps, dual-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, a powered tailgate, connected car tech, ambient lighting, and even some ADAS features on both cars. The Mercedes has an advantage with a 360-degree camera. The BMW gets only a rear-view camera but offers lane-departure warning, which the Mercedes does not.After that, the choice mainly comes down to interior and exterior design and the way the features are laid out. The BMW’s i-Drive infotainment system is known to be notoriously complicated to use. It should also be noted that the Mercedes has more powerful engines than the BMW. As for service, it is highly dependent on your location and the specific service centre. Both brands reportedly have both good and bad service centres around the country.

I’m planning to buy a third car but torn between the Mercedes GLA (luxury) and the Škoda Kodiaq (premium and larger). I already have a Honda City 5th Gen and a Toyota Hycross Hybrid. Which one makes more sense to buy?

Autocar India

•25w

A Skoda Kodiaq is better equipped, more spacious, and it is more powerful than the Mercedes GLA petrol. A Volkswagen Tiguan R Line is also something you can consider, which is a bit sportier to drive than the Kodiaq, and now with huge discounts, is a tempting option.
