10.10.2021The second generation of the GLA makes every critic fall silent who thought the predecessor no proper SUV

Since 2019, the second generation of the GLA (H247) is available at Mercedes-Benz. The new GLA is visually more massive than its predecessor and belongs to the compact SUV category. The model of the GLA from Solido is painted in the color denim blue metallic and set off with red highlights on the rims and radiator grille. The scale 1:18 model from Stuttgart has steerable front wheels and doors that can be opened. Despite the various features and the true to original interior, Solido has produced a model here at a top price-performance ratio in the usual high quality.

The GLA is already the eighth offshoot of the A-Class in the Mercedes-family. In addition to larger space, Mercedes has a big variety of engines available in the new GLA. In addition to three diesel engines, which range between 116Php and 190hp, the GLA, including three AMG models, can be ordered with six different petrol engines between 136hp and 421hp. To complete the engine range, the GLA 250 e also supplies the plug-in hybrid with a system output of 218 hp.

Thus, the 2020 GLA continues a story that began in 2013 when Mercedes presented the first GLA at the IAA. Since then it has gotten higher. With the predecessor, the first generation that was available from 2013-2019, a frequent point of criticism was that the GLA was not a “proper” SUV. There is no longer any doubt about that with the second generation. Unless you choose the top model from AMG in the order list. Then the GLA has an impressive 421 hp and an acceleration of 4.3 seconds from 0 to 100 a sports suspension with lowering.
