The streets will soon be flooded with these pumped up A-Class?

It took a while before Mercedes an answer to the Audi Q3 and BMW X1, but with the advent of the new A-class and its MFA (Modular Front Architecture) platform, they have the building blocks to compete. They do this in the form of the 4,42 metres long, 1.8 metres wide and 1,49 metres high GLA. An a-Class on steroids, where we just have to get used.

Mercedes’ contribution in the popular crossover-fight comes in march 2014 when the dealers. Available as GLA 200 (156 hp), GLA 250 (211 hp), while dieselaars the choice of a 2.2-litre four-cylinder engine in the GLA 200 CDI (136 hp, 300 Nm) or GLA 220 CDI (170 hp, 350 Nm). A little later follows of course, the GLA 45 AMG.

Why this red one with AMG package on a Dutch car park to amsterdam Schiphol airport? Who knows. Test or advocacy work may be. According to spotter @redrum, he would be on the road to Johannesburg, but not before he in full regalia on Autojunk appeared. View photos HIERR.
