2020 Geneva MotorShow - Mercedes
Mercedes GLA
- Mercedes has unveiled the new generation of its C segment SUV, the GLA, which is based on the recent Class A and Class B. It therefore takes up the MFA platform but slightly increases its dimensions (like the Class A and CLA) which allows you to have a third side window, which completely changes its physiognomy since it is closer to a real SUV, while the previous GLA looked more like an enhanced Class A than a real SUV.
- The new GLA will be produced at the German site in Rastatt, alongside the A Class A and B Class. It is to note that the A Class is partly produced in Rastatt and partly produced in Kecskemét in Hungary.
- Inovev forecasts a volume of 150,000 sales per year, while the production of the old GLA fell to 110,000 units in 2019, after reaching a peak of 140,000 units in 2017.
- The GLA is the smallest SUV in the Mercedes range which is made up of the GLC (segment D), GLE (segment E) and GLS (segment F), as well as the G-Class which falls into the category of SUVs called "rustic" like the Jeep Wrangler.
