Sweet looking ride you say, well you may be paying about $9000 more above the B-class version price for those looks. The bonus here is you get the 4Matic AWD system standard.
The 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 apart from the 4Matic AWD is actually mechanically identical to the Mercedes-Benz B-class. They both have the same engine, same seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and a 2699 mm wheelbase. Although the B-class weighs 30 kg less and offers more front and rear head room. The B-class has a larger cargo area with the rear seats up 488 L versus the GLA’s 421, and with them folded down 1,547 versus the GLA’s 1,235. Even with the smaller interior volume the GLA is still 58 mm longer than a B-class.The GLA 250 0-100 km/h time comes in at 7.2-seconds, respectable for around 200 horsepower.
The extra 30kg could be attributed to the standard AWD system on the GLA. The 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 is estimated to cost you around $38,975 Canadian dollars versus the entry level B-class price of $30,500 Canadian dollars. That's around $9000 extra to get the look and 4Matic AWD system, a pretty hefty price indeed.
