2014 Mercedes GLA spy

In 2014, this Mercedes GLA on the market. The smallest crossover SUV annex that the manufacturer has ever made is based on the platform of the new A-class and a direct competitor to the BMW X1 and Audi Q3.

The GLA will be the fourth model that based on the new front-wheel drive (MFD - Mercedes Front Wheel Architecture) on the market. Besides the A-Class, B-Class and the beginning of 2013 to present CLA, these models, along with an unknown fifth body variant, the base of the new Mercedes-range. And that's pretty it expand its market share Mercedes. Never before was the manufacturer from Stuttgart since (as) strong performance in this segment.

Family Band
The Mercedes GLA adds not only a fourth model to the entry level range, but in addition it is also the youngest member in the family. With the G-Class as grandfather, the GL and ML, respectively father and mother and the GLK as older brother can at Mercedes-Benz have sufficient experience to share on the GLA to apply. However, there is an essential difference, the MFA platform is built on Mercedes wheel actuators. And that none of the other SUVs of the brand. The GLK is also the only two-wheel drive available, but in that case the rear wheels provide traction. Fear not means that Mercedes-Benz will deliver not worthy because despite the lack of differentials and other necessary field techniques the GLA course, as 4Matic are available. The system was presented last week to the CLA and especially for the front-wheel drive models on the MFA platform. Mercedes knowing you're covered mustache.

On time
about the design of the GLA does not bar a lot to say all the lines are easy to recall to mind. Grab an A-, B-and CLA-class, take this spy shots there and with a little imagination, the camouflage panels are easy to imagine. Before you confirm whether you get the good intended, we must also take some patience. In 2011, the B-Class is the main subject, 2012 is dominated by the A-class and next year, the CLA all the attention. Count so that the Mercedes GLA until 2014 the market will come. Just in time for the by then face lifted Audi Q3 and BMW X1 retirement than it quite difficult to make.
