The GLA is arriving late next year and will be launched on the market in spring 2014 both in Europe and North America. This new little SUV under the Three Pointed Star brand will be available in both front-wheel-drive and 4MATIC all-wheel-drive versions, while the entire engine lineup is to be shared with the A-Class and B-Class. There are no plans for building an AMG sports variant for the GLA at the moment, but we cannot phase out this possibility just yet. Production of the new Mercedes-Benz model will take place at Rastatt, Germany, and Kecskemét, Hungary. If you wonder about the looks, the GLA-Class will display the new progressive styling language as its compact brothers and we expect a concept car hinting at the finished product to be unveiled in the course of 2013, like in the case of the A-Class and upcoming CLA-Class.
