GLA: women's favorite Mercedes

Julio 21, 2020

El Mercedes GLA since it was launched in 2014 it is the Mercedes favorite for women and new GLA SUV follows the same line.

The new GLA SUV is designed for “young at heart” people

The GLA was initially conceived as an off-road vehicle although its successor, the new GLA, is conceived as a SUV vehicle but with very contained dimensions what makes it a perfect urban SUV since it is ideal for driving around the city.

Its dimensions allow the new GLA SUV adapt perfectly to all users and all terrains and conditions.

We already knew that Mercedes-Benz had long had its eye on the female audience, a more demanding public that knows perfectly what it wants, which is why this vehicle with its spectacular design has been capable of making so many women fall in love.

Also focused on a digital native user the new Mercedes GLA is the order of the day in terms of digitalization and it contains the MBUX system as standard, which if you are a digital native you will already know what it refers to. For those who are not, the acronym refers to Mercedes-Benz User Xperience.

MBUX is Mercedes' multimedia infotainment system that consists, among others, of artificial intelligence, augmented reality or being able to do endless things with the vehicle simply by talking to it. It seems surreal, right? I assure you that it is not and that is why we invite you to get to know it.

Soon we will have a special exclusive to the MBUX system in which we will talk at length about him. Stay tuned because I'm already telling you that the new MBUX system makes your Mercedes a totally different vehicle from the rest.

The Mercedes S Class was already the favorite of women in 2014

It is nothing new for Mercedes that a car is very attractive for women. Already in 2014, the Mercedes S-Class received the highest distinction as the car preferred by women in the luxury vehicle segment.

A group of women vehicle experts from different countries participated in the contest that took place in New Zealand (Australia). These 20 women experts in the field of motors focused on aspects such as design, comfort and functionality to classify it.

Now, in 2020, the new Mercedes GLA SUV has improved compared to the previous model, has evolved and focuses on three fundamental pillars:

The interior space:

We came from a GLA in which the rear seats could be a little small, with the new GLA we will no longer have this feeling since its interior space has increased making it more comfortable for passengers.

The new GLA is taller and shorter than the previous model, but don't be fooled since the fact that it is shorter does not mean that we have less space, but rather that it has increased; As we have already said before, the interior space and the most benefited part of this change has been in the space we have for the legs in the rear seats; they have gained up to 12 cm.

El Trunk volume has also increased considerably. If you want to know more about the changes compared to the old model, I recommend that you read our previous article in which we made the comparison between GLA load capacities vs. CLA coupe.

Security enhancement:

As expected and being one of the attributes that has always accompanied Mercedes-Benz, the new GLA SUV have the latest advances in safety and driving assistance systems.

In addition, the new GLA SUV has the active brake assist, a system that will anticipate you if for some reason you do not brake the vehicle in time.

For example, we find a pedestrian crossing the road in a place with reduced visibility and for whatever reason you have not stepped on the brake, in this case the Active brake assist system will brake the Mercedes for us, avoiding abuse as much as possible.

Efficiency improvement:

It could not be less considering that today efficiency is an issue with which vehicle brands and Mercedes-Benz in particular are very sensitive.

The new GLA SUV consists of 4 engines different but all of them with the same objective, to reduce consumption, reduce emissions and provide greater performance to the new GLA.

The engines are divided into 2 gasoline and two diesel:

  • 200 of 150 HP Gasoline
  • 250 4MATIC of 224 Gasoline
  • 200d of 150CV (front or 4MATIC) Diesel
  • 220d 4MATIC 190 HP Diesel

In addition, the new plug-in hybrid, the new GLA 250e which combines an electric motor with a gasoline one, a great alternative if you want to enjoy a large SUV with low consumption.
