2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class GLA 250

The GLA is Mercedes' smallest SUV, a subcompact crossover that slots below the GLC and competes with the BMW X1 and Audi Q3. The GLA feels nimble and eager in town, with a light steering touch that makes it easy to park and dart through traffic. The ride is on the firm side, especially with the larger wheels, but it stays composed over broken pavement. Inside, the GLA has a modern, tech-forward cabin with a dual-screen setup and a surprisingly roomy rear seat for its size. The GLA 250 gives you the smallest Mercedes-Benz SUV with a roomier rear seat than the X1 or Q3, and you can have it with front-wheel drive for a lower price. Its 2.0L I4 makes 221 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, paired with the eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, and it returns 27 mpg combined.
