For 2021, the GLA-class is a clean-sheet redesign. While it still resembles the previous-generation GLA-class, the new model looks more premium inside and out, which will help it blend with the throng of Mercedes-Benz SUVs that launched for the 2019 and 2020 model years. It shares a platform with the brand's other small offerings, including the slightly larger GLB-class SUV and the entry-level A-class sedan.

Pros
Responsive handling,
lots of available features,
interesting design.

Cons
Cramped interior,
uncomfortable ride,
not as luxurious as a Benz should be.

Features one of today's best, most advanced infotainment systems
Mercedes badge at an affordable price

Most of the GLA's advanced safety features are optional

Roomier rear seats
Extensive options

Expensive options
Some options should be standard
Small cargo area
Can’t wait for the GLA45
