Mercedes-Benz has been seen at the Nurburgring testing a pre-production version of its GLA-Class – complete with jaunty taxi sign.
Based on the recently revealed GLA Concept, the crossover stands 1.57 metres tall, 4.38m long, 1.97m wide, 1.57m tall and has a wheelbase of 2.69m, placing it in the same segment as the BMW X1 and Audi’s Q3.
Sharing the same platform and drivetrains as the A-Class, the GLA will initially be offered with a 155 kW (211 hp) 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine mated to a 4MATIC all-wheel drive system, with a flagship GLA 45 AMG version, using the glorious 265 kW (360 hp) unit found in the A 45 AMG, following later.
