Most Helpful Review

Great, but there's always room for improvement.

I was able to test ride it for a few KMs, performance is unmatched by anything I've driven before, and features and range are also good. There are some areas where there's room for improvement, There's a space in front of the shifter where you have to keep your phone if you want to use Android Auto/ Apple CarPlay, it's really awkward to access as it's built deep, the infotainment system has a room for a lot of improvement, it's laggy and slow to respond, and just should be better.

Amazing car except mileage

Amazing car and everything is just good except mileage. It gives hardly 6kmpl only while company claims at 13.9kmpl. So check mileage before buying as very poor it is. Other all is fantastic.

Mercedes GLA 220d 4MATIC First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre15 Jul 2021

The previous-gen GLA had received some flak for its low slung back coupe-like styling, but now the new-gen corrects all that with its more upright stance and bigger proportions, and as a result has more space inside than before. Needless to say, the interior quality is luxurious and is now more attractive with HD screens and new tech. This diesel engine is not only frugal but packs in a sprightly performance for an SUV that's fun to drive. Though this top-of-the-line 4MATIC trim priced at Rs 57.89 lakh on-road makes it expensive than its rivals, it's a package that can convince you to shell out that extra premium!
