Got the new GLA 220D in Sept. 2021 from Autohangar - Churni Road - Mumbai. The entire transaction was smooth and the dealer could manage to get my color and model within reasonable time - considering the car was launched in May 2021, they got the car within 3 months of booking
Initial 500 KM I was getting a light drag in second gear and post-breaking push - that eased out after the first 500 KM and now it is smooth. Pick up and punch is fantastic and driving is a pleasure. I chose this over A and C class sedan as I wanted a better ground clearance [considering Mumbai / Thane and Navi Mumbai bumps - and it proved to be a right decision
I am happy with the looks and overjoyed with the performance. I always preferred sedans but this car is so smooth to handle, specially on the curves and across bumps - I am happy that I made the departure. One can really feel the individual suspension over bad roads. In city the consumption is a bit high - but it makes up on highways.
I had sent the car for a three month's inspection and free service and that was fine. I pre-purchased 10 years of service and would recommend that - since the service is transferable
On the Con part - there are very few things that I can count - one : the Boot could have been bigger, two : it is expensive, with a 10 year Maintenance, 6 years warranty, 8 years of engine warranty and a PPF coating - it came to 62 Lakhs and three: the instrument panel is highly advanced and takes time to adjust to
