The Mercedes-AMG GLA 35 and Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 S are already available in the Spanish market. They are cars that do not have much logic, we are not going to fool ourselves, but that spicy is irresistible. They are sports versions of the compact SUV Mercedes GLA, which develop 306 and 421 hp respectively.
Both were presented months ago, but it has not been until these days when the star brand has put them up for sale in Spain. They are not cars with a high volume of sales. Keep in mind that prices are high. The GLA 35 starts in 63.950 Euros, while the most extreme GLA 45 S starts from the 84.875 Euros.
Both versions use same engine. It is a block of four cylinders with 1.991 cubic centimeters, supercharged by a twin-scroll turbo. They are always associated with automatic gearbox, while the traction is shared between the four wheels with the system AMG Performance 4Matic. But there are important differences between them -besides the price-.
