About

The Mercedes-Benz GLA 200 CDI Sport is a compact luxury crossover that combines stylish design with practical features. Powered by a 2.2-liter inline-4 diesel engine, it produces 134 PS and 300 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The interior is well-appointed with features like adjustable driver seats with memory settings, though the rear seat space is just adequate and not ideal for tall passengers. The car comes with a range of safety features, including reverse parking sensors and airbags, although the passenger airbag needs to be manually activated. The GLA 200 CDI Sport also offers a comfortable ride, especially on average quality roads, and its elevated seating provides a good view. However, it lacks the excitement of its petrol sibling and some might find the diesel engine a bit noisy. Overall, its a solid choice for those looking for a luxurious, feature-rich, and practical vehicle.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Mercedes-Benz GLA 200 CDI Sport is a mixed bag when it comes to overall driving experience. While it boasts a sleek and visually appealing design that turns heads, its diesel engine, though frugal, lacks the excitement and peppy feel that its petrol counterpart or even some of its competitors offer. The 2.2-liter diesel engine produces 134 PS and 300 Nm of torque, which is sufficient for practical use but not particularly thrilling for enthusiasts. The heavier steering and slightly stiffer suspension in the diesel variant make it less engaging to drive compared to the petrol version. However, it compensates with its liberal equipment list, practicality, and a comfortable ride, especially on average quality roads. For those prioritizing visual appeal, equipment, and practicality over driving excitement, the GLA 200 CDI Sport is a solid choice.

Price

In India, the Mercedes-Benz GLA 200 CDI Sport is priced around Rs 36.9 lakh ex-showroom. When you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes, registration, and insurance, the price can easily cross Rs 42 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. This places the GLA 200 CDI Sport in a competitive segment where it faces stiff competition from other luxury crossovers. While the price may seem steep, the brands reputation for quality, the extensive list of features, and the overall luxury experience it offers make it a viable option for those willing to invest in a premium vehicle.

Monday, 20 November 2023 11:02 PM Mercedes has updated the GLA 200 CDI Sport with a new 48-volt mild hybrid system, which enhances fuel efficiency and provides a boost of 13 horsepower during acceleration.

Wednesday, 15 March 2023 08:26 PM Mercedes has addressed previous complaints about passenger space in the GLA by increasing legroom in the second row by 5 inches compared to the previous generation.

Tuesday, 10 January 2023 07:56 PM The GLA 200 CDI Sports diesel engine is noted for its refinement, despite some clatter at idle and when extended.
