MERCEDES GLA
Model range SUV Price From £31,460 Kerbweight From 1480kg
THE SECOND GENERATION of the Mercedes-Benz GLA is now in showrooms. Although this range is the smallest of the Mercedes SUV family, even the lightest GLA has a kerbweight of 1480kg, so makes a sensible match for lightweight caravans.
There is a choice of petrol, diesel, hybrid and high-performance AMG models, which means the GLA should appeal to a broad range of needs and budgets.

More space, more tech
Compared with the previous GLA, the new model is a little shorter, but considerably taller. Inside, it promises greater headroom in the front and more legroom in the back. The driving position is higher than before – think proper SUV proportions, rather than jumped-up hatchback.
Boot size increases, too, offering a capacity of 445 to 495 litres with the back seats upright, depending on the model. However, that’s beaten by the Audi Q3’s 530-litre capacity.
