Following the first look at the automobile and ahead of this weekend’s official unveiling at the Shanghai Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz has released a detailed video look of the upcoming GLA Concept. A premium class compact crossover that “combines its sporting spirit with the all-round qualities of a tough, leisure-time companion,” the GLA Concept takes inspiration from both the A-Class hatchback and CLA-Class sedan and is expected to feature a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine (or the choice of a diesel equivalent), capable of around 300 hp, along with either a seven-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission and luxurious details throughout. Stay tuned for full specs and additional info following this weekend’s unveiling and, in the meantime, enjoy the detailed look at the vehicle above.
