Mercedes-AMG's second-generation GLA45 will boast as much as 416 horsepower.

A Mercedes-AMG GLA35 compact crossover with 302 horsepower is coming.

You may think you're looking at a 7/8 scale Mercedes-Benz GLA. Instead, what you see is a vehicle called the K-One. It's an electric crossover SUV of sorts, and it's being prepared for the Chinese market. Despite being a bit smaller than the real GLA, the K-One is still faithful enough to the...

The next-generation of Mercedes-Benz compact cars are likely in for smaller powerplants, according to a new report from Autocar. Developed under the M282 code name, the engines will reportedly displace 1.2 and 1.4 liters and bear an inline-4 configuration. The German marque is said to be targeting...

We first saw the Mercedes-Benz GLA as a 2015 model; here in Detroit, Mercedes showed the an updated version of its small, front-wheel-drive-based crossover as a 2018 model. The changes for the GLA 250 and performance-oriented GLA 45 are mostly cosmetic. Let's start with the GLA 250. On the outside...

The Mercedes-AMG GLA45 may be classified as an SUV, but it is much closer to a hot hatch in reality. That doesn’t detract from the car’s ability to put a massive smile on your face, as we discovered during a first drive at the launch a bit over two years ago. With the entire GLA range...

Mercedes-Benz’s GLA is about to receive its mid-cycle update and we’ll see it for the first time at the 2017 Detroit auto show. The automaker has released this single teaser shot which reveals a few subtle tweaks will be made as part of the update. The Mercedes GLA first went on sale in...

The Mercedes-Benz GLA first went on sale in 2013, although it didn’t reach the United States until the following year, arriving as a 2015 model. That means it’s about due for its mid-cycle update, which will see a few minor tweaks made, as indicated by this prototype spotted near...

Mercedes-Benz’s GLA only arrived a year ago but is already coming in for a round of updates. The changes aren’t major so there’s no need to despair if you were one of the early adopters, but they do bring the GLA closer in line with versions of the compact crossover sold overseas...

When Mercedes-Benz unveiled its updated A-Class range last month, we learned that the high-performance A45 variant from Mercedes-AMG would be coming with an uprated engine spitting out a crazy 375 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. We also said that the extra spicy 2.0-liter turbo four would...

Let's get one thing straight right up front: Despite its model name, the 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG--soon to be a Mercedes-AMG GLA45--is no GL-like utility vehicle. It may have all-wheel drive, but the high-performance sibling of the far more common 2015 GLA250 model sits far closer to the...

Hot hatch fans of the U.S., you are increasingly out of luck in the form of proper fun-to-drive fast hatchbacks aside from a few notable examples. But, looking forward, the future of the hot crossover is ever brighter—and before you dismiss the idea out of hand, consider this, the 2015...

If you like Mercedes-Benz cars but find the brand's own AMG line isn't quite fast or eye-catching enough, you've probably heard of Brabus. The Bottrop-based tuner modifies Smarts to S-Classes and everything in between—and now it's turned its attention to the brand-new GLA-Class crossover...

Depending on how successful Mercedes-Benz’s new coupe crossover based on the Concept Coupe SUV is, we could see the German automaker launch more of the style-oriented vehicles including one based on the latest GLA-Class. The first, tipped to be called an MLC, will be based on the bones of the...

Punchy four-cylinder turbos in compact luxury vehicles have already proved their worth in several brands’ recent offerings, perhaps none better than 2014 Best Car To Buy winner, the Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG. But what about a taller, slightly more rugged take on that concept? Enter the Concept...

Mercedes-Benz’s new compact range has proven a hit in the markets where the stylish offerings are sold, and it looks like that success will be repeated in the U.S. The automaker’s local chief, Steve Cannon, is confident of reaching 60,000 combined annual sales split evenly between the...
