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 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 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...

Mercedes-AMG’s turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine used in the tuner’s compact cars like the A45 and CLA45 produces 355 horsepower, but Audi has upped the ante with its 362-hp RS 3 Sportback. Mercedes-AMG isn’t one to back away from a challenge and is reported to be...

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...

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...

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...
