Among the many models of Mercedes-Benz, cross-border style full of GLA, is undoubtedly one of the most powerful tilted to the younger one, so it is also a lot of young consumers purchase of a luxury car. Although Mercedes-Benz GLA all aspects of performance are pretty good, but from 2013 listed so far, the car has been a full six years, no major updating, and overall competitiveness had been a marked decline.
However, a few days ago, a new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLA has finally officially unveiled. Inside and outside the car has a big change, before it is looking a bit like wearing high heels car, and now finally grew up, became a SUV. “Cars” into SUV, Mercedes-Benz GLA actually change what place? In order to more intuitively understand that we can change, following Jiang brother to fast by four points so that we find out.
1 change: The latest family front design, a more coordinated, younger
The first and most prominent is the appearance of the front face changes in the appearance of a new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLA family using the latest design, stars style grille with huge three-pointed star Logo, silver trim also from the two became one, looking significantly higher than cash twin-spoke design is more soft coordination number.
side still maintained a smooth rounded design, the tail is to spend the same section of the GLC taillight styling, texture significantly enhanced.
2 changes: shorter vehicle length, width, height, were increased wheelbase
The change in appearance is very good , but the body size of the adjustment, it was a bit puzzled. A new generation of GLA not only did not like now lengthened body most new cars, but also made shorter, previously 4449mm long car now becomes 4410mm.
Fortunately, width, height, wheelbase has increased, especially the most critical height SUV, directly up 76mm, precisely because of this change, so the next generation will be said GLA grew into a SUV.
3 changes: through the screen itself, the sense of luxury to strengthen
In addition to the obvious size change, a new generation of GLA also become more luxury. The new Mercedes-Benz GLA to put a new interior design language, which is the Mercedes A-Class, Mercedes-Benz design element GLB used. One of the most prominent is that of natural science and technology to enhance the sense of luxury and a sense of control even through the meter in the screen.
Interior GLB Benz
Since the C-class, E class have to spend 1.5 T after small-displacement engines, Mercedes-Benz in the small displacement this road farther and farther. Now it is even more directly to the 1.6T engine on cash GLA to cancel, dress up on the latest 1.3T engine. Although both of roughly equal power argument, but in the eyes of consumers in the pursuit of that dignity, displacement, Mercedes-Benz of this operation should be criticized. Of course, if the price of small displacement can be lower, we still willing to accept.
while the power is still retained 2.0T, and dynamic parameters has been strengthened, the maximum power is increased to 224 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 cow middot; m, matching the eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, high powered models with 4MATIC four-wheel drive system also provides data fairly well, but when the formal entry into the country or not this kind, it would have to make a question mark.
from a holistic point of view changes, the new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLA is already some brand new flavor. So close to a comprehensive upgrade of the Mercedes-Benz GLA can emancipated serfs to sing, pressed in the entry luxury SUV brand in this market segment fared best three-cylinder BMW X1 it?
From the available information point of view, compared to the BMW X1, the new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLA biggest weakness orSpace. Although the new car in width, height and wheelbase have a not a small improvement, but to a large space and the famous BMW X1 than up, it still has not a small gap. And its length is shortened, the overall visual effect should also become small, which makes it easy for consumers to its performance space skeptical.
The second is that the price is now cash-Benz GLA Price (26.48-38.58 million) than the BMW X1 (27.68-36.98 million) slightly lower, but the market is also more favorable, but sales are reflecting consumers prefer to choose the BMW X1. After that renewal, GLA pricing is indeed a problem. You know, in accordance with the tonality of Mercedes-Benz, the new car market is generally less favorable market, then you want to attract consumers with strong prices, the odds do not.
However, Mercedes-Benz overall product strategy point of view, the introduction of new GLA is not meant to go it alone, and it will GLB a combination of both entry into the Mercedes-Benz SUV Gemini, attack the BMW X1. If an enemy with two, then perhaps the outcome is not the same, to counter-attack when Mercedes-Benz really might be successful, do you think?
