Mercedes-Benz has launched the 2017 model year GLA SUV in India at Rs 30.65 Lakh (All India ex-showroom). 

The update for the GLA includes minor cosmetic upgrade with a new infotainment system on the inside. The updated GLA Class was revealed at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show earlier this year.

The modernized GLA has been fitted with a redesigned bumper both fore and aft. The headlight units have been tweaked with new lightning signature while the tail lights get a new LED treatment. The grille has also been tweaked a bit with a dash of chrome. 

From inside, it features the same dashboard with a different theme and an updated 8-inch infotainment system that now supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 

Mechanically, the GLA facelift carries forward the same set of engines. The GLA 200 petrol version is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine which produces 183PS of power and 300Nm of torque. The GLA 200 d offers the 2.1-litre diesel engine that makes 136PS/300Nm (FWD) and 172PS/350Nm (4MATIC - AWD). Both the engines are mated to a 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. 

The GLA continues to compete with the likes of BMW X1, Audi Q3, Mini Countryman and the newly introduced Volkswagen Tiguan.
