GLA [Official] Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class (X156)

[klier]

It's the best looking between A, CLA and GLA. But that isn't saying an aweful lot. I hate the shape of the headlights, and the interior is on Seat/Skoda levels.

The profile and rear are quite nice though...

^ you do work for Mercedes dealership right? I though you had better understanding of how automotive industry works. This is a facelift for heavens sake and the vehicle in question is not a significant sales puller. No automotive company would ever invest millions on such an extensive facelift when a brand new replacement vehicle is just 3-4 years away. The infinity in question is a brand new vehicle on the MFA platform, there is a difference! GLA was launched in 2014 which means its design was finalized during 2008/2009 period.

Yes, almost 19 years. I've been through a number of facelifts and i've seen them completely rework the dash on the C-class, move shifters, etc. So, yes, it can be done, and your tone sounds insulting. I'm speaking to offering materials that are Mercedes level, not fully redesigning the car itself. The infiniti offers a lower base price and is not a brand new vehicle. It is more than simply the platform. it is a rebadged GLA chassis, with a bolt on items reworked by suppliers, much of which is simply cosmetic.

Meh!

[PHYBENZ]

Yup and wheels...

Better materials are still needed as is on road refinement. Still though I like it better than the CLA.

I find poor refinement to be characteristics of entry level crossovers. They might look like small SUVs but more than often they drive like raised hatchbacks and with that comes compromises in the name of price. Even the BMW X1 isn't amazing to drive and rides less premium than its larger siblings.

The new hood emblem should become available in mid January.

The Comfort Exclusive package with black leather embossed with buffalo grain.

The luxury Exclusive package supplements the previous Exclusive package with luxury seats featuring SUV-specific black leather in a buffalo look. The trim parts used here are a choice of trapezium-grain aluminium, light brown satin-finish poplar wood, plus high-gloss brown walnut. Especially exclusive: matt black ash wood or AMG trim parts in carbon fibre.

[Mr. Mercedes]

MB Australia is treating this car like a sub premium product. You can only have a leather interior if you specify the AMG package. And even then that's black red cut leather or nothing. We have none of the leather options available in other markets.

In the quest for volume MB Australia continuously removes the ability for its customers to customize vehicles across the range and select options as you require them. Our options sheets are now very short and don't have half the items available overseas, particularly on higher end models.

They also limit the choices of wheels as well. specing the E class is frustrating because of the extremely limited interior color and trim combination as well as the lack of choice in wheels. Why do they force customers to have the same wheel selection for say the E 200 and the E 400?

The chrome surrounds on the fog lamps look ridiculous. Seriously?
