Mercedes-Benz has launched the 2017 GLA in India at Rs 30.65 lakh, ex-showroom. The updated GLA was first shown last year just before the Detroit Motor Show. The changes that the new GLA gets over the previous model have made it look sportier as well as more premium. The entry-level SUV from Mercedes-Benz competes with the likes of the BMW X1 and the Audi Q3.
