Mercedes-Benz GLA is the next Merc for masses on Indian shores in the coming months. About to share the space with BMW X1, Audi Q3 and their likes, the GLA is based on the same A-Class platform, but just a hint of crossover appeal had made it to turn into a GLA.
The newest thing in floor of GLA for India is that, the vehicle has landed on our shores for the homologation test.
Two models of GLA are imported from Germany, claims a report on internet.
