Summary

The 2016 GLA 180d is worth buying for extreme fuel efficiency and the lowest starting price in the GLA FAMILY. You may not consider it if you're looking for power (slower acceleration) or four-wheel drive (it's FWD). This model is ideal for long economic journeys and as a premium SUV for the city. Due to the engine developed in collaboration with Renault, maintenance is generally cheaper than models with 2.1 L engines. This manual version is particularly appealing to those who prefer direct control over the gear and seek to avoid the potential cost of double-fraction maintenance (DCT).
