Summary

The 2016 GLA 200 is worth buying for fast performance (0-100 to 8.2 s) and for the smoothness of the petrol engine, which is superior to diesel models. You may not consider it if you travel a lot and require minimal fuel costs, as its consumption is significantly higher than Diesel variants. This model is the ideal solution for those who want a compact SUV with a sporty feel and not bothered by the slightly higher fuel cost.
