Mercedes-Benz GLA
As the German automaker’s entry-level crossover, the Mercedes-Benz GLA is available in three trim levels including 250 4MATIC, AMG 35 4MATIC and AMG 45 4MATIC+. As the names imply, all-wheel drive comes standard across the line. A turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine can be found under the hood, producing anywhere between 221 horsepower and 382 horsepower. Shifting is handled by an eight-speed automatic transmission. Due to the GLA’s diminutive size, cargo capacity is pretty limited.
