UK pricing and specification details for the Mercedes GLA 35 4Matic have been revealed, with the car available to order now for deliveries in late summer.
The Mercedes-AMG-tuned performance model, which sits underneath the flagship Mercedes-AMG GLA 45, is priced from £43,565. That's over £14,000 less than the cheapest GLA 45, although the 35's price rises depending on spec as the Premium and Premium plus equipment lines command a further £2,500 and £3,500 respectively.
The GLA35 uses a 302bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine, putting out 295lb ft of torque, combined with an all-wheel drive system to enable a 0-62mph tim of 5.1sec and a top speed of 155mph. Fuel economy is quoted at up to 34.5mpg combined, with CO2 emissions as low as 186g/km depending on spec.
Standard versions of the Mercedes GLA compact SUV are available from £32,640 in entry-level Sport trim, which can be specified with a 161bhp turbocharged 1.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine or, for an additional £1100, a 2.0-litre diesel that puts out 148bhp.
Standard equipment at this price point includes 18in alloy wheels, heated front seats, a 7.0in infotainment touchscreen and dual-zone air conditioning.
Prices climb to £34,140 for Sport Executive trim, which brings front and rear parking sensors alongside upgraded interior technology, and rise through three grades of AMG Line trim to top-spec AMG Line Premium Plus, which starts at £38,640. Engine options available towards the top of the range include a 187bhp four-cylinder diesel and a turbocharged petrol unit with 221bhp.
Prices for the hot AMG GLA 45 and new GLA 250e plug-in hybrid are yet to be announced.
2020 Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 unveiled with up to 416bhp
The original GLA was launched five years ago, and almost a million have been sold globally since then. As with its predecessor, the new model, due on sale in the UK in the second quarter of 2020, draws heavily on the closely related Mercedes A-Class.

What does that even mean? I tried substituting "our" for "out", but it still doesn't make any sense.
Just like the regular A class
