If your new-car search has ultimately led you to the compact luxury crossover class, we here at Mercedes-Benz of Walnut Creek suggest you do yourself a solid and give ours, the 2017 GLA-Class, a go.

And why, exactly, is that?

Allow carwow pundit Mat Wason to explain; he's here with more on all things GLA-Class:

Served up standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, the base GLA 250 model makes a muscly 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is standard, as is front-wheel drive. The 4MATIC® all-wheel platform, meanwhile, is available as an option.

We also appreciate its fuel economy. When had in front-drive form, for instance, the GLA 250 will return a robust 27 mpg combined (24 city/33 highway).

To learn more about this capable crossover, or to take one for a spin, we suggest you set a course for our Walnut Creek, CA location. Our automotive enthusiasts are on hand to address your every query about the GLA-Class, or any other Mercedes-Benz model within the current lineup.
