Grippier and More Powerful, the Gla Is All Set to Rejoin the Party

- Paranjay Dutt

Back in the ‘90s, I, as a 10-year old dork, was intrigued by how manufacturers could share platforms among their cars to save on cost. My only concern then was that it would have made all cars look identical. Thankfully, such is not the case here. So when the GLA was launched, no one said that it was just an A-Class on stilts, or a downsized GLK, for that matter. Now, after more than 3,500 units sold — sizeable number for a premium vehicle — the GLA distances itself from its lesser cousins, with an all-wheeldrive system and other bits to justify the slightly more premium positioning. Welcome the GLA 220 d 4MATIC.

2025 KTM 390 ADVENTURE

What makes a perfect shot? It's a cocktail of many elements — the right settings, correct gear, and a great environment. But more often than not, the defining factor behind a killer image is a giant pair of cojones — belonging equally to rider and photographer. Naturally, a few loose screws help, too. Thankfully, and rather coincidentally, Manaal and I align on this philosophy. How else would he willingly hoist a 21-inch wheel right up to my wide-angle lens, trusting that neither of us will cross paths catastrophically? We do have enough screws in the right places to not swap positions... Well, at least, that's what we tell ourselves.
