MERCEDES is plotting a massive overhaul of its SUV range with five new models by the end of the decade. And set to form a vital piece of the puzzle will be an all-new GLA crossover.
The GLA will remain the smallest, cheapest member of the SUV family, and even though the current model received a mid-life refresh at January’s Detroit Motor Show, the second-generation car is already undergoing development testing ahead of a debut expected in 2019.
