Mercedes Benz India’s range of SUVs has grown further with the addition of the all wheel drive equipped GLA Activity Edition. Priced at Rs 38.51 lakhs, ex-showroom, Pune, the vehicle is the ninth launch for the company this year.

Changes on the outside include new 18-inch alloys, chrome detailing on the sides, and black decals on the doors. It also gets Off Road package as a part of the standard equipment. On the inside, there is a new eight-inch infotainment system (complete with Apple CarPlay), electrically operated tailgate, etc. And if that doesn’t set it apart from the regular GLA, there are ‘Activity Edition’ badges on the front fender, and new floor mats with its name etched on them. You can also have the vehicle in a new shade, called Mountain Grey.

Addition of the 4MATIC all-wheel drive system is complemented by increased power (167bhp) and torque (350Nm) from the 2.2-litre diesel engine. Thanks to which, the GLA 220 d Activity Edition can reach 0-100km/h in 7.7 seconds.

All this makes the GLA a worthy member of six-vehicle SUV line-up Mercedes Benz India currently has. We like!
