3.5M is quite high for this car, not forgetting the small engine and cramped up space. You can definitely get better value from competitors. As always, good review boys 👊🏽
Ukweli uko hapa bana💀😂 wasee wa merc, oyee😂 Feedback: Interior features mchambue zaidi as u used to... nowadays it's about lether seats(mnamjua huyu msee), sun roof na space and comfort(jamaa wa here behind😂) Wokabi let's know the ideal tech in each car and maybe what to focus om when it comes to interior... Thanks for your consideration. Keep up the good work!
For 3.5M naaah… you can get a better drive thrill from a slightly older model but well maintained for the Benz purists and other models if one doesn’t mind. Great review guys.
It's another interesting episode with the carnversologist himself i am eagerly waiting for this....i am requesting that you do the landcruiser79 series someday i really like that machine
Leo mumeleta Mercedes mwitu. BMW x1 imechapa hii gari bila hata comparison. But this is the reason you dont get entry level cars from Luxury brands. Zinaundwa na madharau
3.5? What a ripoff! My gosh people are hypnotised by brands! For that get a really fast and way more spacious car like the Golf R Variant! Almost 3x the power. Your ratings are too generous 😂
@ewokabi... i miss the use of keywords like mbwakinii....painkillers.....kindly find us reviews of legal after market changes for example if its possible to change exterior color from the one in the logbook
The A-Class on which this GLA is based is being discontinued for 2024 onwards. The current GLA (Gen2) is on a new platform MFA2 and MMA thereafter. This GLA has served its purpose of getting younger buyers into the Mercedes brand. The GLA 45AMG is a real fire-breathing pocket rocket, though it misses out on drift mode that the AMG A45 has. If you want a car that not everyone has, it's not a bad car. But get the 4matic versions. Sure, you can have a Mazda CX-5 or Subaru XV for less, but almost everyone almost everyonethe office carpark would have one too.
Gari iko sawa!! 💯 I'm a Mercedes fanboy, lakini iyo bei joh 😅 but sadly that's the market price in Kenya. Btw why are all Mercedes cars overpriced? Definitely sio reliability or class coz we currently have better alternative cars on the road in Kenya. "Erick with a CK" kindly teach us in your next explainer video, why are some cars overpriced in Kenya? 🙂
Mimi bora tu ni Mercedes sina shida nayo, hii nikipewa napokea kwa mikono miwili. My question is, I have never seen Ibrahim and Mbugua driving. Ama hawajui 😂😂😂
This is the base model GLA. You should have mentioned the more powerful gla250 4matic. Its a 4 wheel drive with over 209hp. It offers better value for its price point.
A VW Golf R Variant clears above 300hp, comes with all the features and loads more space….yeah still GLA in Kenya is hype…people are brainwashed with Merc and Toyota brands so as usual one overpays
@@Pkari sir, seems your knowledge on German cars is top notch, congrats! 👏🏿 Now, would you advise someone to take the VW Golf R Variant or BMW X1? TIA!
@@ruirukariuki2033 I'm just a curious petrol head, not so technical, Asante lakini :) On the 2 cars you ask it fully depends on what you are looking for between Performance and Practicality! My perspective: Performance - Last I checked there was no version of BMW X1 pushing anywhere near 300hp with clever diffs and all-wheel drive - so in the performance battle the Golf R is comfortably above the X1. People get confused by the name Golf and assume a random beamer will be faster...drive a Golf GTI or R and you will see that is purely lack of knowledge! Practicality - Both are very practical cars in terms of cabin space and boot. In the West, they would be considered almost equals with generation two X1 beating the Golf. But in Kenya ground clearance ni story so X1 clearly edges out the Golf. My advise? If I want to munch miles on roads with huge bumps daily and carry people/luggage I would buy the X1. But for myself, for fun, of epic road trips (Kenya main roads have improved a lot) Golf R any day! VW EA888 engine is a beauty and a beast in equal measure. And for pits sake do not change its suspension to increase ride height!! If you are going to ruin it like that then nunua a mini-SUV tu..

Thanks for reviewing this car, am so grateful.
Good work Wokabi. Bring us GLe Coupe 💯💯
Great Great work you are doing sir Ave really learnt from you matters cars
PEUGEOT 3008 maze hii nitaitisha kila siku …. Big up lakini
According to me 3.5 is on the higher side compared to what you can get with that amount of money although it's a nice car

I second you on that. you would get an outback or forester at way below that pricing and they would give double practicality over this

Good review as always. If possible, would review the dt dobie Mercedes a class...
great review.. c63 would be a great car for sunday review
The GLA 250 is AWD
Mbona hamuongelelei fuel economy 🤗
I'm eagerly awaiting for the redriven cars tomorrow
Kidogo kidogo Omanyala akuovertake...
3.45m for a GLA? These new Gen Mercs zimebaki tu na audacity and inshallah 😂😂
The GLA 250 4MATIC has 8 inches ground Clearance
Choosing that AMG trim is not a fair comparison since it seats lower at 4.6

@@pereznmorara8916 Exactly. That's the point to note when you look at the price of this GLA vs a Golf R

It should be even a 6, from price point to the 0-100,120hp.
good
Mnasemanga ukweli mingi sana....
3.5m for this car?? nope l would rather get another car.
But Ibra is right bro, at the end of the day this is a merc mahn for me even the price point is OK.
Mercedes with a reanult engine this one
Niko carnissa
How about GLA 250 please
Carnisani si ututafutie Porsche Cayenne
This is a Nissan with a merc's badge
For a benz wamenianguasha
Nice review though
That Merc is unmerc
Very clear
I think this is a womanly oriented car and i would rather go for maybe an axela or the volvo V40 ....Maybe you can do a review on the Volvo V40
View Mercedes GLA 250
It is called a Mercedes not marsades
Please no do the merc c180
Tunaenda Moyale Lini?
Hiyo gari ni ya young women married to rich old men..Nyinyi wengine si mnajua Toyota ndio zenu
Thanks for the review, I loved that car but it's a moving tortoise. Price it should not cost more than 2.5M

Kuna siku Usain Bolt alikimbia mbio kushinda hio 0-100 😂
The price tag vs. performance and aesthetics nope ,
This must be the most boring mercedes I have come across
It's pricey
That car is extremely over priced maze...makes no sense
Absolutely
yea like the same size like bmw that i will get 1.8m
That mercedes is overpriced 😋it isn't value for money according to me.

A BMW x1 is way much better.
This is the "premio" version of a Mercedes benz. Just overpriced.
I WATCHED THIS ALLURING EPISODE ON 23/01/2023
nice work, quick suggestion.. when mentioning other car models in comparison, show images of the cars
the position of the gear lever makes it look like a toy......benz
do not drink and drive 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
