Fun fact to add to yours!:⭐️ You are completely right with Geländerwagen, but that is actually one the G in “GLA”. The L is only there to make it easier to say, rather than saying GA / GB.

My first car to drive was a Mercedes C220 back in 2013. Ever since, my love for the brand has been deep in me. I hope I'll own one soon. Lots of love to all Mercedes enthusiasts from Kenya 🇰🇪
The current Mrs Clarke said to say thank you Nick, looks like we will be changing our C43 Coupe for the GLA35 soon, I never thought you would have put this comparison together so quickly after your previous reply 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Bill! I kind of did already have it planned 👀 But kept it quiet when I messaged you as it was actually filmed weeks ago ;) haha I actually film and produce most videos weeks in advance, so believe it or not I’m working on one for in 3 weeks time! 😜
I have found your videos so useful while getting to know my new Mercedes GLA35 over the past 3 months. However, I certainly liked this video as it included the GLA in it. We don't have the A class models here in the US, but probably would have still gone with a GLA since it is the best of both worlds (SUV & Sedan). Keep up the great videos.
GLA 45s 4matic + will definitely be my next car.. Currently have 2020 CLA 220d P+ so another couple of years yet. Im always finding something new and helpful in your videos 👍🏼 Thank you
Thanks for another great video Nick and loved the spooky intro and clever lighting. I’ve been told by my local Mercedes new GLAs are currently unavailable to order due to the ongoing supply/production issues. Lets hope things improve soon.
Ah awesome thank you! Depends on how big you need your car for space etc It would be cheaper to run as the GLA’s not as heavy and has smaller engines for reduced running costs. Might cover a video on that in the future so I’ll add it to my list!
Love your videos Nick, will you do a c class review in full? Is there a minimum number of usbc ports each model come with? Do models have fewer as they go up the range?
Thank you! Glad you enjoy them!

Thanks Stuart, it is taller but you’d only notice if you were flying round a track. For day to day use it is perfect. I had the awesome opportunity to drive one for a weekend a few months ago and it was a very nice car, I wouldn’t mind one myself actually! It also only weighs approx 100kg more than the A-Class so not really anything you’ll notice to be honest from day to day
Well both are from a premium manufacturer so I would hope neither would give any problems! 😅 I can’t speak for the GLA as although I’d had one for a weekend once I do own an A-Class and love it! A GLA is almost identical but just taller. They’re based on the same chassis. Arguably right now I’d prefer a GLA as we’ve just bought a dog, and he’s growing fast! So the boot would be quite welcome!
Hey Sakis, thank you! Not sure I’ve heard of the production level before, it does vary round the world with equipment, options and packages etc. In the UK there are usually options for Executive, Premium & Premium Plus 🤓
Mercedes have not confirmed this, there are rumours floating around online about it, but my take on it is that there will be an EV model with a similar shape in a few years time 🤓 Again not confirmed by Mercedes but it’s what I think might happen
Sadly not electric on new ones. Mercedes have to adapt their specification due to the ongoing semiconductor shortage. Hopefully it’ll be reintroduced in new cars in the future!
I have a c220 cdi coupe 2015 atm. I am looking to get a new car. I am torn between the A class and the GLA. I like to go fast. And I also need the car to be reliable, I am currently leaning towards the A class. Can anyone advise on which model is more reliable
I can speak from experience with my car, I have an A-Class and it’s going great so far. A-Class and GLA are almost identical though apart from the raised driving position in the GLA so I assume they would be the same 🤓
Hi Nick, just a quick question. On sat nav top right hand corner there’s a symbol with mileage and battery of percentage left with arrived at destination, but what are the two cars with a minute showing. Is it something to do with traffic. Thanks, Ray
The A-Class is Mercedes’s entry level car to Premium cars, however if you compare the two you’ll have a slightly softer ride on the GLA. The GLA is higher too so you’ll sit in a raised position. However most people need’s are different for cars, so you ought to try them out. If you speak to Mercedes, they can book you a test drive 🤓
Hey Gavin, best to check the brochure for that sort of thing as it varies from engine to engine. A-Class is here (page 57 onwards): tools.mercedes-benz.co.uk/current/passenger-cars/e-brochures/new-a-class-w177.pdf?_ga=2.207353232.227759009.1667022344-1479609337.1666439406&tgroup=realTarget GLA is here (page 53 onwards): tools.mercedes-benz.co.uk/current/passenger-cars/e-brochures/gla-h247.pdf?_ga=2.207353232.227759009.1667022344-1479609337.1666439406&tgroup=realTarget

I’d defo be up for waiting 2 months for a car like that 😎 Just had another plug-in hybrid for the past week (sadly wasn’t a GLA) but another Mercedes. It’ll be worth the wait 🙏 Any questions in the meantime, just message me!

Don’t worry I’ve heard this many times before but rest assured the entry level engines in the compact car range are not just "Renault engines", Mercedes and Renault have combined their efforts together to produce a very highly economical, low emission and powerful engine. One of Mercedes-Benz's best sellers at the moment! Mercedes also put their own tech and spin into it and designed Formula One technology such as Nanoslide and even cylinder shut-off called CAMTRONIC allowing the cylinders to go down to 2! None of this is found in the Renault’s engines so no, they are definitely not the same at all.

Hi Nick
Is there any walk away auto lock feature on this GLA model?
No sadly not on any Mercedes. You have to lock the car using the key or if you have Keyless-Go, lock it from the handle.
Great video again Nick, but what about handling does the GLA have body roll is fuel consumption worse as heavier? Road test would be good.
Thanks Stuart, it is taller but you’d only notice if you were flying round a track. For day to day use it is perfect.
I had the awesome opportunity to drive one for a weekend a few months ago and it was a very nice car, I wouldn’t mind one myself actually!
It also only weighs approx 100kg more than the A-Class so not really anything you’ll notice to be honest from day to day
@@npoleary Thanks for reply. I might go go one then when I change as my A200 AMG-line a bit low grounds out on some speed humps near me.
Which model is worth buying??…which model give more problem …GLA vs A class?!
Well both are from a premium manufacturer so I would hope neither would give any problems! 😅
I can’t speak for the GLA as although I’d had one for a weekend once I do own an A-Class and love it!
A GLA is almost identical but just taller. They’re based on the same chassis. Arguably right now I’d prefer a GLA as we’ve just bought a dog, and he’s growing fast! So the boot would be quite welcome!
Yes..I also prefer the GLA cause the boot are much bigger saiz😊
Good moviemusic ♡
Nice presentation ✌️Why the new model for a class has stopped the production level ?
Hey Sakis, thank you! Not sure I’ve heard of the production level before, it does vary round the world with equipment, options and packages etc.
In the UK there are usually options for Executive, Premium & Premium Plus 🤓
@@npoleary I meant the production for the next of a class w176 .
Mercedes have not confirmed this, there are rumours floating around online about it, but my take on it is that there will be an EV model with a similar shape in a few years time 🤓
Again not confirmed by Mercedes but it’s what I think might happen
Don’t forget the electric tailgate for the GLA!
Sadly not electric on new ones. Mercedes have to adapt their specification due to the ongoing semiconductor shortage.
Hopefully it’ll be reintroduced in new cars in the future!
Hi Nick, regarding the rear fog light of B Class W247, would it be One or Both ON? My car only lit the right fog on! Many thanks for MB channel 👍🏻👍🏻
Ah fog lights only have one rear light so that’s normal 🤓
Is gla 200 model the cheapest to maintain n repair?
It’s virtually the same as an A-Class so I would guess so, but if you contact Mercedes, they can quote you on prices for servicing etc
Do you know if the all new GLC will have AMG models ?
I have a c220 cdi coupe 2015 atm. I am looking to get a new car. I am torn between the A class and the GLA. I like to go fast. And I also need the car to be reliable, I am currently leaning towards the A class. Can anyone advise on which model is more reliable

Basically an A-Class Coupé (with a slopped roof)
