With a rare breed like the premier 2015 Mercedes Benz GLA 250, it's hard to make assumptions about its driving dynamics. Well, you know what they say when you assume, anyway -- and if you don't, well, you'll just have to look that up yourself because this is a family-friendly blog.


Anyway, the crossover/hatchback fusion that is the GLA 250 offers the best of many worlds when it comes to cargo capacity, passenger accommodation, maneuverability and fuel efficiency. So what sort of melting pot can you expect the powertrain to produce? Well, despite its high ride height, the GLA 250 is agile and controlled, and its potent engines make for ample acceleration. Unusually sporty handling and performance put this crossbreed into a segment of its own -- especially considering its available 35 mpg highway on top of all of that athleticism.


There's no need to assume anything about the GLA-Class because you can get all the facts below in this video from AutoTrader.com® -- or even better, you can get all the information you need firsthand from test driving any of our available models here at i.g. Burton & Co Inc. in Mildford, DE.
