The GLA brings Mercedes' premium credentials to the compact SUV segment with a punchy 187bhp engine, solid tech suite, and 7 airbags as standard. At ₹51.8 lakh, it's a thoughtfully equipped choice for buyers prioritizing design and technology over raw practicality, though space and efficiency aren't class-leading.
