The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA is certainly a stylish little guy. He’s the latest in what has been a busy year for Mercedes-Benz when it comes to their SUV and crossover lineup.

We saw the new GLB roll into town, a compact city cruiser with a third row (it even has an AMG variant because why not). From there, Mercedes-Benz released the new midsize GLC, followed by the three-row GLE (we like the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Coupe). After that, the larger GLS entered the fold with a whopping 500-plus lb-ft. of torque. 

Now the 2021 GLA, our favorite one in the bunch, joins the party. It’s an entry-level SUV (or “gateway” vehicle as Mercedes-Benz calls it) with an attractive price point. Here is a quick but detailed walk around the new GLA.

The new GLA is slightly taller and wider than before (+ 3.6 inches and + 1.2 inches, respectively). Combined with a longer wheelbase (+ 1.1 inches), the 2021 GLA now provides more front headroom and rear legroom. Likewise, cargo space increases as well.
