With a choice of front-wheel or all-wheel drive, the GLA will slot in beneath the GLK offering a raised ride height, aggressive new styling, as well as of course the company’s new 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder in the flagship AMG model.
Tuned to the max (this is the highest specific-power output engine around right now) the GLA 45 AMG should put 335bhp to all four corners and make a right mess of some Evoque sales.
