Review Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class
probably almost never having in mind the European premium brand leaders, that they will plunge into a narrow car market (niche) the buyer, such as crossover. But that was the case today. Look at the presence of the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class, a stylish crossover SUV, but based on the best-selling hatchback, A-Class. This represents Mercedes efforts to open up opportunities in new markets, for their potential new customers.
A-Class becomes a sort of "pilot project" for Mercedes to enter this new segment. His platform became the basis of the birth-Class models such as CLA and GLA-Class. As with CLA-Class which makes Mercedes entered the market segment of small-engined compact sedan for the first time, GLA-Class also provides a similar story. This is the first crossover model of Mercedes-Benz in the history of their journey. In Indonesia, Mercedes Benz provides two types of GLA 200,
Of the family tree Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class was born as a product that is completely different from all his brothers. Although they call it a compact SUV, GLA more deserves to be called as a crossover. Based A-Class hatchback display impression that carried GLA-Class does seem still too dominating. Even so, the brand image of Mercedes that carried GLA-Class is not to be underestimated, coupled with premium quality assurance are presented, this car should have a decent choice.
Design Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class
From its dimensions, GLA does look more muscular and bigger than the A-Class, but the actual dimensions of length and width specifications nearly identical, differing only a few millimeters. Wheel axis distance is still the same. What distinguishes it is the height of the car. Crossover Germany has a high 1,494 mm, or 59 mm higher than the A-Class.
Viewed from the front, the view GLA thick with sporty impression accordance with a variant of GLA 200 Sport we tested. This model has a touch elements of the exterior of the AMG. The masculine side of an SUV appeared from behind a firm strokes hips, accent-aluminum roof rails, side bumper protector, as well as the rear apron design. At the rear it looks sort of skid-plate elements are integrated with the twin-exhaust, asserts its sporty impression. Velgn models AMG five-spoke 19-inch re-display the sporty shades.
In the machinery sector still use the same unit as belonging to A 200 and CLA 200, which is a gasoline engine 4-cylinder 1.6-liter turbo-powered 156 hp and plentiful torque up to 250 Nm, which is already present from 1,250 rpm. This engine is paired with 7-speed automatic transmission 7G-DCT that drives the two front wheels.
GLA stuffing safety features include six airbags, brake system with ABS + EBD + BA, traction control, Electornic Stability Program (ESP), cruise control, parking sensors and sensors to automatic wipers. To support its control, Acceleration Skid Control and ESP Dynamic Cornering Control System is your guarantee when driving more aggressively.
Interior Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class
The interior is exactly the same GLA owned by A-Class hatchback. Alcantara leather seats with electronic settings for the first line with a comfortable clasp, and kekedapan interior be proof that the car is indeed located in the premium segment. Sporty elements typical AMG comes from the use of the material leather steering wheel with red stitching. The steering wheel, in my opinion, gives the sensation of grip so comfortable in all conditions. Panoramic roof adds to the positive impression for this car, but then stalled for granted.
Yes, expensive layer of Alcantara in the seats as if nothing can remove the impression of "normal" given the other material in the dashboard, console and door trim. The material used does not look expensive, even the air-conditioning system is still manual with the play button. It is quite unfortunate, given the selling price of GLA which is high enough for an entry-level Mercedes-Benz. For the comparison, an SUV, hatchback and even branded Japan the price is less than half, are already equipped with these features, even better.
GLA has a central regulator of key audio and multimedia system that is close to the center console arm rest. The play button is quite easy to operate because it is in a position where the gear lever is typically located. But the GLA, the transmission shifting lever located behind the steering wheel. This also presents a lot more storage space in the center console. All the commands of the play button is used to change a wide variety of settings that appear on the screen size of 5.8 inches in the middle of the dashboard.
The second row seating seems to be a problem for GLA. For two adults, GLA would not be the first choice of a matter of convenience and flexibility in it. Low roofline and sloping rear hatchback typical really cut headroom in the rear. The effect of using a panoramic roof into the solution creating a more spacious room atmosphere. While in the trunk, Mercedes offers luggage capacity of up to 421 liters under normal conditions,
Performance Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class
Performance presented by GLA 200 we tested was greatly reduced compared to when we tested the first time earlier this year. The response was very slow acceleration, and sound of the engine every time we stepped on the gas pedal to accelerate. This we expected due to sub-optimal treatment and often time the test car uses fuel that does not match the manufacturer's recommendations before we borrow.
In a test of acceleration 0-100 kph what we do repeatedly, a figure that we can not be faster than 11.3 seconds, although we have been doing in Sport driving mode. Whereas Mercedes-Benz claims up to 100 kph acceleration can be achieved in 8.8 seconds. At low rpm, GLA really hampered its performance due to slow response of the accelerator, even when accelerated at medium and high speeds this car gives a pretty good response.
dominated by the track uphill, GLA200 shortage caused by a slow acceleration response, can be met by selecting a lower gear.
