Premium crossover with a young spirit

Al Haddad Motors launched the new Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 at a ceremony at its showroom in Tubli.

Progressive in its crossover design, the GLA 250 is aimed at being a day-to-day motoring companion with good off-road capability to match.
 
Al Haddad Motors general manager Graeme Newport said: “The GLA 250 is highly-manoeuvrable around the city, lively on the open roads, and dynamic and efficient on the busy streets and highways.

“The high-quality elements, and the flexible interior clearly position the GLA as a premium crossover with a young spirit, making it the most recent model in the new entry level segment that is widening the world of Mercedes-Benz for customers in this region.”

The GLA 250 features a variable interior. The rear seat backrests can be both folded down completely or adjusted by angle if required. The large luggage compartment is well laid-out and can be loaded without difficulty thanks to the low loading sill and the wide tailgate, which opens and closes automatically.

Its ‘Urban’ line features a radiator grille with two silver-painted louvres and chrome inserts, 19-inch five-spoke light-alloy wheels and also a twin-pipe exhaust system with chrome-plated tailpipe trim integrated into the bumper. The components of the new 4MATIC include the power take-off to the rear axle, which is integrated into the 7G-DCT automated dual clutch transmission, and the rear-axle gear unit with integrated, hydraulically actuated multi-disc clutch.

This set-up allows fully variable distribution of the drive torque between the front and rear axles. Additional benefits of this design are a lower system weight than is available from the competition and high efficiency.

Numerous driving assistance systems offer support in the GLA 250 and reduce the driver’s workload. Standard-fit features include ‘Attention Assist’ drowsiness detection and radar-based ‘Collision Prevention Assist’ with adaptive ‘Brake Assist’, which now helps to avoid collisions from a speed as low as 7kmph.

Established assistance systems, such as the optional Lane Tracking package with ‘Blind Spot Assist’ and ‘Lane Keeping Assist’ or ‘Adaptive Highbeam Assist’, are also available for the GLA 250. Active Parking Assist allows automatic parking in parallel and end-on parking spaces.
