      Confirmed reports have been received that the popular car manufacturer Mercedes Benz will launch the compact luxury model GLA SUV in India on September 30th. It is also reported that the brand will introduce GLA45, its Affalterbach tuned increased performance version at the same time. With the launch of GLA45, it will become the most affordable model in the Indian market. It will share the underpinnings with the regular GLA models. Both the cars have been based on the ultramodern Modular Front Architecture (MFA) platform. The mills of both the cars are based on the CLA45 AMG, which was launched few weeks earlier.

      The Indian customers might yet not be familiar with the differences between the GLA4 AMG and the standard GLA SUV. Addition of body kits and sporty parts is the major point of difference in the GLA45 and GLA SUV. A new bumper on the front and rear is the first thing that catches the eye of fans. The car also has a lowered suspension and features sporty tyres. On the inside, a new AMG steering wheel has been provided for superior control. Sports seats with carbon accents complete the looks of the interior cabin. The maximum power of 360 PS is generated from a 2.0 litre 4-cylinder turbo charged engine. Mated with an AMG Speedshift 7-shift transmission, the machine churns up a twisting force of 450 Nm, while sending the power to all the four wheels with the all-wheel drive system.

      Though Mercedes GLA45 is a full-fledged SUV, it can be quite competitive for some performance oriented sedans, as well. The model reaches 100 kilometres per hour from ignition in a mere 4.8 seconds. The top speed of the car is limited electronically to 250 kilometres per hour. The GLA45 AMG will definitely play a major boost for the brand of Mercedes in India. It is expected that the price of this model will be somewhere around 75 lakhs INR (ex-showroom, Delhi).
