Mercedes-Benz AMG GLA buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The AMG GLA is not a cheap route into a C-segment SUV. The GLA35 already sits near the top of a class where rivals start from RM103,800, and the GLA45S costs more than the RM443,888 upper end of its C-segment SUV rival group. What it gives back is clear: AMG tuning, compact-SUV practicality, all-wheel drive and, in the 45S, 421 PS with 0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds.
