Expect the GLA to be sportier in appearance than the average crossover and engines are likely to be derived from the current A and B-Class offerings.

MERCEDES CROSSOVER
The base engine should be a four-cylinder with 157kW on tap and should be mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. It's unclear if both front-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations will be offered.
The GLA will make its debut in 2014.
NEW GENERATION OF COMPACT CARS
At the start of production of the latest A-Class at the automaker’s plant in Rastatt, Germany, the automaker revealed that its new generation of compact cars will span five different models, including the A-Class, B-Class, CLA and the GLA crossover.
While it’s not clear what the fifth model will be, the automaker may simply be referring to a new electric B-Class though there have also been reports that a compact roadster dubbed the SLA was in the works.
