Advanced Safety Features Present in Mercedes GLA Vehicles

Posted by T and T Motors on September 13th, 2019

The Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class was initially launched in the year of 2013. This is a five-door, front-engine, front-drive subcompact SUV, which has over the years emerged as one of the most popular models of Mercedes.  Along with the other Mercedes SUVs like the GLC and GLE, the GLA also enjoys great popularity in India. People can easily visit the website of any authorized Mercedes dealer in the nation to compare the specifications and price of Mercedes GLA in India.

Like most Mercedes models, the GLA is also extremely popular for its high-end safety features. These features include:

•  Adaptive brake lights flashing: In the scenario of emergency braking, the reaction time of the driver behind can be improved significantly with the help of the adaptive LED brake lights and hence aid them to avoid rear-end collisions.

•  Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): This system assists in improving driving safety and augmenting the operating life of the tyres with the help of the continuous monitoring of the tyre pressures by high-end sensors.

•  The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS): This system assists in greater handling safety by ensuring the prevention of wheel-locking in case of emergency braking. The ABS aids the driver to keep their vehicle properly under control.  

Brand new Mercedes-Benz to be launched in September

Mercedes-Benz GLA is one of the most popular models present in the line-up of this German luxury car manufacturer. Hence, the company is geared up for launching another model of the GLA in September 2019, at the Frankfurt motor show.

The styling of this brand new GLA is expected to be quite similar to that of the A-class of Mercedes, upon which it is majorly based. This GLA model would, however, retain the profile and swollen rear haunches that are unique to its older counterparts. This second-generation GLA would additionally join the MFA (Modular Front Architecture) platform of Mercedes, along with the CLA Shooting Brake estate, A-class sedan, A-class hatchback, CLA four-door coupé, as well the recently unveiled B-class MPV and GLB SUV.

While the technical details and exact specifications of the to be launched new generation Mercedes GLA has not been released yet, it is expected to be closely linked to the A-class vehicles in terms of gearboxes, engines, technology, and design. This SUV is also expected to adopt the latest touchpad of Mercedes, along with its high-end voice-controlled MBUX infotainment system. The new GLA is also expected to have increased material quality and more advanced safety features.

The global engine range of the new Mercedes GLA is expected to feature a 1.3-liter turbocharged petrol unit. This unit has been developed in association with the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The vehicle is also likely to be available in two states of tune, a 2.0-litre engine and a 1.5-litre diesel motor.

Further into the lifespan of the Mercedes GLA, a return of the AMG-tuned GLA 45 is highly expected, while featuring a four-wheel-drive system that is predominantly performance-focused.
