The Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 S is decked out with a premium cabin covered in high-end materials like leather and aluminium. Sitting atop the centre stack is a 10.25-inch multimedia touchscreen, while physical buttons are used for climate controls. The top-spec Mercedes small SUV also boasts a 10.25-inch all digital instrument screen.
The Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 S is available in two standard colours - 'Night Black non-metallic', and 'Polar White non-metallic', as well as extra-cost shades - 'Digital White metallic', 'Cosmos Black metallic', 'Denim Blue metallic', 'Iridium Silver metallic', 'Mountain Grey metallic', and the premium 'designo patagonioa red metallic'
The GLA is my favourite in the Mercedes-Benz baby-car line-up and it gets The Tick. But you should also test drive the new Infiniti Q30 and QX30, which share the mechanical package of the A-Class family but with a little more comfort.

For me, your best choice would be a Mercedes-Benz GLA (above left). It is the SUV of the baby Benz range, with good space and comfort, the space, safety and seats you need with a hatch to get access to the boot. It definitely gets The Tick from me.

You are exactly right, which is why we're making a fuss about cars that do not have a standard camera.

Options for the Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 S include an 'Innovation Package' that adds augmented reality video, head-up display and interior assistant. Buyers can also tick the options for cooled seats, rear bench-seat slide adjustment, a partition net and larger 21-inch wheels.
The Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 S offers seating for five passengers, with the front row treated to sports seats. Being an AMG, the seats are covered in leather and sport yellow accent stitching.
The GLA 45 S's boot boasts 435 litres of volume, and can expand to a massive 1430L with the rear seats folded – making it about 15 per cent bigger than the A 45 S – while the higher load height should make loading and unloading groceries a bit easier.
The Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 S is claimed to accelerate from 0-100km/h in 4.3 seconds.
