How it scores for you10 scores
A rebadged Mercedes GLA axed after three years — cramped, recall-prone, and never offered CarPlay, though that history makes used prices temptingly cheap.
Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; 1 of its 6 recalls was serious. About 3% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -5 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $3,000 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 33% of cars we track.
19.2 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 29% of other SUVs we track.
Sloping roof and tight rear seat make it one of the least spacious vehicles sold as an SUV.
Mercedes GLA bones give tidy handling and a punchy 208-hp turbo, but the dual-clutch stumbles at low speed.
Mercedes switchgear under an InTouch overlay; CarPlay was never offered, which dated it fast.
Firm ride and a snug, coupe-ish cabin; fine front seats, but refinement lags the price point.
Luxury brands like Infiniti tend to lose value faster than average.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
