We suspect that many buyers looking to pick up a new GLA 250 will actually opt for the 4Matic variant featuring the company’s excellent all-wheel drive system. The added grip helps this version reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in 6.7 seconds.
As for the Mercedes-Benz GLA 220d, it too is offered in front- and all-wheel drive configurations, and it slots above the GLA 200d as the range-topping diesel offering. Power comes courtesy of a 2.0-liter (technically 1.95-liter) four-cylinder making 187 HP (190 PS) at 3,800 rpm and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque between 1,600 rpm and 2,600 rpm.
When equipped with front-wheel drive, the GLA 220d hits 62 mph (100 km/h) in 7.4 seconds and tops out at 135 mph (217 km/h). The GLA 220d 4Matic reaches 62 mph in 7.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 136 mph (219 km/h).
