Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4 Matic 2017 тест-драйв: The best? Or what?

The Mercedes-Benz GLA recently underwent a facelift. What's changed and why? We'll tell you today. The GLA was launched in 2013 as the Stuttgart-based company's response to the successful Audi Q3 and BMW X1. By that time, crossovers had become sales drivers for almost every brand, and such models were now a must-have in all sizes: from the compact GLA to the colossal GLS. The Germans built their smallest crossover on the A-Class hatchback. These two models share a lot in common, beyond the platform itself—engines, transmissions, an all-wheel drive system (the A-Class can also be had with all-wheel drive), and much more. How do these two models differ? The main difference is in the design; the GLA is more masculine and serious. The crossover is also slightly larger than the hatchback, with an 80-liter increase in trunk space (421 instead of 341 liters), but the difference inside is minor; the rear seat is cramped in both models. What changed during the restyling? A lot, but mostly minor details. For example, the radiator grille now mimics the older GLA. The headlights may be LED, but whether you'll notice the new bumpers or, even more so, the new mirror caps is a big question. New trim materials and a slightly updated infotainment system with an 8-inch screen are now available inside. So, how much is the asking price for all this luxury? Prices start at 2,170,000 rubles for the front-wheel drive GLA 200, the all-wheel drive GLA 250 4Matic is priced at 2,460,000 rubles, and you can't get to the top-of-the-line GLA 45 AMG 4Matic without 3,230,000 rubles. And don't forget that these are just starting prices; options can easily increase the price by another million on any model. "Our" GLA 250 4M costs 3,425,237 rubles. Is that a lot for a compact crossover or is it okay? We look forward to your answers in the comments.
