The 2018 GLA Coupe is Going to be a Motorcycle on Four Wheels

2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA Coupe Design

Mercedes-Benz is on a rampage to make sure no market is left untapped. From the compact car to the commercial van, Mercedes-Benz has a pretty good idea of what people are buying, and it wants in. In fact, the German automotive legend is so bold that it has created a few new models that seemingly have no or little competition. Take, for example, the GLC Coupe or the E-Class All-Terrain. Granted, there are a few competitors for these, but literally only a few.

Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV vs GLC Coupe

SUV Coupe

The SUV coupe is somewhat of a new design in the industry. It could be considered a crossover, but then again, the GLA SUV is already referred to as a crossover because it is small and tall, giving it the confidence to drive on the road and in the dirt. An SUV Coupe, is a shorter version of an already existing SUV. Right now, Mercedes-Benz has two other SUV coupes in its arsenal known as the GLE Coupe and the GLC Coupe. If you want to get a good look at a GLE, watch Jurassic World!

Engine

Right now, there are two engines available for the GLA SUV. A 2.0L I4 and a 2.0L I4. The difference between them is where they are made, resulting in drastically different power outputs. The Mercedes-Benz version has 208 horsepower, but the Mercedes-AMG makes 375 horsepower without any increase in displacement whatsoever.

2018 Mercedes-AMG GLA45 Coupe

Here is what we’ve been waiting for. Mercedes-Benz probably won’t release any pictures until later this year or early next year, but imagine a motorcycle with a roof. This isn’t an exageration as a Mercedes-AMG GLA45 Coupe could have the potential to break the 4-second mark on its way to 60 miles per hour.
