Review: 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA 180 Urban
Among traditionalists, the most common entry-point to Mercedes-Benz ownership is the C-Class. Yet, for the younger and more fashion-forward buyers, the three-pointed star has begun offering a more breadth line-up with everything from front-wheel drive hatchbacks to SUVs to MPVs. Naturally, these “new generation” vehicles are now the entry-point to many buyers. Included in this new generation line is the GLA-Class, the brand’s smallest and most affordable crossover. As such, adding the badge’s allure with a “bang for the buck” body style literally prints money for Mercedes-Benz.

Blame inflation or the weakening pesos, but nowadays, you can’t get a decent sub-compact sedan for less than P 700,000.

This could be the best bargain in the entire Philippine automotive industry.
