Can’t believe this is $72K. You’re better off with the GLE at that price or even the Lexus RX. I think the Lexus NX F Sport will be almost as fun.
Lexus NX F sport is only just as fun as Mazda CX-5 Turbo. It is true
No the amg is a real performer
Yes many options-- just save 30k and get an Inventory Model Y long range for 37k!! Or for less than $68k-- just get a 2024 Model S, 0-60 2.4sec (car and driver)🎉🎉🎉
@@R56Cooper That is also a great vehicle for the price!
@@jayczyzyk9707 This is probably a fun car, but it will depreciate tremendously. You can find a C63 V8 from years ago and work on tuning it for way less.
I would rather have the GLB version of this. More space with the boxy design and not so boy racer.
30k too much.
Mercedes have the best auto brake of all time. When you come to a stop just push the brake pedal down to the bottom and it will engage, a hold pop up will appear in the dash. To go just touch the gas pedal and you will seamlessly go. I rlly enjoy it in my Glb.
Does the hybrid assist enable faster acceleration, or is it just for more MPG?
Cool
I bought a 23 Gla35 new for 51k. Msrp of 54k. 24 gla35 start at much higher msrp. Because of the hybrid. I definitely wouldn't pay that much. 23 Gla45 price range
2010 Mitsubishi ASX styling with 2006 interior silver plastic and red leather.
I saw this video 10 times since I order my gla35 and I have to wait until November.
It's a beast!
If I was looking for a hot hatch with honestly impressive performance and could be my daily driver I’d just get a Mini Countryman JCW. It’ll be $20k less and damn near comparable. $72k is an insane asking price.
Btw did a 0-60 in 4.7sec 13.3@107 on my vbox. Surprisingly quick for 302hp 36xxlbs
Yes it seems underrated.
but not great for 72k
Can't wait to get this in 5yrs for $25k with extra warranty.
72k??? Bruh just go get a X3M at that point. This is ridiculous.
Crossover? The Atlantic maybe. It is definitely a hot hatch sedan, really not raised though. The touch pads on the steering wheel spokes are difficult to use and even more difficult while trying to keep your attention on your driving. You really shouldn't have to learn how to figure out individual car's controls. BTW the auto hold really is, press down on the brake pedal after you stop the light on the IP will illuminated.
This shouldn’t be worth more than 55 Oml
$70k for 300hp 😂, they’re slapping amg badge on everything, same goes for bmw
hey i mean at least the bmw x2 m35i(350hp) is about 51k soo i'd say thats reasonable ngl.
@@grang-jc2eenew 2024 X2 m35i is waay nicer too
@@R56Cooper for real bro, and so many more interior options(4 or 5). Better looking has a better road presence and is as fast. Also has Adaptive Dampers(15mm less ground clearence) with M bucket seats so that is honestly a amazing deal. It's also one of the better looking releases by bmw, but I hope lexus comes out with a NX/UX/LBX F-Sport with a turbo-4. All we can do is hope with lexus peformence cars 😢
@@grang-jc2eesomething about a mercedes hatch just doesnt seem right lol
GLA45s is coming out later this year with 400hp and all the AMG + performance parts.
Get a GLA45 if they have on the lot, none for 24. Built in Germany with hand built engine, same price.
This sample was built on Germany too
@@KirkKreifels viddy said South Africa no?
Cool little car, but for the price I'd rather a CLA45. $70k+ is WAY too much for this thing... even with the performance, it's still a GLA. Also, for Mercedes, there's no auto hold button. To activate auto hold, you press further down on the brake pedal once you're at a stop.
Beautiful car. "Lease Bait" if l've ever seen one. It's a perfect car for guys like Kirk that can afford to buy a, "Look l've MADE it car! Which he so richly deserves! 👏👏👏
Kirk..ROUGHLY @ 15:18 check it out ….
Typo?
@@KirkKreifels yes sir !
Friend had Glb Amg package, Mexico build, after 20k mls he returned the car, worst build car he ever had. Now he has a Glc...again, poor build and reliability, nany issues, will be his last car grom Mercedes.... . Gone are the days a Mercedes was best of the best.
come on Kirk... gerat review as always but why review plastics?
Thanks! Love testing new cars
THIS IS NOT WORTH THE $72k PRICE TAG!!! I own a 2023 GLA 45 AMG and got it for $68k and the extra horsepower and 4matic+ drivetrain puts it in a WHOLE OTHER LEAGUE the GLA 35 AMG wishes it could be in! I have the pano sunroof and all the "bells and whitsles" similar to the car in this video, but paid less and got MORE POWER!!!
GLA is nice but optioned out... way toooo much $$$$
Worth $45k max.
Yes many options at 72k-- just save 30k and get an Inventory Model Y long range for 37k!! Or for less than $68k-- just get a 2024 Model S, 0-60 2.4sec (car and driver)🎉🎉🎉
nah, EV's aren't worth it considering their resale value becomes $0 when it comes time to replace ur batteries. ICE/Hybrid/Hydrogen/NIO(chinese swappable EV company) all the way!
72k with all add-ons. The GLA45s is going to be 70k easy and the Europeans claim nothing competes with it in power at it's price since you would need 30k more for a 911 with the same horsepower or at the same price segment with a understeery Audi.
This is worth at least $40,000 thats way to much for a car built in Mexico with just 300hp and a lot of plastic, low quality materials and sub par technology
W is on the VIN
@@KirkKreifels Thanks for correcting Tino...He probably doesn't know what W means on a VIN...
The price and what this car offers is everything wrong with the German luxury auto industry.
@@japandroidat this point the entire German auto industry can go out of business and I wouldn’t care…
