Mercedes-Benz GLA unveiled - Telegraph At 438cm long and 158cm high the Concept GLA is roughly the same size as an Evoque. The car's design features what Mercedes-Benz describes as "softcubes" - soft, raised pads that "help give definition" to the radiator grille, side sills and exhaust tailpipes. Swooping curves along the sides are a feature shared with the A-Class and recently launched CLA saloon. The concept car has cameras mounted at the front of its roof rails, which Mercedes-Benz says can be removed and fitted to a mountain bike helmet. The GLA production car is unlikely to get these. It will also get more conventional door handles and mirrors, but most of the body panels are likely to be identical to the concept car's. Dark galvanised aluminium trim and natural leather with handstitched seams is used throughout the GLA's cabin. Underneath a leather-covered top, the dashboard features a backlit plexiglass covering. Such concept car flourishes won't reach the showroom, but the overall cabin architecture is likely to be much the same. The GLA concept car has four individual seats - the production version is likely to be available with the option of either this layout, or a three-seat rear bench. Mercedes-Benz is yet to announce full details and pricing, but the GLA is likely to be available from about £25,000 when it goes on sale in early 2014.
