Mercedes-AMG GLA35

Multiple four-cylinder models from Mercedes-AMG – but none of its V8s or sixes – will reportedly be axed as they won't meet new EU noise regulations.

The Mercedes-Benz GLA has received a mid-life update, with mild-hybrid petrol powertrains, updated infotainment and tweaked looks.

I'd rather have the GLA35 over the GLA250, no question. But at a $16,000 premium you'd have to think twice. The sweet spot is still the GLA250.
