Just how much are you prepared to pay for a really Premium experience from your compact SUV? Well GLA pricing is going to put that to the test.

From launch, this MK2 model was priced from around £32,000, but the GLA variant you're likely to want is almost certain to be in the £35,000 to £40,000 bracket - possibly more.

If it's a GLA 250e Plug-in variant, it'll be £40,000 upwards. And if you want one of the Mercedes-AMG GLA 35 or GLA 45 S 4MATIC high performance versions, think more like £45,000-£65,000.

In the conventional range, there are six trim levels - 'Sport', 'Sport Executive' and four different flavours of 'AMG Line' - standard, 'Executive', 'Premium' and 'Premium Plus'.

All GLA models have to be had with auto transmission - which is a 7G-DCT 7-speeder with the Base 1.3-litre Petrol engine: try and find the extra £1,500 necessary to upgrade from the Base 136hp GLA 180 model with this unit to the perkier 163hp GLA 200 variant.

The next stage up in mainstream GLA ownership is to go for one of the 2.0-litre engines, all of which are paired to an 8G-DCT 8-speed auto.

The two Base 'Sport' models include the option of the GLA 200d variant, which gets the brand's now-familiar OM654 Diesel in a 150hp state of tune.

Start your search from mid-range 'AMG Line' trim though - as most GLA customers do - and your choice of 2.0-litre options widens to also include the GLA 220d 4MATIC, which uses the same Diesel engine uprated to 190hp and mated to 4WD.
