AmericaJR’s Jason Rzucidlo reports from the Westin Book Cadillac Hotel in Detroit for the Mercedes-Benz NAIAS Preview Party. During the event, the all-new 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 made its world premiere. Modified bumpers, new wheel designs and the new attractive color “Canyon Beige” characterize the 2018 model at first glance. The GLA offers “Active Brake Assist” as standard: it warns the driver if there is not sufficient distance to the vehicle in front and if required, delivers situation-appropriate braking. With a maximum output of 375 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque, the Mercedes-AMG GLA45 is among the most powerful cars in its segment.
