Mercedes-Benz GLA Edition 1 announced

In a practice which is becoming traditional for its new models, Mercedes-Benz has confirmed that a special Edition 1 version of the 2014 GLA compact SUV will be available from launch.

On the outside, the Edition 1 is distinguished by its gloss black 19” AMG alloy wheels, black door mirror caps, a black and chrome front grille, rear privacy glass and bi-xenon headlights. Paintwork choice is restricted to metallic brown, two shades of grey or white.

Also included on the interior equipment list are a flat-bottom sports steering wheel, aluminium trim, the ‘Light and Sight’ package and brushed stainless steel pedals.
