Mercedes GLA 247 200 EDITION 1 4MATIC 8G-DCT - Terrain

Can the Mercedes GLA 247 200 EDITION 1 4MATIC 8G-DCT also be used off-road? Here often a distinction is made between "soft-roaders" and real off-roaders. For real rough terrain it needs more than just some more ground clearance. The SUV boom of the last 10 years has produced many cars that look off-road but have limited capability to do so.

The Mercedes GLA has all-wheel drive, which means that the basic requirement is already met. The ground clearance, another important criterion, is 143 mm for this automobile. This is an average value, i.e. dirt roads and slightly uneven terrain are no problem for the motor vehicle. Torque is available at 250 Nm, which is something you can start with - but if you pull a lot, you will also feel it properly.

The integrated 360-degree camera can also help you move forward on rough terrain and avoid damage.

Rating: The car does have all-wheel drive, but not least the lack of ground clearance indicates that a Mercedes GLA is not made for off-road use.
