Mercedes-Benz has started accepting online bookings for the second generation GLA crossover in India.

In India, Mercedes will offer the GLA with three engine options. The entry-level unit is a 1.3-litre turbo-petrol producing 161 BHP and 250 Nm.

The second engine is a 2.0-litre diesel unit equipped with a variable geometry turbocharger. The engine makes 187 BHP. The diesel version of the car will get an all-wheel drive option.

There will also be an AMG variant called the GLA 35 AMG. It will be powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 302 BHP. Unlike the regular petrol version, the AMG will get an all-wheel drive system. This variant is expected to be assembled locally.

The second-generation Mercedes GLA is scheduled to be launched next month.
