Mercedes-Benz has published a sketch with the upcoming GLA Concept scheduled to make its public debut on Saturday at 2013 Auto Shanghai, thus confirming last month's report.
The sketch shows an appealing crossover featuring a bulging hood, raked windscreen, protection plates under the bumpers, roof rails, muscular wheel arches (with moldings), dual exhaust and 20-inch alloys covered by 255/45 R20 tires. We also notice those interestingly shaped sweptback headlights and a huge front grille with the big three pointed-star logo. As you would imagine, the production version will take a lot of styling cues from the A-Class but with an increased ride height.
The crossover is 172.4 inches (4.38 meters) long, 77.6 inches (1.97 meters) wide and 61.8 inches (1.57 meters) tall, with a 106.3-inch (2.69 meters) wheelbase. Power comes from an inline-four 2.0-liter turbo gasoline engine borrowed from the A250 producing 208 bhp (155 kW). It's linked to a 7G-DCT dual-clutch gearbox sending power to the 4MATIC all-wheel drive system
The production model's engine lineup will be carried over from the hatchback which means it will be offered with a variety of 4-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines producing up to 211 HP (155 kW). An AMG variant is also rumored with a 4-cylinder, 2.0-liter turbocharged engine generating about 354 HP (260 kW).
The production version will be revealed in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
