Mercedes has announced some upgrades to its smallest SUV, the GLA.

It now comes equipped with adaptive suspension and dynamic select, which offers the driver four different driving modes, including comfort, sport, eco and individual. The GLA also receives a new off-road setting.

The GLA 220 CDI also gains an additional 5kW, which allows for a 0-100km/h sprint in 7,7 seconds and a top-speed of 223km/h.
