With looks more reminiscent of a (slightly) high-riding hatch, the design of the GLA lends itself very well to a three-door layout.

AutoProjecoes has created a very convincing rendering of a three-door GLA. In fact, it’s so good, it might as well have come from Mercedes-Benz itself. If the company were to create a three-door GLA, it could easily look like this. It is basically the same as the five-door, with the two rear doors deleted.
