Ownership Cost
The GLA will provide prestige with three-pointed star traits at less than flagship level financial expenditure--there is the real picture of honest ownership that makes a compact luxury truly reachable.
True routine service costs 25,000 -40,000 per year, at the Mercedes stores including oil and filters, diagnostics- not too expensive considering the badge. Significant services at every 20,000 km include checking brakes, belts, and full services with frequent cleaning that are manageable and included in the larger models of Mercedes.
Comprehensive is expensive with the cost of 1.2-2 lakhs yearly on 40-60 lakh IDV and third party costs 20000-30000 with NCD premiums being cut with every year of claims. They are truly low prices in the small luxury, which do not harm you at the end of the month.
Four tires cost 40,000-60,000 every 40,000km, battery service and AC services cost 10000-20000 annually, cost of maintenance is 80000-120000 on average; all these are predictable costs that you can anticipate when you plan ahead.
