The '''[[Wikipedia:Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class|GLA]]''' (''Geländewagen'' A-Class) is a luxury compact SUV manufactured by [[Wikipedia:Mercedes-Benz|Mercedes-Benz]] which appears as a [[kart]] body in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', available exclusively in the [[Mercedes-Benz x Mario Kart 8|Mercedes-Benz × ''Mario Kart 8'']] downloadable content pack. The vehicle has nine different color schemes, with the one it uses depending on what driver uses it; it is thus one of the two DLC vehicles to change colors in this way, the other being the [[City Tripper]]. The kart features a license plate on the back that reads "GLA"; these letters light up when the car enters [[anti-gravity]] mode. The GLA and the [[Gold Standard]] are the only vehicle bodies in ''Mario Kart 8'' that do not feature the driver's [[emblem]] on them.

The GLA offers higher weight and traction, but lower acceleration, handling, and [[Mini-Turbo|mini-turbo]]; it shares its stats with the [[Badwagon]], [[Standard ATV]], [[Tri-Speeder]], and [[Steel Driver]].

 

Mario driving the GLA [[Costume_Mario#110|appears]] as one of the many [[Costume Mario]] power-ups in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. It is unlocked when the [[Mercedes-Benz Jump'n'Drive]] event course is completed.

 

In promotion of their content, Mercedes-Benz produced several commercials with ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Super Mario Maker'' for the GLA.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnREMqwAVu4 ''Mario Kart 8'' / GLA commercials]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-xB8AKdCo0 ''Super Mario Maker'' / GLA commercial]</ref>
