The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA will be sold as a CKD unit.

Speaking to Siddharth Vinayak Patankar, Editor-In-Chief, carandbike after today's launch, Santosh Iyer, Vice President - Sales & Marketing, Mercedes-Benz India said, "We are expecting the demand to go up in Q4 and that's by when other new cars will also come in. So as of now we don't have the A-Class or the GLA and all these cars are expected to arrive in q4 of this year. In this current COVID situation our volume products are not there, so in 50 per cent of the market we are not there right now so we are looking forward to Q4 much more enthusiastically as that is when the market will come back."
