So the plan is to bring over a FWD ONLY version of this vehicle to the USA!?
They have an AWD version, but that would be coming until after the FWD... WTH??? That doesn't make any sense.

 

It is practically a Mercedes GLA clone. It gets the 2.0L turbo from the 250. The resemblance is obvious from the back.

 

wouldn't make sense to offer AWD, since the USA is all sunny beaches and palm trees.

nice-looking CUV, though. i don't know much about current MB engines, but expensive parts and reliability might be a concern.

 

Looks like a souped-up Mazda 3! As for price, I know the X1 is running 50K+ A friend just bought one. He coulda bought TWO RVRs! LOL

 

just saw that there will be a QX30 with AWD, to be sold along with the Q30.

yeah, CottageLifer ... two LOADED OS/RVR's.

 

I like the interior, and the tires.
not sold on the styling of the outside, but it's better than most lately.
