That base GLA250, although hardly “base” in any real sense of the word, is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that generates a modest 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. However the AMG’s 2.0-liter four-cylinder steps up to the tune of 355 turbocharged horsepower and 332 pound feet of torque.
