Is the Mercedes GLA an SUV?

I need to get a new SUV and my friend keeps pushing me to get a Mercedes-Benz GLA-class. I’m not familiar with this model. Is it even an SUV?

Yes, the Mercedes GLA is an SUV. With a starting price of $37,450 for the 2022 model year, this compact SUV isn’t the most practical ute, but it’s a solid entry-luxury choice if you just need a little extra space. Here’s what you can expect.
The Mercedes GLA-Clas compact SUV equips a turbocharged 2.0-L four-cylinder engine with a power output of 221 horsepower. All-wheel drive is available to help navigate a light trail here and there. It’s not
the best Mercedes-Benz SUV
but it will sure get the job done.
The interior was upgraded for the 2022 model year to allow five extra inches of legroom for rearseat passengers. The rear seats also fold flat for a maximum of 50.5 cubic inches of cargo capacity—15.4 cubes with all seats in use. Take note that the Mercedes GLA-Class SUV is not recommended for towing.
Even for its relatively low price, buying a luxury SUV like the Mercedes-GLA class means you’ll probably be paying for some higher-than-average
