What looks to be a Mercedes-Benz GLA taxi was recently spied testing on the Nürburgring. Mercedes has yet to break into the huge U.S. taxi market and with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg announcing the Nissan NV200 as the New York Taxicab of Tomorrow, replacing New York’s 13,000 yellow cabs, Mercedes is not likely to be seen donning the classic yellow hue anytime soon.  But, around the rest of the world, Mercedes, specifically the E-Class and B-Class, taxicabs are among the most popular.

The new Mercedes GLA concept debuted in April at the Shanghai Auto Show with a production model expected at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September sporting a wider range of 4-cylinder petrol and diesel engines.
