catering to the diverse lifestyles of our customers.

Exterior
Mercedes-Benz is upgrading the compact GLA SUV with numerous innovations and more extensive equipment. The new radiator grille with central Mercedes-Benz star, single louvre, and accents in black enhances the powerful character.
In addition, the bonnet with discreetly suggested power domes underlines the self-confident appearance. The redesigned front bumper with visual underride protection points to the new GLA’s off road genes.
The rear bumper now comes with a diffuser further accentuating the sportiness of the exterior. The front apron with simulated underguard in silver, reinforces the confident look of the new GLA.
The new GLA has a modernised light signature featuring powerful LED High Performance front headlamps equipped with Adaptive Highbeam Assist and LED rear lights. The headlamps illuminate the road with a wide beam and pleasant warm-white light much more precisely and generously.
Front fog lamps spread the light widely and illuminate peripheral areas better for safer driving in difficult conditions. Mercedes-Benz is expanding the range of options with the
new Spectral Blue metallic paint finish. The new GLA stands on 18-inch 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels, aerodynamically optimised, painted in tremolite grey with a high-sheen finish.
The new GLA is powered by a 1.3-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine combined with the 7G-DCT automatic transmission. It can achieve 0-100 km/h acceleration in 8.9 seconds thanks to 120 kW (163 hp) and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.
