Subtlety is not the GLA’s thing. The diamond radiator grille and chrome pins sit between two MULTIBEAM LED headlights. A panoramic sliding roof runs overhead. 20-inch alloys fill the arches. Out back, LED tail lights and twin tailpipes finish the job. Add the new spectral blue paint and the picture is complete.
Flush-fitted alloys, 19 to 20 inches, give the GLA a planted stance. The sculpted profile adds to it. City streets or a country road, it’s ready for both.
That diamond grille and the MULTIBEAM LED headlamps give the GLA an athletic face. Substance backs up the style. Adaptive LEDs read the traffic and adjust the beam on the move. Cornering lights swing into bends, so you see more of the road exactly when it matters most.
There is drama at the back too. Bold tailpipes flank fully-LED rear lights. The detailing inside those lights is fine work and It shows.
Two panoramic glass roofs sit overhead. The front one slides. The rear is fixed. Together they pour light into the cabin. On a warm day, slide the front open for some fresh air.
Inside the Mercedes-Benz GLA, premium materials and a spacious layout create a refined, welcoming atmosphere. From the redesigned centre console and tactile steering wheel to the ambient lighting, every detail blends style with purpose. The intuitive MBUX multimedia system adapts to your preferences, while the Burmester® surround sound system with Dolby Atmos® delivers an immersive audio experience.
On the inside, the GLA feels a size above its class. Premium materials and a smart layout make it welcoming from the get go. The redesigned centre console, the tactile wheel, the ambient lighting: every detail earns its place. MBUX learns how you like things. The Burmester® system with Dolby Atmos® handles the sound.
Your hands land on a nappa-leather sports steering wheel. Touch controls on the spokes keep the key functions under your thumbs.
A retractable cover in the centre console hides a handy storage bin. Somewhere for the everyday clutter to go.
MBUX responds to voice or touch, whichever you prefer. Style the displays however you like. The 64-colour ambient lighting lets you set the mood of the whole cabin.

Need to haul gear? The Load Compartment Package adds flexible storage and a 12-volt socket. Handy for running a cooling bag on a road trip. The removable double cupholder holds drinks steady, or pops out for more room.
Up front, the sports seats give real lateral support, with lumbar adjustment for the long haul. The memory function saves your seat position. ENERGIZING seat kinetics gently shift you to ease back fatigue on longer drives.
In AMG form, the GLA wears its intent up front.
A redesigned apron, an AMG-specific grille and sharp LED headlamps set the tone.
A boot-lid spoiler lip, round tailpipes and fully-LED lights all play their part.
Body-coloured wheel arches tie it all together.
Step into the AMG cabin and quality materials meet a sporty edge. MBUX sits at the centre of it and pulls you closer to the drive. It is still an SUV though. Fold and flex the seats and the everyday practicality is right there, ready for the weekly shop or a weekend of gear.
Front and centre, a widescreen cockpit runs the latest MBUX. Sporty to look at, simple to use. Exclusive AMG display styles fill the fully digital instrument cluster, so you can set the cockpit to match your driving mood.
Slide the panoramic sunroof back and let some air in. It adjusts freely, so you get the breeze without the buffeting. Closed, the glass still lets the light pour in.
Sunroof controls sit inside, within easy reach. A fingertip is all it takes to tune the light and airflow.
Nappa leather wraps the AMG Performance steering wheel. It grips well and looks the part. Integrated AMG buttons put the key functions right under your fingers. Control stays quick and precise.

A reinforced body sharpens the handling without wrecking the ride.

At the heart of it sits a 2.0-litre four-cylinder with 48-volt assistance. It makes 225 kW and 400 Nm. It sounds the part, too. AMG RIDE CONTROL adds adaptive damping. Pick Comfort, Sport or Sport+ to suit the day, from the school run to a track day.
