About the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class
Mercedes-Benz’s updated GLA range is now on sale, with a range of cosmetic tweaks and mild-hybrid powertrains across the range.
The base price has climbed $5700 to $68,900 before on-roads, though the entry-level GLA 200 now comes standard with a panoramic sunroof, power-adjustable front seats with memory, metallic paint, a surround-view camera, and adaptive cruise control.
The AMG GLA 35 is the flagship for now, with Mercedes-Benz yet to confirm an updated AMG GLA 45 S for our market.
All models now feature 48V mild-hybrid systems, which can provide 10kW of additional power for brief periods and allows the vehicle to coast with the combustion engine switched off.

Paul Maric tests the GLA250, which is the most expensive GLA on sale before you hit the AMG models, to see whether it's worth the step up in price from the smaller A-Class.
