About the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class
Last updated Dec 18, 2024Mercedes-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.
