The GLA advances its Mercedes-Benz SUV legacy in innovation and capability with a virtual voice assistant, dual 10.25-inch displays and wireless CarPlay. A hybrid 221-hp turbo-4 and 4MATIC® all-wheel drive roll in sporty style on 18-inch wheels.
Performance
Standard
2.0L inline-4 turbo engine with mild hybrid drive
Mild hybrid electrification advances the 221-hp 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine. Its 48-volt architecture and a belt-driven Starter-Generator allow fuel-free coasting, and can recapture energy during deceleration. It can also supply up to 13 hp and 110 lb-ft of torque for added response on demand. And the gasoline engine is further enhanced with a more efficient turbocharger, CAMTRONIC variable valve lift, and friction-reducing CONICSHAPE cylinders with NANOSLIDE walls.
Standard
Hybrid Starter-Generator
Electrifying the inline-4 gasoline engine is an innovative belt-driven Starter-Generator (RSG). It can generate a brief burst of 13 additional, gas-free horsepower, for even more enthusiastic yet efficient response. It also teams with the car's 48-volt electrical architecture to support gliding, recuperation and stop/start functions to seamlessly enhance efficiency.
Standard
ECO Start/Stop system
An ECO Start/Stop system automatically shuts off the engine at stoplights and other idle situations, to help save fuel and reduce emissions. As soon as the driver lifts off the brake, the engine instantly restarts, for immediate acceleration response. The ECO Start/Stop system can also be shut off by the driver at any time.
Standard
8G-DCT 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission
The 8-speed transmission combines the sporty response of a manual, the easygoing refinement of an automatic, and exceptional efficiency. Dual clutches offer quicker gear changes than a human can shift a traditional manual gearbox, while three overdrive ratios boost highway efficiency. The ECO, Sport and Comfort modes of DYNAMIC SELECT let you favor fully automatic efficiency and comfort, intensified response, or shift-for-yourself excitement via the steering wheel-mounted shift paddles.
Design
Heightened style, wide-ranging appeal
The GLA packs big ideas into a compact footprint. Nearly four inches taller than the original, it's shorter in length to make it even more maneuverable. Sleek LED headlamps draw the eye and the wind from the wide grille to the flowing contours of its muscular profile. Every detail is thoughtfully refined, from aerodynamics to doors that extend below the side sills, for easier entry and cleaner exits. Big wheels, flared fenders and a rear spoiler assert its sporty character.
High-style, high-tech cabin
Fine materials, forward-thinking technology and fresh style unite in a cabin that's equally practical and stylish, from the aircraft-inspired round vents to the reclining, 40/20/40-split rear seats. Widescreen digital instruments and displays, two touch interfaces, and an industry-advancing voice assistant elevate user-friendliness. And standard luxuries abound, like power front seats with memory, dual-zone climate control, and a power liftgate.
Panorama roof
Offering sweeping skyward views to both seating rows, this giant, fully functional glass sunroof features a large panel that can tilt up for ventilation or slide back for an open-air feeling. A power interior shade lets occupants vary the amount of sunlight entering the cabin, and you can even open and close it using the car's advanced voice control system.
Available in Pinnacle Trim, Sun & Sound Package
Aluminum roof rails
Sleek and purposeful, the roof rails accommodate a variety of available accessory attachments for carrying bikes, surfboards, skis, snowboards and cargo carriers. They're crafted from elegant aluminum that adds modern style even when you're not using them.
Safety
Active Brake Assist
Radar-based technology can alert you if you're approaching a vehicle ahead, or even some stationary objects, at a speed and distance that suggest a collision is likely. As soon as you start to brake, it can automatically provide an appropriate level of braking to help prevent a collision or reduce its severity. If you fail to respond, it can also initiate braking automatically at a range of driving speeds. The system can also help detect and react to crossing pedestrians at typical city speeds.
Mercedes-Benz Emergency Call service
If an air bag or seat-belt Emergency Tensioning Device deploys, your car can automatically initiate a call to Mercedes-Benz Emergency Services, transmitting your GPS-determined location and helpful vehicle information on your behalf. Trained experts are on call 24/7 to help summon local emergency responders to your location. You can also press the SOS button in the vehicle anytime you need emergency assistance, or see someone else who does. This reassuring service is provided as standard equipment in the vehicle, no matter who's driving.
ATTENTION ASSIST®
The first system of its kind, ATTENTION ASSIST® continuously monitors up to 70 parameters of driving behavior, and can automatically alert the driver with both visual and audible warnings if it detects signs of drowsiness on long trips. With enhanced sensitivity, the system can also help detect drivers who begin their trip drowsy, and offer more useful information to drivers along their journey via a dashboard display.
LED Daytime Running Lamps
Bright white LED Daytime Running Lamps help get the GLA noticed, for added safety and in modern style. Their distinctive angular design accentuates the subtle forward lean of the grille.
Rearview camera
For a better view of what's behind your vehicle when reversing, a high-resolution camera can display a live view on the central in-dash screen. Steering-dependent active guidelines on the screen can help you back into a parking space, and you can select between wide-angle and even wider 180-degree views.
Luxury
Power front seats with 3-position memory
Intuitive, seat-shaped controls help you find your ideal driving position with 8-way power adjustment, including 4-way power lumbar support. A memory system for each front seat recalls three stored seat positions with the touch of a button. The driver-seat memory also includes the power side mirror positions. Both front seats also feature adjustable cushion length, for optimal thigh support and added comfort.
Sport front seats
Sport front seats feature deeper side bolsters to offer enhanced lateral support.
Available in AMG Night Package
Heated front seats
Electrically heated front seats quickly take the chill out of even the coldest day. Three levels of warming automatically step down after several minutes to the lowest setting.
40/20/40-split folding/reclining rear seats
The rear seatbacks fold down in a 40/20/40 split, letting you to expand the cargo capacity of your GLA in a variety of configurations, up to 50.5 cu ft. The seatbacks also recline up to 5.5 inches. You can also fold the center section independently, to fit longer items like skis between two rear passengers. The seatbacks can also be locked in a slightly more upright position, expanding the cargo area while still seating three rear passengers.
Dual-zone automatic climate control
Separate left and right temperature controls allow the driver and front passenger to enjoy personalized comfort. In addition to fully automatic or manual control of blower speed and airflow distribution, the system includes a dust and pollen filter that helps keep particles as small as 5 microns from entering the cabin. Five adjustable vents in the dash and a pair of rear-cabin air vents help maintain passenger enjoyment throughout the cabin.
Multimedia
Voice Control with Natural Language Understanding
Memorizing fixed voice commands is a thing of the past: Artificial intelligence makes the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) a future you can live today. Vehicle functions for a wide range of features respond to natural, conversational phrases. For example, say "I'm cold" and MBUX can adjust the climate control. It can even learn new phrases over time, and respond with more flexible and friendly language as well.
Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX)
The Mercedes-Benz User Experience is a breakthrough in automobile cockpit control that keeps advancing. MBUX integrates digital displays including a touchscreen, touch-sensitive controls, and an intuitive, intelligent voice control system that can respond to your natural voice, learn your habits, and grow smarter over time. Added personalization lets you set up seven user profiles of settings in the car or from your phone, and can pre-position the driver seat and mirrors based on your stature.
"Hey, Mercedes" keyword activation
Two friendly words let you activate the voice control features of the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX). Just say "Hey, Mercedes" and then tell MBUX what you'd like in everyday language, like you're talking to another person. Want the MB Navigation to guide to a coffee shop? You can just say "Hey, Mercedes, I need a coffee" or ask it to find your favorite coffee chain nearby. Enhancements include support for up to nine languages, and a built-in help feature.
Biometric authentication
You can personalize up to 800 vehicle settings, from music programming to cabin settings, and save them in any of seven user profiles. Features can even be set up via the Mercedes-Benz app, when you're away from the car. Your Mercedes me PIN identifies your profile, or you can use a built-in fingerprint reader below the central touchscreen. The system can also recognize your voice, and profiles can even be used in multiple cars.
Available in Exclusive Trim
Wireless Apple CarPlay
Wireless Apple CarPlay® brings its own interface and apps to your Mercedes-Benz. Integrating with your car's in-dash screen and cockpit controls, Apple CarPlay lets you enjoy a variety of apps via an interface that looks and works like your iPhone®. That's because it links your iPhone and Siri® to your car, without plugging in a cable, so you can make calls, hear or dictate text messages, navigate to a destination, stream music, podcasts and audiobooks from a variety of sources, and more.
Multiple USB-C ports
State-of-the-art USB-C connectors allow plug-and-play enjoyment from your compatible devices as well as fast charging of your phone. With no fewer than five ports in the front and rear of the center console, there's a port within reach of every passenger.

It may not react to some stationary or suddenly moving objects, pedestrians or animals, or in certain situations where objects cannot be clearly identified. It cannot recognize or predict the curvature and/or lane layout of the road or every movement of vehicles and pedestrians ahead. It is the driver's responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the system's alerts before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely.

See the Operator's Manual or your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer for more information and important details.
*Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided. ATTENTION ASSIST® may be insufficient to alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift and cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury.
