The GLA is just as exciting and luxurious as ever, with updated features for the latest model year. Explore some of the features of this crossover SUV that will make you want to claim one as your own.

Advanced Safety Technologies

While the advanced safety technologies in the Mercedes-Benz GLA are technically several great features, not just one, we combined them to fit other features on this list as well. You get some pretty innovative safety tech on the GLA in addition to the expected features like blind-spot monitors and a rearview camera.

This includes Active Emergency Stop Assist, which will activate your brakes for you if you seem inactive or distracted for too long. Another is the pre-safe function that applies brakes if a car is approaching from behind your crossover SUV.

The Buttons at Your Fingertips

The great buttons at your fingertips in the Mercedes-Benz GLA start with the steering wheel and continue on the roof by the rearview mirror.

The steering wheel is multi-functional, including pads to let you control the auto’s infotainment system. It also lets you control the volume, change your music, or control the driver’s instrument cluster.

The button on the roof near the rearview mirror is part of the Mercedes Benz Emergency Call Service. Just press the SOS button, and emergency services will be automatically notified following an accident. The service will send your GPS location and tell emergency services how many people are in your car so they can get there quickly and be ready.

Performance and Driving Feel That You Will Love

No matter where you drive the Mercedes-Benz GLA, you will enjoy your experience behind the wheel. This is true whether you choose the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder enhanced by AMG®, the new 2.0-liter turbo 4-cylinder handcrafted by AMG®, or the plug-in hybrid. You will also get the choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

For reference, the GLA 250 delivers 208 horsepower and only needs 7.1 seconds to reach 60 mph. You also get a sporty driving feel no matter which GLA you choose. As you drive, you will likely appreciate that this crossover SUV shares a platform with the sporty CLA sedan.

Luxurious Interior

Like the safety features, the luxurious interior is technically more than one great feature of the Mercedes-Benz GLA. You will relax in the power seats on the high-quality upholstery. The seats are made of vegan leather, delivering ethical luxury.
