Mercedes GLA Specs & Dimensions

Sport models come with the same man-made leather seats and smartphone mirroring for Apple and Android phones as SE cars but get a larger eight-inch infotainment display, rain-sensing wipers, 18-inch alloy wheels and dual-zone climate control. You also get a reversing camera and aluminium roof rails as standard.

AMG Line models combine sporty looks inspired by the high-performance GLA 45 models with affordable running costs. You get 19-inch alloy wheels, revised bumpers with metal trims, upgraded front brakes and sports seats with eye-catching red stitching alongside the same Apple and Android phone-compatible infotainment system as Sport models. Also standard are stainless steel pedal trims, a reversing camera, rain-sensing wipers and dual-zone climate control.

For early adopters of the new Mercedes GLA, the Exclusive Launch Edition tops the range. It comes with a high-gloss black beltline and windowline, adaptive LED headlights, a panoramic glass sunroof, and a diamond grille with chrome pins and chrome inserts. It has black roof rails rather than the aluminium rails fitted to other models. The 20-inch alloys wheels are of a design that’s exclusive to the Launch Edition.

The GLA 35 is a rapid car, so you need an infotainment system that can keep up, so it’s just as well the widescreen MBUX system is standard. In addition, the 35 has 19-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels, an AMG bodystyling kit, privacy glass and a 7-inch digital instrument cluster. There are also LED headlights and the Dynamic Select driving mode system.
