The silhouette alone makes it unmistakably clear: the new Mercedes-Benz GLA is an urban SUV with a confident character and a sporty sense of adventure – designed to impress. The powerful SUV proportions, with their upright front end and flat windshield, present a significantly more dynamic appearance. Compared to its predecessor, the new GLA is 20 millimeters lower. Together with a longer wheelbase (+61 mm), a wider rear track, emphatically sculpted shoulders, and flush-mounted wheels ranging from 18 to 20 inches, the new lifestyle SUV has a planted stance on the road – ready for adventures of any kind.
The clean, surface-oriented design with its reduced lines reinforces the sporty and commanding presence. Striking character lines and powerful surfaces create a vibrant interplay of light and shadow in the side view. Wraparound wheel arch cladding (depending on the equipment line) and a visual underride guard at the front and rear emphasize its off-road character. The roof rails emphasize the functional side of the GLA and accommodate optional roof luggage systems. High-quality chrome trim on the front and rear adds exclusive touches.
