Mercedes Benz GLA 200

The Mercedes Benz GLA 200 subcompact SUV boasts a groundbreaking design and innovative technology.

The GLA 200 represents the three-pointed star in a more distinctive way than ever before and a subcompact luxury crossover that has an even more distinct personality.

You can trust Mercedes Benz to push the boundaries, driving the whole industry forward in terms of both design and technology.

Exterior Of The Mercedes GLA 200

On its front, this vehicle’s styling is dominated by a large Mercedes Benz badge, which is easily recognizable. The stylish and high-performance headlamps enclose the chrome dotted diamond grille from the sides, emphasizing its central position even further.

An elegant front bumper is complemented by a chrome lip spoiler that adds a touch of sportiness. The Mercedes Benz GLA200 uses an elevating side window as do many other subcompact SUVs. This gives the car a sleek looking side silhouette.

The Mercedes Benz GLA is also fitted with 18-inch wheels, which are further accentuated by the darkened side panels, which give it a rugged appearance.

Stylish taillights and a cleverly designed wide boot opening complete the minimalistic look of the rear. A prominent diffuser and rear bumper make the car stand out at the back. 

Its wonderfully compact body is packed with style, class and advanced features that set it apart from most of its competitors in the segment and once again show why Mercedes GLA 200 is among the industry leaders.

Engine Specs and Powertrain

The new Mercedes Benz GLA200 is powered by a 1.3L turbo petrol engine. It produces 120kW (163hp) of power and 250Nm of torque. 

Don’t be fooled by the small engine size. The perky engine makes accelerating, overtaking and merging into expressways feel effortless. This high-performance engine accelerates the GLA 200 to 100 mph in just 8.7 seconds and reaches 210 km/h effortlessly while covering 16.4km/L.

The gearbox plays a very large role in this quick reaction and easy acceleration. A 7-speed dual-clutch makes the best use of two clutches, allowing for the best response in fast-paced situations. 

There is flawless acceleration on harder accelerations as well as very fast and smooth shifts. This makes the Mercedes Benz GLA 200 a very responsive compact SUV. The push is instantly available and sufficient at all times.

Interior Of The Mercedes GLA 200

Despite its almost identical dashboard to the A-Class, the Mercedes Benz GLA’s driving position is different. The seating position is much higher, so it’s clear that you’re driving an SUV, 

Due to the wide range of adjustments, you shouldn’t have much trouble getting comfortable. The windscreen pillars are slim and the driving position is raised, ensuring excellent forward visibility.  And with the Mercedes Benz GLA’s relatively flat window line, you can see more behind you.

The panel of the door sills come engraved with an illuminated ‘Mercedes Benz’ logo which lights up when you open the door.

It comes equipped with a stylish multifunction sports steering wheel and two 7″ digital screens, one dedicated to infotainment and one for the instrument cluster. The central console is spacious without taking up too much interior space. It also offers innovative touchscreen controls for its infotainment screen.

The driver and front passenger seats come equipped with sports seats that settle you in snugly for the ride. The adjustable head restraints allow for a perfectly customised relaxed sitting position.

Separate climate control for both the driver and front passenger allows each person to individualise the temperature around them. Rear cabin air vents keep your passengers cool and comfortable.

Furthermore, the Mercedes Benz GLA200 is equipped with multi-zone air conditioning, a reverse camera, satellite navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and other features. 

This cabin has a good amount of storage capacity. There are cup holders, door pockets, a phone tray, a glovebox, an armrest bin and maps pockets.

Spacious Rear Cabin And Boot Space

It is surprising how spacious the rear seats are for a car of this size. The boot has a capacity of 435L, making it a large storage area for a stylish subcompact. The second-row seats can be folded or reclined if you need more space. 

Loading bulky objects is easier with the wide boot opening. This is even more evident with the miniature load lip. 

Interior Quality

The interior design of the Mercedes GLA 200 deserves a 5-star rating. 

With its satin black piano-black plastic, leather, wood and metal inserts, it has a more luxurious look than your typical family SUV.

Jet-style air vents inspired by the E-class Coupé elicit a warmer feeling, especially when lit up at night. This interior looks better than anything else on the market.

Safety Features

Regardless of the time of day or situation, every time you are behind the wheel of the GLA 200, you know that you are in good hands. Your GLA makes driving a breeze and gives you and your family peace of mind with the Mercedes Benz Intelligent Drive.
