The exterior of the GLA.
In terms of curiosity and a thirst for adventure, the GLA is a genuine off-road vehicle. On the other hand, the dynamic design lines emanate pure forward thrust, almost like a sports coupé. See for yourself and marvel: the GLA doesn't fit into any category, but matches your life perfectly.
Exclusive design highlights of the GLA include an underride guard with bucket teeth look, power domes on the bonnet and polar white paintwork. This already sounds exciting. And looks even better. Three design lines are available – Style, Urban and AMG. The striking Night package is optionally available. Give free rein to your imagination.

Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive
Energising comfort and exemplary safety.
Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive
Energising comfort and exemplary safety.
In rush hour, during a long drive at night or on an unfamiliar route – your GLA noticeably takes the strain out of driving, particularly in stressful situations. This is based on a concept that makes every journey in a Mercedes-Benz safer and unique: Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive. Because the time you spend behind the wheel is your time. Time for relaxation. Time to replenish your energy. So that, first and foremost, you reach your destination safely, but are also always relaxed when you get there.
Greater safety at night.
In addition to their distinctive visual appeal, the LED high-performance headlamps boost night-time driving safety thanks to broad light distribution, a daylight-like colour temperature, and low energy consumption.
The LED bi-colour tail lamps give the car a striking external appearance and improve visibility.
Now you have everything in view.
Active Parking Assist as part of the Parking Package with 360-degree camera makes it easier to find and select a parking space as well as to enter or leave parallel and end-on parking spaces or garages.
The 360-degree camera transmits a realistic image to the media display and consequently supports during parking and manoeuvring.
Too small a distance between vehicles is one of the main causes of severe accidents.
The system gives the driver a visual warning if the distance to the vehicle in front is too small.
If the danger of a collision is detected, an acoustic warning signal is emitted; thereafter, the driver's braking action can be supported, and if the driver does not react, the vehicle speed can be autonomously reduced.
The PRE-SAFE® System.
This optional system is able to identify critical handling situations in advance and initiate preventive occupant protection measures in the event of an impending accident.
These include reversible belt tensioning or the automatic closing of any open windows, for example.
Smartphone Integration Package.
This package allows compatible smartphones with the corresponding operating system to be integrated into the vehicle via Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto, and to be operated, e.g. by voice command.
The system supports major applications and selected apps including navigation.
