The GLA.<br />
Always restless.<br />
Equally at home both on and off road, the GLA will get there<br />
in comfort and style.<br />
The GLA moves beyond the usual boundaries, with more<br />
traction and stability both on and off the road. The GLA is<br />
a genuine off-roader, but with its sleek lines it looks just as<br />
great in town as it does on a country road.<br />
Big on style from its iconic grille to its LED taillamps, the<br />
GLA’s imposing 18-inch or 19-inch wheels and black fender<br />
flares lend a confident stance. Chrome and aluminum add<br />
elegant accents from bumpers to roof.<br />
With the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system, you can be<br />
confident your GLA will take you anywhere you want to go.<br />
You can opt for all-wheel drive with several different engine<br />
variants, so you’ll always be sure of grip when you need it.<br />
Whether you need to be connected or want to feel<br />
protected, the GLA surrounds you with advanced technology<br />
that’s designed to enhance your life on the go, even when<br />
you’re away from your Mercedes-Benz.<br />
The GLA features a six-speed manual gearbox as standard,<br />
and the optional automatic 7G-DCT dual-clutch transmission<br />
shifts so quickly and smoothly you won’t notice it changing gear.<br />
The compact GLA packs some sizable surprises. Its<br />
sensible footprint conceals a cabin that’s generous with<br />
legroom, headroom, and luxury. With the available Hands-<br />
Free Access, just a “kick” under the bumper can open the<br />
standard power liftgate. It’s a grand opening to a generous<br />
space: 43.6 cubic feet of cargo room with the rear seats<br />
folded, or a generous trunk with all five seats in use.<br />
The Mercedes-Benz GLA is the car for you if you like<br />
adventure <strong>—</strong> in or out of town.<br />
