The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class SUV allows you to get into a luxury SUV with German engineering, high-end finishes, and a plethora of standard tech without breaking the bank.

Small but Mighty

“In many ways, the GLA looks and drives like a fun-sized version of Mercedes’ bigger GLC SUV, and that’s a good thing. If you don’t need the extra seating from the GLB or the extra space of a GLC, the GLA delivers a lot of luxury and tech for the money.” — Christian Wardlaw, Edmunds

The GLA-Class is the least expensive and smallest SUV in the Mercedes-Benz lineup, but it’s not lacking any of the high-end style and build quality found in the automaker’s more expensive offerings. The interior of the SUV is elegant and roomy, featuring high-quality materials across the cabin. Dual displays (7-inch on base models and 10.3-inch on higher trim levels) feature prominently on the dashboard — one for the gauge display and one for the infotainment system. A centre-console-mounted infotainment controller, circular air vents, and column-mounted shifter are also part of the layout.

Mercedes-Benz increased the interior space of the 2022 GLA to provide more room for passengers. This includes almost five inches of extra legroom for rear-seat passengers, as well as increased space for elbows and shoulders. Cargo capacity is also increased, and other updated features include a flush cargo floor and rear seats that fold flat.

Power to the Max

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class SUV is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that delivers 221 horsepower and 258lb-ft of torque, pairs with an eight-speed automatic, and offers front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The available 4MATIC all-wheel drive system heightens off-road capability and all-weather traction thanks to the ability to send power from front wheels to rear based on each tire’s real-time grip.

Every model delivers peppy performance and plenty of spunk to compete with other small luxury SUVs, including a suspension that is compliant over rough stretches of road to provide a smooth and bump-free ride.

Technology at Its Heart

“The smallest and most affordable offering in the vast Mercedes-Benz SUV lineup is the GLA-Class. This small and spunky crossover does a great job embodying the elegance of the Mercedes-Benz brand in the form of a subcompact SUV. The interior is luxurious and roomy for its size, and it’s packed with modern technology that’s easy to use.” — Eric Brandt, KBB

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA SUV gives you a peek into the future thanks to the forward-thinking technology present on every model. A pair of screens help keep you informed, entertained, and in command at all times. You can customize the gauge display to see exactly the information that you want, and you can simply tell the car what you need through the available intelligent voice assistant.

Mercedes-Benz also delivers advanced driver-assist features on the GLA, including automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, to deliver confidence and peace of mind during your journeys.

The Entire Package

“The 2022 GLA250 bundles contemporary Mercedes-Benz luxury and technology into a stylish, compact package.” — Drew Dorian, Car and Driver
