Mercedes-Benz created the GLA for the drivers that value the space and seating position of an SUV, but don’t want the lazy handling and mammoth feeling of a truck. For 2021, you can expect even more from one of the brand’s most popular compact SUV. Improved performance, space, and safety combine in the next-generation GLA to provide drivers with more than ever before. The Sears Imported Autos team expects the new model to land later this year, and just from taking a look at the spec sheet, we’re excited.
Enhanced Design
From the outside, the GLA is actually smaller. It’s over half an inch shorter, but the designers at Mercedes-Benz have still increased the interior space with more headroom in the front, more legroom in the rear, and trunk space. This smart strategy gives you more of the best in both size and comfort. The entire vehicle has also been raised four inches, providing more ground clearance for off-road adventures and a better viewpoint for the driver. The new roof-pillar design gives the driver an improved field of view and advanced technology features inside help you stay connected with intuitive controls and exciting options.
Improved Safety
Mercedes-Benz has always led the charge in safety and the GLA’s new available Driver Assistance Package includes more features than ever to keep you and your family protected on the road. Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC®, Active Steering Assist, Active Speed Limit Assist, Active Brake Assist, with cross-traffic function, Evasive Steering Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Route-Based Speed Adaption, and PRE-SAFE® Plus are all working behind the scenes to make your next drive easier and safer.
Advanced Performance
When you get behind the wheel of the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA, you’ll notice an exciting difference. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine now produces up to 221 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. That bump in power results in a 0 to 60 mph time of just 8.6 seconds. Tied to the 8G-DCT dual-clutch transmission and the available 4Matic all-wheel drive with Off-Road Engineering Package, drivers will be rewarded by the precision gearing and powerful traction of the new GLA. DYNAMIC SELECT puts you in control of how the GLA handles with selectable drive modes to match your terrain.
