2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA

Overview

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA proves that a stylish crossover doesn’t have to be a big one. The tidy compact SUV rides on the same platform as the GLB, but trades the latter’s boxy visage for something that’s much sleeker and more dynamic.

The Perfect Ride For…

Drivers who crave both sport and versatility. Fortunately, the 2023 GLA answers both in an attractive and tidy package. The compact crossover offers ample space for five occupants plus generous room for cargo. The 40/20/40-split rear seats allow for a variety of flexible combinations to accommodate long and bulky items without sacrificing passenger comfort. The dual-zone climate control system features double filtration to prevent allergens from getting in the way of any road trip. The available power Panorama roof opens up the interior, giving it a roomy feel that every occupant can appreciate.

Drive and Handling

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA comes equipped with a responsive and efficient turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine. Rated at a robust 221 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, the potent mill combines excellent acceleration with impressive efficiency. A dual-clutch eight-speed automatic transmission provides smooth power delivery to the front wheels or all four wheels if one opts for AWD.

Key Features

Capability

Buyers can equip their GLA with Mercedes-Benz’s versatile 4MATIC® all-wheel drive system, designed to shift power from the front to rear wheels whenever additional traction is needed. The GLA also comes with DYNAMIC SELECT, a multimode selector that adapts throttle response, shift points, and steering input to meet your demands. 

Style

The AMG Line adds more flair to an already attractive crossover. Set the mood with ambient lighting, available in your choice of up to 64 distinct colors. Other features include a distinct chrome grille and unique AMG wheels available in 18, 19, or 20-inch sizes. The Night Package exchanges most of the brightwork for dark trim, along with dark-accented AMG wheels.

Alternative Options

For drivers who need a smaller sedan, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class still features all the luxury you expect, with a more agile profile. If you prefer the higher seating position of an SUV and want more space, the Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV is a perfect choice. For more information about the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA or any of the models in this year's lineup, contact Mercedes-Benz of Silver Spring online today for more information.
