Fuel Type
Variant

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLA is Mercedes' smallest SUV, punching above its compact footprint with genuine luxury, sharp technology, and a clear trim structure that makes it easy to shop — choose between the GLA 250 (FWD, starting at $41,500), the GLA 250 4MATIC (AWD, $43,500), or the performance-focused AMG GLA 35 (302 hp, $58,550) to match your priorities. All standard GLA 250 models are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four producing 221 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and available 4MATIC® all-wheel drive for confident handling in any condition. Every 2026 GLA comes standard with dual 10.25-inch displays, wireless Apple CarPlay, a virtual voice assistant ("Hey Mercedes"), and a mild-hybrid 221-hp turbo-four wrapped in sporty styling with 18-inch wheels and LED lighting, while the available Pinnacle Package adds a panoramic sunroof, head-up display, surround-view camera, and extended ambient lighting for a more premium cockpit experience.
