About the 2025 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLA
2nd generation (introduced for 2021); second model year after the 2024 mid-cycle refresh
Mercedes-AMG positions the GLA as its most compact performance SUV, combining a small, city-friendly footprint and flexible SUV cabin with a 302-hp turbocharged engine, performance-tuned AWD, and adaptive suspension. Its core appeal is quick response and strong cornering control without giving up five-passenger seating, a folding rear seat, or everyday comfort and technology.
The sole U.S. version is the AMG GLA 35, Mercedes-AMG’s smallest performance SUV. It pairs a 302-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine and AWD with adaptive suspension, while the cabin has twin 10.25-inch displays, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated sport seats, Burmester surround sound, and a panoramic glass roof.
