More than a commanding view of the road ahead, the GLA offers a rewarding view of what's next.
With intelligent tech, thoughtful luxury and smart looks, the 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLA not only puts more sport in compact SUVs, it puts more you. From a tight corner of the city to a tight corner of a back road, Mercedes-Benz GLA is agile and easy to maneuver. Turbo-hybrid power and a solid stance make it quick on its feet, which translates to confidence in your hands. Within its nimble length, the GLA gives you more space to ride, more room to shop, stow and be spontaneous. A standard power liftgate and 40/20/40 rear seats welcome your gear, but expressive design and elegant details are just the start of GLA style.
