In the less powerful GLA 200d variant, the diesel engine produces 134bhp and 300Nm of torque which is sent to the front wheels via a 7-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox.

The GLA 220 d 4Matic variant sports the same 7-speed automatic gearbox but adds all-wheel drive with the diesel engine producing 168bhp and 350Nm of torque. The GLA 220 d sprints to 100kph from standstill in 7.7 seconds and continues accelerating till it tops out at 218kph.
The 2.0-litre petrol engine cranks out 180bhp and 250Nm of torque and is coupled to a 7-speed dual clutch gearbox. The GLA 200 accelerates from 0–100kph in 7.6 seconds and has a top speed of 225kph.
The new GLA remains unchanged in terms of dimensions though the ride height has been increased by 30mm to 183mm. The GLA is 4,417mm long, 1,804mm wide, 1,494mm tall, and has a 2,699mm long wheelbase.
Mercedes GLA Design & Features
The facelifted Mercedes GLA sports a chunkier front bumper and the bi-xenon headlamps of the older car have been replaced by full LED units which still play host to the LED daytime running lights. The headlamps flank the new grille which looks brawnier than before. The three-point Mercedes Star at the centre of the grille lights up whenever the SUV is locked or unlocked and when a door or the boot is opened.
From the sides, the new GLA features a more SUV-ish stance compared to the pre-facelift car thanks to the increased ride height. The GLA sits on 18-inch alloy wheels that are shod with 235/50 R18 tyres.
At the rear, the big changes come in the form of the LED taillights which feature a dark border element. Also changed is the rear bumper that looks more rugged.
As owners step inside the new GLA, they will be greeted by the illuminated door sills. Other new features include a large 8-inch infotainment display which also sports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Other features inside include a revised instrument cluster with new dials, electrically adjustable driver and front passenger seats, stainless steel pedals, ambient lighting in 12 different colours, and a panoramic sunroof.
In terms of safety, the new 2017 GLA sports six airbags, ABS, Brake Assist, Adaptive Braking, Hill-Start Assist, Electronic Stability Control and Acceleration Skid control. Mercedes has also added the Attention Assist feature which detects if the driver is drowsy and gives visual audio warnings to get the driver's attention.
