Fits anywhere. Stands out everywhere.
The great thing about the Mercedes-Benz GLA is that it combines the versatility of an SUV with the flexibility and fuel-efficiency of a car. It doesn’t matter if you thrive on the tight streets of the city or love exploring the mystery of cross-country roads, this vehicle is equipped and designed for both.
“The GLA is a compact SUV that’s pre-filled with big ideas—and eager to take on yours.”
Design
The exterior of the GLA was designed to optimize efficiency and roadholding. It was created with an extremely aerodynamic exterior shape with side sills and wheel arches outlined in a resilient matte black cladding. Whether you’re looking to do some rock climbing in Hampton, New Brunswick or speed down the slopes at Mount Tremblant, all of your gear will fit perfectly on the chrome roof rails the GLA comes with. This compact SUV also comes with an integrated rear spoiler that highlights the tautly arched roofline.
Inside, the GLA’s cargo potential grows even further. One thing that is key during any road trip is comfort and convenience. Mercedes-Benz understands this and made sure the GLA has displays and controls that are ideally placed within the vehicle. It is equipped with the all new 7” freestanding central screen atop its deeply-hooded dashboard.
Technology
PARKTRONIC with Active Parking Assist
Mercedes-Benz PARKTRONIC technology is available in the GLA and helps to detect obstacles while drivers navigate tight spaces by alerting them with audio-visual indicators in the cabin. Tricky parking becomes easy with the clever Active Parking assist that finds a parking spot and expertly steers the vehicle hands-free. The rear view camera shows a live colour view of the area behind the driver’s GLA on the in-dash screen while steering guidelines make backing up a breeze.
Collision Prevention Assist Plus
GLA prevents any fear of the open road with the Collision Prevention Assist Plus feature. This system alerts the driver when he or she is driving at a speed and distance that suggests the potential of a collision. Once the brake is applied, the system’s Adaptive Brake Assist automatically increases the braking force as necessary to either avoid or reduce the severity of a collision. Autonomous braking is provided from speeds up to 105 km/h.
Adaptive Braking Technology
Feel confident on any road knowing that your GLA comes with the intuitive Mercedes-Benz Adaptive Braking Technology. This feature allows drivers to lift off the accelerator quickly while Predictive Brake Priming pre-charges the brakes for quick response. In rain or snow, both common occurrences in the Canadian climate, the GLA engages the Automatic Brake Drying feature that periodically acts to seep away water build-up.
