Mercedes-Benz GLA 2022-2023

The Mercedes-Benz GLA is a compact luxury crossover SUV manufactured by German automaker Mercedes-Benz. It was first introduced in 2013 as a smaller and more affordable alternative to the larger Mercedes-Benz GLC. The GLA shares its platform with the Mercedes-Benz A-Class hatchback.

Fuel Type:

The Mercedes-Benz GLA is available primarily in both gasoline (petrol) and diesel variants, depending on the specific model and market. Fuel type selection may vary depending on the region where the vehicle is sold and the engine options offered. Gasoline-powered GLA models typically use regular unleaded gasoline (petrol) as fuel. These models feature turbocharged engines for better performance and fuel efficiency. The diesel-powered GLA model, on the other hand, uses diesel fuel. Diesel engines are known for their high torque output and generally provide better fuel economy compared to gasoline engines.

Engine:

GLA 250: This model features a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 gasoline engine, which produces around 208 horsepower.
GLA 45 AMG: The high-performance AMG variant of the GLA can be equipped with a more powerful turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 gasoline engine, offering significantly higher performance with an output of over 375 horsepower in certain revisions.


GLA 200d: In certain markets, the GLA can be offered with a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 diesel engine, offering a balance of power and fuel efficiency.

Power and Torque:

GLA 250: This model typically produces around 208 horsepower (155 kW) and 258 lb-ft (350 Nm) of torque. GLA 45 AMG: The high-performance AMG variant of the GLA offers significantly higher power output. In certain iterations, it can output more than 375 horsepower (280 kW) and 350 lb-ft (475 Nm) of torque. GLA 200d: The diesel variant of the GLA can have around 148 horsepower (110 kW) and 236 lb-ft (320 Nm) of torque, offering a balance of power and fuel efficiency.

DriveTrain:

Front-Wheel Drive (FWD): This is the standard drivetrain configuration for the GLA. In FWD models, power is sent only to the front wheels, providing efficient power delivery and generally better fuel economy. 4MATIC All-Wheel Drive (AWD): The GLA also offers the option of Mercedes-Benz's 4MATIC AWD system. The system actively distributes power between the front and rear wheels based on traction conditions to optimize grip and handling. It can provide enhanced stability and traction, especially in adverse weather conditions or challenging road surfaces.

Acceleration:

GLA 250: This model typically achieves a 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) acceleration time of around 6.6 to 7.1 seconds depending on various factors such as engine output, drivetrain and optional packages. GLA 45 AMG: The high-performance AMG variant of the GLA offers significantly faster acceleration. In certain iterations, it can achieve a 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) time of around 4.3 to 4.6 seconds, thanks to its more powerful engine and sport-focused enhancements.

Top Speed:

GLA 250: This model typically has a top speed in the range of 130 to 140 mph (209 to 225 km/h), depending on factors such as engine output, aerodynamics and tire specification. GLA 45 AMG: The high-performance AMG variant of the GLA offers a higher top speed than the base models. In certain iterations, it can achieve a top speed of around 155 to 168 mph (250 to 270 km/h) depending on the specific configuration.
