2024 Mercedes-Benz GLA SUV
 

Looking for a capable and luxurious Mercedes-Benz SUV? The classic compact GLA SUV returns for 2024 with numerous upgrades, including a redesigned grille, new upholstery color options, an electrified mild hybrid powertrain, and an MBUX system that’s more intuitive than ever. If you’re ready to roam Orange County and San Juan Capistrano in style, learn more about the GLA below—and find out when you’ll be able to take one for a test drive at Mercedes-Benz of Laguna Niguel!

2024 GLA Interior: Free-Standing Dual Display Screens, Improved Voice Control

The sleeker, more modern 2024 GLA interior is unified by the two glass display screens, now included as standard. The 10.25-inch driver display and 10.25-inch central multimedia display offer a seamless experience when piloting the vehicle, while opening up the cabin space with a clutter-free design.

On the tech side, the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) with Voice Control multimedia system has been upgraded with artificial intelligence. The result? More intuitive understanding of natural language and better memory of driver preferences. The system keeps track of your favorite routes, features, and settings—and then makes real-time suggestions to improve your driving experience. The available Burmester® surround sound system* now features the immersive Dolby Atmos® audio experience, enhancing the clarity and depth of your favorite tracks.

Other interior highlights include:

  • Newly designed MBUX display styles
  • Steering wheel upholstered in Nappa leather
  • Up to 10 Ambient Light color environments
  • Revised telematics system including wireless smartphone connectivity

2024 GLA Gets a Redesigned Grille, All-New Light Signature

Redesigned LED High-Performance headlights and LED taillights give the new GLA a signature new look, and the exterior color pallet expands with a new Starling Blue Metallic paint option and three more 18- and 20-inch wheel designs.

Several new design elements highlight the sporty and powerful personality of the GLA, like a horizontal fin and a new radiator grille with vertical louvers. Both the hood and front bumper have been redesigned to project more confidence on Aliso Viejo roads and highways.

Under-the-Hood Upgrades: Better Acceleration & Efficiency for the 2024 GLA

With the addition of a 48-volt onboard power supply, the GLA now runs on a mild-hybrid system with a 13-hp boost. And with regenerative braking, it’s even possible to “coast” while the combustion engine rests and recovers energy. At the end of the day, the 2024 GMA is quicker, more agile, and more responsive than the outgoing model.

Here’s a look at the highlights:

  • 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine with integrated starter-generator
  • 221 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque (+ 13 hp through electric starter-generator)
  • Available 4MATIC® all-wheel drive
  • LED headlamps with standard Highbeam Assist
  • Standard Parking package
  • Optional 360-degree camera
  • Available upgraded Driver Assistance package
