2026 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC: Small Footprint, Big Impression.
September 30 2026,
The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC brings the familiar Mercedes-Benz SUV experience into a compact, easy-to-live-with package. It combines sporty proportions with useful technology, all-wheel-drive confidence and a cabin designed around everyday comfort. With 221 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque and a long list of standard features, the GLA is ready to make everything from the weekday commute to the weekend drive feel a little more special.
Turbocharged Power With a Confident Feel
Under the hood, the GLA 250 4MATIC uses a 2.0-litre inline-4 turbo engine with mild hybrid drive, producing 221-horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. A Hybrid Starter-Generator works alongside the engine, while the 8G-DCT 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission helps keep power delivery smooth and responsive. The GLA can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds.
4MATIC all-wheel drive is standard, giving the GLA the ability to distribute power to all four wheels when conditions call for it. DYNAMIC SELECT lets you tailor the vehicle's character to different driving situations, while the Off-Road Engineering Package adds another layer of versatility.

Compact Proportions With Mercedes-Benz Style
The GLA makes a strong first impression without taking up unnecessary space. Standard 18-inch twin 5-spoke bicolour wheels complement its SUV profile, while aluminum roof rails add a practical touch. A panoramic sunroof brings more light into the cabin, and privacy glass gives the exterior a sleek finishing detail.
Drivers can also personalize the look with available AMG body styling, gloss black exterior accents, different 18- and 19-inch wheel designs, or even 20-inch AMG multispoke wheels. Colour choices range from Polar White and Night Black to Cosmos Black metallic, Mountain Grey metallic, High-tech Silver metallic and available MANUFAKTUR finishes.
A Cabin Built Around Everyday Comfort
Inside, the GLA balances technology with the features you actually appreciate during daily driving. Heated front seats, power front seats with memory and THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control help make the cabin comfortable through changing seasons. A heated steering wheel and 64-colour LED ambient lighting with illuminated vents add another layer of refinement.
The 40/20/40-split folding and reclining rear seats give you flexibility when carrying passengers or larger items, while the spacious cargo area and EASY-PACK power tailgate make loading and unloading straightforward.
Your Digital World, Right Within Reach
Mercedes-Benz User Experience, or MBUX, gives the GLA an intuitive digital centre. Its dual 10.25-inch displays place the digital instrument cluster and touchscreen multimedia display directly in front of you, while LINGUATRONIC voice control responds to natural language.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make smartphone integration simple, and inductive wireless charging with NFC pairing helps keep compatible devices ready for the road. Over-the-air software updates can also keep the system current without making every update a trip to the dealership.
Confidence From Every Angle
The GLA 250 4MATIC comes equipped with a comprehensive collection of driver-assistance and safety technology. Active Brake Assist, Blind Spot Assist, ATTENTION ASSIST, Active Parking Assist and a rearview camera are standard, along with Crosswind Assist, an advanced tire pressure monitoring system and eight airbags.
Available technology can take that confidence further with features such as Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, Active Steering Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Active Lane Change Assist, Evasive Steering Assist and a 360-degree camera.
