Exterior

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLA showcases an exterior that is both assertive and stylish, reflecting the latest design language of Mercedes-Benz. The front end is reimagined with a new radiator grille featuring vertical louvres and a horizontal fin, enhancing the vehicle's dynamic and powerful stance.

Powertrain

The 2024 GLA's engine and powertrain are a testament to Mercedes-Benz's fusion of performance with eco-conscious engineering. The GLA 250 model embraces electrification through its mild-hybrid system, combining a four-cylinder engine with an efficient eight-speed DCT dual-clutch transmission. The system is augmented by a 48-volt on-board electrical setup and a belt-driven starter-generator, which adds a quick 10 kW/13 hp power boost, enhancing agility and reducing emissions.

The starter-generator is integral to the GLA's functionality. It ensures smooth, low-noise starts and supports engine-off coasting, enhancing the driving experience. Its energy recuperation capability during braking and acceleration feeds the 12-volt and 48-volt batteries, optimizing energy use and contributing to the SUV's environmental friendliness.
