What's new about the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLA?

Exterior

The GLA's exterior carries forward the sleek, modern design introduced in its 2024 refresh. It features a bold front fascia with a signature star-pattern grille, slim LED headlights, and sculpted body lines that give it a strong visual presence. Compact dimensions make it easy to maneuver in tight city spaces, while the elevated ride height and pronounced wheel arches add SUV confidence.

Standard 18-inch alloy wheels provide a balanced blend of style and comfort, while higher trims and optional packages bring 19- or 20-inch wheels, chrome accents, and the sportier AMG Line body treatment. Roof rails, privacy glass, and an available panoramic sunroof round out a design that's as functional as it is attractive. The rear design features wraparound LED taillights and integrated exhaust tips, adding a clean, upscale finish.

Interior

Step inside the GLA, and you're greeted with a cabin that's designed to impress. Dual 10.25-inch digital displays come standard in Canada, merging a customizable instrument cluster with a touchscreen infotainment system powered by MBUX. High-quality materials, soft-touch surfaces, and stylish ambient lighting create a premium atmosphere far above the segment norm.

The cabin remains practical despite its luxury status. There's seating for five, with ample headroom thanks to the GLA's tall roofline. The rear seats fold in a 40/20/40 split, offering flexible cargo solutions and expanding storage to over 1,400 litres when needed. Standard features include heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and a power liftgate. Optional upgrades include leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, a Burmester® surround sound system, and a head-up display.

Powertrain

Under the hood, the 2025 GLA 250 4MATIC features a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 221 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, providing a smooth balance of performance and efficiency. A 48-volt mild hybrid system with an integrated starter-generator is also included, offering a slight boost in acceleration and improved fuel economy during stop-and-go traffic.Paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, the GLA delivers quick shifts and agile responses. Standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive gives the compact SUV added confidence in Canadian winters and wet conditions, distributing torque between front and rear axles as needed. The DYNAMIC SELECT system offers drive modes including Eco, Comfort, and Sport, allowing drivers to tailor the experience to their preferences.

Technology

MBUX infotainment system

Technology remains a strong suit for the GLA, with its standard MBUX infotainment system offering natural voice commands ("Hey Mercedes"), touch and gesture controls, and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. The system also supports over-the-air updates to keep features fresh without needing a dealer visit. Optional features include augmented reality navigation and wireless device charging.

Driving Experience

In terms of safety, the GLA comes well equipped with Active Brake Assist, Blind Spot Assist, Attention Assist, and a backup camera. Higher trims or option packages add adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, active steering assist, and a 360-degree camera system. This makes the GLA a confident and secure choice for both urban and highway driving in Canada.

Versions

The Mercedes-Benz GLA is offered in two trims, the GLA 250 4MATIC and the Mercedes-AMG GLA 35. Both trims deliver the refinement, luxury, and technology you expect from Mercedes-Benz, but they also deliver impressive performance. Of course, the Mercedes-AMG GLA 35 takes the nod here with outstanding accelerations and a perfect exhaust note to go along with it. On the other hand, the 2025 GLA 250 4MATIC provides an exceptional balance of luxury, agility, and efficiency while also providing dynamic and quick accelerations. Each model can be optioned in multiple ways and upgraded thanks to comprehensive optional packages.
