With many innovations and an expanded range of standard features, Mercedes-AMG compact SUVs are embarking on the next model cycle. The newly styled front apron with AMG logo and the light signatures at the front and rear make a strong visual statement. LED technology is now the standard lighting package, with MULTIBEAM LED headlights optionally available. Standout features of the model updates: The GLA wheel arch extensions are now painted in the same colour as the vehicle.

AMG engine electrified with hybrid functions
On the engine side, the GLA 35 4MATIC (combined fuel consumption: 9.2-8.8 l/100 km, combined CO₂ emissions: 209-200 g/km)¹ and GLB 35 4MATIC (combined fuel consumption: 9.4-8.9 l/100 km, combined CO₂ emissions: 214-203 g/km)¹ will now be fitted with the belt-driven starter generator (RSG) and an additional 48 volt on-board power supply as standard. The second-generation RSG functions as a mild hybrid. In addition to the temporary power boost of 10 kW (14 PS), it permits such functions as coasting and recuperation for greater efficiency. The 48 volt technology also improves comfort, with the transitions of the start/stop and coasting function barely noticeable. The 225 kW (306hp) output of the agile, high-torque 2.0 liter 4-cylinder turbo engine is distributed to all four wheels via the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 8G transmission and the AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive. The sporty driving performance is combined with a wide range of driving experience modes, from highly dynamic to smooth touring.

Enhanced interior with the latest MBUX generation
The latest generation of the AMG Performance steering wheel is standard. The AMG steering wheel buttons impress drivers with bright displays and the intuitive control logic. Drivers can access important functions and all driving programs without taking their hands off the wheel.
