Wheels that turn (heads)

The wheels on the GLA don’t just turn, they turn heads. The Mercedes GLA comes with stylish 19 inch alloy wheels that look the piece. The 5 point star of the GLA’s alloys fit the 3 pointed star which sit at their centre, and mark it out from the compact SUV crowd. The vehicle’s exterior design is sleek and modern, with a surprisingly low profile roof offering a simultaneously imposing and aerodynamic look. Couple this with the large Mercedes badge sitting at the centre of its bold grille, and sensually curving LED headlights, the GLA exudes style and refinement.

Beauty on the inside

The GLA’s interior is just as well appointed as its redesigned exterior. The heated front seats are upholstered in Mercedes’ proprietary artico leather, and the dashboard has a gorgeous carbon finish after the touch screens run out. The amg line premium edition available on subscription from mycardirect includes an improved sound system, and ambient interior lighting to illuminate the air vents, doors and dashboard.

Two zone climate control ensures that you and your front passenger can sit in complete comfort independently. Mercedes “thermotronic” technology means you never have to readjust, because the sensitive sensors even register changes in conditions, such as sunlight.

Dynamic driving

Mercedes have firmed up the suspension in the new GLA, to improve the compact SUV’s driving dynamics and agility. This firmer suspension does not however come at the expense of comfort, sitting higher on its axels, the GLA’s suspension does a fantastic job of softening the bumps. Either way the dampers are adjustable, so you can find the perfect balance of sportiness and comfort for yourself.

Under the bonnet the 8 speed automatic gearbox quietly works miracles, allowing you to effortlessly accelerate from 0-60 mph in 8.6 seconds up to a top speed of 129 mph.

Click and Drive

More practical than ever

The new GLA has expanded in every direction. The axels have been widened, and not only is it slightly wider, but significantly taller than the previous model. This means not only more Mercedes for your money, but significantly increased rear leg room. The boot is bigger too, at 485 litres, rising to 1420 litres when the rear seats are folded down. The GLA is edging away from compact to full size SUV.

At mycardirect we offer the GLA 250e plug in hybrid, which allows you to drive around town on purely electric power, so you can experience the best of electric and internal combustion driving.

Safe as houses

Performance and practicality are all well and good, but safety is just as important. Fortunately the GLA is equipped with safety features to match that impressive practicality and power. Blind spot assist and active brake assist help you to avoid collisions with cars, cyclists and pedestrians alike, while Mercedes Guard 360 deters thefts and break ins.

In the unfortunate event of an accident, rear sidebags can deploy to protect precious cargo in the rear. The sidebags in the rear protect the chest area of passengers in the event of a severe side impact. Together with the standard windowbags, they offer the optimum safety potential to prevent or mitigate injuries.

Augment your reality

Alongside the gorgeous touch screen displays, the GLA’s cameras and computers combine to give you next level traffic and navigation information. Thanks to Mercedes’ Extended Navigation Sevices, the GLA not only finds the best route, but provides intelligent information about your route, such as up-to-date fuel prices or the parking situation at the destination.
