Inside, the Mercedes-Benz GLA Class facelift receives a new eight inch touchscreen infotainment system, a chrome frame for the storage compartment on the centre console and chrome finished switches for the electric seat adjustment. Also on offer is a new 360 degree camera with a bird’s eye view that shows the car’s surroundings via the media display.
A few other highlights of the new Mercedes-Benz GLA facelift include Active Brake Assist, Attention Assist and hands-free access for the boot lid, which can now be opened and closed with the foot movement. The model now stands 30mm higher, courtesy of a revised suspension setup.
Engine options will remain unchanged and hence the Mercedes-Benz GLA Class facelift will continue to be powered by the same set of engines. These engine options include a 183 hp 2.0-litre petrol engine and a 136 hp 2.1-litre diesel engine. Transmission duties will be taken care of by the conventional seven speed automatic transmission.
