2021 Mercedes- AMG GLA 45 SUV Driving

The 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 SUV

Seize every curve. Conquer every corner.

Say hello to our next overachiever.

Mercedes-AMG lifts the GLA SUV to a new level of power.

  • 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 SUV interior

From the moment you spy its aggressive stance, you know the GLA 45 means business.

Take in the long hood and sculpted powerdomes, the muscular shoulders over the wheels, the AMG-specific grille, chrome accents and that dramatic spoiler at the rear. While the GLA’s style credentials are well established, this AMG variant pushes it to a bold new extreme.

But aggressive styling means nothing if you can’t back it up. The GLA 45 has no worries there: Under the hood is a new, handcrafted AMG 2.0-liter inline-4 turbo engine, a potent blend of ingenuity and muscle. Does a compact SUV really need 382 horsepower? Maybe not, but no one who feels the thrill of zero to 60 in 4.3 seconds will find reason to argue. Disclaimer[4]

Somehow, with all that power, the GLA 45 is also a model of discipline. Much credit goes to its new AMG suspension, delivering maximum stability along with supportive comfort. But its true secret lies in AMG TORQUE CONTROL, distributing power variably not only between front and rear, but between left and right on the rear wheels. Paired with 4MATIC all-wheel drive, the GLA grips the road on every curve.

Inside, the vehicle has been designed to make the driver feel intuitively connected to the machine. Contoured sports seats provide consistent comfort and support, while the multifunction sport steering wheel puts the GLA firmly within the driver’s hands. And from touchscreen to touchpad to natural voice control, MBUX is ready to answer your command.

Feel the thrill yourself when the GLA 45 arrives at dealerships.
