2025 Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-Amg GLA Consumer Reviews

Power is perfect in delivery transmission is dual clutch, love it like a manual but better! all black night packages and dynamics package with rave mode is where its at with these making them the premium version to performance lovers/ this car took me across the country 36 hrs drive one way with my dog in the back. i had a special doggy backseat liner for him and he loved it. might opt for the 19 or 20 inch wheel for a smoother ride. mine has the 21's you can feel the road is the upside =]. no reliability issues and its cheaper to service than a v8 amg by a bout half. just awesome four wheel drive.. leather seats i opted for no sunroof and am good with it. the sounds it makes is entertaining on the way for groceries or across the country i never got tired of the pops and burbles and snaps. stiff steering provides great control and the wheels going around corners feels so smooth and fast i cant explain it but the wheels all seem to go the perfect speed no slippage just power out of any corner or on ramp. gotta go foe a drive now.. prob the most fun car i have driven .

I've owned it for a few weeks, so take this review how you will. I purchased a 2021 GLA 4matic with the matte gray paint. It's a beautiful vehicle, ivory interior, a panoramic roof and I actually prefer the track pad next to the center console over the 2025 version. Personally, I love having buttons and a more tactile experience, but everyone is different. The car drives well, though it's got a sensitive brake and I'm getting used to that. The most dangerous design "flaw" this vehicle has is the gear shift. It's in the exact same location and looks exactly like my windshield wipers on the Subaru I drove before this vehicle. I'm pretty paranoid about accidentally putting my car in neutral while driving down the highway when the rain starts... but I think it's worth it. I just have to be mindful and get used to the change, but I love this car so much. I'm a small woman, 5'2", and I have a hard time seeing out of certain vehicles. I can see really well with minimal blind spots in this vehicle. It's got great visibility and maneuverability. I easily get in and out of the vehicle and I just love all the luxurious upgrades that my subaru did not have. I love the seats, the lights, the tech, the way it handles, I love the whole thing. I'm really proud of this vehicle and I'm really looking forward to driving it for the next 7 or 8 years hopefully.

Now I just purchased this, so there hasn’t been much time for things to go wrong but I’ll tell you why I bought it. First, price point couldn’t be beat for a luxury vehicle. I got my GLA for under $30k and right at 30k miles. Mine came with a special matte metallic paint that made it unique and is also a 4matic. I came from a Subaru forester and appreciate the visibility that vehicle gave me. The GLA has similar visibility. Great windows and no glaring blind spots. The brake is sensitive and I’m still learning to not stomp on the pedal. The only thing that I’d love to change about this car is the gear shift. It’s exactly where the windshield wiper controls were on my last vehicle. Not ideal. I’m actually terrified I might put my car in neutral while going 60 on the highway in the rain. It’s something I’ve got to be really careful about. The interior is gorgeous, as you’d expect from Mercedes. Mine is a tan leather interior with black accents. It’s got really cool tech inside and customizable wrap around screens. Can’t be beat for the price. I’m in love.

Compact, spacious inside with the higher roof line. Comfortable and quiet. The the premium package makes this thing is like a hot rod, luxery spaceship. It’s peppy fun to drive.

Mercedes - Benz nailed the 2021 total redesign of this compact SUV. Trade reviews consistently placed this new model ahead of the BMW X1, Audi Q3 and Volvo XC40 in style, performance and comfort. The 4 cylinder turbo charged engine delivers excellent responsiveness without excessive fuel consumption. Cabin is spacious, controls are logical and the MBUX system is state of the art and packed with features. Added the premium package, heated seats, panoramic roof and garage door opener options to the base GLA 250 4Matic adding about $4K to the cost. Difficult to find this model with a reasonable blend of options as dealer inventory tends be either base or fully loaded models.
