OVERVIEW
The GLA.
The GLA is Mercedes-Benz's smallest SUV, and the 2026 model year is the newest version with published US pricing; a 2027 model year is already listed on mbusa.com but without pricing as of October 2026, and all-new electric and hybrid GLA models are planned separately as future vehicles, not yet on sale. The GLA 250 uses a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 with mild-hybrid assist, rated at 221 hp and 258 lb-ft, through an 8-speed automatic; front-wheel drive is standard, with 4MATIC all-wheel drive available.
The Mercedes-AMG GLA 35 tops the current range with the same engine family tuned to 302 hp, 4MATIC all-wheel drive, and a manufacturer-estimated 0-60 mph time of 5.1 seconds.
It suits buyers who want Mercedes styling and technology in the smallest, least expensive SUV the brand sells in the US.
