2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA Review

Making Room in Your 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA 

An SUV wouldn’t be fulfilling its mission if it didn’t have a cabin that can support various passengers and all their things. The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA serves as a compact SUV within the larger Mercedes-Benz SUV lineup, yet savvy packaging has allowed the model to achieve a roomy and versatile cabin.

The SUV seats five people and offers 41 inches of front legroom, 38 inches of rear legroom, 38.1 inches of rear headroom, and 39 inches of front headroom. The maximum cargo room of the interior measures 50.5 cubic feet and is possible once you store the rear seats flat.

A few amenities in the cabin you may also be interested in include the standard power front seats with 3-position memory, available heating capability for the front seats and steering wheel, and an optional 64-color LED ambient lighting system that illuminates the air vents and other aspects of the cabin.

The Punchy Performance of the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA

The tidy proportions of the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA give the crossover adept handling and imperturbable poise while traveling around local streets. Toss in a punchy, responsive engine and the model really comes alive in your hands.

A 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine is the go-to engine as it makes 221 horsepower, is mated to an 8G-DCT 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and can jettison from 0 to 60 MPH in just 6.8 seconds. You’ll also find this engine to be quite the full-sipper as it returns an EPA-estimated 24 city and 34 highway MPG.1

Prefer something a bit more festive? You have options. One of these options is an AMG®-enhanced version of the same 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine that generates 302 horsepower and makes its way from 0 to 60 MPH in just 5.2 seconds.

Still not enough? For those who want it all, you can move to a handcrafted AMG® 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine that reaches 382 horsepower and tosses your compact SUV from 0 to 60 MPH in just 4.4 seconds!
