GLA Trims Acceleration 

Both the GLA 250 and GLA 250 4MATIC® are powered by an advanced 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine with mild hybrid drive. The difference lies in their acceleration times. The GLA 250 SUV reaches 60 mph in approximately 6.8 seconds, while the GLA 250 4MATIC® SUV achieves it slightly faster at 6.6 seconds. This small edge makes the 4MATIC® model more responsive off the line, appealing to drivers who value extra agility and confidence in performance. 

GLA Trims Powertrain 

Under the hood, both trims feature the same impressive setup: a 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine paired with a mild hybrid system. This configuration delivers 221 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, ensuring smooth power delivery and efficient performance. The addition of the mild hybrid drive not only enhances fuel efficiency but also provides seamless transitions during acceleration, making both models refined yet energetic choices. 

GLA Trims Drivetrain 

The main difference between the two trims is in how they deliver power to the road. The GLA 250 SUV comes with front-wheel drive (FWD), which is ideal for drivers who prioritize fuel economy and daily commuting efficiency. The GLA 250 4MATIC® SUV, on the other hand, features all-wheel drive (AWD), offering improved traction and stability. This makes it especially appealing for drivers navigating diverse road conditions or seeking extra confidence on wet or uneven terrain.
