Mercedes-Benz GLA Submodels
The Mercedes-Benz GLA (X156) was the brand's first entry into the compact crossover segment when it launched for the 2014 model year. Based on the same platform as the A-Class and CLA, it offered a higher driving position and added utility in a stylish package. While the standard GLA 250 offered a 208-horsepower turbo-4, the enthusiast-focused model is the GLA 45 AMG, which boasts a hand-built engine producing up to 375 horsepower.
Collector interest is almost entirely focused on the GLA 45 AMG. Its status as a pioneering performance compact crossover, combined with the potent AMG powertrain and aggressive styling, makes it stand out. It's a practical daily driver that delivers genuine sports car acceleration, a combination that has aged well. Standard GLA 250s are not collectible but are seen as affordable entry points to the brand.
Buying Tips
- The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission can have issues with its mechatronic unit. Ensure shifts are smooth and check for consistent service history.
- On GLA 45 AMG models, the highly-stressed M133 engine requires meticulous maintenance. A complete service record from a qualified technician is essential.
- Check for water leaks inside the cabin, especially on models equipped with the panoramic sunroof, as the drains can become clogged.
- Listen for clunks and rattles from the suspension during a test drive. Worn control arm bushings and struts are common as these cars age.
- Test all interior electronics thoroughly. The COMAND infotainment system can be laggy, and various sensor failures can trigger dash warnings.
