2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA Model Review - Springfield, MO

What's New for the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA?

Mercedes-Benz creates a smoother GLA exterior for the new model year and refines much of the technology in the interior. It's obvious that they focused on taking an already award-winning recipe for luxury and fine-tuning it rather than completely changing the GLA's appearance and feature lineup. The result should leave Mercedes-Benz SUV lovers very pleased this year.

What Are the 2023 GLA Trims & Features?

The GLA comes in both 250 and 250 4MATIC® variations and includes a number of AMG® Line packages that customers can add to the base design for extra effect. The highlights of both trims are stunning and include 50.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity, 6.8 second 0 to 60 mph time, and an impressive 41 inches of legroom. The exterior of the GLA comes with aluminum roof rails, a chrome load sill guard, and spiral appearance trim. There are many optional features to pick up this year, including 20-inch AMG® multispoke wheels, a sport steering wheel, and a chrome diamond-block grille. The end result of the new design lives up to the Mercedes-Benz name and elevates performance.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2023 GLA Have?

This model is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged engine rated at 221 horsepower. This is a "rapid-multispark" ignition design. A powerful 258 lb-ft of torque runs at 1,800 rpm. Mercedes-Benz designed this engine with advanced technologies, and the payoff is big for customers. The engine performs beautifully with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

What Safety Features Does the 2023 GLA Have?

Mercedes-Benz makes the most of radar-based technology with features like Active Brake Assist. If this system senses you're about to collide with something ahead of you, it will automatically brake for you to prevent the collision. The new Attention Assist® feature monitors 70 categories of your driving behavior to quickly warn you if you're not performing well and seem to lack attention to your environment. The dash display issues critical messages so that you know you're not driving safely. Other inventive driver-assist features include Crosswind Assist and Blind Spot Assist. Passive features are also excellent and include Route-based Speed Adaptation and Electronic Traction.
