Used 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA is a small crossover SUV available in GLA 250, AMG GLA 35 and AMG GLA 45 trim levels. In performance terms, think of them as mild, medium and hot. Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel-drive system is optional on the GLA 250 and standard on the performance-tuned AMG variants. Standard features include:
Which GLA-Class trim does Edmunds recommend?
If speed and performance are priorities, the AMG trims are the only way to go. Otherwise, get the GLA 250 with 4Matic. Even if you don't need all-wheel drive, the 4Matic comes with an off-road mode that helps control downhill speed and modulate power on slippery or snowy surfaces for better traction. It's also just a beat faster than the front-wheel-drive version. We'd add the Premium package for the larger displays, and Driver Assistance package (which requires the Multimedia package) for the additional driver aids. Even with all three of these packages, the price remains well under the base price for the AMG version.
