Overview
- Mercedes unveiled the third‑generation GLA in late July, launching the model with an electric‑first lineup of three EV trims and published specifications and pricing.
- The stronger EVs use an 85‑kWh battery and are rated up to 657 kilometres WLTP while the entry EV has a 58‑kWh LFP pack that prioritizes durability and cost.
- The GLA adopts an 800‑volt electrical architecture that Mercedes says supports up to 320 kW DC charging and can add about 270 kilometres of range in ten minutes where compatible chargers exist.
- Mercedes published retail pricing for Europe with the GLA 200 starting around €48,600, the GLA 250+ around €54,978, and the top GLA 350 4Matic near €58,100.
- Hybrid petrol variants built around a Geely‑supplied 1.5‑litre turbo with 48‑V mild‑hybrid and a 22 kW gearbox e‑motor are scheduled to follow in early 2027, reflecting supplier sharing and a staged move away from diesel.
