Approved Used Mercedes-Benz GLA For Sale

The Mercedes-Benz GLA was first introduced in 2013 and looked a lot like a raised A-Class. Fast forward to the second generation, which came along in 2019, and it was presented in a more refined, more familiar SUV presence.

This is indeed the second generation, which received a facelift in 2024 and features a decent array of efficient 4-cylinder petrol and diesel engines. The petrol engines are electrified throughout, providing better consumption and emissions, meaning petrols average around 40mpg, whilst the diesel increases to around 53mpg.

Like many Mercedes-Benz models, there is a range-topping Mercedes-AMG model, in the form of the GLA 35 4MATIC, which is powered by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo engine producing 302bhp, resulting in a 0 to 62mph time of just 5.1 seconds.

Running costs will increase as you go up the range, whilst insurance is fairly reasonable as many GLA sit around the 22/23 group range (50 is the highest) whilst even the AMG performance models sit around group 40.

As for practicality, the GLA offers a decent amount of space with a large 485-litre boot, which increases to 1,430 litres with the rear seats folded.
