Key features of the equipment line:

Make your vehicle fit for tough terrain: the additional Off-Road driving mode optimises traction, for example, over snow, slush or loose ground. To this end, it adjusts the power delivery of the engine and the ABS control for slightly rougher non-tarmac surfaces.

Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC takes a lot of work off your hands by automatically controlling the distance from the vehicle in front. In conjunction with traffic sign recognition, you can adopt detected speed limits conveniently at the touch of a button.^[f]

The Active Brake Assist with turning function can help to avoid collisions with moving or stationary vehicles in front, with oncoming traffic when making a turn and with moving pedestrians as well as cyclists. In addition to distance and collision warnings, the system primarily offers situation appropriate braking assistance including performing an emergency stop if necessary.^[f]

Active Lane Keeping Assist is an attentive observer: if you unintentionally leave your lane or get dangerously close to other road users, the system can bring you back into your lane with the help of steering intervention. However, if you still leave the lane, an additional warning will follow in the form of a steering wheel vibration.^[f]

The PRE-SAFE® system makes use of the time prior to an impending accident on your behalf. A raft of measures can be initiated to reduce the force generated as a result. The innovative PRE-SAFE® Sound generates a noise from the speakers which is able to trigger a natural protective reflex. This protects the inner ear by damping the noise of an accident.

Easy and stress-free loading and unloading with HANDS-FREE ACCESS: the boot lid opens and closes without physical contact. The sensor beneath the rear bumper detects a kicking motion with your foot. This is particularly helpful when you have both hands full of shopping bags or don't have a free hand to close the boot lid.

A cosy warmth for optimal comfort on your trip. In cooler weather or based on your personal preference, the seat heating quickly brings the seat and backrests up to a pleasant temperature. Choose between three intensity levels. Intelligent and comfortable: the seat heating automatically turns itself down.

Comfort begins when you step foot in your vehicle. With its wide, accessible door, the new GLA makes getting in and out a breeze, ensuring comfort from the moment you get in.

With the adjustable rear seats, you can transform your vehicle within the blink of an eye from a small spatial miracle for rear passengers into a compact premium transport vehicle. If necessary, you can move the entire rear seat bench forwards by 140 mm and significantly increase either the boot capacity or the legroom in the rear compartment.

GUARD 360° Vehicle Protection^[b][g] provides all-round monitoring of the vehicle's surroundings - for example, with the extended anti-theft alarm system and tow-away protection. Movements in the interior trigger visual and audio warnings. The collision detection function of Mercedes me informs you via the app.

Optimum onboard parking service. Active Parking Assist with 360° camera^[f] makes it easier for you to find an available parking space and to manoeuvre into and out of it. The choice is yours: you can park the car yourself with the reassurance of all-round vision, or avoid the job altogether and have it parked for you.

You can fold in the exterior mirrors electrically and make your vehicle slimmer at the touch of a button. Smaller parking spaces suddenly become big enough. This also helps to avoid damage. The rear-view mirror is also able to register dazzle from vehicles behind you and dim automatically.

State-of-the-art systems support you according to the situation with speed adjustment, steering and when there is a risk of collision. The risk of an accident is reduced and passengers and road users are protected effectively. This way you can relax and reach your destination safely.^[a][f]

Drive exactly how you like to. At the touch of a button, DYNAMIC SELECT offers different driving modes which determine the settings for the engine, transmission, suspension and steering, for example. In "Sport" mode, the vehicle is more dynamic, while in "Comfort" mode, its setup is exceptionally balanced. “ECO” focuses on efficiency, saving fuel and money.

The comfort suspension^[a] offers you a dynamic overall package. It ensures even better roadholding. The suspension has been lowered by 15 millimetres and works with specially tuned springs and dampers: it is specifically configured to be sportier than the standard suspension.

An automatic transmission that adapts to your wishes: with the driving mode, you also change the characteristics of the dual-clutch transmission. It uses the 8 gears selectively for efficient driving at low engine speeds or for impressive dynamic handling. Because the next gear is always already preselected, you can accelerate seamlessly.
