MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 250 SAFETY FEATURES

MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 250 OTHER FEATURES

One of our favorite features is the now-standard Mercedes Active Brake Assist. Although we always say you should never do anything that distracts you from keeping your eyes pointed on the road ahead, the ABA takes over with an unblinking eye that uses radar to offer a forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking if needed.

Blind Spot Assist is on guard with the Mercedes-Benz GLA and utilizes radar to alert you to a vehicle in your Blindspot. Lane Keep Assist keeps you focused as it vibrates the steering wheel to alert the driver they are drifting from their intended path.

Additional features include leather seats, blind-spot monitoring, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 360-degree camera, LED headlamps, a Harmon Kardon premium audio system, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and in-car Wi-Fi.

TAKE A LOOK AROUND THE MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 250

The new Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 is less imposing than some of its bigger brethren, but it's still every inch the tough vehicle you expect from the brand. Riding high for on- and off-road excursions, it is prepped for the great beyond, that is if you are.

Looking at the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 from the nose with its double lamella wings is every bit as revealing as when peering into the grille of its larger Mercedes-Benz GLS and Mercedes-Benz GLE siblings. It features more expressive side panels but displays a stimulating view of what the modern SUV can actually be.
