Eighth Model of the Line-up
This is the latest GLA from Mercedes- Benz. A compact but very powerful SUV. 4MATIC models have the Off-Road Engineering Package as standard, meaning an additional driving program, a downhill driving assist function and an off-road animation in the media display, in combination with MULTIBEAM LED headlamps, a special light function for better off-road driving in low light conditions.
This sporty all-wheel drive configuration allows the driver to use the DYNAMIC SELECT switch to influence the characteristics of 4MATIC. Three characteristic maps are available to control the all-wheel drive clutch, though the system responds flexibly to the current driving situation in any mode. In regular driving operation, the drive program “Eco/Comfort” is based on an 80:20 distribution (front axle:rear axle), while in “Sport” it is 70:30. In off-road mode, the all-wheel drive clutch acts as an inter-axle differential lock, with the basic distribution a balanced 50:50.
As the first model in its class to do so, the GLA features a car wash function With just one command, the exterior mirrors are folded in and the side windows and sliding roof closed. The information from the rain sensor is suppressed so that the windscreen wipers remain switched off in the car wash. The climate control switches to air-recirculation mode and, after a few seconds, the front image from the 360° camera (if fitted) is displayed in order to assist the driver when driving into the car wash.
The new Mercedes-Benz GLA has over 16 cm more in height than the previous model, more headroom in the first row and offroad design like upright front section, short overhangs at the front and rear, and protective cladding all round.
