Mercedes-Benz is preparing to roll out the next-generation GLA, due as a 2027 model. The current version, unveiled back in 2019, will make way for a crossover that leans further into modern design and technology.According to the latest information, the new GLA will keep its compact footprint and the trademark sloping roofline, avoiding overlap with the larger GLB. Freshly styled front and rear sections, new wheel designs, and a broader color palette aim to give it a crisper, more contemporary presence—exactly the kind of update that keeps a small premium SUV feeling relevant.Inside, early indications point to a pillar-to-pillar digital panel akin to the setup in the new CLA, though reserved for higher trims. This approach preserves the GLA’s role as a premium subcompact, with features designed to resonate with younger buyers without losing the brand’s polished character.The model is based on the updated MMA architecture, enabling gasoline and hybrid powertrains alongside a fully electric version. The electric GLA is expected to offer a dual-motor all-wheel-drive configuration with up to 349 hp. An AMG variant is also on the table, envisioned as a continuation of the GLA 45 4Matic idea.The official debut is planned closer to the start of sales, and pricing is described as slightly higher than today’s levels.
