2024 Mercedes Benz GLA Review - Walk Around and Test Drive

It may not be a completely new model, but 2024 ushers in some much needed changes for the Mercedes Benz GLA. A mild hybrid system, slightly new looks, and updated infotainment system come together to modernize this affordable subcompact crossover. So let's take a dive into the 2024 Mercedes Benz GLA 250 to see how it stacks up against its competition.

Huge thank you to Mercedes Benz of Westwood for providing the 2024 Mercedes Benz GLA 250 for this review.

I bought the 2024 gla in 2024 - but I have some issues with noise while driving in the inside roads. On comfort or eco mode, while accelerating it makes a lot of noise when it shift gears as if it’s like in sport mode. Also when I brake slowly, it has this shifting or clunking noise from the rear or trunk area. Also the wireless pad charges on and off - anyone else seeing these issues ?

I have bought a brand new GLA250 facelift 2024 recently, including the plus package and leather seats. I had a similar car before, the BMW X1 xDrive25i.
I must confess I am pretty disappointed with the brand (I have never had a Mercedes before).
The internal air conditioning vents are chromed, very bright in my opinion - I can understand the retro design, but the problem is that the right and left grids reflect on the right and left windows exactly over the side-view mirrors outside, being difficult to see properly.
Another extremely annoying thing is the pivoted rear camera, very noisy when opening/closing. Again, I could accept the noise when you engage the reverse, but not when you are not trying to park or when you stop on a terminating road or out of the blue, without an apparent reason - it just doesn't make sense.
I hope Mercedes minimizes those problems in the next few months, tweaking the firmware/software and/or doing a recall to replace the camera and changing the vent grids for darker ones, at least the ones close to the doors, or I will seriosly think about selling the car.

A slight facelift but the new one will be out in 2015 pictures of it in YouTube so many won’t buy that one, we have a 2020 love it the 2 Litre Diesel is the one to go for my worry is will they bring the new one in Diesel the electric one is crap

Did they increase the lenth of the car?

[chloekern]

im a professional photographer looking to purchase a GLA but i am also considering the GLB due to the extra cargo space and adjustable back seats. do you think the GLA would be able to fit a good amount of large photo equipment (light stands, etc.) with the seats up or down?
