2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLA35 Transformed

The AMG division at Mercedes-Benz continues to remodel high-performance versions of the brand by introducing the new 2021 Mercedes AMG GLA35 subcompact SUV, outfitted with an enhanced turbocharged four-cylinder 302 horsepower engine and a race-inspired suspension.

The 2021 Mercedes GLA class are small luxury crossover SUVs named GLA250, GLA250 4MATIC, AMG GLA35, and AMG GLA45.  The AMG GLA35 model starts around $47,550 and squarely puts luxury and sporty performance within the masses’ reach. For about $11,000 less, you can get the base model Mercedes GLA 250 without the AMG badge.

Customized by independent engineers and contractors in Affalterbach, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany, Mercedes’ AMG division adds another level of luxury and engineering to the GLA Class. The 2021 AMG GLA45, priced around $55,550 MSRP, comes with the powerful 382 horsepower AMG handcrafted engine.

Both GLA models come with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine connected to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Mercedes AMG GLA35 includes an enhanced engine, while the GLA45 comes with an AMG handcrafted engine.

The GLA35 is very smooth, powerful, and fun to drive on the straightaway and during cornering. The 4MATIC all-wheel-drive (AWD) system helps maintain a firm grip on the road in any driving mode, including Sports Plus, where the exhaust sound kicks in.

The second-generation GLA35 is a bit shorter, several inches taller, and has more style and performance than the first generation. Buyers get the upgraded version at a reasonable price to attract younger customers to the AMG Class.

Like most Mercedes vehicles, it has a 10.25-inch MBUX touchscreen and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster with high-definition graphics and a user-friendly interface. It can be configured in Classic, Sports, or Supersport modes and controlled by touching or touchpad on the center console.

Mobile connectivity includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, four USB-C ports, and Bluetooth audio streaming. The GLA comes with a trial period of Mercedes Me connect services.

Naturally, the AMG models come with many of the latest safety features, including blind-spot assist, a rearview camera, LED lights, and electronic stability control. The test vehicle came with a digital white metallic paint job and AMG Carbon trim. Options included an AMG performance steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather, 19-inch AMG 10 spoke wheels, panorama sunroof, heated front seats, and more.

The 2020 Mercedes GLB250 Luxury, Versatility, Capacity and Price

When you thought Mercedes-Benz sold every size and type of SUV here in the U.S., along comes the all-new compact GLB-class that squeezes tightly between the GLC-class and the GLA-class

Introduced in 2020, the GLB-class has available third-row and seven-seats, which gives Mercedes eight SUV categories, starting at $36,230 for the smallest GLA class and up to $130,900 for the top-of-line G-Class SUV.

The new GLB is a compact luxury SUV that is reasonably priced and offers the seating compacity and versatility for large families. The optional third-row seating makes it more versatile than the GLA-class and the GLC-class.

The GLB-class competes in the crossover SUV class against Land Rover Discovery Sport, Jaguar F-Pace, Mazda CX-9, and the Volvo XC60. The Land Rover Discovery Sport, which starts around $37,800 MSRP, also offers an optional third-row seat.

The 2020 GLB250 base model starts at $37,595, while the GLB250 4Matic adds all-wheel drive for $39,595 MSRP. A 221 horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine seats under the hood, and an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with either front or all-wheel drive.

The advanced Mercedes transmission includes a choice of automatic or paddle-shifting with four drive modes that include Eco/Comfort for daily driving, Sport for power and performance, Off-Road, and Dynamic Select that adapts the steering, suspension, and drivetrain to suit your preference.

The GLB250 is ideal in dense urban streets and congested freeway traffic. The twin-scroll turbo makes it quick on its feet and highly responsive when passing, taking on sharp curves, or changing lanes.

Interior conveniences include ergonomic front seats in various upholstery options, dash and door trim in natural wood grain, and aluminum accents. The GLB offers the Mercedes available LED ambient lighting in 64-colors and hues to change the vehicle’s atmosphere to soothe your mood.

The GLB also comes with Mercedes dual 7-inch or 10-25-inch high-resolution displays that allow customization of the instruments and multimedia to match your preferences.

Say “Hey, Mercedes,” and the GLB can hear your commands and change the climate, navigation, and other cabin features. Other high-tech features include a mobile application that will lock/unlock doors, check vehicle status, or schedule service. WiFi is available with a monthly subscription.

The GLB also has many smart safety and driver assistance features found in higher priced luxury vehicles.  It can change lanes by tapping the turn signal, hands-free parking, and the adaptive cruise control to steer and maintain a safe distance behind upfront traffic. It even slows the vehicle down on offramps.
