Tracy H

Efficient and high performing crossover SUV.

I love this Mercedes SUV/car. Not only does it feel solid on the road, but it has zest and is fun to drive. I can turn on a dime in this compact SUV and it fits my needs as a construction car. Besides good gas mileage, low maintenance and reliability.

It needs a little amount fuel.

It is all most perfect.I like it very much.There is no complaints.

Kait R

Sporty crossover SUV with many driver-friendly details.

Many different performance modes to suit every type of driving. Has automatic fuel saving option. Trim is very sporty inside. Many different seat adjustments for most people. Comes with navigation. Is hard to change Bluetooth connected music from steering wheel.

Virginie R

It is a reliable sporty classy mini SUV that has many features such as rear camera, blind spot assist, moonroof, heated seat.

I like that it is a luxury vehicle with moon roof and blind spot assist. I like the shape of it, spacious but not bulky. My only complaint would be that the tire pressure get low pretty fast.

I love the safety features, it makes me feel safe. It is a fun compact car.

The Mercedes gla 250 is a really good car. It has lots of cool safety features that make maneuvering traffic much easier. I like that it has rain detection windshield wipers. The car also has very little body roll. The one thing I would change is when the car is running and the key fob is outside the vehicle you cannot lock the doors, this makes it hard if I have to take my cat to the vet. With my cats in the car I can't make a quick stop at a gas station. I don't like to leave my cats in the car if I can't keep it running and locked.

Kelly W

It is beautiful and a great car for a small sized family.

I like the luxuriousness of the car. I like the technology. It's fun to drive. I do not dislike anything.

Car review for Mercedes Benz.

The seats are pretty comfortable and it is always pretty clean and nice. It is pretty spacious and the air conditioning is good. The seats are really comfortable. The wheel is not bad to drive with and I like the safety features. This brand is one of my favorite brands for cars.

Gla 250 - amazing car- would recommend.

Been leasing this car for about 2 years now and I have had no issues with the car. It is very comfortable to sit in. It is very spacious. It also drives very smooth. I like the size of it too. Does not feel too big. It has great features like the back up camera.

Negative Owner Reviews

Rafael G

It is a smooth and silent drive when not presenting engine kicks.

The car continuously requires maintenance after the 50,000 mile mark. We have had issues with engine, thermostats (twice), batteries and an ongoing kick while driving. The screen is not touch screen because, as we were told by sales rep, Mercedes didn't believe in them. You cannot automatically disengage the idle motor. Lack of plugs for electronics such as USB or power outlet.

Logan D

Gla 2017 class overview/review.

The car itself it great it is just getting into such a nice car from an old car is something new. Heated and cooled seats is something I am new to. The overall buying experience was good too they took good care of me as well as any maintenance that comes into play. Do not hesitate to drive one. If it is your kind of car you will instinctively know it. Haven't been off road but 4matic is great for any situation I can put it through.

Perfect crossover! Small size big in character.

Perfect size vehicle! Very good on gas mileage whether highway or in the city. In love with how smart the car is. Has nice features such as reverse camera and different drive modes. Car is quite comfortable with the utility of an SUV while still being small enough to fit in most spots. No major issues since owning (I service my car on time).

Kasandra S on March 25, 2021

250 gla mercedes benz. The pros are a plus.

It is a little smaller than I expected. The back seating area is not comfortable for adults. It needs more leg room and space. The features are fine in the vehicle. It gets great gas mileage and handles very well on the highway. It handles curves and turns efficiently.
