Attractive SUV luxury and functionality in one vehicle.
Great car, perfect size for me. It does hesitate a bit when accelerating from a stop. Handles beautifully. Great sound system, comfortable and great gas mileage. This is my second mb gla 250 and I would. Highly recommend. Lots of room in the back, even moved large pieces of furniture with this SUV.

Just the best car I ever had. Fits 5 people in it. I just love it!
I love my Mercedes Benz. I got it a year ago and do not regret it. It is the best car I have driven. Really safe and compact. Feels like jeep but it is not. It is big enough which is amazing for families of 5. My car is red color. So, you can see it from a long distance. I used to have ml before but it was just a bit too big for me. So, gla is the best size for me.

It has a lot of room for transporting stuff.
I love my vehicle is zippy it has a panoramic sunroof and the back seats go all the way down for convenience when you are hauling stuff. I love my rims they're super cool. The car is not too low to the ground but not too high like an SUV so it is very comfortable height you do not feel like you are going to roll over if anything should happen. It is a very sturdy driving vehicle.

Perfect for my needs, love it!
I love the size of the car how spacious it is and looks like a small SUV but it's perfect. I do not have any kids yet but I can totally see it being used for family needs. The car is good enough to drive on all weather, with the most up to date entertainment and features. I am in love with my car and happy about my purchase! This was my very first brand new car and I could of not chosen a better option for myself.

Gla 300 is a compact SUV.
This vehicle is a compact SUV. It is good for average sized drivers. Extra large size drivers will feel it too tight. All over inner space is tight. It is good for girls / women. It is safe it looks good. Performance wise it is great. Mileage is great.

My Benz gla250 does the job.
I really do not have any issues with the vehicle. It drives well and does what it is supposed to. It is comfortable and functional and does what it is supposed to do. The apple play function is so convenient and I love that I can play Spotify from my car.

Different driving mode, safe and passionate.
Gla 250 has everything you need from a small SUV, modern, comfy, and stylish. It is very easy to operate, has 4 different drive mode, you can save gas, but also enjoy sports mode. You also feel safe driving it, the blind-spot detect on the side mirror, alarm when you are too close to the car in front you, etc.

The pros and cons of the 2019 gla 250.
I really like the added features such as led head and tail lights and the interior led lighting that changes colors. The heightened safety features are an added plus with the lane assist and break. The interior leather and heated seats are also great. The only problem is gas burns quickly.

Negative Owner Reviews

accountCircle Janelle D
The vehicle is not luxurious at all.
The Mercedes music cord breaks, the radio is always glitching, the seats get stuck from moving forward or backwards, it is not very luxurious for being a Mercedes. The breaks always get stuck and the car sensitivity does not work correctly. I feel Honda has more luxury than this car.
accountCircle Rachel P
Google play one of my favorite features and overall the vehicle is attractive.
Performance is average - mileage is ok- comfortable interiors. Wish the cup holders were in corners rather than center console. Trunk is a decent size. Driver lane assist is not very reliable. The rear view camera is useful. Built in google play is extremely convenient to sync apps like w/ smartphone.

Could not wait for my lease to end!
Vehicle is very reliable and performance is moderate. The ride can feel bumpy on some NYC roads. Very little back seat leg and head room with four adults. Ample trunk space. Compact for city street parking. Sound system adequate. Interior decent. Would not lease again.

It is a super fast car and gas efficient for being a luxury car.
I love my car because it is extremely gas efficient for an AMG and yet German car, which are known for not being gas efficient but this car surprisingly is. I love the truck space. This car is an excellent luxury crossover SUV and fits perfectly for a family of 4.

Is The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class A Good Value?

Around 37,000 dollars. It is a good value for a luxury car, and an all wheel drive. I did a good job negotiating the price.
Enoch Y.
It cost around one thousands dollars or more depending on the extra features you want the value for this car is worth it due to its quality safety features.
Krissy M.
45000 perfect price and it was exactly within my budget. At first when I was told the price I was a bit hesitant but when I saw everything about the car I was ready to pay that money.
