After several months of introducing the GLA200 facelift, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) has now also launched the GLA250 4Matic AMG Line. It is a more powerful version with a sportier design.

As usual, compared to the GLA200 which is equipped with a Renault 1.3-liter turbo engine, this GLA250 variant is powered by a Mercedes engine – a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbo with an output of 224PS and 350Nm of torque. This output is transmitted to all wheels through an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox and the 4Matic traction system.

What’s new is that the GLA250 also features a mild-hybrid system consisting of a 48-volt belt starter generator (BSG), contributing to an additional 14PS and 150Nm of power.

As a result, the acceleration performance from 0-100 is 6.8 seconds, one second faster than the GLA200. The maximum speed is 240km/h.

In terms of exterior features, this new Mercedes GLA250 4Matic comes with a sporty AMG bumper, LED High-Performance headlights with new graphics, new taillights, a diffuser, and 19-inch 5-spoke AMG rims. It also includes sport brakes with perforated discs.

Other standard features include roof rails, sports suspension, keyless entry, single-zone air conditioning, 64-color ambient lighting, wireless Qi charging, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a reverse camera, and power-operated tailgate.

The interior features a new steering wheel with touch controls, an updated MBUX system with a 10.25-inch screen, and a 10.25-inch instrument display.

AMG touches on the GLA250 include sports seats, Artico leather upholstery with Microcut, brushed aluminum trim, alloy pedals, black headliner, and illuminated side sills.

Safety features include Autonomous Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Monitoring, Door Opening Warning, and Park Assist.

The Mercedes GLA250 4Matic AMG Line is offered at a price of RM295,888 without insurance. This includes a four-year unlimited mileage warranty.
