AMG GLA 45 S 4MATIC+
Engine: 2.0L Turbocharged I4
Torque: 500 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~4.3 s

The Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 S is not just a hot crossover — it’s an engineering marvel in compact form. Powered by the hand-built M139 engine delivering 421 hp from just 2.0 liters, this crossover out-accelerates many sports cars, reaching 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds with razor-sharp shifts and a bark from its AMG exhaust.

Unlike standard compact SUVs, the GLA 45 S features adaptive damping, AMG-specific suspension geometry, and the AMG Performance 4MATIC+ AWD system with drift mode, enabling power oversteer through a dual-clutch rear axle setup — something unheard of in this class.

Design cues like the vertical-slat Panamericana grille, quad exhausts, larger intakes, and optional aero package make its performance intentions obvious. Inside, it includes MBUX with AMG Track Pace telemetry, performance seats, and aluminum shift paddles, all wrapped in Alcantara and contrasting stitching.

Even outside the AMG world, models like the GLA 250 e plug-in hybrid offer brisk performance and low emissions, making the GLA range extremely versatile — from eco urban to full sport.

The GLA 45 S earns its place in the performance registry as the most powerful and dynamic compact SUV in the world, proving that extreme performance is no longer exclusive to large vehicles — and that even a family-sized crossover can wear an AMG badge with pride.

Body Styles

The Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class is offered exclusively as a 5-door subcompact crossover SUV with coupe-like influences and a high-riding hatchback silhouette. Though based on the MFA2 front-wheel-drive platform shared with the A-Class and B-Class, the GLA has a taller roofline, raised ground clearance, and SUV-style cladding. The second-generation model (H247), launched in 2020, improved rear-seat headroom and cargo space, while AMG variants received wider tracks, more aggressive bumpers, larger wheels, and enhanced aerodynamics. Despite its compact dimensions, the GLA offers respectable practicality with folding rear seats, up to 1,435 liters of cargo capacity, and an available hands-free liftgate.

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)

“GLA” reflects Mercedes-Benz’s SUV naming structure: “G” for Gelände (off-road), “L” as a linking letter, and “A” denoting its position as the smallest SUV in the lineup. The GLA is the SUV counterpart of the A-Class hatchback and sedan, offering elevated driving height and rugged design while maintaining urban agility. AMG versions of the GLA were developed by Mercedes-AMG as full performance models — not just appearance packages — featuring hand-built engines (in the 45 series), enhanced suspensions, variable torque-split AWD, and track-calibrated software systems. This makes the GLA 45 S one of the most extreme subcompact SUVs ever made.

Body & Interior Colors and Rims

The GLA is offered in a wide palette, including subtle tones like Polar White, Mountain Grey, and Cosmos Black, as well as dynamic finishes such as Denim Blue, Digital White, MANUFAKTUR Patagonia Red, and Mountain Grey Magno (matte). AMG models receive exclusive shades like Sun Yellow and Mountain Grey Magno with gloss black accents.

Inside, the GLA features standard ARTICO synthetic leather or optional leather and MB-Tex in Black, Macchiato Beige, and Neva Grey. AMG versions upgrade to sport seats in Black with red or yellow stitching, optional DINAMICA microfiber, or two-tone leather combinations. Ambient lighting, aluminum trim, and turbine-style vents evoke a high-tech cockpit feel.

Wheel sizes range from 18" on base models to 21" on AMG 45 S variants. Standard GLA wheels are multi-spoke or Y-spoke alloys, while AMG variants offer twin-spoke designs, forged wheels, and matte black or titanium finishes. Red or yellow brake calipers, aero flics, and AMG Night or Aero Packages complete the look.

Top Expensive Options

  • AMG Performance Seats with Integrated Headrests: ~$2,000
  • Burmester Surround Sound System: ~$850
  • Adaptive Damping Suspension: ~$1,200
  • AMG Night Package (Black Trim & Wheels): ~$900
  • 21" Forged AMG Wheels (GLA 45 S): ~$2,000
  • MBUX with Augmented Reality Navigation: ~$1,300
  • Head-Up Display: ~$900
  • AMG Track Pace App Integration: ~$500
  • Panoramic Sliding Sunroof: ~$1,500
  • MANUFAKTUR Matte Paint Finish: ~$2,500

vs Competitors

The GLA competes with the BMW X1/X2, Audi Q3 Sportback, Volvo XC40, and performance trims rival Cupra Formentor VZ5, Volkswagen T-Roc R, and Mini Countryman JCW. In AMG 35 guise, it provides a compelling blend of everyday comfort and athleticism, outperforming most rivals in handling and power. The GLA 45 and especially 45 S versions go far beyond the norm — offering acceleration and grip levels that challenge hot hatches like the Audi RS3 or BMW M135i, while retaining crossover practicality.

Against the BMW X2 M35i, the GLA 45 S offers better interior design, sharper dynamics, and a more advanced AWD system. Compared to the Audi Q3 Sportback, it feels more youthful and agile, though slightly less refined in ride. What sets the GLA apart is its willingness to blend track-day readiness with everyday usability — especially in AMG form.

Fun Fact

The AMG GLA 45 S features the world’s most powerful production four-cylinder engine — the M139 — producing 421 hp from just 2.0 liters. Hand-built by a single AMG technician (“one man, one engine”), this motor delivers a higher specific output (210 hp/L) than most supercars, and catapults the GLA from 0–100 km/h in around 4.3 seconds — making it quicker than many V8-powered crossovers, and nearly matching the original Mercedes-AMG GT.
