Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 Spy Shots

New 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLA 45  looks small, and it seems like it borrows a lot of cues from the company’s sedans. It is a similar styling as on the A35 model. AMG will introduce new Panamericana grille with vertical slats.

Whatsoever, Mercedes is opting vertically-oriented exterior features this time around. The new model is basically a compact crossover, and it comes with plenty of sportiness. The latest spy shots are showing premium 20-inch wheels and quad exhaust pipes.

Impressive Interior Design

As for the interior, the upcoming 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLA 45  will look almost the same as its A45 hatchback sibling. The German manufacturer will offer a dual-screen infotainment system and plenty of digital dials. The cabin looks unique, and the graphics are truly impressive. The dashboard is extremely modern, and the flat-bottom steering wheel is wrapped in Alcantara leather.

Everything inside looks premium, including the latest contrast stitching and black piano inserts. The comfort is on a high level, and you won’t find many comfortable models. Furthermore, sporty crossover is offering integrated headrests and additional safety aids.

Performance, Transmission, Acceleration

Premium high-performance compact crossover is a thing nowadays. Audi’s RS Q3 model is one fine example with its 2.5-liter turbo-five engine. This unit is capable of producing 395 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque. However, the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 will beat that with ease. This crossover will ride on a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. The same output can be found under the hood of the A45 hatchback and CLA 45 sedan. Now, here is the catch.

Hatchback and sedan models are delivering 382 horses and 354 lb-ft of twists. New AMG GLA 45 crossover will generate an impressive 415 horsepower and 370 lb-ft of torque. An 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is available. Moreover, Mercedes is offering its 4Matic AWD system with AMG Torque control. Finally, compact crossover will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in four seconds.

German manufacturer didn’t say anything about the pricing details or the release date. We can expect new 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLA 45  to arrive at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2020. If not, LA Auto Show this November is the second and less likely outcome.
