Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class X156 (2014-2020) Questions & Answers

We nearly always put it into sports mode. And it goes well. A bit heavy on petrol though.

Thank you. We live in the Qld country and currently drive a C180k which has excellent acceleration when passing trucks etc. I am looking at a GLA but am a bit concerned the 1.6 turbo may be a bit stretched. Perhaps the 200 D or 250 may be better.

The petrol 250 has not missed a beat, loads of power and still pretty fuel efficient. I believe the newest diesel had a recall and is higher on costs for service.

Personally we have not had any real issues with our GLA 250 and we had servicing included in our deal from Mercedes. our vehicle has done roughly 67,000 now and so far very happy and very reliable.

I paid the list price ..just go onto their website.

Hi Kaz,
The price vary based on the service dealership and different states I think. The capped priced service normally are around $350 -$400 first year and then around $800 per year. If it is not capped then the estimate is around $500 - $600 for the first year and about $900 after that. There are addition costs on break fluids etc, like other dealerships.
The above pricing is only an estimate and for a diesel version non AMG.
Hope this helps.

The GLA is like most Mercs, serviced every 12 months or 20,000km which ever comes first. Note that some other brands (including Honda) require servicing every 6 months.
