View Details
The Mercedes‑Benz AMG GLA 35 is a compact, performance‑oriented SUV that combines AMG‑brand power with everyday usability in a small, urban‑friendly body. It is the sporty “hot hatch rival” version of the GLA, tuned for sharp acceleration and agile handling while keeping a practical five‑seat layout.
Compact AMG‑branded crossover
The GLA 35 is a five‑seat subcompact SUV about 4.4 metres long, with a tall roof and a wide stance. It shares the GLA’s short wheelbase and easy‑to‑park dimensions, so it feels nimble in city traffic. The AMG treatment adds larger air intakes, a more aggressive front bumper, AMG‑style wheels, and sporty badging, giving it a noticeably more aggressive look than the standard GLA.
2.0‑litre turbo four‑cylinder with strong output
The heart of the GLA 35 is a 2.0‑litre (1,991 cc) turbocharged inline‑four AMG engine, rated at around 225–230 kW (302–310 hp) and 400 Nm (about 295 lb‑ft) of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 4MATIC all‑wheel‑drive system and an 8‑speed AMG‑tuned dual‑clutch automatic (DCT), which enables 0–100 km/h in about 5.0–5.2 seconds, with a top speed limited to 250 km/h. Fuel consumption is around 8.5–9.5 L/100 km (about 10–11 km/l) in mixed driving, depending on market and tuning.
Sharp, sporty driving character
The GLA 35 is tuned for a firm, sporty feel: stiffer suspension, quicker steering, and a more aggressive throttle response than the GLA 250. It corners with strong grip and body control, making it fun on twisty roads, yet it is still compact enough to flick through tight city streets. The ride is firm and focused rather than plush, so it will transmit more bumps than a comfort‑tuned SUV, but it remains usable as a daily driver.
Tech‑rich, premium cabin
Inside, the GLA 35 shares the GLA’s high‑quality cabin, with dual high‑resolution screens (digital cluster and central infotainment), AMG‑themed instruments, sports seats, and an AMG steering wheel. The boot is around 435 litres, which is respectable for a compact SUV, and the rear seats are comfortable for adults on short to medium journeys. Safety and tech include adaptive cruise, lane‑keeping, emergency braking, and multiple airbags, with many markets offering a 360‑camera and parking assist.
Ideal for young, performance‑minded buyers
The Mercedes‑Benz GLA 35 suits young professionals, enthusiasts, and luxury‑crossover buyers who want a compact, stylish SUV with genuine AMG performance. It works well as a city runabout, weekend driver, and occasional highway cruiser, giving you strong acceleration, sharp handling, and a premium interior in a small, easy‑to‑park package.
