Mercedes-AMG GLA-Class Performance Overview
Mercedes-AMG’s GLA-Class performance profile spans 2018 to 2024 in this test set, covering 5 verified tests across the hot-compact crossover’s two AMG eras. The recorded story begins with the X156 generation, where the 2018 GLA45 4MATIC (Dynamic Plus) established the model’s quickest benchmark at 4.0 seconds to 60 mph and a 12.5-second quarter-mile at 111 mph. That first phase centered on the turbocharged M133 2.0-liter gasoline four, rated here at 375 hp, and in the available data it remains the outright peak for the badge.
The H247 generation, introduced for 2021 and represented here through 2024, shifted to the turbocharged M260 2.0-liter gasoline four with 302 hp in tested GLA35 4MATIC form. Performance eased slightly but stayed within the same general bracket: the 2021 GLA35 4MATIC ran 0-60 in 5.0 seconds, the 2022 GLA35 4MATIC in 4.9 seconds, and the 2024 GLA35 4MATIC (AMG Aerodynamics) posted the current-generation best of 4.7 seconds, while another 2024 GLA35 recorded 5.1 seconds. Across the full sample, the AMG GLA remains a gasoline-only, turbocharged lineup averaging 4.74 seconds to 60 mph and 13.36 seconds in the quarter-mile.
