2023 Mercedes GLA250 4Matic: Is The New GLA Worth It? 

I have bought a brand new GLA250 facelift 2024 recently, including the plus package and leather seats - I had a similar car before, the BMW X1 xDrive25i. I must confess I am pretty disappointed with the brand (I have never had a Mercedes before). An extremely annoying thing in the car is the pivoted rear camera, very noisy when opening/closing and it opens and closes all the time - it’s like having a wrecking ball loose in the boot/trunk. I could accept (not happily, I must say) the noise when you engage the reverse, but not when you are not trying to park or when you reduce speed on every terminating road or out of the blue, without any apparent reason - it just doesn't make sense and worse, there’s not a software option to set, keeping the camera always open. Also, the internal air conditioning vents are chromed, very bright in my opinion - I can understand the retro design, but the problem is that the right and left grids reflect on the right and left windows exactly over the side-view mirrors outside, being difficult to see properly. Additionally, there are some LEDs inside the vent which at night make things even worse. I hope Mercedes minimizes those problems in the next few months, tweaking the firmware/software and/or doing a recall to replace the camera and changing the vent grids for darker ones, at least the ones close to the doors, or I will seriously think about selling the car. It’s a A$96,000 (USD 64,000) car, for Christ’s sake!

Dude you talk way to fast … just sayin

I love the color of this SUV!! Nice job Ben.

I assume premium fuel but what’s maintenance like how much for normal oil change ect

Love the Mercedes built awesome vehicles

Not everyone wants to see paddle shifters go away. I use engine braking all the time. Though downshifting in the GLA 250 is quite loud.

Dude slow down! Slow dowwwwnnnnn!

Interesting looking at the configuration for this on their website, they don't make you pay for a giant package to get heated and ventilated seats.

No oil dipstick, and no spare tire.

Is the engine longitudinal or east west? Is it an MB engine or a Renault? It would be useful to have more information in the content. Thank you.

It definitely looks like the cheapest Mercedes made. The exterior doesn’t look like it lives up to the European status

I just bought a 2022 GLA 250 yesterday with 27 miles. No sun roof but only 41k with taxes etc

does this car come with wireless charging?

is MB an affordable brand by genz standards xd?

Is this gla 250 a normal 4matic or it's SUV together with 4matic?

this thing has a column shifter like a 70's chevy pickup?

Have MB fixed the cylinder head defects on this model? Read in a few forums that its a common fault.

Watching this while sitting in a black widow truck

How tall are you? Is it low to the ground?

Great stuff. I watched the whole video!

💯🎯✔️

GLA and GLB have the same engine?

Gee whiz...CAN YOU SLOW DOWN ON THE CAR'S DETAILS...Geeeeeee!!!

Very nice👍

Very good

How’s it only 39k

Need navigation

Great review. I am contemplating between a 2023 GLA 250, or a 2022 GLC 350 😊 very good overall presentation btw, thank you 🙏🏼
