CarGurus Analysis: 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA

Summary
With 98 currently listed for sale near Boston, MA and an average price of $17,968, 26.5% of 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLAs for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA 4.43 / 5 stars.
95.9% of 2020 GLA models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA stands out as a small luxury crossover that leans more toward style and performance than outright practicality. It was part of the first-generation GLA lineup, which was low-slung and sleek, and its interior space was competitive with the Audi and the BMW. At the same time, its rakish rear reduced cargo capacity, leaving it with 11.8 cubic feet of space behind the rear seat and 42 cubic feet with the seat folded flat.
What gives the 2020 GLA much of its appeal is the combination of premium features and strong powertrain choices. The GLA 250 used a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 208 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, while the GLA 250 4Matic sent that power to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with shift paddles. The model also benefited from earlier updates that added Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a standard 8-inch infotainment screen and a rear-view camera. Buyers looking for more excitement could also be drawn to the AMG version, which was the high-output, more aggressive member of the lineup.
At the same time, the 2020 GLA’s limitations are part of its character. It was not tested by either NHTSA or the IIHS, and the first-generation model’s small cargo area and family-unfriendly packaging were recurring drawbacks. Still, for shoppers who value a premium interior, distinctive styling, and a compact Mercedes-Benz badge over maximum space, the 2020 GLA offers a compelling mix of luxury and performance.

It’s a pretty car. Drives well, no noise in the outside while driving. It’s very basic for a Mercedes but still very nice. No sun roof. For my budget.

This car is the perfect step into luxury. It’s so sleek, powerful, and also great on gas. It’s pricey, but worth it. It has most everything, I absolutely love the double sunroof with redacting shade. The stereo system is too of the line..AMAZING! I’m still finding cool stuff about mine. (I purchased a 2020 4-matic on Jan 12th 2021. This review definitely helped me decide. ) I would compare it to the BMW X1 and to the Infinity SUV.

The owner feedback points to a vehicle that many drivers find dependable enough to enjoy over time, especially when they value its premium feel and performance.

You should run a vehicle history report on every candidate and prioritize listings with clean records. A pre-purchase inspection is especially worthwhile here, since condition can vary and the model’s compact packaging makes wear-and-tear easier to notice. Focus on signs of prior body damage, interior wear, and whether the car still feels tight and well maintained.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA?
This is a moderate buyer’s market, so you can be selective without expecting deep bargain-bin pricing.
- Deal availability: 33.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 681 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.82% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 69.3% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $18,030, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA's resale value?
The current average of $18,138 sits slightly below last year's $20,113.
That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable entry point. For a future seller, it also means resale value may depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the car stands out against the available inventory. A clean history and strong presentation matter more when the market is already softer.
Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.43/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2020 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2020 if:
- 33.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 69.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.82% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.43/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $22,937, the 2021 costs more than the current year's $18,138 average.
- It brings a full redesign with a more traditional small-SUV shape and a roomier feel.
The bottom line: You should lean toward the 2020 if you want the lower price, stronger deal availability, and a premium compact crossover with good owner satisfaction. If you can stretch your budget and want the redesigned 2021’s fresher packaging, that newer year is the better secondary path for buyers who value a more modern layout over savings.
