2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA
250 4MATIC
37,626 mi
$24,995
Overview

The Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class, a subcompact luxury crossover, carries over unchanged for 2020. It competes against the likes of the Audi Q3 and BMW X1.
The GLA-Class incorporates two trims, the GLA 250 and the AMG GLA 45. The GLA 250 gets a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder that makes 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque that pairs to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT). Front-wheel drive (FWD) comes standard, while the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive (AWD) system is available. Fuel economy for the base GLA 250 is 24 mpg city, 33 highway, and 27 combined with premium fuel. With 4MATIC AWD, fuel economy drops to 23, 31, 26.
The AMG GLA 45 houses a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder that makes 375 hp and 350 lb-ft. An AMG-tuned transmission and AWD come standard on every version, helping to rocket the crossover to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds. The AMG GLA 45 doesn’t suffer much of a fuel-economy deficit, delivering 22, 28, and 25.
The GLA 250 trim comes with 18-inch wheels, aluminum roof rails, an 8-inch infotainment system, a power liftgate, leatherette upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth connectivity, and keyless start. The AMG Line Exterior Package adds 19-inch AMG wheels, perforated front brakes with painted calipers, and a black headliner. The Premium Package adds keyless access, satellite radio, heated front seats, and a hands-free power liftgate. The Convenience Package tacks on auto-dimming mirrors, a compass, and a garage door opener. Navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, LED exterior lights, and a panoramic sunroof are also available.
Mercedes-Benz gives the AMG GLA 45 the same tech features as the GLA 250 plus a body kit and a lowered stance. Several 19- and 20-inch wheel options are available, along with further enhancements like a black-out package, a two-stage dampening suspension system, a limited-slip front differential, and a large rear wing. Inside, the AMG GLA 45 gets sport seats and red accents on the seatbelts and around the vents. Options include nicer front seats and multi-color ambient lighting.
Across the GLA-Class range, standard safety features include a reversing camera, automatic emergency braking, a driver-alertness monitor, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. The driver-assistance package adds adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. Meanwhile, the Parking Assistance Package bundles a surround-view camera system, a parking assistant, and power-folding side mirrors. Blind-spot monitoring is a standalone option. The GLA-Class hasn't been crash-tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
The Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class is a petite crossover with good bones and plenty of luxury.

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.

That said, used buyers should still focus on maintenance history and condition, because long-term ownership risk is always higher when prior care is unclear.
What should I look for when buying a used 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA?
At 69.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report so you can separate clean examples from cars with prior damage. After that, prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing price looks unusually attractive. Pay close attention to ride quality, interior space, and any missing features or wear that could affect your day-to-day satisfaction.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer's market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile options.
- Deal availability: 27.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 631 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.25% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 69.4% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $18,030.81, 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 $18,594 sits slightly below last year's $20,490.
That price movement suggests the model has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price. If you pay close to the lower end of the range, you may reduce the amount of value left to lose. Strong owner satisfaction can also help keep demand steady when it's time to sell.
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:
- 27.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 69.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.25% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.43/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $22,857, the 2021 costs more than the current year's $18,594 average.
- It was completely redesigned, giving it a more traditional small-SUV shape and a more upscale feel.
The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2020 is the stronger starting point because it offers a lower average price and a softer market. If you're willing to spend more for the redesign and a more modern package, the 2021 is the better alternative. For price-sensitive buyers, the 2020 makes the most sense; for shoppers prioritizing the newer body and updated character, move up a year.
