Used Mercedes-Benz GLA for Sale at Bergey's Auto Group

The Mercedes-Benz GLA brings the prestige and engineering excellence of the three-pointed star to the compact luxury SUV segment. As Mercedes-Benz's entry-level crossover, the GLA delivers genuine luxury in a package sized perfectly for urban environments and daily commuting. With available all-wheel drive, turbocharged performance, and the interior quality that defines Mercedes-Benz, the GLA proves that choosing a smaller SUV doesn't mean compromising on refinement. At Bergey's Auto Group, we carry pre-owned Mercedes-Benz GLA models across our Pennsylvania dealerships, offering quality vehicles backed by five generations of family-owned automotive expertise.

Compact Luxury, Full Mercedes Experience

The GLA represents accessible entry into Mercedes-Benz ownership without diluting the brand's core values. Step inside and you're greeted by premium materials, sophisticated design, and the attention to detail that distinguishes Mercedes-Benz from mainstream alternatives. The cabin feels appropriately special-quality leather, refined switchgear, and ambient lighting create an environment that rewards every drive. Despite its compact exterior dimensions, the GLA provides comfortable accommodations for front passengers and acceptable rear-seat space for the segment. This is a genuine Mercedes-Benz experience scaled to fit modern urban realities.

Right-Sized for Urban Life

The GLA's compact footprint makes it ideal for city dwellers and commuters who navigate tight parking situations daily. The manageable dimensions simplify parking garages and parallel parking without sacrificing the commanding view crossover buyers prefer. Yet despite its city-friendly size, the GLA offers a power liftgate, versatile cargo area, and the capability to handle weekend getaways or trips to the home improvement store. This balance of urban practicality and genuine utility explains the GLA's popularity among buyers who want luxury without excess size.

GLA Generations Explained

Understanding GLA generations helps identify the right balance of features, design philosophy, and value for your priorities. Mercedes-Benz significantly evolved the GLA between generations, with meaningful differences in both styling and capability.

First Generation (2015-2019)

The original GLA launched with a sportier, more hatchback-like character than typical SUVs. Lower roofline and sleeker proportions created a vehicle that felt more like a raised hot hatch than a traditional crossover-an approach that appealed to driving enthusiasts. The GLA 250 featured a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing 208 horsepower, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Both front-wheel and 4MATIC all-wheel drive configurations were available. The high-performance GLA 45 AMG joined the lineup with 375 horsepower (later 381), transforming the compact crossover into a genuine performance machine. Interior quality met Mercedes-Benz standards with premium materials and the COMAND infotainment system of the era. A mid-cycle refresh for 2018 brought updated styling and expanded features. These first-generation models offer the Mercedes-Benz experience at the most accessible used prices, though with more limited interior space than the redesigned second generation.

Second Generation (2021-Present)

The 2021 redesign transformed the GLA into a more conventional SUV with significantly improved interior space. Taller, more upright proportions increased headroom throughout and created a more commanding driving position. The GLA 250 continued with an updated 2.0-liter turbo producing 221 horsepower-a meaningful improvement-paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. The revolutionary MBUX infotainment system replaced COMAND, introducing intuitive touchscreen controls, natural voice recognition ("Hey Mercedes"), and augmented reality navigation. Interior quality reached new heights with available ambient lighting in 64 colors, premium materials throughout, and more spacious accommodations. The Mercedes-AMG GLA 35 joined the lineup with 302 horsepower, while the AMG GLA 45 delivered up to 382 horsepower (or 416 in GLA 45 S specification). These second-generation models represent the current state of GLA development, offering substantially improved space and technology compared to the first generation.

Note on Model Years

Mercedes-Benz did not produce a 2020 GLA as the company transitioned between generations. Used GLA inventory jumps from 2019 first-generation models directly to 2021 second-generation vehicles.

Powertrain Options

The GLA offers multiple powertrains across its generations, from efficient daily drivers to high-performance AMG variants.

GLA 250

The standard GLA 250 provides the core luxury crossover experience. First-generation models deliver 208 horsepower with adequate acceleration for daily driving. Second-generation models increase output to 221 horsepower with improved responsiveness. Both generations pair their turbocharged engines with dual-clutch automatic transmissions that provide quick shifts during spirited driving while maintaining smoothness during normal operation. The GLA 250 delivers a refined, comfortable experience appropriate for luxury buyers who prioritize daily usability over outright performance.

Mercedes-AMG GLA 35

Available on second-generation models, the AMG GLA 35 bridges the gap between luxury and performance. The 2.0-liter turbo produces 302 horsepower with 295 lb-ft of torque, transforming the compact GLA into a genuinely quick crossover. Standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive puts power to the ground effectively. AMG-tuned suspension firms the ride for improved handling without becoming harsh. Sport exhaust, unique styling elements, and AMG-specific interior appointments distinguish the GLA 35 visually and experientially. For buyers wanting meaningful performance enhancement without the extremes of the full AMG 45, the GLA 35 delivers an excellent balance.

Mercedes-AMG GLA 45

The AMG GLA 45 represents the ultimate compact performance crossover. First-generation models produce 375-381 horsepower from their hand-built 2.0-liter turbo engines-remarkable output for a four-cylinder. Second-generation GLA 45 and GLA 45 S models push output to 382 and 416 horsepower respectively, with the most powerful variants accelerating to 60 mph in around 4 seconds. Standard performance all-wheel drive with AMG Torque Control directs power precisely for maximum traction during acceleration. Race-developed suspension, massive brakes, and aggressive aerodynamics transform the compact crossover into a track-capable machine that remains usable daily. These models command premiums in the used market but deliver exotic-car performance in a practical package.

4MATIC All-Wheel Drive

Available across most GLA variants, Mercedes-Benz's 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system provides confident traction when Pennsylvania weather turns challenging. The system distributes power between the front and rear axles as conditions demand, operating automatically without driver intervention. On AMG models, the performance-oriented 4MATIC system includes additional capability for directing torque between individual rear wheels, enhancing both traction and handling dynamics. All-wheel drive adds all-weather capability without significantly compromising fuel efficiency. Front-wheel-drive GLA 250 models offer the best fuel economy for buyers who don't need all-weather capability.

Interior and Technology

Mercedes-Benz interiors set standards for the luxury segment, and the GLA brings this excellence to the compact crossover class.

First Generation Interior

First-generation GLA models feature the COMAND infotainment system with a centrally mounted display controlled via a console-mounted touchpad and scroll wheel. Navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and available premium Harman Kardon or Burmester audio systems provide comprehensive functionality. The sportier cabin design creates a driver-focused environment with quality materials throughout. While the technology reflects its era, these interiors remain functional and appropriately luxurious.

Second Generation MBUX

The second-generation GLA showcases Mercedes-Benz's MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system-a significant advancement in automotive interface design. The standard configuration includes dual 7-inch displays, with available upgrades to dual 10.25-inch screens that create a seamless widescreen presentation. Touchscreen control replaces the previous generation's touchpad, providing more intuitive operation. Natural voice recognition responds to "Hey Mercedes" followed by conversational commands, eliminating complex menu navigation. Available augmented reality navigation overlays turn-by-turn directions onto real-world video displayed on the central screen. This technology gap represents one of the most significant differences between generations.

Available Features

Depending on generation and trim level, available GLA features include leather seating, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting with multiple color options, Burmester premium audio, wireless phone charging, and heads-up display. These amenities transform the compact GLA into a genuinely luxurious environment that belies its entry-level positioning within the Mercedes-Benz lineup.

Safety Technology

Safety features vary between GLA generations, with the redesigned second generation offering significantly more comprehensive driver assistance.

First Generation Safety

First-generation GLA models include standard stability control, antilock brakes, and comprehensive airbag systems. Available driver assistance features expanded throughout production, including ATTENTION ASSIST drowsiness detection, collision prevention assist, blind-spot monitoring, and available active brake assist with autonomous emergency braking. The Driver Assistance Package bundled additional features on equipped vehicles. When shopping first-generation models, verify which safety features are included on your specific vehicle.

Second Generation Safety

The redesigned GLA significantly expanded standard and available safety technology. Active Brake Assist with autonomous emergency braking and pedestrian detection comes standard. Available features include adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, active lane keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and PRE-SAFE® collision preparation. The Driver Assistance Package bundles comprehensive semi-automated driving capability. The second generation's safety technology matches current expectations for luxury vehicles, with significantly more content than first-generation models.
