Self-assured and dynamic: the exterior design with AMG bodystyling
The front section flows over the A-pillar into the visually compact greenhouse. The side and rear views are characterized by the muscular shoulders of the vehicle. The doors reach over the sills, thereby on the one hand improving ease of access, while at the same time keeping the door frames (and thus also the occupants鈥� trousers) free of dirt and improving impact protection in the event of a side collision. All-round protective cladding adds structure to the overall proportions and emphasizes the vehicle鈥檚 off-road character, as does the simulated underride guard at the front and rear. Moreover, the 19-inch AMG 5-twin-spoke light-alloy-wheels, AMG bodystyling exterior including front and rear bumper, front grille with diamond pattern, adds more dynamism to the overall impression of the GLA.
Neat and clean: the new car wash function
As the first model in its class to do so, the GLA features a car wash function, a familiar feature from its big brother, the GLS. With just one command, the exterior mirrors are folded in and the side windows and sliding roof closed. The information from the rain sensor is supressed so that the windscreen wipers remain switched off in the car wash. The climate control switches to air-recirculation mode and, after a few seconds, the car wash function assists the driver when driving into the car wash. These settings are automatically deactivated when the driver drives out of the car wash and accelerates to a speed above 20 km/h.
