Overview
The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLA GLA200 is a five-seat petrol SUV with front-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox. It's priced from $58,900 RRP, which is the recommended retail price before on-road costs like rego and stamp duty get added. Mercedes-Benz claims fuel use of 6.2L/100km combined, the boot holds 435 litres with the seats up, and it's rated to tow 1,500kg braked. One thing to know is that there's no ANCAP rating on record for this variant. It suits a small family or a couple after a compact SUV that's easy to live with and can still pull a small trailer.

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLA GLA200 is a five-seat petrol SUV with front-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox. It's priced from $58,900 RRP, which is the recommended retail price before on-road costs like rego and stamp duty get added. Mercedes-Benz claims fuel use of 6.2L/100km combined, the boot holds 435 litres with the seats up, and it's rated to tow 1,500kg braked. One thing to know is that there's no ANCAP rating on record for this variant. It suits a small family or a couple after a compact SUV that's easy to live with and can still pull a small trailer.
