After six and a half months since the last Mercedes-Benz GLA family update, the iconic GLA 45 S 4Matic+ has received a makeover. Though subtle, the changes to the 45 S 4Matic+ enhance its already captivating appearance.

Updates begin at the front, where, similar to the standard model, the 2024 GLA 45 S 4Matic+ sports a fresh fascia with a redesigned grille and reshaped air intakes. The LED headlights now showcase new light signatures, and there's an option to upgrade to Multibeam LED headlights.

A noteworthy addition is the extended black cad that matches the body color, complementing the wheel arch extensions. Visually, 20-inch wheels with a five-spoke design and an available 21-inch wheel set stand out. The engine remains untouched: a turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder that belts out 416 HP at 6,750 rpm and 369 lb-ft between 5,000-5,250 rpm under European standards.

The fate of this model in the American market is yet to be confirmed, given its absence of the iconic GLA 45 S features. Performance-wise, it accelerates from 0-62 mph in a mere 4.3 seconds, with the crossover maxing out at 168 mph.

This engine works seamlessly with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, equipped with two multi-plate clutches connected to respective drive shafts on the rear axle, ensuring variable power distribution between the front and rear.
