Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class 2021 Interior

The two 10.25-inch screens in the cabin which stretch across the dash are also standard equipment and they’re stunning. So is the rest of the cabin and again there were packages which lifted the look even more. The AMG Exclusive package brings in Lugano leather upholstery and the Sports package adds carbon trims, AMG floor mats and the sports steering wheel among other equipment.

Legroom in the second row is good and, at 191cm tall, I can sit behind my driving position with space to spare. (image: Dean McCartney)

The stunning cabin in our test car was also boosted by a number of packages/options, which lift it even higher. Much higher. (image: Dean McCartney)

The GLA 250 adds heated front seats. (image: Dean McCartney)

Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class 2021 Accessories

The GLA 250 4Matic lists for $66,500, which is about $10K more than the base grade GLA 200. That entry grade is pretty well specified and comes standard with a proximity key and auto tailgate, the two large 10.25-inch screens with sat nav, plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, drive modes, 64-colour ambient lighting, digital radio, auto parking, LED headlights with adaptive high beams and 19-inch alloys wheels.

The GLA 250 has all of that but adds a sunroof, heated front seats, remote engine start and mechanical differences such as all-wheel drive, a more powerful engine, sports suspension, and the Off-road Engineering package, which I’ll tell you about in the engine specs section.

Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class 2021 FAQs

Why is my Mercedes stuck in reverse?

You could be looking at anything from a maladjusted or broken selector, to a transmission with low fluid level or even a transmission that has pretty much failed internally. All three possibilities can see a car with reverse and no other gears.

A transmission specialist is your first port of call, once you’ve checked the transmission fluid level yourself, of course. The owner’s manual will tell you how to do this.

2011 Mercedes-Benz C200 has timing-chain stretch

That’s not a huge mileage for an engine like this, and I wouldn’t expect to see timing chain stretch over that distance. However, it begs the question of how the vehicle has been serviced. Timing chains really should last the life of the car (or, at least, the engine) but if the engine hasn’t been treated to the correct oil changes and general maintenance, the timing chain can be one component that will suffer.

If the car was bought second-hand, it would be worth going through the service history to see if any scheduled servicing was skipped. This could be the root cause of the problem. It’s also important not to confuse a stretch timing chain with a worn chain tensioning system. The tensioner holds the chain tight, taking the slack out of it and allowing for some stretch to be taken up over the years of operation. If it fails or becomes weak, you might start to hear the chain rattling.

Did Mercedes-Benz ever recall the 2010 E250CDI convertible for peeling off door accents?

There hasn’t been a move by Mercedes-Benz Australia to fix this problem, which is not to say it hasn’t been noted by owners. But, really, a carmaker will only issue a recall for a fault or problem that represents a safety issue, which peeling door cards does not.

Sometimes, a manufacturer will issue what’s called a technical service bulletin which is like a recall but for non-safety related problems. Again, though, a floppy door card is unlikely to elicit that response. If you still have the trim pieces in question, a motor trimmer should be able to reattach them for you in a way that means they won’t come adrift again.
