Mercedes-Benz is gearing up to launch the second generation GLA in India later this year. Now, new details of the India-spec car have emerged.

Mercedes will offer the GLA with petrol and diesel engine options. These include a 1.3-litre turbo-petrol producing 161 BHP / 250 Nm and a 2.0-litre diesel unit equipped with a variable geometry turbocharger, making 187 BHP. The diesel version will get an all-wheel drive option.

There will also be an AMG variant, which is expected to be assembled locally. The GLA 35 AMG will be powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 302 BHP. Unlike the regular petrol version, the AMG will come equipped with an all-wheel drive system. The Mercedes-Benz GLA will compete with the likes of the BMW X1, Mini Countryman and the Volvo XC40 in the Indian market.

The updated GLA gets a revised frount profile that includes a new bumper with skid plate and a redesigned frount grille. It also gets updated LED headlights with a new pattern for the LED DRLs. Around the side, the new GLA now offers 4 additional alloy wheel designs, with sizes ranging from 17-inch. At the rear, the new GLA gets redesigned LED tail lights and a new bumper.

On the inside, the new GLA gets a heated steering wheel. Apart from that, the interior of the new GLA is identical to the outgoing model. The 2023 GLA offers a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 7-inch digital driver display as standard. However, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster is offered as an extra option.
