The powertrain consists of a 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol four-cylinder engine paired with a plug-in hybrid system – featuring an 11.5kWh lithium-ion battery – with a combined system output of 160kW and 450Nm. The GLA 250 e is capable of a claimed 65km of electric only driving range on the WLTP cycle.
The GLA 250 e rides on 18-inch alloy wheels and sports metallic paint and tinted and heated-insulated glass.
The equipment list on the GLA 250 e includes a panoramic sunroof, keyless-go, ambient lighting, wireless charging, two-zone climate control with rear air vent, heated synthetic leather front seats with memory and a 360-degree parking camera.
