NEW Mercedes GLA FIRST LOOK – Why Merc Has KILLED The EQA!
In our new Mercedes GLA first look, we explore why Mercedes-Benz has killed off the EQA in favour of an all-new, tech-packed electric SUV!
Built first and foremost as an electric car, the new GLA promises a massive official range of up to 408 miles, ultra-fast 320kW charging (which can officially add up to 160 miles in just 10 minutes), and an impressive MBUX Superscreen.
Expected to start at around £45,000, is this new Merc EV likely to beat rivals including the Audi Q4 e-tron, BMW iX1 and Volvo EX40? Watch to find out!

In this video, we reveal everything you need to know about the 2027 Mercedes GLA Electric. We explore its new exterior dimensions – it’s lower and wider, and features a 61mm longer wheelbase for extra rear seat space.
We also take a closer look at the striking new front grille packed with 600 animated LEDs, the multi-beam headlights with star-shaped daytime running lights, and the restyled rear end complete with a lightbar.
The new GLA range will kick off with the GLA 200, moving up to the longer-range GLA 250+ and topping out with the dual-motor all-wheel-drive GLA 350 4MATIC. We also explain why the new GLA will eventually be offered with a 1.5-litre 48V mild-hybrid petrol engine, too.
Inside, we experience the GLA's tech-focused interior featuring an infotainment screen for the front passenger. Finally, we put the GLA's practicality to the test by checking out rear legroom, the 410-litre main boot and the huge 107-litre front boot ("aka" frunk) under the bonnet.
