Why Lease a Mercedes-Benz GLA?

The GLA gives you a genuine Mercedes-Benz for a compact-SUV monthly payment. You get the three-pointed star, a high-quality cabin with the MBUX infotainment system, a commanding driving position and Mercedes' safety and driver-assistance technology, all in a car small enough to be easy in town but roomy enough for family life.

Its biggest strength is choice. Very few premium SUVs let you pick between efficient petrol, long-range diesel, a plug-in hybrid for low company-car tax, and a fully electric version with over 400 miles of range — all on the same page. That makes it easy to match the GLA to how you actually drive.

Top reasons to lease a GLA

• A true premium badge – Mercedes-Benz quality, cabin and technology in a compact SUV.

• Four powertrains – petrol, diesel, plug-in hybrid or fully electric.

• Low company-car tax options – the 250e plug-in hybrid and the electric 250+/350 sit in low BiK bands.

• Long electric range – the electric GLA offers up to around 406 miles (WLTP).

• AMG performance versions – the GLA 35 for drivers who want genuine pace.

• Fixed monthly cost – road tax included, manufacturer warranty for the typical lease term, and no resale worries at the end.

Which Mercedes-Benz GLA Powertrain Is Right for You?

The GLA in our listing spans four powertrains. Here's how they compare and who each suits.

• Petrol (GLA 180, 200) – 136hp or 163hp 1.3-litre mild-hybrid petrol; up to around 43mpg; 0–62mph in about 10.0 sec (180) or 8.9 sec (200). Best for lower-mileage and town drivers who want simplicity.

• Petrol performance (GLA 35 4Matic) – the AMG hot version, with all-wheel drive and strong performance for drivers who want pace.

• Diesel (GLA 200d, 220d 4Matic) – 150hp or 190hp 2.0-litre diesel; up to around 52mpg (200d); 0–62mph in about 8.8 sec (200d) or 7.5 sec (220d 4Matic). Best for high-mileage and motorway drivers.

• Plug-in hybrid (GLA 250e) – petrol engine plus electric motor with useful electric-only range; low CO2 for a low BiK band. Best for company car drivers who can charge at home.

• Electric (GLA 250+, 350 4Matic) – 268bhp rear-wheel drive or 349bhp all-wheel drive; 85kWh battery; up to around 406 miles (WLTP); 0–62mph in about 7.3 sec (250+) or 5.4 sec (350). Best for the lowest company-car tax and zero-emission running.

Figures are manufacturer WLTP figures. Real-world range and economy vary with conditions and driving style.

Mercedes-Benz GLA Petrol

The petrol GLA 180 and 200 use a 1.3-litre turbo engine with mild-hybrid assistance, producing 136hp and 163hp respectively. They're the most affordable way into a GLA lease and make sense for lower-mileage drivers who mostly stick to towns and shorter trips. The GLA 200 is the pick of the two, with a more relaxed 8.9-second 0–62mph time.

Mercedes-Benz GLA Diesel

If you cover big motorway miles, the diesels are the efficiency champions. The GLA 200d (150hp) officially returns up to around 52mpg and does 0–62mph in about 8.8 seconds, while the GLA 220d 4Matic (190hp) adds all-wheel drive and cuts that to about 7.5 seconds, pulling strongly from low revs.

Mercedes-Benz GLA Plug-in Hybrid (250e)

The GLA 250e pairs a petrol engine with an electric motor for a useful electric-only range, so short daily journeys can be covered on electricity while longer trips fall back on petrol. Its low CO2 puts it in a low Benefit-in-Kind band, making it a smart company car choice for drivers who can charge at home or work.

Mercedes-Benz GLA Electric (250+ and 350 4Matic)

The fully electric GLA is the newest addition. The rear-wheel-drive GLA 250+ produces 268bhp and offers up to around 406 miles of range (WLTP) from its 85kWh battery, with 0–62mph in about 7.3 seconds. The dual-motor GLA 350 4Matic adds all-wheel drive and 349bhp for a 5.4-second 0–62mph time. Both use 800-volt charging technology for very fast DC top-ups. It's the lowest-tax GLA for company car drivers and the choice for zero-emission driving.

Mercedes-Benz GLA Trims Explained

Your listing spans several trim families, from Sport Edition up to AMG Line Premium Plus, plus Sport on the electric models.

Sport Edition

The entry point in our petrol listing, Sport Edition brings the GLA's core equipment — alloy wheels, LED lighting, the MBUX touchscreen with smartphone connectivity, dual-zone climate control and Mercedes' standard driver aids.

Sport / Sport Executive

Sport (on the electric models) and Sport Executive add convenience and comfort equipment over the base car, including upgraded infotainment and comfort features, while keeping the cleaner, non-AMG exterior look.

AMG Line Executive

AMG Line brings the sportier AMG styling inside and out a more aggressive body kit, AMG interior details and larger wheels. The Executive equipment line adds popular comfort and technology options as standard.

AMG Line Premium

Premium builds on AMG Line Executive with more luxury and technology kit, typically including upgraded audio, a panoramic roof and additional comfort features.

AMG Line Premium Plus

The top equipment line adds the most technology and luxury, including the fuller MBUX and driver-assistance packages, premium sound and the highest level of standard comfort features.

Which trim should you lease?

• Lowest monthly cost: Sport Edition or Sport Executive — the cleaner look with the core Mercedes kit.

• Best all-rounder: AMG Line Executive — the sporty AMG styling most GLA buyers want, without the top-trim premium.

• Most luxurious: AMG Line Premium or Premium Plus — for the fullest technology, comfort and audio.

Space, Practicality and Comfort

The GLA offers a higher driving position and more headroom than the A-Class it's based on, with a comfortable, well-finished cabin. Boot space is generous for the class, and on the electric GLA a front boot (frunk) adds extra room for charging cables. The interior is dominated by Mercedes' MBUX system with its crisp digital displays, and higher trims add luxuries such as a panoramic roof, upgraded audio and additional driver-assistance features.

Ride comfort is a GLA strength it's more absorbent over bumps than some sportier rivals — and the electric version is especially smooth and quiet, and settled at higher speeds.

Technology and Safety

Every GLA comes with the MBUX infotainment system, twin digital displays, smartphone connectivity and Mercedes' connected services. Higher AMG Line Premium and Premium Plus trims add larger displays, premium audio and more of Mercedes' driver-assistance technology.

On safety, the GLA carries a comprehensive suite of active safety systems, with active lane-keeping assist and autonomous emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control available through the Driving Assistance package (standard on some higher diesel and AMG Line trims). The GLA has a strong safety reputation backed by Mercedes' engineering.

Personal Leasing a Mercedes-Benz GLA

Personal contract hire (PCH) lets you drive a brand-new GLA for a fixed monthly payment. You pay an initial rental, followed by the monthly rentals for your chosen term, then hand the car back at the end. Choose your annual mileage up front so it matches your driving and you avoid excess-mileage charges. Personal prices on this page include VAT.

Mercedes-Benz GLA Business Lease and Contract Hire

Business contract hire is available to limited companies, sole traders and partnerships. The GLA is a strong company car choice: the electric 250+/350 and the 250e plug-in hybrid sit in low Benefit-in-Kind bands, and VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim up to 50% of the VAT on rentals for a car with private use, and 100% on any maintenance package. Business prices are shown excluding VAT.
