2026 AMG® GLA 35 SUV Tech and Safety Features
The evolution of the compact performance SUV reaches a new milestone with the latest arrival in the German automaker’s lineup. Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale, located in the heart of beautiful Scottsdale, AZ, is proud to showcase a vehicle that proves high-performance engineering and cutting-edge digital intelligence can exist in perfect harmony. While the AMG®-enhanced 2.0L turbo engine provides the thrill that drivers expect, the 2026 AMG® GLA 35 SUV tech suite truly transforms every journey into a personalized experience.
The New Standard of the MBUX Interface
At the center of the cabin, the latest generation of the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) serves as the primary bridge between the driver and the machine. This system utilizes advanced artificial intelligence to learn your preferences over time, from your favorite radio stations to your frequent commuting routes. Furthermore, the dual 10.25-inch high-resolution displays provide a vibrant and customizable interface that allows for effortless control of vehicle settings. Drivers can interact with the system through:
- Voice Control with Natural Language Understanding, activated by saying “Hey, Mercedes.”
- Touch-sensitive controls on the sport steering wheel for distraction-free adjustments.
- The center touchscreen multimedia display with haptic feedback.
- Optional MBUX Interior Assistant, which responds to hand gestures and movements.
Innovation Within Every Detail
Beyond the screens and sensors, the 2026 AMG® GLA 35 SUV tech extends into the very mechanical soul of the vehicle. First, the 48-volt hybrid assist system provides a temporary power boost while optimizing efficiency during city driving. Lastly, the AMG® DYNAMIC SELECT system allows you to modify the vehicle’s character at the touch of a button, adjusting the suspension damping and transmission shifts to suit your mood. Because these systems work in the background, the driver remains free to enjoy the pure spirit of the drive.
