The GLA has received quite a few upgrades for the 2018 edition, which accounts for its slightly higher price tag. The 2018 GLA comes standard with a rearview camera and an 8-inch display, which were not standard on the previous edition. The 2018 GLA is also available in a new stunning color option called Canyon Beige. This brand new color might be all it takes for you to opt for the newer model. In addition, the 2018 GLA is also available with some new useful technologies including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and LED headlights.

Besides these differences in features, the 2018 GLA 250 also offers some exterior upgrades. The new edition has some subtle differences when it comes to the front and rear bumpers and the wheels. These might be minor differences, but they are worth mentioning to help you make an informed decision.
