Safety Features of the 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLA SUV

ATTENTION ASSIST® to Combat Driver Fatigue

Long drives can sometimes lead to drowsiness, but ATTENTION ASSIST® is engineered to detect early signs of fatigue. This system monitors up to 70 driving behaviors to recognize patterns that suggest reduced alertness. If it senses drowsiness, it issues visual and audible alerts to encourage drivers to take a break. With enhanced sensitivity, ATTENTION ASSIST® can even detect when a driver begins a trip already fatigued, offering timely reminders and useful trip data to keep journeys safe.

LED Daytime Running Lamps for Added Visibility

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLA SUV features bright white LED Daytime Running Lamps as standard. These provide a stylish and modern design accent and enhance road safety by ensuring your vehicle is more visible to others. Their angular shape complements the SUV’s forward-leaning grille, creating a confident appearance while increasing awareness on busy streets and highways.

Crosswind Assist for Confident Highway Driving

Strong gusts of wind can affect vehicle stability, especially on highways. The Crosswind Assist coordinates with the Electronic Stability Program, steering, and suspension sensors to detect sudden side winds. If the system senses instability, it can strategically apply braking to specific wheels, helping the vehicle remain steady and on course. This feature is particularly useful when passing large trucks or driving through areas prone to unpredictable crosswinds.
