We haven’t seen the exterior of the Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 bound for the US yet, but the update for the GLA 45 S shown here will likely still apply, albeit not as an extensive facelift. The 45 S receives a new light signature for the headlights and taillights (with LEDs for the entire lighting system), a revised front apron, and wheel arch extensions that are now body-colored, replacing the black items used before. The AMG crest on the hood is another new feature.
New alloy wheel designs ranging in size from 19 to 20 inches are available for the 45 S, with both matte and gloss finishes available. Local GLAs come with 19-inch alloys, but 20s and 21s are available optionally.
The 2024 GLA 45 is still a sporty subcompact SUV that proudly displays its performance, from the AMG-specific Panamericana grille to the quad tailpipes jutting out at the back.
We don’t know what exterior colors for the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 will be available, but the current model sold here has a mostly demure palette of whites, grays, and blacks. Rose Gold Metallic and Manufaktur Patagonia Red Metallic are two of the more flamboyant shades on the menu, and they come at a price that will likely carry over to 2024. Current models have access to exterior options like a panorama roof and various AMG aesthetic packages, which aren’t likely to be done away with for the new model year
