The bumpers appear to be somewhat broader, although this has not been confirmed. Finally, Mercedes-Benz will debut new exterior paints.
Interior Upgrades
The cabin of the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA comes with even more high-tech conveniences than before. Mercedes did not surprise us in this regard, since the German company is renowned for constantly seeking the finest solutions. As a result, the new GLA’s interior is more contemporary.
