最近谍照记者拍到了奔驰GLA改款车最新照片。由于这辆车伪装更少，可以看出该车采用了升级前后保险杠，而在以前拍摄的照片则看不到这些。新车的车头还配备了新的LED前大灯，这项配置很可能是选装件。同时前脸底部也进行了改款，侧进气口消失，或者是挪到更靠边位置。而在原来的位置上，奔驰设计师安装了驾驶员辅助系统传感器。后保险杠与排气尾管非常接近，同时也配备了传感器用于监控后方车辆。此外，尾灯组变得更为时尚，但伪装遮盖了主要部分，无法看清全貌。这次未能拍到车辆内装照片，但预计新车内部将采用更好材质并可选装配备更大显示屏的信息娱乐系统。后者将具备类似苹果CarPlay和安卓Auto的智能手机镜像功能。不过，不要期待新车内部结构会有大的变化。新车预计仍将搭载现行版引擎。不过，奔驰会对引擎进行小幅升级提升动力和燃油经济性。而据谍照记者介绍，奔驰的动态选择系统，包括自适应减震都将称为新车标配，但最低版本不会提供这些配置。根据戴姆勒的生产计划，GLA改款车将于明年上半年亮相，预计新车会在明年3月的日内瓦车展亮相，随后将于明年底上市。

Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class facelift spied in light camo
New spy shots are giving us a fresh look at the revised Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class. This example of the compact luxury crossover seems to wear updates to the front and rear bumper that aren’t visible in earlier photos.

Up front, these pictures provide a great look at the GLA’s new LED headlights, which are likely an optional upgrade. There are also big changes to the lower fascia. The side intakes are either absent or more at the corners. In their place, Mercedes’ designers install the sensors for a driver assistance system.

The rear now bumper now fully encloses the exhaust pipes, and there are also more sensors for monitoring what’s happening behind the driver. In addition, the stylists tweak the taillights, but the camouflage hides exactly what’s new.

We don’t have photos of the updated GLA’s interior yet, but we have a good idea of what to expect. Buyers can look forward to new materials and the option of getting a larger infotainment display. Smartphone mirroring capability, like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, should be part of the update, too.

Don’t expect the updated GLA to include big mechanical changes. The current engine range should carry over to the refreshed model. Mercedes might give the engines small power bumps and increase their efficiency, though. According to our spies, the company's Dynamic Select system, including its adaptive dampers, would be a standard feature on all but the lowest trim level GLAs.

Daimler’s product plan tells us that that the GLA facelift debuts in the first half of 2017. So far, this document is quite accurate, which indicates there's good reason to look for the compact crossover around that time. The Geneva Motor Show next March might be the right time for the debut. Sales would then begin before the end of next year.
