大约在三年多前上市的奔驰GLA将迎来中期小改款以保持其新鲜度和竞争力。与A级、CLA和CLA Shooting Brake改款车一样，这次GLA的改款也很细微，只是对前后保险杠略微改款。造型略微不同的前大灯和尾灯组变化不大。内装也还是那样，只不过为消费者提供了更多定制化选装件。信息娱乐系统进行了升级，而DYNAMIC SELECT动态操控控制系统也将成为所有车型的标配。而高端版本GLA45搭载的2.0升涡轮增压引擎预计功率将达到280千瓦/375马力，扭矩475牛米，该车将搭配4Matic全轮驱动系统和七速双离合变速箱。车辆0-96公里/小时加速时间仅需4.3秒，经过电子限速后的最高时速为250公里。该车将在本月开幕的北美车展发布，随后将很快上市。

 

Mercedes GLA facelift reveal confirmed for next Monday

On sale for a little over three years, the GLA is about to receive a minor mid-cycle update to remain fresh and competitive in the challenging luxury crossover segment. As it was the case with the A-Class, CLA, and CLA Shooting Brake facelifts, the cosmetic tweaks will be kept down to a minimum as Mercedes’ designers will only fiddle with the bumpers by giving them a light cosmetic surgery. Slightly different graphics for the headlights and taillights are also in tow, but nothing to write home about.

 

It’s the same story with the interior cabin, albeit the company with the three-pointed star logo might decide to spice things up by introducing new trims and colors to give buyers more customization options. An update for the infotainment is also on the to-do list, while the Dynamic Select system with adaptive dampers is believed to become standard across the GLA range, with the exception of the entry-level variant.

 

At the other end of the spectrum, the range-topping GLA 45 is expected to solider on with 375 horsepower (280 kilowatts) and 350 pound-feet (475 Newton-meters) of torque coming from a turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine shared with the other AMG models of the A-Class family. Power will be channeled to the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system through a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox enabling the high-performance crossover to run the 0-60 mph (0-96 kph) sprint in a swift 4.3 seconds en route to an electronically governed 155 mph (250 kph).

 

The Mercedes GLA facelift will be introduced in a week from today in Detroit at the North American International Auto Show. Sales should begin shortly thereafter.
