奔驰近日发布了2018款GLA改款车趣图。从这张深色图片看，该车采用了新的雾灯和改款格栅，保险杠进行了细微改款，另外预计前大灯照明系统也将进行升级。虽然这张图片只是展示了车辆正面造型，但预计车尾也将进行改款，将配备新的后保险杠和略微不同的尾灯组。同时车身侧面可见新的合金轮圈，而车身涂装也将改变。车厢内预计也将进行一些改款，虽然目前细节不详，但预计将采用最新一代信息娱乐系统，新的内饰和选装件。至于动力系统，美版车型将搭载208马力2.0升涡轮增压，而动力更强的AMG 2.0升引擎功率将提升至375马力。前者搭载在GLA250和GLA250 4Matic全驱版本两种车型上，而动力更强的引擎则搭载在GLA45 AMG版本上，该车还标配全轮驱动。目前还不清楚奔驰是否计划进一步丰富GLA系列的产品线，或者该车仍只提供三款车型。继美版车下周在北美车展亮相后，欧版车将在3月的日内瓦车展亮相。
2018 Mercedes GLA facelift teased ahead of Detroit premiere
Mercedes has released the first teaser image with the mid-cycle refresh for its smallest crossover. The darkened image is actually quite revealing as it gives us the opportunity to have a look at the new fog lights and the modified grille. The bumper has gone through mild cosmetic surgery and we are also expecting a light update for the headlights.
We only have the attached teaser image from now, but chances are the same array of tweaks has been applied at the back where the 2018 GLA likely has a new bumper and slightly different taillight graphics. New alloy wheel designs and body paints should round off the changes on the outside.
ercedes likes to call the GLA’s facelift will also bring some changes inside the cabin, although details are not available at this point. We are expecting to find the latest infotainment system and quite possibly new trims and options to keep things interesting should you be in the market for a premium small crossover.
The U.S.-spec GLA teased here can be had only with either a 208-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter or a stronger 375-hp handcrafted AMG 2.0-liter. The first one powers the GLA250 and its all-wheel-drive GLA250 4Matic counterpart, whereas the beefier unit from Affalterbach is reserved for the range-topping GLA45 available exclusively with AWD.
It remains to be seen whether Mercedes has plans to diversify the GLA lineup in United States or the crossover will solider on in these three flavors. We will know what’s what next Monday when the facelifted version in U.S. specification will bow in Detroit. The European model is probably heading to the Geneva Motor Show scheduled for early March.
