Every GLA 250 features a sophisticated 2.0-liter inline-4 turbo engine paired with a 48-volt mild hybrid system. This technology utilizes an integrated starter-generator to recover energy during deceleration and assist the combustion engine during acceleration.
For the driver, this translates to incredibly smooth departures from stoplights and the ability to briefly shut down the engine while coasting. Ultimately, this system reduces your overall fuel consumption during heavy stop-and-go traffic on Interstate 43, saving you both time and money at the pump. You can review and verify these official efficiency figures through the National EPA fuel economy database.
Choosing between front-wheel drive and the fully variable 4MATIC® all-wheel drive system creates a slight variance in your overall gas mileage. The table below outlines the precise EPA estimates.
| Model Configuration | City Fuel Economy | Highway Fuel Economy |
|---|---|---|
| GLA 250 SUV | 26 MPG | 34 MPG |
| GLA 250 4MATIC® SUV | 25 MPG | 33 MPG |
Achieving these optimal mileage numbers year after year requires strict adherence to your routine upkeep schedule. Fresh synthetic motor oil and clean engine air filters ensure the turbocharged engine breathes correctly and operates with minimal friction.
If your current daily driver is experiencing a severe drop in fuel efficiency due to age or mechanical wear, it might be the ideal moment to discover your current trade-in value and upgrade to a highly efficient mild hybrid configuration.
