Mercedes-Benz launches GLA Night Edition

Mercedes-Benz South Africa introduces the GLA Night Edition, blending bold monochrome styling, AMG design flair and mild-hybrid efficiency.

Mercedes-Benz South Africa has introduced a striking new addition to its compact SUV line-up with the arrival of the GLA Night Edition.

This model blends urban sophistication with rugged elegance. This special edition enhances the versatility of the GLA range while delivering a bold monochromatic aesthetic that sets it apart.

Finished in the exclusive MANUFAKTUR Alpine Grey, the GLA Night Edition is immediately distinguished by its AMG-Line body styling, which emphasises its sporty character through power bulges on the bonnet and a radiator grille adorned with the Mercedes-Benz star pattern.

Unique AMG rims, available only on this model, further reinforce its exclusivity, while the Night Package adds gloss-black accents to the wing mirrors, window surrounds and roof rails. LED headlamps, a sporty rear diffuser and LED taillights complete the exterior’s distinctive look.

Inside, Mercedes has ensured the cabin remains a benchmark in the segment, combining futuristic design with everyday practicality, says Mercedes-Benz. A freestanding dual-screen command centre, featuring a 10.25-inch central display running the latest MBUX software, offers intuitive connectivity through voice or touch control. The cockpit is enhanced by three turbine-look air vents, a compact Nappa leather steering wheel and a redesigned centre console, all contributing to a premium feel.

Under the bonnet, the GLA 200 Night Edition is powered by a 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 120kW and 270Nm of torque. The four-cylinder unit is supported by a 48V mild-hybrid system, ensuring efficiency alongside performance.

Priced from R972 387, the GLA Night Edition delivers exclusivity and refinement to buyers seeking a compact SUV with distinctive styling and advanced technology.

With its combination of bespoke design elements, premium interior features and efficient powertrain, Mercedes-Benz positions the Night Edition as a compelling choice for those wanting individuality within the GLA range.
