A Look at 10 Interior Technologies in the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLA

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLA showcases advanced interior technologies that enhance your driving experience. Each feature combines sophisticated engineering with practical benefits, creating a truly connected and comfortable environment. Here's a detailed look at 10 standout technologies available on the smallest and most affordable Mercedes-Benz SUV.



1- MBUX Infotainment System



The Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) transforms how you interact with your vehicle. This intelligent system learns your preferences and can store settings for up to seven different drivers. The system adapts to your daily routines and becomes more intuitive with each journey, offering personalized comfort and convenience at your fingertips. MBUX is even capable of determining the best driving position for you based on your height and it can adjust the seat and mirrors accordingly.



2- Natural Voice Control with Keyword Activation



Simply say "Hey, Mercedes" to activate the 2025 GLA's sophisticated voice control system. Using natural language processing, you can adjust climate settings, navigate to destinations, or control entertainment features using conversational commands. The system even learns new phrases over time via over the air updates, making interactions more natural and effortless. This helps you keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel at all times.



3- Mercedes me Connect Services



Your GLA stays connected through Mercedes me services, offering remote access via a smartphone app. Start your vehicle remotely on cold winter mornings, lock or unlock doors from anywhere, and send navigation destinations directly to your vehicle. The system also helps schedule maintenance and provides vehicle status updates, making ownership as unobtrusive as possible.



4- Wireless Connectivity Features



Seamless smartphone integration comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Connect your device instantly and access your favourite apps, messages, and navigation tools through the GLA's display screen. The wireless design eliminates cable clutter while maintaining full functionality, allowing you to simply step in the GLA and go, without having to plug your phone in each time.



5- Premium Sound Systems



The available Burmester surround sound system fills the cabin with pristine audio through 12 high-performance speakers and a 710-watt amplifier. Enhanced by Dolby Atmos technology, this system creates an immersive three-dimensional soundstage that brings your music to life with exceptional clarity and depth. The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLA also offers a mid-tier audio system that provides high-quality sound at a lower price point.



6- Ambient Lighting System



Create the perfect atmosphere with 64-colour LED ambient lighting throughout the interior of the 2025 GLA. This sophisticated system includes illuminated air vents that respond to climate adjustments and can display two colours simultaneously. Different lighting programs offer static or flowing colour changes, enhancing your driving environment to suit your mood. In addition to monotone schemes, you can also choose from a selection of dual-tone patterns that combine complimentary colours in a number of ways, such as by having a brighter colour on the floorboards and a more subdued one around your eye level, limiting distractions while still keeping visual interest.



7- THERMOTRONIC Climate Control



The dual-zone automatic climate control system provides personalized comfort for driver and front passenger. With dust and pollen filtration and multiple air vents throughout the cabin, the system maintains ideal temperature and air quality in all seasons, particularly valuable during Quebec's diverse weather conditions.



8- Digital Displays and Head-Up Display



A 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster pairs with a matching central touchscreen, providing clear access to vehicle information and entertainment features right in front of you. The available head-up display projects essential information directly in your line of sight, displaying speed, navigation instructions, and driver assistance features without distracting from the road.



9- Steering Wheel Touch Controls



The multifunction steering wheel features innovative touch-sensitive controls that respond to smartphone-like gestures. Navigate menus, adjust settings, and control your entertainment system with simple thumb movements, maintaining focus on the road while accessing key vehicle functions. This system also allows you to control more features without taking up more space on the steering wheel than physical buttons.



10- Wireless Device Charging



The inductive charging pad with NFC pairing keeps your compatible devices powered without cables. Place your phone in the charging area, and the system automatically begins charging while establishing a secure connection to the vehicle's systems. This seamless integration ensures your devices stay charged and ready throughout your journey. Combined with the wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionalities, this helps make sure you can stay connected at all times when out on the road.
