Full specifications
The figures below describe the GLA 200 Progressive. Other derivatives in this range differ.
| Engine capacity | 1.3Â Lnote1,332 cc turbocharged four-cylinder with 48V assistance. |
| Cylinders | 4noteFour cylinders. |
| Power | 120Â kWnotePlus up to 10 kW short-term mild-hybrid boost. |
| Torque | 270Â Nmnote270 Nm from 2,000 rpm for the mild-hybrid version; one local listing quotes 250 Nm, the figure for the version without 48V assistance. |
| Transmission | 7-speed dual-clutch (7G-DCT)noteSeven-speed dual-clutch automatic. |
| Gears | 7noteSeven forward ratios. |
| Drivetrain | FWDnoteReported figure for the South African car; not published by the manufacturer in the sources checked. |
| Consumption cycle | Combined cycle (test standard not stated by manufacturer)noteThe local figure's test cycle is not stated. |
| Fuel consumption | 6Â L/100kmnoteLocal listing figure; European testing of the same engine returns 6.5 l/100 km on the WLTP cycle. |
| Fuel tank | 43Â Lnote43-litre tank. |
| Fuel grade | 95 unleadednoteEuropean data for this engine specify 95-octane premium unleaded; no manufacturer document was reachable. |
| Range | 716Â kmnoteWorked out from the tank size and the claimed consumption, rounded down. |
| 0-100 km/h | 8.9Â snote8.9 seconds to 100 km/h. |
| CO2 emissions | 147Â g/kmnoteEuropean WLTP figure for this engine; no local figure published. |
| Seats | 5noteFive seats. |
| Doors | 5noteFive doors. |
| Length | 4Â 412Â mmnote4,412 mm long. |
| Width | 1Â 834Â mmnote1,834 mm wide (excluding mirrors). |
| Height | 1Â 616Â mmnote1,616 mm tall. |
| Wheelbase | 2Â 729Â mmnote2,729 mm wheelbase. |

| Boot (seats folded) | 1Â 420Â Lnote1,420 litres with the rear seats folded. |
| Kerb weight | 1Â 570Â kgnoteThe held figure stands, and the apparent conflict resolves cleanly: 1 570 kg is the kerb weight measured with a 75 kg driver aboard, while the competing 1 495 kg is the same car weighed without one. The two differ by exactly that driver allowance, so both describe this derivative on different conventions. |
| Gross vehicle mass | 2Â 070Â kgnote2,070 kg gross vehicle mass. |
| Payload | 575Â kgnoteWorked out from the gross vehicle mass of 2 070 kg less the kerb weight of 1 495 kg measured without a driver aboard, which leaves 575 kg for occupants and luggage. Both figures come from the same specification, so they are on a single consistent basis. |
| Towing (braked) | 1Â 800Â kgnote1,800 kg braked. |
| Towing (unbraked) | 750Â kgnote750 kg unbraked. |
