Also new here are the new front grille on both the GLA200 and GLA250, new front and rear bumpers, and blacked-out sideview mirror caps. Also blacked out are the roof rails, which were finished in brushed aluminium in the pre-facelifted model.

Mated to the brand’s 7G dual-clutch transmission (DCT) power is sent to the front wheels.

The GLB250 gets Mercedes-Benz’s 8G DCT gearbox, sending power to all four wheels via the brand’s 4MATIC all-wheel drive (AWD) system.
