Special Features of the Mercedes-Benz GLA200 AMG Premium Plus (FM2021)
Adaptive Highbeam Assist
Enhancing safety and driving experience, this headlamp assist is designed to adapt to any sudden change of light automatically.
An optical sensor is attached behind the windshield near the overhead panel, recognizing the vehicle light coming from the opposite direction.
This sensor signals the adjustment needed from modules – from high beam to low beam or vice versa.
The Highbeam Assist works in various settings depending on the light conditions and distance to other vehicles.
Panoramic Glass Sunroof
A feature exclusive for the Premium Plus package, this panoramic sunroof allows extra light and air to enter the cabin with its massive yet functional glass sunroof.
Besides sliding over, it also includes a tilt position that can be optioned in three stages. The position depends on the vehicle’s speed and can automatically close upon the detection of rain with its rain-sensor system.
Front Memory Seats
These front memory seats come with lumbar support and can electrically be adjusted.
Including various seat adjustment functions and comfort seat modes such as front passenger seat height adjustment, seat cushion angle adjustment for the driver and front passenger seat, and seat backrest inclination.
The lumbar support also comes with four different settings that you can choose from: higher, lower, weaker, or stronger.
Traffic Sign Assist
With a camera deployed just behind the front windscreen, the system can easily identify traffic signs along the road such as speed limits, “no entry,” and “no overtaking” that are already stored in the system and are checked within split seconds.
It can also refer to the data provided by the navigation system. The driver can access this data through the instrument cluster or the map view of the media display.
A high-tech feature that helps drivers to obey traffic rules and reduces accident risks.
Diamond Grille
More improved and sleeker, the new GLA brings a unique appearance on its front end along with a single louvre and the iconic central star.
Integrated with a radiator grille that has a single lamella with chrome dotted diamond grille and inlay.
Adding into that already-distinct front end is the silver/chrome on the lower centre of the front bumper that makes a statement every time you see it.
Active Brake Assist
This innovative system sets as driver assistance by detecting a collision risk, giving a visual warning and auditory warning if the distance to the vehicle upfront is too small.
The system can also autonomously reduce the car speed if there is a failure to react on the notice.

The touchpad is at the top of its technology as it can recognize the scruffiest handwriting and understand phrases to carry out simple instructions.

This sports steering wheel brings style and extra convenience to the driver. It comes in a neat Nappa leather with galvanized gearshift paddles, together with buttons designated for different command functions.
Without taking your hands off the wheels, you can easily and quickly control practically all cockpit features such as audio, Bluetooth®, cruise control, and more.

Each passenger has the luxury of choosing between three heating levels with just a push of a button on the centre console.
USB Ports
With two USB ports incorporated inside the centre armrest, passengers can both have the luxury of charging, accessing media from the device, and connecting with CarPlay, where Navigation can access your Apple maps.
