Price slashed by $7000 on entry-level luxury SUV: 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLA 200 now cheaper and available to order online as it gears up to tackle the Audi Q2 and BMW X1

Mercedes-Benz has lowered the entry fee into its GLA small SUV range by $7000 and buyers now won’t even have to set foot in a dealership to buy one.

Mercedes-Benz’s announcement is good news for those looking at the GLA 200 and also keen to save some money. Yesterday, the GLA 200 cost $69,900 but today the little SUV lists for $62,900. Mercedes-Benz says it was the good feedback from its GLA 200 City Edition that inspired the price cut.

The City Edition, which lists for $63,900 is a GLA 200 but with less equipment. Now you can have the GLA 200 with all the features, well most of them, for even less money. Where this leaves the Night Edition is uncertain, but don’t be surprised if it disappears ... into the night.

Mercedes-Benz GLA 200

The GLA 200 retains its 120kW 1.3-litre four cylinder turbo petrol engine and seven-speed automatic transmission, which drives the front wheels.  

There’s even more good news if you happen to be too busy to visit a dealership with Mercedes-Benz making it possible to now order the GLA 200 through its online store for the first month. That is as long as you don’t want any options, in which case you’ll have to pop-in in person.

The GLA 200 is of course the entry grade into the GLA range which steps all the way up to the Mercedes-AMG GLA35 with its 225kW four-cylinder engine and $97,700 price tag.
