From March 15, the Mercedes-Benz GLA will be available with a range of original accessories, including practical carrying systems, new light-alloy wheels, communications systems and ingenious accessories.
Highlights include the next-generation version of the drive kit Plus for the iPhone and the new “Aerostyle” roof bars. Just like the A-Class, the GLA can be fitted with the seamless in-vehicle integration of the iPhone. The “drive kit Plus for the iPhone” is now also available as a retrofit solution, currently for 12 model series.
The next generation of this communications solution is now making its debut in the GLA-Class and is now also available for the new iPhone models 5/5S/5C.
As we’re talking about an SUV, the carrying systems will probably be the most requested by customers. The new Aerostyle roof bars provide a multifunctional basis for all Mercedes-Benz carrying and recreational solutions, for example roof boxes, cycle, or combined ski and snowboard racks, and can be quickly fitted to the roof rails without the need for tools.
The GLA includes aluminium roof rails as standard with the Style, Urban and AMG lines as well as in conjunction with the Night package. For those who love taking their bikes on trips, Mercedes-Benz offers the lightweight New Alustyle cycle rack, which can be fitted to the roof bars.
The easy-to-clean boot tub is a practical solution for carrying items inside the vehicle, particularly foodstuffs or liquids. Styling accessories include the illuminated Mercedes star, as well as an extensive selection of light-alloy wheels.
Genuine accessories from AMG include 5-spoke wheels, door sill panels in brushed stainless steel with and without LED illumination, plus AMG body styling components (front and rear aprons and side sill panels).
