2026 Mercedes-Benz GLA Electric AMG Line Executive

Cost

Price On the road, from Mercedes-Benz UK's guide for September 2026 production. Too dear for the Electric Car Grant.

£54,400

Battery

Battery Usable, which is the figure Mercedes quotes.

85 kWh

Battery chemistry Nickel manganese cobalt, usually happier kept below 100% for daily charging.

85 kWh

Range

Range WLTP combined, on the standard wheels. The tow bar or the 400 volt converter takes off up to 8 miles.

381 miles

Efficiency From the 160 Wh/km WLTP combined figure Mercedes quotes.

3.9 mi/kWh

Charging

Max fast charge power At an 800 volt charger. A 400 volt charger needs the £850 DC charging option (83B), and then gives up to 100 kW.

320 kW

Fastest charge time 10 to 80%. The guide heads the row 320 kW and footnotes it 170 kW; the time is the same either way.

22 mins

AC charge power The car comes with a 22 kW cable, but the on-board charger takes 11 kW: 9 hours from 10 to 100% on a three phase wallbox, 13.45 on a 7 kW one.

11 kW

System voltage An 800 volt car can take more power from a rapid charger than a 400 volt one, which is why two cars quoting the same battery size can be twenty minutes apart on a motorway stop.

800 V

Heat pump A multi-source heat pump, standard.

Yes

Autocharge Autocharge is Fastned and Osprey's way of starting a charge without an app or a card: you plug in and the charger recognises the car. This one should work, but neither network has confirmed it yet.
