2025 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 Technology and Infotainment

No other car company can match Mercedes-Benz’ long history of technological innovation. From performance-oriented inventions like the supercharged engine and 4-wheel independent suspension to safety tech like the ABS and ESP® systems, Mercedes-Benz automobiles have premiered countless features that we now see on every other brand.

Having such a strong reputation for moving the automotive world forward means that a new Mercedes Benz probably has features that will be widely available on every other vehicle in five or ten years. For instance, the 2025 Mercedes Benz GLA 250 emphasizes an enhanced driving experience and features plenty of safety and infotainment technologies. These are some essential ones.

MBUX Infotainment System

With modern cars having so many infotainment functions and features, it can become difficult and unsafe to access them while driving. The Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) multimedia system solves that by providing the driver with multiple ways to control their vehicle. Alongside intuitive touchscreen controls, drivers can also use voice and hand gestures to communicate with their 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250.

The system also uses artificial intelligence to learn and adapt, making it increasingly easier for the driver. From suggesting your favorite radio stations to recommending the quickest route to your workplace, the MBUX system will constantly learn your habits and predict your needs. This means that your Mercedes-Benz will become uniquely yours.

Touchscreen Display

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 comes with a standard 10.25-inch touchscreen display that you can use to access the MBUX system and much more. The high-resolution screen provides a clear view, featuring gorgeous and tasteful graphics on every menu screen. Everything from the navigation system to multimedia and vehicle settings is instantly available due to the intuitive interface.

Smartphone Integration (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto)

Connecting your car to your smartphone can give you access to your apps, contacts, music streaming services, and other useful features. The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 makes this quick and easy due to its wireless smartphone integration feature, through either Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. You can also place your phone on the standard wireless charging pad, so it will also be charging while you have access to its features.
The smartphone integration possibilities on the 2025 GLA 250 don’t end there, though. You also get one year of complimentary Mercedes Me connected services with your new car purchase. This service bundle allows you to control various functions from wherever you are, via a smartphone app. Some of its highlights include:

• Remote engine start: You can use your smartphone to start your GLA 250 from anywhere. This can be particularly useful on extremely hot or cold days, as you can start your engine a few minutes before entering the cabin and let the climate control system either cool it down or heat it.
• Pre-entry climate control: You don’t even have to remember to use your remote engine start feature every day. Simply program your daily departure time into the system and it will automatically get the cabin to your desired temperature before it’s time to go.
• Remote lock or unlock: Can’t remember if you locked your car or want to let someone in to pick something up from the cabin? You can lock and unlock your 2025 Benz GLA 250 by simply tapping a button on your smartphone.
• Vehicle location: If you’ve been driving long enough, odds are that you forgot where you parked your car in a crowded parking lot at least once. The Mercedes Me app can show you its exact location and can even get it to honk the horn and flash its lights to help you locate it quickly.

Advanced Navigation System With Augmented Reality

By now most cars have navigation systems but, as with many other tech features, Mercedes-Benz takes it one step further. The Augmented Reality Navigation feature uses special cameras and sensors to display a view of the road ahead on the vehicle’s touchscreen interface. It then augments your experience by adding useful navigation information, such as traffic info, street names, and road directions.

Driver Assistance and Safety Technology

While infotainment technology makes our trips easier and more fun, it’s the safety tech that helps us get to our destination without any unwanted road situations. Some of the most useful driver assistance and safety technology features available on the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 are:

• Adaptive cruise control: This system makes highway driving a breeze by keeping a constant user-set speed without you having to press the gas pedal. It also adapts the speed to maintain a specific distance between the GLA 250 and the car in front.
• Forward collision mitigation: It uses sensors and cameras to detect imminent frontal collisions and instantly issues a warning. It may also hit the brakes on its own in certain situations, to mitigate or avoid the impact.
• Evasive steering assistance: It enhances the forward collision mitigation system by also steering the GLA to help avoid the collision.
• Blind-spot warning: It warns you if another vehicle is in your blind spot.
• Blind-spot intervention: Besides warning you, it also automatically steers the GLA back into its original lane if you attempt to change lanes while another vehicle is in your blind spot.
• Lane-keeping system: It constantly makes small steering corrections to ensure that the car is centered in its lane at all times.
• Lane-keeping assistance: If the car starts drifting out of its lane with the lane-keeping system turned off, the lane-keeping assistance feature will steer it back into its original lane.
