Trunk dimensions Mercedes-Benz GLA

The Mercedes Benz GLA 2020 offers a trunk with a volume of 15.4 cu ft, which can be expanded up to 50.5 cu ft when the rear seats are folded down. The rear bench is split 60:40, allowing flexibility when transporting luggage. The interior is designed with high quality, focusing clearly on functionality and comfort.

The trunk dimensions vary slightly within the model range, with the trunk shape supporting practical use. The loading edge is relatively low, making loading and unloading easier. Overall, the GLA provides a balanced combination of style and practicality, suitable for urban drivers and families.

Model Information

The Mercedes Benz GLA is a compact SUV characterized by its sporty appearance and versatile applications. The latest series offers a combination of modern design, advanced technology, and high comfort.

With a variety of engines and equipment variants, the GLA targets a broad audience seeking both city and off-road capability.

Variants of the Same Series

The GLA belongs to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and is designed as an SUV. However, there are other models in the same series, such as the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, available as a sedan or hatchback. These models differ in body style and dimensions, which is important for buyers to make the right choice.

Yearly Differences

The GLA was first introduced in 2014, and since then there have been several model changes. The second generation, launched in 2020, brought significant changes in body dimensions and trunk volume. These adjustments resulted in better space utilization and an overall larger trunk compared to the first generation.

Direct Competitors

In the same price class and size, models like the Audi Q3 and BMW X1 can be found. The Audi Q3 offers a trunk volume of about 18.7 cu ft, while the BMW X1 has around 17.8 cu ft. These differences in trunk volume can be decisive for buyers who place special value on storage space.

More Affordable Alternatives

For buyers looking for similar trunk dimensions but with a smaller budget, models like the Skoda Karoq or Ford Kuga are interesting alternatives.

The Skoda Karoq offers a trunk volume of up to 18.4 cu ft, while the Ford Kuga has about 16.8 cu ft. These models offer good value for money and can meet the needs of families and active users.

Trunk Volume

The Mercedes‑Benz GLA (2020) offers a trunk volume of 13.6 cu ft (manufacturer specification). This is approximately −8.33% smaller than an average car. The trunk accounts for about 5.9% of the total vehicle volume (−0.6 percentage points compared to the average).

With the rear seats folded down, the volume can be expanded up to 48.9 cu ft to the roof (corresponding to ~21.3% of the vehicle volume, −0.5 percentage points).

Practically measured variants: under the trunk cover 10.8 cu ft, without cover up to the roof lining about 15.7 cu ft; alternatively, up to seven beverage crates can fit inside.

Vehicle Size and Parking Friendliness

Dimensions: 173.6 in length, 72 in width, 63.4 in height. Compared to an average car, the GLA is 5.9 in shorter, 0.8 in narrower, and 2 in taller. Compared to a standard parking space, it is significantly more compact (about 23.2 in shorter and 26.4 in narrower).

Implication for everyday use: The more compact exterior length and relatively moderate width make the GLA very parking- and city-friendly; tight parking and turning maneuvers are easier than with larger SUVs.

Trunk Usability and Flexibility

Strengths:

  • EASY PACK tailgate (electric, optional foot sensor on the test vehicle): facilitates loading in everyday use.
  • Large rear opening, with enough space under the open tailgate for persons up to almost 2 m tall.
  • Three-part rear seat bench (in GLA 250 e): flexible loading options, easy unlocking from the rear seats.
  • Practical additions like nets and optional partition net improve organization and securing of smaller cargo.

Limitations:

  • Loading edge 27.6 in above the road and an internal step about 2.4 in high to the non-height-adjustable trunk floor — heavier and bulky items must be lifted.
  • Folding down the rear seatbacks does not create a flat loading floor, which complicates sliding in long, heavy items.
  • The trunk cover cannot be stored under the loading floor.
  • 12‑V socket: sometimes standard or package-dependent (standard in some equipment packages, otherwise extra cost).

Everyday impact: For daily needs (shopping, stroller, weekend luggage for 2–3 people), the volume is sufficient. For larger transports or longer vacations, folding down the rear seats is necessary; due to the non-flat loading floor, loading larger, heavier items is somewhat more cumbersome.

General Model Information

Familiarity: The GLA is Mercedes‑Benz’s compact premium SUV and established in the class of small SUVs/crossovers.

Special features: SUV-typical elevated seating position, compact exterior dimensions, electrified variants (e.g., GLA 250 e with three-part rear bench), and comfort-oriented equipment such as the EASY PACK tailgate.

Characteristics: Compact appearance with a slightly smaller trunk than average, non-flat loading floor after folding, different equipment lines influence practical details (12‑V socket, nets, partition net).

Price-performance assessment: As a premium-class vehicle, the GLA commands a premium compared to mainstream compact SUVs. Compared to competitors, it offers comfort and electronic features, but equipment strongly determines everyday suitability (e.g., loading space package).

Competitor models: Direct competitors include BMW X1, Audi Q3, Volvo XC40 (related compact premium SUVs). These models offer similar strengths (interior comfort, assistance systems) and differ partly in trunk design and price positioning.
