Mercedes GLA 2027: sharp headlights and a star in each headlight

Published on May 17, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The new 2027 Mercedes GLA updates its front end with slimmer, sharper headlights, incorporating a light signature on the upper edge and a larger grille. Versions with MultiBeam LED lighting add a luminous star inside each headlight. The rear also changes, adopting a design reminiscent of the brand's latest electric models.

MBUX Hyperscreen and Superscreen: the interior digital leap 🚀

Inside, the 2027 GLA bets on the MBUX Hyperscreen system, consisting of two large digital screens. As an option, the MBUX Superscreen is offered, which adds a third screen for the passenger. This technological leap aims to remain competitive against rivals like the BMW X1 or the Audi Q3, focusing the user experience on digital interaction and interface customization.

The star of discord: now also in the headlights ⭐

Mercedes has decided that a star on the hood was not enough. Now, each headlight has its own luminous star, in case anyone forgot what brand the car is when passing by at night. The only risk is that some distracted driver might mistake the GLA for a planetarium. Of course, engineers assure they don't blink in Morse code, although it would be handy to ask for help when parking.
