AMG GLA in 2026 — what's new
The H247 facelift generation carries on into 2026 unchanged, with no 2026-specific update announced. Malaysia’s range remains a two-model affair: the AMG GLA35 4Matic uses a 48-volt mild-hybrid petrol setup, while the AMG GLA45S 4Matic+ remains the full petrol flagship. The facelift brought revised styling and equipment for the GLA45S, which has 421 PS and 500 Nm and reaches 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GLA buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The AMG GLA range offers two very different levels of performance in the same compact SUV format. The GLA35 is the less expensive route into the range, while the GLA45S is for buyers placing straight-line pace first. Neither is a budget C-segment SUV: the GLA35 costs more than the Mercedes-Benz EQA and GLB, and the GLA45S sits above the RM474,990 upper end of the stated class price span.
