Mercedes-Benz GLA Mileage
₹51.80 Lakh to ₹55.00 Lakhex-showroom
The diesel GLA is the more efficient of the two, rated at 18.9 kmpl despite carrying 4MATIC all-wheel drive. The 1.3 litre petrol GLA 200 returns 17.4 kmpl on the same ARAI test. The gap is small, so real-world driving style will matter more than the badge on the boot. For the full engine detail behind these numbers, open the GLA specification sheet.

Mileage is how far the GLA travels on one litre of fuel (or one kg of CNG). A bigger number means you spend less on fuel. Carmakers quote an ARAI lab figure; in real driving you get a bit less, so both are shown below.

5 easy ways to get better mileage

- 2Go easy on the pedalSmooth acceleration and braking beat quick starts and hard stops.
- 3Don't carry dead weightAn empty boot and roof help. Extra load means extra fuel.
- 4Use the AC wiselyAt city speeds the AC adds load. On the highway, closed windows help.
- 5Service on timeA clean air filter and fresh oil keep the engine sipping, not gulping.
Mercedes-Benz GLA mileage: common questions
Which GLA is more fuel efficient?
The diesel GLA 220d at 18.9 kmpl edges the petrol GLA 200 at 17.4 kmpl. The diesel manages this while still driving all four wheels.
Does 4MATIC hurt the diesel's economy?
Only a little. Even with all-wheel drive the GLA 220d posts 18.9 kmpl, still ahead of the front-drive petrol on the rated figure.
Will the GLA match its ARAI mileage?
Not exactly. City traffic, air conditioning and a heavier foot all reduce real returns below the 17.4 to 18.9 kmpl rated band.
