What Mercedes-Benz GLA do most buyers choose?

The Mercedes-Benz GLA years with the most listings are 2025, 2026, and 2019.

Higher-volume years tend to attract more shoppers because they usually give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the colour, trim, and price that fit your needs. They also tend to be the years buyers recognise most quickly when they start shopping used.

What is the Mercedes-Benz GLA's resale value?

Most model years are down by double digits year over year, which is good news if you are shopping used and want stronger value than a year ago. The largest drops are concentrated in the newer and mid-cycle years, while the smallest changes are in the oldest examples. That pattern suggests there are still meaningful savings across the lineup, especially if you are open to a slightly older model.

The 2016, 2015, and 2022 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
