Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class keeps an estimated 54% of its recent market value after 5 years — #315 of 530 cars VINdown tracks.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class retains an estimated 54% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #315 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 58% five-year average for SUV in its class by 4 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class sheds about 20% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $38,685 it falls to around $20,773 by year five — a five-year loss near $17,912, about $9.81 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
