The Mercedes-Benz GLA-class compact crossover may not go on sale stateside for another year from now, but already Benz has a special edition ready for shoppers. The GLA-class Edition 1 will be available in Europe from the vehicle's launch in March, and will serve as a fine way for the automaker to bump up out-the-door prices on its entry-luxury crossover.
Using the Urban Line exterior trim as a stating point, Mercedes adds what it calls a "simulated underguard," chrome roof rails, and gloss-black-finished 19-inch AMG wheels, grille louvers, and side-mirror housings. The high-style treatments should pair nicely with the four available colors: Cirrus White, Orient Brown, Mountain Gray, and Designo Magno Mountain Gray. (If you like your vehicle's exterior to glow in the dark, we suggest you move along.) Naturally, the Edition 1 GLA-class will be adorned with numerous badges informing passers-by precisely which edition it is.
The interior is available exclusively in Desert Dust, while the seats are exclusive to the special-edition and upholstered in Alvorada fabric and Nut Brown leather. The New Mexico–colored interior is brightened up by a considerable amount of metallic elements. The pedals are brushed stainless steel, the dash trim is aluminum, and the air vents are finished in chrome. Oh, and if that doesn't help lighten the mood, the Edition 1 comes equipped with the Light and Sight package, which adds ambient lighting and illuminates every nook and cranny that could ever conceivably go dark.

Mercedes isn't saying just yet if it will sell the GLA-class Edition 1 in the U.S. Good thing the German marque has a year before it needs to have things sorted out.
