Used Mercedes-Benz GLA Glove Box

The Mercedes-Benz GLA first generation (X156) ran from 2014 to 2019, with a facelift in 2017, so a 2014 and a 2018 are both X156 but sit either side of that facelift boundary. The facelift brought interior trim updates that may affect the glove box surround, fixings, or finish, so while the opening dimensions are likely similar, you should confirm with the breaker that the part from the donor car matches your exact pre- or post-facelift specification before buying. Never assume a cross-facelift swap will be a perfect fit without checking.

No — the second-generation GLA (X247, launched 2020) is a completely different platform from the first-generation X156 (2014–2019), and the interior architecture, dashboard design, and fitment points are not shared between the two generations. You need a glove box from the same generation as your car. Always give your registration to the breaker so they can pull the right part.

For most interior components like the glove box, the fundamental fitting and shape are determined by generation rather than trim level on the GLA, so a unit from a Sport model will typically mount into an AMG Line car in the same way. However, there can be cosmetic differences — such as stitching, finish, or minor detail changes — between trim levels, so if a matching visual appearance matters to you, ask the breaker to confirm the trim level of the donor vehicle. Fitment is one thing; cosmetic match is another.

Yes, the second-generation Mercedes-Benz GLA (X247, 2020 onwards) is a conventional passenger car and is fitted with a glove box on the passenger side as standard across all variants. When sourcing a used glove box for an X247, give your registration to the breaker to confirm the exact specification, as interior details can vary and the X247 range covers multiple trim levels. There are no drivetrain or engine variants of the GLA that would omit the glove box entirely.

No — the glove box is an interior part and is not affected by whether your GLA has a petrol, diesel, or hybrid engine, or whether it is front-wheel drive or 4MATIC all-wheel drive. Fitment is driven by generation and trim level, not by what is under the bonnet. Focus your search on matching the generation (X156 or X247) and trim to get the right look and fit.

The GLA was sold in the UK as a right-hand-drive car, which means the passenger (NS) glove box is on the left side of the cabin — the same position as in any other UK-spec GLA of the same generation. As long as the donor car is the same generation and is UK or right-hand-drive spec, the glove box position and fixings should correspond. Confirm with the breaker that the donor car is right-hand-drive and matches your generation to avoid any incompatibility.
