Sidesteps for the Mercedes GLA

Sidesteps Compatible with the Mercedes GLA

At Tuningonline, you’ll find side steps and running boards compatible with various generations of the Mercedes-Benz GLA. The running boards are sold as complete sets for the left and right sides and are available in a variety of materials, colors, and finishes.

Select the correct GLA generation

Always check your car’s model code, version, and model year before ordering:

• Mercedes GLA X156 from 2014 to 2016
• Mercedes GLA X156 facelift from 2017 to 2019
• Mercedes GLA H247 from 2020 to 2023
• Mercedes GLA H247 facelift starting in 2024

Side steps for the X156 are not compatible with the newer H247. There may also be differences between pre-facelift and facelift versions of the same generation. Always check the full product description before ordering.

Complete sets for left and right

The side steps are supplied as a set of two: one for the left side and one for the right side. The product specifications indicate which mounting hardware is included and whether any modifications to the vehicle are required. Professional installation is recommended.

Various designs and finishes

Depending on the model, the side steps are available in aluminum, black, or a combination of aluminum and ABS plastic. Various versions feature non-slip surfaces or rubber studs for extra grip.

Styling and easier entry

Side steps give the Mercedes GLA a wider and more striking SUV appearance. Depending on the product chosen, they can also be used to assist with getting in and out of the vehicle. Always check the specified weight capacity and product specifications.

Do these running boards fit every Mercedes GLA?

No. The correct set depends on the model code, year of manufacture, and trim level of the car. The first-generation GLA has model code X156, while the newer generation has H247. Different side steps may also be required for pre- and post-facelift models.

How do I find the right step boards for my GLA?

First, check whether your Mercedes GLA is an X156 or an H247. Then, compare the model year and trim level with the compatibility information in the product description. If in doubt, please contact us before placing your order.
