Mercedes-Benz has revealed pics and specs of its facelifted GLA line ahead of its debut tonight at the Detroit Motor Show, including the GLA 250 and the Mercedes-AMG GLA45.

The one we’re most interested in, of course, is the AMG version… but don’t hold your breath waiting for shedloads more power or anything. The fastest baby crossover of them all will simply follow the lead of its less crossover-y sibling, the A45 AMG, and offer up a light exterior do-over, some teeny tiny mechanical tweaks and perhaps some more content when it drops in half way through this year.

The tasty 2.0-litre turbocharged four-potter stays at 280kW and 475Nm for its outputs, though the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox’s first three ratios are shorter and the shift map’s been fiddled with. And, err, that’s about it. Inside, there’s a slight tweak to the instrument gauges, while the leather-wrapped dash is new, too.

This sticker and colour insert pack will be offered across all A-Class AMG variants, and comprises grey and yellow highlights, black and yellow rims and a black grille.

The Yellow Night edition is only available if you tick the box for a Night Black or Cosmos Black paintjob, though. More prices and specs will drop closer to launch half way through 2017.
