High-Performance Air Intake System for Mercedes-Benz GLA (2013–2017) X156 – M270 Turbo Power & Efficiency

Upgrade your GLA's induction system with this precision-engineered Performance Air Intake System. Specifically developed for the turbocharged M270 engine family, this system replaces the restrictive factory air box to provide a high-volume, streamlined path for air to reach the turbocharger. This optimization results in sharper throttle response and an improved acceleration feel, while unlocking a deeper, more aggressive induction sound during operation.

This intake is designed for drivers seeking a functional performance upgrade that maintains the versatile luxury and mechanical reliability of the GLA platform. The system utilizes a high-performance washable filtration media and premium black hardware to ensure the engine receives a consistent supply of cooler, denser air. By reducing intake restriction, this kit allows the turbocharged engine to breathe more freely, delivering noticeable gains in horsepower and torque with a clean, professional aesthetic.
