From Subtle to Savage: Brendan’s GLA45 Gets the Revhigh Treatment

When Brendan brought in his 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG 2.0L Turbo, he wanted sharper response, better power delivery, and an overall more engaging drive. We delivered — and then some.

With a custom dyno tune, transmission tuning, and a performance downpipe, we dialed it up from 218kW to a massive 270kW at the wheels! That’s a serious gain for a turbo-four — and it completely transformed the car. The GLA45 now surges forward with less lag, more torque, and a far smoother power curve.
But Brendan isn’t stopping there. Next visit: a new intake system, upgraded brakes, and a full catback exhaust. The best part? It’s all being done with reliability and drivability in mind.

Why This Matters
Modern performance cars like the GLA45 are often held back by conservative factory tuning — especially in terms of transmission behavior and exhaust flow. Unlocking their true potential safely requires a tuning solution that’s backed by experience and proper diagnostics. That’s where Revhigh shines.
Transmission tuning especially helps eliminate hesitation and lag, making gear shifts crisper and more responsive — something you’ll feel every time you hit the throttle.
