If you were needing the hitch to provide a mounting point for a bike rack, we do have options available for you.
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA is the first year of a new generation, and unfortunately the hitch manufacturers haven't come up with a hitch fit as of yet although I'm told there will be some fits available by mid-spring. Unfortunately, the # C13294 you'd mentioned is a fit for the previous generation GLA class and wouldn't be a fit for your 2020 model.
If you were needing a hitch mounted accessory like a bike rack or a cargo tray, we have roof rack options available that would allow you to carry these items on the vehicle roof. You can assemble a roof rack from the following parts:
Yakima 60 inch JetStream Crossbars, part # Y00425
Roof Rack Feet, part # Y00145
Vehicle Specific Fit Kit, part # Y06016
With the roof rack in place, you could add bike racks like the Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103. The FrontLoader is extremely easy to use, it doesn't require the bikes front wheel to be removed like many other roof bike racks.
If you needed space for extra cargo, a cargo basket like the Yakima # Y07138 OffGrid would offer plenty of room for extra cargo that doesn't fit in the vehicle. A door step like # RL100660 would make accessing items carried on the roof much easier and safer.
I've linked to some product demonstration videos for the parts I've recommended.
