Compare The Mercedes-Benz GLA vs. The Competition

Sizing Up the Competition - See How the Mercedes-Benz GLA Compares to Similar SUVs

Shopping for a new, five-passenger, compact SUV can be a daunting prospect. That's because its seems as if every carmaker in the world has a model that they claim is the best and will be the best one for your family's needs. But at Coppus Motors in Tiffin, we don't just claim it. We prove it. We put our money where are mouths are, with invaluable information on all of our models, to illustrate what makes our world-class models the best choice for any Ohio driver.

Take the latest Mercedes-Benz GLA SUVs, for example. Stunning and refined, this eye-catching model is the smallest SUV in the carmaker's stella lineup. It has two rows, seating for up to five people, and all the sophistication and luxury one would expect from a Mercedes-Benz model. But we also know that it's not the only small SUV competing for the attention of our customers. To help you understand what makes it the better choice for you over the competition, we've done some research, looking at our SUV next to four of its main competitors. Read on to learn more.

Mercedes-Benz GLA vs. BMW X1

Passenger Comfort

Signature to its pedigree as a world-class Mercedes-Benz model, the new Mercedes-Benz GLA is crafted with high-quality materials that are luxurious and soft to the touch. Not only that, but this SUV is also more spacious and comfortable inside than the competing BMW X1. Whether you're sitting in the front seat or the back, you'll have more room to stretch out in than in the X1, as our SUV has more legroom all around.

Customization Options

Mercedes-Benz knows that their drivers like options, and the Mercedes-Benz GLA delivers. Take your pick of trims and powertrains with our SUV. There are three trim levels with three coordinating engines available for Mercedes-Benz customers. Comparatively, the BMW X1 doesn't have a menu of options to consider. There's just one engine for two trim levels on the BMW model.

Mercedes-Benz GLA vs. Lexus UX

Power and Performance

As mentioned, the Mercedes-Benz GLA has three impressive engines to choose from, starting with a turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 221 horsepower, and including two optional upgrades that deliver a maximum of 382 horsepower. This is more power all around than the Lexus UX model, which starts with just 169 horsepower from its base four-cylinder engine.

Backseat Comfort

Whether you're ferrying children, coworkers, or friends around the Sandusky and Lima area, you'll want to make sure everyone is happy and comfortable. Compared to the Lexus UX, the Mercedes-Benz GLA is looking out for the comfort levels of your backseat passengers. You'll find that, not only does our SUV have more backseat headroom than the Lexus model, but it also has around five inches more legroom in the rear as well.

Mercedes-Benz GLA vs. Audi Q3

Cargo Space

When it comes to maximizing your available space for cargo, the Mercedes-Benz GLA has more flexibility and versatility than the Audi Q3. Both offer a decent amount of storage for your cargo behind their second rows of seating, with more space available by folding the backseat. But where the Mercedes-Benz GLA has a maximum capacity of more than 50 cubic feet available, the Audi Q3 comes in at 48 cubic feet max.

Efficiency

Whether it's a short jaunt across town in Fremont, or a long road trip out of state, everyone wants to get the most out of their tank of gas, and the Mercedes-Benz GLA can help. It gets a better fuel economy rating and range than the Audi Q3, and helps you go further between fill ups. For example, the EPA rating for our SUV is 25 mpg in the city, 34 mpg on the highway, and 28 mpg combined. With the Audi Q3, however, the numbers look a little different, with just 23 mpg in the city, 30 mpg on the highway, and 26 mpg overall combined.

Mercedes-Benz GLA vs. Lincoln Corsair

Power Output

Where the Mercedes-Benz GLA tops out at a pulse-quickening 382 horsepower and 354 pound-feet for its top-of-the-line model and powertrain option, the Audi Q3 maximum output is 295 horsepower. Both have multiple engines and trims with a robust power rating, but only Mercedes-Benz can promise the powerhouse craftsmanship of its signature AMG engineering. In a class by themselves, the AMG line promises engaging handing and responsive power every time, and the Mercedes-Benz GLA has two AMG-specific trim options. Lincoln doesn't have anything comparable to the level of world-class engineering that's produced in the AMG collection.

Fuel Economy

Once again, a competing model struggles to offer the level of fuel economy accomplished by the Mercedes-Benz GLA. With our SUV rating for 15 mpg city, 34 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined, it's a better investment for your Findlay commutes than the Audi Q3, which earns a rating of 22 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined.
