The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA is a favorite among car buyers in Huntington. This one is gifted with fun features, all reliable for its users. The spacious interior is elegant as well. A vehicle that is fun to ride, this boasts of a sporty exterior.
In the case of the 2021 BMW X2, it now features the satellite radio as a standard. It promises potent acceleration for its users.
Design & Style
The 2021 GLA is gifted with a big space at the trunk that makes room for 50.5 cubic feet of cargo when the rear seats are not in use. It can seat up to five people in its comfy seating arrangement, without any hassle on the part of the user. There is an abundance of legroom and headroom on both rows of seats. You will find no less than topnotch materials inside.
The 2021 BMW X2 is a coupe-style crossover which can provide room for five people of all ages, shapes and sizes. It is disappointing that this vehicle has tighter headroom and legroom at the rear seats, though, making the area better for small adults or kids if you want to enjoy the promised seating configuration. There may be soft touch surfaces in the ride, but the presence of hard plastics destroys the overall look for the cabin.
Technology & Safety
The GLA carries the Mercedes-Benz User Experience or MBUX infotainment system that replaced its already outdated COMAND® system. This is a user-friendly interface with a reliable seven-inch touch screen, six speakers, HD radio, a touchpad controller, and four USB ports. It also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Driver aids include blind spot monitoring, vehicle exit warning, crosswind assist, automatic emergency braking, driver drowsiness monitoring, and rearview camera.
The 2021 BMW X2, on the other hand, has the iDrive infotainment system paired with an 8.8-inch touch screen. The touchpad or rotary knob can be used to control the interface. The ride does not support smartphone integration for Android Auto, though. Safety wise, it only has a few like speed limit recognition, rain-sensing windshield wipers, front and rear parking sensors, rearview camera, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and automatic high-beam headlights.
Performance
The GLA has the base turbo-four engine which pushes up to 221 horsepower in terms of output. There are also other engine variations that can be maximized to produce 302 horsepower and 382 horsepower. The X2 produces 228 horsepower only. There is an odd noise that it generates when you step on the brakes.
The Bottom Line
This comparison shows how the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA easily makes its way to the top. It is better than the BMW X2 in all aspects, no questions asked.
