2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA vs. 2021 BMW X3

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA brings the best of the Mercedes-Benz brand as it combines functionality and luxury. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA comes with a spacious cabin that ensures that even the tallest of passengers have enough legroom on the backseat. The GLA is nimble and delivers an outstanding driving experience. The 2021 BMW X3 is one of BMW’s best crossover SUVs. Retouched for 2021, it features a larger grille and more aggressive lines. Here is a comparison of the two vehicles.

Design & Styles

When it comes to styling, there are few vehicles in this category that can rival the Mercedes-Benz GLA. With flared wheel arches and a sporty stance, the 2021 GLA will turn heads anywhere. The interior is just as good with premium materials all across the cabin. The dashboard is also stylish and knobs are placed exactly where you would expect them to be. This is a car that represents the best features of the Mercedes-Benz brand. When it comes to the 2021 BMW X3, you get a sporty stance with aggressive sweeping lines. The interior is also well done although cabin space is significantly less than most SUVs in this category. The X3 also has a limited luggage space, which further reduces this vehicle’s functionality.

Technology & Safety

The 2020 GLA comes with a bevy of features that will delight any tech fan. Sporting a 10-inch infotainment display as well as a top-notch audio system, the entertainment never stops inside the GLA. Other standard features include *bluetooth connectivity, smartphone integration, and much more. The infotainment system is easy to use and highly responsive. When it comes to the BMW X3, you get a host of tech and safety features as well. These include a Harman & Kardon audio system. Most other features come as options which is a letdown for a vehicle this pricey.

Performance

Under the hood, the Mercedes-Benz GLA is motivated by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that produces 200 horsepower. This keeps the GLA adequately powered and one never feels any lag when accelerating. It also makes the Mercedes-Benz GLA nimble, whether on the highway or offroad. When it comes to the 2021 BMW X3, the SUV is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that offers incredible power although the ride quality is a little wanting.

The Bottom Line

While both the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA and the 2021 BMW X3 are well designed, there are some significant differences between the two. For example, the Mercedes-Benz GLA has more trunk and cabin space. The GLA also offers many more tech features as standard than the BMW. This makes the 2021 GLA a clear winner in this comparison.
