The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA is a stylish SUV that is guaranteed to turn heads anywhere you go. The SUV is sporty and features a contoured body with a gorgeous silhouette. The Mercedes-Benz GLA is also highly functional as it comes with generous cabin and luggage space. It also delivers an amazing ride with a cabin that keeps out almost all ambient noise. The 2021 Volvo XC60 is also a superbly engineered and designed car. Being a Volvo, this is a car that is big on functionality thus plenty of luggage space. In this article, we compare the two vehicles and give you our verdict on which is the best.
The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA is designed to combine sporty good looks with refreshing practicality. With acres of space in the cabin and the trunk, the Mercedes-Benz GLA can handle shopping runs as well as school runs with ease. The interior of the car is also well designed with creature comforts filling the cabin. The instrument panel is intuitively designed with everything paced within easy reach. When it comes to the Volvo XC60, you also get a well-designed car that, though functional, is not as attractive as the Mercedes-Benz GLA. This is because Volvo prefers to style their cars conservatively and this often comes off as dated.
For car buyers who love plenty of tech in base models, the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA is a great choice. The GLA features *Bluetooth® connectivity as well as a large infotainment display (10-inch). The infotainment can handle both touch and voice commands which makes it easier to operate while driving the SUV. With the XC60, you also get a host of features including a 9-inch infotainment display. However, unlike the GLA, most of the other tech features come as options.
The Mercedes-Benz GLA is motivated by a 2-liter turbocharged engine which gives the GLA ample power. Out on camping trails, the GLA is nimble and powerful off-road and handles the highways just as well. A finely tuned suspension ensures that all road imperfections are kept away from the cabin. The GLA handles superbly, with acceleration smooth and effortless. With the XC60, you get a similar 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that also has plenty of power. The suspension however is not comparable to that of the Mercedes-Benz GLA but then, this is not a vehicle that is designed for maximum ride quality.
When it comes to these two SUVs, it is clear that the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA is a much better vehicle in almost every way. The GLA has a better design and offers a more sporty performance. The Mercedes-Benz GLA also comes with more standard tech and safety features than the 2021 Volvo XC60.
