2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2019 Mazda3 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA vs. 2019 Mazda3 The 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA and the 2019 Mazda 3 are two close competitors known for their long list of features on offer. While CLA offers refined performance, Mazda 3 is equipped with a nice interior. Below is a comparison to highlight the key differences between these models. Design & Style The 2019 Mazda 3 is a compact car with a seating capacity of up to 5 passengers, but the overall interior space is compromised with little legroom and headroom. Taller folks can have a tough time on longer trips. However, the quality of materials used inside is pretty good, and the overall fit and finishing is above average. The 2019 Mercedes Benz-CLA is quite impressive in terms of interior space and support. The cabin comes standard with synthetic leather upholstery and plush seats. The legroom is fine in both the rows, and you cannot complain about the headroom as well. The interior feels classy and stylish, with some exceptional upgrades on offer. Technology & Safety The 2019 Mazda 3 comes with a redesigned infotainment system that has eliminated the touch screen functionality. The base sedan does not provide Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, while other key features such as satellite radio, 12-speaker Bose premium sound system, proximity keyless entry and dual-zone automatic climate control. The hatchback model adds features like blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, driver drowsiness monitoring, adaptive cruise control and automatic high beams. Critics are divided when it comes to discussing the tech features of Mercedez-Benz CLA, but the overall intuitiveness of the system is highly praised. One can easily get comfortable with the controls, within the first use. You have all the basic amenities available, as you would expect from a luxury car. Safety features include a rearview camera, rain-sensing windshield wipers, active brake assist, driver drowsiness monitoring and emergency braking. Performance The 2019 Mazda 3 is powered by 4-cylinder 2.5-liter engine that can ramp up to 186 HP. This car is very light and fails to deliver strong performance. Being paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission, it does help somewhat with fuel efficiency. On another hand, CLA gets a top rating for its engines. The base model offers quick acceleration with a 208-HP rating and is more authoritative than most rivals. It is also better in terms of fuel economy. The Bottom Line The newly launched 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA boasts comfortable interior, spacious seating and exciting performance. Unlike Mazda 3, it doesn’t fall short in terms of tech features, and its infotainment technology is quite convenient to use. If you are a car buyer, this vehicle should be on your radar as the next purchase. Ready to Schedule a 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA Test Drive Today?

2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2019 BMW 4-Series 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs. 2019 BMW 4-Series Thanks to refined performance, lovely interior and plentiful safety features, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a favorite choice for many car buyers. The BMW 4-series is one of its closest competitors, but does it outclass the other in any way? This comparison will tell you. Design & Style The BMW 4 Series convertible and coupe models can seat up to 4 people, while the hatchback can seat up to 5. The front row has plenty of room, but the back seats are disappointing. You will find it difficult to access the second row in coupe or convertible, while the sloping roofline cuts down on headroom. The legroom is limited as well. The interior features a sleek and modern design with good fit and finishing. On the other hand, the spacious Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan can accommodate up to 5 people with the seats providing ample comfort and lateral support. Even the rear-seat occupants can find decent amount of space and comfort at the back. The interior design and quality is pretty good, while the standard leatherette upholstery feels almost like real leather. The sleek, modern cabin is one of the nicest in the class. Technology & Safety Standard tech features in BMW 4-Series include iDrive infotainment system with USB port, Bluetooth®, HD radio, satellite radio and dual-zone automatic climate control. The car’s entertainment and tech offerings are controlled by the physical control knob on the center console. There’s a bit of learning curve with the system, and you have a limited 1-year access with Apple CarPlay. Rearview camera and parking sensors are the only standard safety features in the base model. Mercedes-Benz is never outdated when it comes to in-car technology. Among the new upgrades include the 10.25-inch display, while the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration have been made standard in all the model. There are plenty of driver assistance features available with this model. Extended active brake assist is the newly added feature, which gives warning of impending collisions and applies the brake automatically. All the models come equipped with driver drowsiness monitoring system, rain-sensing windshield wipers and a rearview camera. Performance Speaking of performance, the base BMW 4-series comes with a turbo-four engine that can ramp up to 248 HP. It can get you speeding on the highway, but according to critics, it sounds unrefined and coarse. For a more satisfying experience, look for an option like the 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class which offers a 255-HP 4-cylinder engine coupled to a 9-speed automatic transmission. This is an upgrade from previous version and offers ample power for most driving situations. The Bottom Line The 2019 C-Class strikes a great balance of elegance and performance. It provides plenty of intuitive features along with sizeable passenger space. It is one of the top-rated luxury small cars in this competitive segment.

2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2019 Audi A4 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs. 2019 Audi A4 Who wouldn’t want to own an Audi or a Mercedes-Benz? Such is the global reputation of these two car brands in the automobile industry. In this post, we will compare two great models by these brands, including Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Design & Style The 2019 Audi A4 is a 5-seater model with standard leather upholstery and 8-way power-adjustable heated front seats. The front seats are extremely comfortable, but the back seats are compromised in terms of space. The interior looks clean with soft-touch points, woody accents and top-notch materials, however, for the given price point, it could have been better. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a 5-seater sedan with comfortable seats in both the rows and offering excellent side bolstering and great lateral support. There’s a decent amount of room in the rear seats, unlike other rivals. The interior features a classy cabin with real wood trim pieces adorning the center stack and doors. The leatherette upholstery looks opulent, while you can also switch to optional Nappa leather. Technology & Safety Standard tech features in the 2019 Audi A4 include the MMI infotainment system, *Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Audi’s Virtual Cockpit is the key highlight of this model, while other tech upgrades include 19-speaker premium stereo, a navigation system, satellite radio and HD Radio. The standard system works well, although there’s a bit of learning curve here. Every A4 model comes standard with a rearview camera and Audi Pre Sense Basic including pedestrian detection, forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is packed with the latest technology features, and the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto have been made standard in all the models, and you can use these as an alternative to regular controls. The menus are easy to navigate and you can get well-versed with the system within first use. There are plenty of safety features available with this model and some key highlights include driver drowsiness monitoring, rain-sensing windshield wipers and a rearview camera. Performance Speaking of performance, the 2019 Audi A4 comes with a turbo-four engine mated to a 7-speed auto transmission that can put out 188 HP. These numbers are not enough to impress a spirited driver, and you may want to explore options like the 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class which comes with a superior 255-HP 4-cylinder engine coupled with a 9-spee auto transmission. Not only does it offer stronger performance and smoother acceleration, but also scores high in terms of fuel efficiency. The Bottom Line The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is an amazing vehicle that combines athleticism with design and functionality. It has an extremely intuitive interface and a long list of features offered in the base model itself. In this luxury small car segment, C-Class does well to impress the critics.

2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2019 Honda Civic 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan vs. 2019 Honda Civic Mercedes-Benz and Honda are two of the most renowned car brands in the market known for their extensive list of vehicles on offer. Two of the popular choices include the 2019 Honda Civic and the 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class. Let us compare the key features of these models. Design & Style The 2019 Honda Civic comes in sedan, hatchback and coupe body styles, with all of the seating up to five people. Front seats are supportive and comfortable, however, the same cannot be said about rear seats. Taller passengers may have a tough time taking long trips sitting at the back. The cabin features robust materials, but there are a few cheap surfaces as well. For the 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is a 5-seater sedan with ample side bolstering and lateral support. You can feel the comfort of the seats, while on an extended trip. The overall interior space is much better than most of the vehicles of its class. The cabin is replete with top-notch materials and there are plenty of soft-touch points. The dual-screen setup serves as both infotainment display and instrument cluster. Technology & Safety In terms of technology, the 2019 Honda Civic fails to deliver the sort of high-tech features you would expect from a vehicle of this class. Some key features include a five-inch display screen, USB ports, Bluetooth® and four speakers. Higher trims have a 7-inch infotainment system. For the 2019 model, a traditional volume knob has been included to the dashboard. For safety, the Honda Civic comes standard with lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, road departure mitigation and automatic high beams. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class sedan comes with a brand-new infotainment system that is both practical and user-friendly. With this car, you also get the first touch screen functionality. It has excellent graphics and high responsiveness. Several driver assistance features have been added in the base model that can help in mitigating or preventing crashes, including automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection and forward collision warning. Performance It is important to judge the performance metrics of the car, if you are looking to purchase one. Speaking of which, the 2019 Honda Civic is quite a disappointment. The four-cylinder engine feels underpowered when you are looking to accelerate at top speeds. This is where the 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class outclasses other rivals with its durable power delivery. The Bottom Line If you are a car enthusiast looking for an ideal luxury hauler, the A-Class Sedan is a perfect choice. It certainly has an edge over Honda Civic, in terms of technology, design, performance and safety features. You get smooth handling and excellent driving dynamics, which is lacking in most rivals.

In the automotive world there have been many well-known rivalries between brands. One of which of course, is Mercedes-Benz vs. BMW. Both brands have been pioneers in the luxury vehicle industry for years, especially with their luxury SUV offerings, the BMW X5 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE. These two models have been around for over a decade, and pioneered the luxury SUV segment back when the Mercedes-Benz GLE was formerly known as the Mercedes-Benz ML. With both models being re-done in the past year, Motor Trend decided to take a look at the two rivals side by side and compare the two, and we think this will help our Huntington and Northport drivers that are currently shopping for their next luxury SUV!Mercedes-Benz was among the first to produce a luxury SUV when it introduced the original M-Class for the 1998 model year. Fast-forward to today: Mercedes-Benz has introduced the current GLE-Class that is still a pioneer in technology and luxury, featuring the newest infotainment system, the Mercedes-Benz User Experience also known as MBUX. With MBUX, you can utilize casual voice commands just by saying, "Hey Mercedes!" similar to Amazon Alexa, Apple's Siri, and other smart technology systems. The BMW X5 has been around for nearly as long as the Mercedes-Benz GLE.  BMW's latest iDrive system also has an assistant feature just like MBUX. In Motor Trend's comparison, they compared a 2020 BMW X5 xDrive40i with a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 4MATIC. The 2020 BMW X5 xDrive40i starts at $61,695 and Motor Trend's test vehicle was priced at $73,980, while the 2020 GLE 450 starts at $62,145 and their test vehicle was priced at $84,640. Overall, Motor Trend deemed the BMW X5 earned second place, while the Mercedes-Benz GLE was the champion in this test.The difference in driving was very noticeable to Motor Trend between the two similarly equipped SUVs. Motor Trend stated, "The X5 is sure-footed on the road, but its disconnected nature makes it feel like you're behind the wheel of a robot. "Steering is quick and linear, but it doesn't provide the feel or feedback one would expect from a classic BMW," features editor Christian Seabaugh said. "It's missing that organic sensibility that the Mercedes somehow captures."Meanwhile, the GLE wowed Motor Trend with it's performance and driving abilities. Motor Trend had this to say about the GLE, "On the road, the GLE 450 continues to rise above its rivals. For its size, it handles better than you'd expect, especially when equipped one of the two available air suspension options. It goes down the road in a predictable, controlled manner thanks to its excellent body control, superior chassis calibration, and communicative steering. Mercedes' 3.0-liter turbo I-6, which features a 48-volt mild hybrid system, provides plenty of power and easily moves the GLE 450. With the integrated starter generator assisting the engine, you get smooth power delivery and a wide torque band. The nine-speed automatic transmission shifts quickly and decisively. Even when you suddenly mat the accelerator to pass slow-moving traffic, the gearbox gives you the right gear and puts the engine in its powerband." The voice commands available in the MBUX system were appreciated by Motor Trend testers, as well as the touch screen controls. These two methods of navigating the infotainment system were found to be the most effective and straightforward. While BMW's iDrive system received many updates, they still did not find it to be up to par with Mercedes-Benz. Motor Trend stated, "In typical German fashion, many functions are buried in submenus, and this partially negates the benefits of the responsive touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay, which requires a yearly subscription fee after a year of ownership, didn't work smoothly and kept cutting out. Detroit editor Alisa Priddle complained that instead of embracing connectivity, BMW is fighting it by making it hard to pair your mobile devices with its vehicles." It's important to note that Mercedes-Benz offers Smartphone Integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard in the GLE, and with no yearly subscription fee.In the end, Motor Trend has dubbed Mercedes-Benz the winner of the rivalry between the two luxury SUVs. They state at the end of their article, "The attention to detail is impeccable, and the materials chosen for the interior are appropriately luxurious. As a result, the GLE 450 exudes a truly premium aura. You see and feel where that extra $10,000 you spent went the moment you get in the vehicle. The GLE 450's better-balanced chassis makes it easy to drive, the spacious cabin provides everyday practicality, and the spiffy appointments add a level of panache and sophistication missing in the X5. For those reasons, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE450 takes the win."Now that you've read about the two SUVs and what Motor Trend thinks of them, stop into Mercedes-Benz of Huntington today and see the Mercedes-Benz GLE for yourself!

Mercedes-Benz has always known to provide the best of the best. After all, their mantra is "The Best or Nothing". They have also been a pioneer in safety technology for many years. Therefore, it is not surprise that the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE has earned a TOP SAFETY PICK + award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety! To qualify for a 2019 TOP SAFETY PICK + award, a vehicle must earn good ratings in the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests. It also needs an advanced or superior rating for front crash prevention and a good headlight rating. The redesigned GLE earned good ratings in all six of the crash evaluation, which is the highest safety award a vehicle can earn.This Mercedes-Benz SUV is equipped with a standard front crash prevention system and is also available with an optional system. Both systems also earn credit for their forward collision warning components, which meet the criteria set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.The GLE-Class earns a good headlight rating for its available curve-adaptive LED projector headlights with high-beam assist. High-beam assist is a system that automatically switches between high beams and low beams, depending on the presence of other vehicles. This isn't the first time the GLE has been commended for it's safety. The 2019 GLE was previously announced as a 2019 TOP SAFETY PICK + award winner, along with the E-Class Sedan, the GLC SUV, as well as the C-Class Sedan.

As we are mid-way into October, we thought we'd provide a friendly reminder about October being Fall Car Care Month, as well as the importance of taking care of regular Mercedes-Benz maintenance to keep your vehicle running at it's best. As we go into the fall and ease into colder weather, the fall season is a perfect time to catch up on your vehicle care. There are many things you can do during Fall Car Care Month, as well as beyond the month of October to give your beloved Mercedes-Benz some TLC. Here are some great car care tips from your local Huntington area Mercedes-Benz Service Center near Huntington Station, NY! Check the battery As the weather starts to get cooler, many older batteries tend to start to lose charge. The last thing you would want is to be stuck in the cold with a dead battery after doing some shopping at the Walt Whitman Shops in Huntington Station, or getting ready for your morning commute! That is why Fall Car Care Month is the perfect time to get your battery inspected, and if needed replace the battery for the new season. Check wipers Being able to see is just as important as being seen. With a new season, it is always good to look into whether or not your wiper blades need replacing, especially with all of the rain we have been having lately in the East Northport and Commack area. If you feel like your windshield wipers are streaking, making chattering noise, or if they have visible signs of wear, now is the time to replace the wiper blades. Luckily our Mercedes-Benz Parts Center carries genuine Mercedes-Benz Wiper Blades you can purchase during your next Service A or Service B. Check the fluids Keeping your fluids topped off and full is important during any time of the year, but it’s a great idea to check your vehicle’s fluids during Fall Car Care Month and have whatever fluids are diminished topped off. Also, if you feel that your fluids are constantly running low, it might be a good idea to get the vehicle inspected for any leaks before the winter begins. Drive right into our indoor climate controlled Service Drive and have one of our Service Drive Attendants top off your fluids for you, as well as adjust your tire pressure and have you on your way through the streets of Dix Hills and Greenlawn. Check the heating and defrosting system Unfortunately, summer cannot last forever and soon we will have to start cranking up the heat in both our homes, as well as our vehicles. Therefore, now is a good time to get your heating and defrosting system checked and if needed do any repairs. That way you can stay toasty and warm when the cold weather sets in! Check the tires Going into the new season, it’s important to go in with as much traction as possible! That’s why you should check your tires for any tread loss or wear that could be problematic later on. While the fall has milder weather, you are going to want to put your “best tire forward” for the icy winter season! Shop for tires from the comfort of your own home using our online tire center, to find tires that fit your specific vehicle.   Fall Car Care Month is a great time for motorists in the Huntington and Long Island area to make sure their vehicles are in great condition for the new season. We here at Mercedes-Benz of Huntington understand that, and we are ready to help with whatever fall care or maintenance you desire! Our friendly staff are all ready to provide you with our award-winning customer service, and ensure you and your vehicle are well taken care of. Take advantage of our Fall Car Care Month Service Specials, as well as our Parts Specials while they last! Give us a call at 631-549-2325 or make an appointment online with our Service Department! We look forward to assisting you!

2019 Mercedes-Benz GLS 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLS vs. 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLS is a full-size luxury SUV that offers an ample three rows of seating and enough space to comfortably seat up to seven persons. It is one of the top contenders for the top spot among large luxury SUVs and it is easy to believe that it can take down its rivals, fair and square. Like the new GLS, the 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is also a highly-capable luxury SUV. It boasts of exceptional performance both on and off road. The classic Land Rover Range Rover has a stately, dignified look. The Rover Sport, on the other hand, still looks as subdued but with the addition of daring features. Design & Style It is difficult to imagine a Mercedes-Benz without thinking of the sexy silhouettes that most cars by this brand are gifted with. The GLS is a polar opposite, style-wise, as it is big, bulky, and really muscular. But even with massive size, the brand was able to inject the same level of sophistication, especially in the cabin. The interior is as premium as any Mercedes-Benz. The subtle mix of leather, wood, and metal details contribute to having a lush interior that is very impressive. The Rover Sport is not the biggest SUV from Land Rover. Its size, however, is one of its strengths as it greatly complements the current styling cues. The lower stance added to the sporty vibe that it wants to evoke. It has clean lines and a floating roof that looks intriguing. Technology & Safety The GLS has an infotainment system that runs with the new COMAND® system. There are plenty of optional features to make each ride as fun and as entertaining as it can be. The 7-inch central display is standard but it can be upgraded for an 8-inch touchscreen device. With a car its size, active safety features are a must. The GLS may have a blind-spot monitoring and a lane-keeping assist that are useful along with its automated parallel parking system. The infotainment system of the Rover Sport is sharp and looks futuristic but it does tend to slow down and get a bit complicated. This can be an issue since it can pose a problem when used while on the go. Performance The base engine of the GLS is a turbocharged V6 for up to 362 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. While this power is enough to take the GLS and its haul anywhere, the AMG® GLS 63 has an ultra-powerful V8 engine for a massive 577 hp and 561 lb-ft of torque. The Rover Sport has six trim levels with the base model running on a V6 engine for up to 340 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque. The Bottom Line The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLS is a robust full-size luxury SUV. While the 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is a capable vehicle, the GLS is much better as it has a stronger engine that really took its role as a luxury vehicle with its premium cabin fixtures.

2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2019 Jeep Gladiator 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA vs. 2019 Jeep Gladiator The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA is the brand’s smallest crossover vehicle. This year’s model has received very few updates but there should be major changes in the next version since its brothers, the A-Class and CLA-Class have been revamped. Nonetheless, the GLA is a performance-oriented small car that offers both practicality and style. Jeep is easily the most popular brand when you think about vehicles that can drive on rocky trails but still maintain a stylish aura. The 2019 Jeep Gladiator is an off-road vehicle but can easily blend well around town. Design & Style The GLA-Class is basically a sexy CLA that has a hatchback/wagon body shape. There are only minor design changes for this year, like new colors and a shuffling of the trim packages. It has a rakish nose and wide-set LED taillights. The Gladiator looks very much alike with the Jeep Wrangler. The major difference is the pick-up bed that is attached at the rear. The rugged exterior is almost promising to be adventure-ready at all times. As for its cabin, there are new features such as new rear seats that come in either cloth or leather. Technology & Safety Every trim level of the GLA is fitted with advanced infotainment technology. The Mbrace Connect telematics services are included as a free trial for five years. There are also plenty of add-ons available like the satellite radio, voice-controlled navigation, and the high-end Harman Kardon audio system. Even the tech features of the Gladiator follows the rugged theme. it can be fitted with a forward-facing off-road camera as well as portable wireless speakers. Performance The GLA has a performance-optimized engine that delivers up to 208 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The turbocharged engine provides sharp handling even on elevated grounds. It has nicely-weighted steering that is precise and linear. The steering also feels light and there is only a little tugging when driving. While the GLA has more options for a powerful engine at up to 375 hp, the Gladiator comes in only one engine. It has a V6 3.6-liter engine for 285 hp. More than a powerful engine, the Gladiator can stabilize itself and slow down because of the longer design of its wheelbase. The Bottom Line The 2019 Jeep Gladiator may be known for being a rugged vehicle but it lacks the finesse that the GLA has. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA has a generous set of features and looks premium because of its sleek design. It is a great choice if you are looking for a car that also has off-road specific functions apart from looking good on the road. Ready to Schedule a 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA Test Drive Today?

2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2019 BMW X1 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA vs. 2019 BMW X1 BMW X1 is one of the highest-rated luxury SUVs in the industry, offering well-rounded performance and potent acceleration, but when it comes to competing with the overall specification, Mercedes-Benz GLA may have an edge. Let us do a comparison for better understanding. Design & Style The 2019 BMW X1 is a 5-seater model with supportive and comfortable front seats. The sound insulation is very poor, since the road noise can come into the cabin. The interior gets the attention for its soft-touch dashboard and premium styling, but some reviewers feel it could have been more elegant and classier. There’s nothing much to talk about trunk space. The 2019 GLA is seated five with ample headroom and legroom across both the rows. You get a good driving position and great outside visibility, while the passengers can enjoy a comfortable ride even on long trips. The interior is replete with quality materials and even the plastic surfaces look posh. The strong build quality is quite evident the moment you jump inside. Technology & Safety The 2019 BMW X1 comes standard with an iDrive infotainment system featuring voice control, navigation, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth®, HD radio and 7 speakers. You can use the rotary dial or touch screen to control the system. It also has a touchpad for handwriting recognition. There are plenty of standard safety features including a rearview camera, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, adaptive cruise controls, pedestrian detection, forward collision warning and a rearview camera. The 2019 GLA comes equipped with COMAND® infotainment system, and most of its functionality is controlled by a rotary dial on the center console. You can quickly get used to the system, as the menu layout is pretty straightforward. Other standard features include USB ports, *Bluetooth®, HD radio, push-button start and automatic climate control. Speaking of safety features, you have automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning and a rearview camera. Performance In terms of performance, there’s only one option with the 2019 BMW X1 powered by a 228-HP turbocharged 2-liter engine coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The engine offers plenty of power and acceleration but is only good for daily commutes. If you are a spirited driver, you need to opt for the 2019 Mercedes GLA 250 SUV which offers great acceleration right from the start. The Bottom Line The 2019 GLA should certainly be on your shortlist of luxury subcompact cars. It offers a comfortable ride, tight handling and balanced performance, along with abundant passenger space and high safety ratings. BMW X1 is also a good choice, but the road and wind noise seeping inside the cabin is a real drawback for a luxury car. Ready to Schedule a 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA Test Drive Today?
