For the Audi Q3, buyers are bound to feel relaxed when riding the car that offers a nice balance of both agility and comfort. Read on to find out more about these two highly impeccable cars that are unique in their own ways.

Design & Style

The Mercedes-Benz GLA’s interior is styled in a way that is able to exude a sense of lavishness by utilizing various top-rated materials which are soft and comfortable. Its five seats are just as supple and roomy to support long distances with ease. Overall, the car’s cabin looks chic and stylish for travelers to travel in style without being shortchanged on overall interior comfort.

The Audi Q3 has a tech-savvy and comfortable interior that can support up to five people. Seats are upholstered in leather as standard whereas other surfaces see high-quality materials. Travelers are not to expect much though in terms of support as its seats lack of padding that may feel uncomfortable for longer drives.

Technology & Safety

The Mercedes-Benz GLA comes standard with a series of tech devices which include Android and Apple platform sync, *Bluetooth®, 2 pairs of USB ports, an HD radio, 6 speakers, a touchpad control, and a 7-inch touchscreen. For safety, components such as crosswind assist, vehicle exit warning, blind spot monitor, attentiveness monitor, auto emergency brakes, collision warning, and a rearview camera are offered.

The Audi Q3 offers a list of technological advances that includes wireless Apple and Android platform sync, 10 speakers, an HD radio, 2 pairs of USB ports, Bluetooth®, and an 8.8-inch display. The safety tools of the car include only its brand’s Pre Sense Front and Pre Sense Basic as well as lane departure warning and a rearview camera.

Performance

The Mercedes-Benz GLA is able to deliver 221 horsepower when powered by a turbo four that gets a gas mileage of 25/34 mpg in city/highway.

The Audi Q3 pumps 228 of horsepower through a turbo four that returns only 19/27 mpg of gas mileage for city/highway.

The Bottom Line

The Mercedes-Benz GLA is equipped with a base engine that is adequately punchy whereas its handling is swift and responsive as expected. Interior wise, there is nothing to complain about as the number of luxurious materials seen covering its surfaces is huge. The same applies to its seats which are cushy and well-padded.

The Audi Q3 is not as fuel efficient as the GLA despite being in the same vehicle class. Its transmission is also unrefined which pretty much lacks power which is disappointing for a car with a luxurious status.
