The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA offers plenty of things, one of which is a reliable infotainment system without the complicated setup that it used to carry in the past. While it promises athletic handling, it still has a fuel-efficient engine.
In the case of the 2020 BMW X3, there are also more standard features added in its list of offerings. Likewise, it promises a user-friendly infotainment system.
Design & Style
A sporty car with an attitude, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA has a lot of modern components to boast from the inside to the outside. It can seat up to a maximum of five people inside. The spacious front seats complement the needs of taller passengers. Adding up to its spectacular design layout is the inclusion of 14-way adjustable seats for drivers. You will praise it even more for its soft-touch surfaces.
An impressive SUV from BMW, the X3 is indeed a combination of toughness and luxury as well. This car has a spacious cargo, and also offers spacious seas inside, but taller passengers will find the ride less comfortable when compared to the GLA. The interior has some of the best quality materials too but it lacks the elegance that the Audi can offer.
Technology & Safety
The GLA carries the usual COMAND® infotainment system, which is made functional by the partnership of an 8-inch screen with that of the rotary controller found on its center console. All-This easy-to-use interface, also has a strong list of features like an HD Radio, two USB ports, and *Bluetooth®. Standard safety equipment includes the rearview camera, and advanced driver aids like forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, driver drowsiness monitoring, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.
The 2020 BMW X3, on the other hand, has the 8.8-inch touchscreen for its iDrive infotainment interface. This, however, lacks support for Android Auto. While it does integrate Apple CarPlay into the system, this feature is free only for a year from the date of purchase. Safety wise, only pedestrian detection, traffic sign recognition, and forward collision warning can be found in this ride.
Performance
Carrying a four-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine, the GLA generates up to 208 horsepower, which is considered ideal for your daily travel. In the case of the BMW X3, the base engine hits up to 248 horsepower, with other engine versions that can reach up to 503 horsepower. That huge number results in problems with having a smooth ride.
The Bottom Line
A car that promises you have a partner for your daily needs, the GLA surely knows how to make your lives different once you decide to buy it. Imagine the comfort it brings even on tougher terrains, and see how you can boast it to friends and other people. This car truly deserves a spot in your garage.
