The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA is fun to drive with a thrilling engine lineup to pick from. Its performance is highly steady and smooth which are important for daily rides regardless of distance. Wish to fin out more about the GLA? Check out our comparison article below where we put up the GLA against the 2021 Lexus UX.
Design & Style
The Mercedes-Benz GLA is known for its highly luxurious cabin which delivers an abundance of both comfort and space. Its roomy interior can accommodate up to five people across rows that are just as spacious. Leg- and headroom are not an issue either for adults of any size. For a lavish ride every time, choose the GLA.
The Lexus UX has an interior that offers just average user experience. It can seat up to five people on soft and supportive front row seats with power adjustments. Leg- and headroom are also ample at the front but its back row tells a fully different story. Adults of any size should choose to stay away from its back seat regardless of the distance they wish to travel. Styling wise, the car does not reflect its luxury status as most of the materials used are nothing near opulent.
Technology & Safety
The Mercedes-Benz GLA offers a series of tech-savvy features which include Android and Apple platform sync, *Bluetooth® connectivity, 2 pairs of USB ports, HD radio, 6 speakers, a touchpad control, and a 7-inch touchscreen display. Safety tools are also included in the forms of crosswind assist, vehicle exit warning, blind spot monitor, driver attentiveness monitor, auto emergency brakes, a rearview camera and collision warning.
The Lexus UX is equipped with several technological devices such as WiFi hot spot, 6 speakers, satellite radio, USB ports, Bluetooth®, Alexa, Android, Apple, and a 7-inch digital cluster. For safety, the car is covered by devices like auto high beams, sign recognition, lane keep and departure assists, cruise control, auto emergency brakes, cyclist and pedestrian detection, collision warning, rear traffic alert, and blind spot monitor.

The Mercedes-Benz GLA can produce an outstanding power of 221 horsepower when it is running on its base turbo four engine. Its fuel economy is rated at 25 mpg and 34 mpg while in city and on highway.
The Lexus UX is an urban explorer that makes 169 horsepower when powered by an engine with 4 cylinders. Its gas mileage can fetch up to 29 mpg and 37 mpg while in cities and on highways.
