Offering car buyers out there with two rows of spacious seats, and an ever-dependable intuitive infotainment system even for its base configuration, you know you will win more if you consider buying the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA. The ride also offers potent engines that you can count on.
Expect a long list of standard features in the 2022 Lexus UX too. The ride rates high in terms of fuel economy, an aspect it shares with the GLA. There are only slight changes when compared to its predecessor.
Design & Style
With a cabin filled with high-quality materials, it is easy to tag the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA as a luxury vehicle. The ride has a wide storage area that expands to 50.5 cubic feet when the second-row sears are not in use and folded. It is easy to put in your heavy items inside too. Sitting five people, expect comfort in both rows. There is sufficient outward visibility too.
There are also quality materials inside the Lexus UX but it opted for synthetic leather instead of genuine leather for upholstery. Trunk space is good at 17.1 cubic feet for a start, but still suffers a drawback even when you do not use the second-row seats. This is expected to sit five people, but taller passengers will find the backseats a bit cramped for them.
Technology & Safety
The 2022 GLA comes with the Mercedes-Benz User Experience infotainment system that uses a pair of seven-inch touch screen display and seven-inch digital gauge cluster. This is a very dependable pairing that can be used for all functionalities in the interface, including smartphone integration, voice recognition, and a whole lot more. Safety wise, there is a long list that you can count on, including forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring, forward automatic emergency braking, driver attention monitoring, and safe keep assist, among others.
When it comes to infotainment, the 2022 Lexus UX lacks the dependability of those that you will find in the GLA. Despite putting in physical controls, there is a need to rely on the “unreliable” Remote Touch controller. It only uses a seven-inch display, no touch screen configuration included. Safety wise, it is good that it includes road sign recognition, adaptive cruise control, and lane tracing assist.
Performance
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA offers a lot of engine choices. Starting from the 221-horsepower turbo-four to the most powerful 382-horsepower setup, you will experience trustworthy acceleration for these rides. All of these figures are a whole lot better than what the Lexus UX produces at 169 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA simply beams with pride carrying all the features that it has been blessed with. It defeats a lot of its comrades, the 2022 Lexus UX included in the list.
