Should I get a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB or 2020 BMW X1?

Should you get the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB or the 2020 BMW X1? Here at Mercedes-Benz of Arrowhead, we’re going to check out both models to see which one might be more interesting to you. To begin, we are going to compare the base trims of both models. This gives you an idea of what you’re starting out with for both models.

2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB vs BMW X1

As you can see in the table below, you’ll have a slight advantage of horsepower in the BMW X1, but the same amount of torque for both models. They are also both able to go off-road and are prime candidates for all your off-roading adventures. However, if you’re planning on rougher terrain, you may want to pick the GLB, which stands higher off the ground than the BMW X1. Likewise, you’ll have more legroom in the GLB, and the option of cooled/ventilated seats as well.
