2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA vs 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC

Dashboard of the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA and the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC are the two most affordable SUVs in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. The GLA is the entry-level SUV, and the GLC is the next step up and is the replacement for the Mercedes-Benz GLK. If you are currently in the market for a new SUV, it is easy to get scrambled in the Mercedes-Benz SUV specifics. The GLA and the GLC are especially difficult to differentiate because they have the same engine, a similar price, and they both wear the three-star badge on the hood. 

The most important differentiation between these two vehicles is the purpose. They both offer 4MATIC all-wheel drive and seating for five, but they are made for different reasons. The GLA is made to be a vehicle that never leaves the street. It is efficient, compact, and modern. In fact, it could be considered a crossover vehicle, depending on the criteria. The GLC is a little bit bigger than the GLA. Its purpose is to provide a comfortable ride for drivers and passengers alike, offering DYNAMIC SELECT driving modes and more interior space.

Although the race is a close one, we have to give this comparison to the GLC. The Mercedes-Benz GLC is brand new for the 2016 year, meaning it was designed with all the latest technology in mind and will likely be in production for at least ten years, offering a timeless aspect. The GLC is about ten inches longer than the GLA and about five inches taller. This difference in size may not seem like much but it gives the GLC more stability, more comfort, and more interior space in general than the GLA. The GLC is not yet available as an AMG model, but it will be for 2017, further pushing the GLA into its grave. Still, if you want a sporty SUV that barely takes up one parking space and costs less than $40 to fill with gas, the GLA is the vehicle for you.
