2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE vs 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA

Cabin of the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE

One thing Mercedes-Benz does really well is offering a trim level for every price range. Because of this, some overlapping occurs between models such as the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE vs 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA. The GLA is an entry level SUV, but it comes in an AMG trim that is comparable to the base-model GLE that just came out this year. These unlikely partners share a similar MSRP, but they each have different strengths that may call out to you. 

The most obvious incongruence between the two luxury SUVs is the size. The GLA is much smaller, almost resembling a sedan or wagon, but it still has all the interior luxuries that you will find in the GLE350. Despite its smaller size, the GLA produces more horsepower than the GLE. This cuts almost three seconds off the 0-60 acceleration time but also gets better gas mileage because of its lack of weight.

Mercedes-Benz Sport vs Utility

The GLA45 AMG and the GLE350 share many similarities despite being so different. The GLE uses a 3.5-liter V6 and the GLA uses a 2.0-Liter Turbo I4, yet they still both fall in the 300 horsepower range. Because of this, we declare a tie for this 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE vs 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA comparison. Both vehicles seat 7 passengers, but if you need more cargo space, you will certainly enjoy the new Mercedes-Benz GLE. If you just need to transport passengers and have no need to pull a trailer, a new Mercedes-Benz GLA will provide a more enjoyable driving experience and will deliver better gas mileage in the city and on the highway. If you have any questions regarding either of these popular luxury SUVs, let us know by contacting us today! We would be happy to help you maximize the value of your Mercedes-Benz investment.
