Advantages of the Mercedes-Benz GLA
You can potentially find yourself leaning more towards the GLA if there are specific features you’re looking for. This includes a sunroof, which is optional on the GLA, but not available on the X1. If you are looking for a satellite radio, you’ll need to move up a trim in the GLA, but it once again isn’t available in the X1.
No matter how carefully you drive, some things are just out of your hands. Accidents happen, road issues or tire issues happen. Stressing about these situations can be exhausting. Thankfully, even if you find yourself in a bit of a bind, the Mercedes-Benz unlimited year and unlimited mile Roadside Assistance has got you covered.
