[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about the GLB? The GLA is junk. The GLC is even better. [/quote]

Can you tell me more?  Only reason I’m going with the GLA is size.  [/quote]

Because for the same price you can get a very well equipped Honda. It’s a poser car. [/quote]

Be aware of people with outdated opinions on cars. The PP's take on the GLA only applies to first-generation GLA and related CLA vehicles, which were indeed pretty bland. MB went down-market too far with those cars and they generally did not measure up to the brand image that MB targets with the rest of their lineup. I have driven quite a few GLAs as loaners from the local MB dealership and they just did not feel like anything I would consider buying. The previous generation GLA was a complete failure both inside and out: the exterior was ugly and the interior was cheap and looked dated - a throwback to the MB interior design of the 2000s, with a "tablet" tacked on.

The first clue that the PP's opinion is now outdated is his recommendation of the GLB while calling the GLA junk. For the 2021 model year, the GLB and GLA use the same chassis, engine, and very similar interior design. The only difference is market targeting: the GLB is a more traditional boxy shape, while the GLA is more swoopy. The two SUVs do drive differently, with the GLB being more like a traditional SUV, while GLA more like a taller hatchback. Reviewers comparing the two comment that the GLA is quicker, more car-like in its handling, and is the choice for those who want a more sporty feel while trading off some cargo space.
