The Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 received a redesign for the 2018 model year, along with a few equipment upgrades and enhancements. Agile, adventurous, and adaptable, the 2018 GLA 250 offers the compact footprint of a full-size sedan with the capability and versatility of a crossover. To highlight the redesigned SUV, we created a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 vs 2018 Audi Q3 model comparison.

Both the GLA and Q3 are affordably priced, making them more accessible to younger buyers or buyers with a small family. Both SUVs sport a powerful 2.0L engine, but the GLA has the advantage with 8 more horses under the hood. The GLA also reaches 60 MPH a whole second faster than the Q3. Despite its power advantages, the GLA is even more efficient than the Q3—earning up to 5 more MPG on the highway. The Q3 only tops the GLE in terms of cargo volume, offering about 7 more cubic feet.
