It’s always fun to figure out what’s on your potential new car, but once you’ve decided on a specific model, you’re faced with a puzzle. Should you get the newest model, or go for the Certified Pre-Owned version of last year’s model? Ultimately, it depends on what you’re looking for in your next vehicle. So, we’re here to figure out if you should get the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA or stick with it’s 2020 predecessor. Check it out!
To begin, you’ll have 1 more trim on the 2021 GLA than you will in the 2020 GLA. Normally, this wouldn’t be such a big feature, but the 3rd trim of the 2021 GLA is an AMG® model. So, you’ll find even more horsepower and torque than we’ve seen before in this model. But even if you don’t go with the AMG® trim, you’ll still have more horsepower in the 2021 GLA than in the 2020 GLA.
