The 2021 Mercedes-Benz SUV lineup has finally shown its face, and we couldn’t be more excited! Whether you’re interested in a small, compact SUV or something that towers over the rest, there’s a luxury SUV waiting for you here at Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale in Scottsdale, AZ.

To begin, there are currently 4 SUVs that are a part of the 2021 lineup, including the Mercedes-Benz GLA, GLB, GLE, and GLS. Among these, you’ll find the power and performance of these models pretty much split down the middle. Th GLA beats out the GLB in terms of power and performance, and between the GLE and GLS you’ll have similar horsepower and torque, but the GLE, being the smaller of the two, accelerates the quickest. In fact, the 0 to 60 miles per hour acceleration time of the GLE beats out the other two models as well, with the GLS coming in second, the GLA third, and the GLB a bit behind at a jaunty 5.1-second acceleration time. However, there is much more to these models than simply their power and performance. Check it out below!

GLA	GLB	GLE	GLS
Top Horsepower: 382	Top Horsepower: 302 hp	Top Horsepower: 603 hp PLUS 21 hp w/ EQ Boost	Top Horsepower: 603 hp

You’ve probably noticed an absence of the GLC. That is because, currently at least, there is no 2021 version of the GLC. So, we’re going to leave this one out of our comparison. However, this does leave a gap between the smaller and larger SUVs that the GLC normally filled. Because of this, you’ll have a small SUV and compact SUV that’s slightly larger before jumping over the GLC to get to the larger of the lineup; GLE and GLS. However, there is a 2020 GLC model, so if you are simply looking for a new SUV, that isn’t as large as the GLE & GLS, but isn’t as small as the GLA & GLB, we suggest you take a look at our new 2020 GLC models.
