DARE TO COMPARE


2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA vs. BMW X1

At a Glance: 2023 GLA vs. X1



With all the luxury SUVs on the market, research is key for finding what works with your life in Scottsdale, AZ. When it comes to the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA and the 2023 BMW X1, you may need to dig in and figure out what’s best for you. Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale has simplified the process so you’re closer to deciding.

See the Difference for Yourself


PERFORMANCE

When you’re on the hunt for the perfect vehicle, one of the first things that catches your attention is the power beneath the hood. Fortunately for you, the 2023 GLA and the X1 both have impressive powertrains running the show.

Comparable Engines

A comparable engine appears under the hoods of these luxury vehicles. The 2023 GLA provides a standard 2.0L inline4 cylinder turbo engine, while the X1 comes with a 2.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder engine.

Both models offer more than 200 horsepower and can accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH in less than seven seconds.

Versatility

But that’s where the similarities end if you factor in the available drivetrains and transmission. With the 2023 GLA, you’ll either stick with front-wheel drive or exchange it for 4MATIC® all-wheel drive (AWD). The BMW doesn’t give you a choice. All it offers is xDrive, the name of its AWD system.

To adjust to various road conditions, the 2023 GLA uses an 8G-DCT 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The BMW comes close with the 7-speed Dual Clutch automatic transmission, but it’s slightly less versatile.


INTERIOR

Of course, there’s more to these vehicles than just power. For instance, both SUVs have a spacious interior that will provide comfort for you and your passengers. We’re here to find out which model has the better features.

Seating Options

The seats in the 2023 GLA can be furnished with three different materials, including MB-Tex, MB-Tex with microfiber, and leather upholstery. In the BMW X1, you’re afforded SensaTec upholstery to cover the seats.

Sink into upgraded multicontour front seats in the 2023 GLA. They’re designed to keep you comfortable so that you exit the car without the fatigue you may feel after a long day. Plus, they can be equipped with both heat and ventilation depending on what you prefer. While the BMW has optional heated front seats, ventilation is not offered.

Better Dimensions

Feel free to stretch out in the 2023 GLA. Both the front and the rear legroom extend farther than the X1. The 2023 GLA provides 41 and 38 inches, respectively. If you sit in the BMW, you’ll find 40.4 inches in the front and 37 inches in the rear.


TECHNOLOGY

From road trips to regular commutes, you typically have some sort of music accompanying your drive. With impressive infotainment systems and audio, the 2023 GLA and the X1 make it easier than ever to connect your phone and keep track of your vehicle information.

Information Displays

Before we get into all the fun stuff like speakers and playlists, let’s take a look behind the steering wheel. These vehicles sport similar features, including the 10.25-inch screen behind the wheel.

This display lets you know all types of information, like your current speed, remaining fuel, and many of the functions of your car.

Turn Up the Music

Following those comparable features, the audio system on board either vehicle can be upgraded to include 12 speakers. For the 2023 GLA, you’ll get a Burmester® Surround Sound System, while the BMW offers a Harman Kardon® surround sound system. In this case, you may prefer one brand over the other.

Inside, the 2023 GLA spreads a layer of light or accents of color with ambient lighting. This option offers 64 colors, so you can match your mood, the holiday, or pick a shade at random. The BMW only offers multi-color ambient lighting but does not specify how many shades.


Find Out Which Luxury Car Works for You


Consider this comparison of the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA and the 2023 BMW X1 the only piece of research you’ll need. Then take it one step further and schedule a test drive at Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale. We look forward to introducing motorists from Scottsdale, AZ, to the 2023 GLA.

All of the tools you need to move forward with experiencing a new 2023 GLA for yourself are conveniently available right here online.
