Audi Q3 VS Mercedes GLA comparison review //Which SUV for you?

#AudiQ3
#MercedesGLA
#CoupleCarReviews
This is a Motormouth couple car comparison of the Audi Q3 and Mercedes'Benz GLA. Both of these new SUVs are the latest entries in the small luxury utility space. Both the Audi Q3 small crossover and Mercedes GLA SUV have 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. They both produce 258lb.-ft. of torque but the Q3 has 228hp and the GLA 221hp. A big difference between these two small luxury SUVs is the Mercedes-Benz requires premium gasoline and the Q3 runs on regular. Both the Audi Q3 and Mercedes GLA come with an 8-speed automatic and standard AWD. The Q3 comes standard with an 8.8” touchscreen and a 10.25-inch driver display, the GLA has a 7-inch touchscreen and driver display. A 10.1-inch touchscreen along with a 12.3-inch driver display is available on the Q3 Technik trim and a 10.25-inch touchscreen and driver display on the GLA with the premium package for $3,600. Both have user-friendly infotainment tech and have a good balance of comfort and agility, as well as, an excellent turning radius. The interior on the GLA is stylish and sophisticated, the Audi, clean, simple and modern, they are both very different, but well done. The GLA wins on fuel economy getting 9.8L/100km in the city & 7.1L on the highway. The Q3 gets 12.3L/100km in the city, 8.6L on the highway. Keep in mind, the Q3 runs on cheaper regular fuel. Both of these new small luxury utilities are fantastic and deliver a great ride, fun handling and upscale interior.

Test drove both, ended up with the Audi, much more value for the money, the price on the Mercedes shoots up really fast once you start adding options that you would want in that type of car, and in my opinion the Audi looks better on the outside, handles great in dynamic mode, but I have to say that the GLA’s interior is second to none.

It's the GLA for me; better looking inside and out and the premium gas requirement is largely offset by the markedly better fuel economy compared to the Q3, so it's not a big issue for me. Great review as always guys, keep it up!

Both these cars are so well packed with tech. GLA for me.

I brought the 2021 GLA AMG line and it is amazing. I had a 2016 GLA and the new one is amazing. Love it.

Great comparison, I really enjoyed it. Keep up the great work, you guys are putting out some excellent content. Looking beautiful Drea as always 👌

Great video guys. I'm in the UK and currently have a GLA 2019 model. Which I must admit I love. But I will be changing my car later this year. I have been agonising between these two and was delighted to see your comparison. However I am still on the fence. Two great cars. I might just have to toss a coin 😂

I am on my 3rd GLA and they have all been great cars
Just about to part exchange for the EQA all electric new model
The test drive was very convincing and retains the same feel as the GLA with great updates on the features

Thanks for nicely put together video, the best I have come across online... Appreciate it is not to list down every difference, but a key features in the Q3 is that the Driver assistance (parking, lane assist, blindspot) package in the basic model are much better compared to its Mercedes GLA. That is a huge factor especially when you are doing long drives.

I like the Q3 exterior but the GLA interior. I have an 17-SQ5 and love the performance of the supercharged V6. Wish they had an SQ3.

Looking at the Q3 today. Thanks for your review!

This is fantastic, I’ve been looking at these two and as much as I’m loving the look and interior of the gla, I’m with you, I need the console shift. I don’t know, I feel I’m more in control, I’ve driven stick almost all my life and I would feel so strange without the shift on the console to hold on to

The GLA runs on premium gas but gets better mileage. AAA says premium gas costs about $3.10 while regular costs about $2.50 in the US right now. Based on the city mileage you indicated, it would cost about $39.27 to drive the Audi Q3 300 miles while the Mercedes GLA would cost about $38.75. Based on the highway mileage, the Audi Q3 would cost about $27.37 to drive 300 miles while the Mercedes GLA would cost about $28.18. I don't think you should be emphasizing how much you like buying regular gas when the actual fuel costs are very similar. I think anyone that buys these vehicles will be very happy with their purchases!

Great review as always guys, keep it up!

Thank you so much for this comparison review. It really helped me a lot!!

[scottferris]

Both cars are simply spectacular! Choosing one over the other comes down to personal preferences. Great review!

[stonkykong]

Believe it or not, I have been stuck between the 2 for some time now and there aren’t thorough comparison on YT just yet. Well done and much appreciated for this video 👌🏽

[OFOFBORG]

Oh tough choice!! I would pick q3 because of its classic looking car and it’s use regular gas. I love GLA’s touchscreen is awesome!

[zedone]

Wish you guys would have the cars side by side the entire time, instead of different clips, and titles flashing on screen.

Helped me buy my car when the dealership pulled up the other car I was considering, unlucky for them I chose the competition 🤣
