Pros Cons of Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class

Pros

  • Plush ride quality
  • Sophisticated looks makes it stand out
  • The cabin is very spacious and well designed

Cons

  • The Gearbox is not so responsive
  • The AMG trim is pricey
  • Rear Seat Legroom Could Be Better

Verdict

The Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class offers an exceptionally plush ride, with a cabin that has been redesigned to align with its more upscale siblings. Perfectly sized and positioned for the Indian entry-level premium market, it provides a harmonious blend of luxury and practicality. Despite the general upward trend in vehicle prices over recent years, the GLA-Class maintains an attractive price point. Its introduction is a significant and welcome enhancement to India's entry-level premium segment, promising a blend of comfort, style, and prestige.

Pros Cons of BMW 3 Series

Pros

  • Performance
  • Exquisite Driving Dynamics
  • Comfortable Over Long Journeys

Cons

  • Low Ground Clearance
  • Lacks Boot Space
  • Lacks Second Row Leg Space

Verdict

The prices are competitive enough and BMW will like to believe that the lack of a credible rival at this stage will help it capture the compact premium sedan market. The premium car buyer in India will like that it retains its traditional strengths and yet gives a bit more by way of luxury and comfort, giving it a more all-rounder appeal than before. Expect to see a few of these on the roads - could have been more - had the automobile market not been badly hammered down as it were.
