Pros
  • Standard all-wheel drive
  • Premium interior materials
  • Fun to drive
Cons
  • Some advanced safety features are not standard
  • Features we really want bump the price up significantly
Pros
  • Multiple powertrain options
  • Powerful engine
  • Impressive technology
Cons
  • Poor ride quality
  • Poor handling
  • Not much cargo space

Reviews Summary

The all-new, third-generation X1 is zippy and fun enough to be worthy of the distinction, but with new capability and plenty of cargo space, it’s bringing the utility, too.

Reviews Summary

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA delivers on all thing things a subcompact SUV is supposed to do. It’s cute, compact (but not cramped), and easily maneuverable. The new, eighth-generation GLA gives customers a lot of what they expect but also lacks the refinement of other Mercedes models.
