2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 vs 2019 Buick Encore
Mercedes-Benz offers drivers a premium subcompact SUV option in the GLA 250, and the performance and utility are almost second to none. Subcompact SUVs are an underrated part of the industry due to the unique versatility and utility they offer. They’re smaller than conventional SUVs so they are easier to handle and get better fuel efficiency, but they’re also larger than sedans and have more cargo space and passenger space to work with. The GLA 250 isn’t just any subcompact SUV, though. It’s a luxury compact SUV, and as such, it offers more high-quality amenities than an ordinary model.
