The X3 & GLA Compete in Performance

In the GLA, you can choose from three engine options. The standard 221-horsepower turbo 4-cylinder may be fine for daily driving, but the Mercedes-AMG performance versions have a bit more potency with 302 and 382 horsepower, respectively.

The BMW X3, however, can outcompete them all:

• 2.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder (X3 sDrive30i/xDrive30i)-248 horsepower
• 3.0L BMW M TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder (X3 M40i)-382 horsepower
• 3.0L BMW M TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder (X3 M)-473 horsepower

As you can see, each BMW TwinPower Turbo engine outclasses its counterpart from Mercedes-Benz. While both brands are known for performance, BMW notches a win for this particular model.

BMW X3 vs Mercedes-Benz GLA: Cargo Space

Imagine the convenience of all the cargo space you need at a moment's notice. The 2021 X3 and GLA are roomy models and can be configured to store more of your gear. Make better use of the available space: Fold the rear seats and load up bigger and bulkier items.
