2021 Mercedes GLA vs GLB Comparison Review: What Are The Differences?

We get our hands on Mercedes' two smallest crossover offerings, the GLA and GLB. Although the two cars share a ton in common like engines, platform, and interior tech, they are quite different. We're partial to the GLB's adorable styling, but if you're shopping between the two, we have you covered! Here are all the differences between the GLA and GLB.

Thank you! You helped me fully compare the two without going out in this Texas heat

[@Zebani72]

Thank you for the awesome review!

I LOVE THE GLB IN POLAR WHITE!! 😍 it is mine!

[@robsan9017]

I have one in Polar White and the color makes the car look even more substantial. It's the best color for this SUV in my opinion 👍

[@ardesheerford1741]

The GLB look like a mini version of the GLS and the GLA looks like a mini version of the GLC

[@ede.5487]

Great video, very informative. Also, I’m the same height and you look tall in this video 👍🏾

[@kristians2704]

Both of these are very good for their segments.

To skip songs/tracks, simply swipe down (or up to go back) on the right thumbpad. That's why there's no hard button.

I personally hate the boxy look of the GLB. Test drove both and decided to go for the GLA. I’m a single gay guy and the GLB has a very serious, unfunny person look to it. Overly masculine I’d say. I felt the GLA looks like a cute crossover and the GLB like a cheap SUV.

This just makes me hope thay sedans don't go away.

How can you take this revieq serrious? you need to compare the same things man.. Talking about rims, panoramic roof.. All those things you can have on the gla..

[@artagain8977]

We just bought the GLA. Empty nesters so we didn’t need the extra room of the GLB.

[@robsan9017]

Nice. We're a childless couple who opted for a little more utility with the GLB. ;) WE LOVE IT! Happy motoring!

[@artagain8977]

@@robsan9017 mind if I ask you a question? Our wipers chatter/skip on the sweep back down. Though we only have 800 miles on it, it’s done it since new. The dealer installed new wipers but it still does it. Do yours?

[@christopherhaynes5]

Hey there, I'm in the market for a new vehicle and was wondering how the GLA has been working out? Anything been wrong? I was just curious if you had any input you could share. Thanks so much in advance!

[@artagain8977]

@@christopherhaynes5 We’ve already put about 6,000 miles on it. No problems whatsoever.

[@christopherhaynes5]

@@artagain8977 That's great to hear!! Yeah, I am really liking the GLA. It's just me and my other half and our 1 dog. Thanks again for your help! Take care and stay safe!

Glb reminds of Honda Element boxy look

[@sakichugouken2474]

4:30 what a BS. Just spec the GLA in white (so you can see the night package) and same wheels. His conclusion: "boring" vs. "exciting" AMG. Just BS.

[@golfmaniac007]

Two tone seating is hideous

[@tronarat]

Upgraded engine makes the same as a stock passport Honda lol

[@noybeeswax]

Take another look
Passport 280HP
GLA45 382HP (higher because they put their turbo 4 cylinder in it)
GLB35 302HP

[@user975bg]

I agree.

[@pontikigri3216]

I still prefer the glk none of them has the charm and elegance of the glk

Учитесь как надо коротко, ясно, доходчево, даже на НЕпонятном языке, обьяснять разницу между А и Б..( вместо вашего личного любования на фоне любого авто)... ruclips.net/video/XAGpxz4BG6Y/видео.html

[@jamboreeband]

I think the GLA looks a lot better, GLB is ugly enough

[@golfmaniac007]

Two tone seating color is hideous. Wish car companies would quit that

[@abovethelaw4417]

Gla is trash because it has a Renault engine, GLB is better

[@kristians2704]

in the US they don't have Renault engines.

[@TheEasyRail]

And it's only the GLA180, other motor specs are Merc

[@ManoloRafael]

They both have the same engine
