It is 112mm long and does not have an off-road system, unlike the Range Rover Evoque. It is equipped with a Terrain Response system, which makes it the best SUV in this segment.In addition to the Range Rover Evoque’s better driving position than the Mercedes GLA, this is what seems special to some buyers.Now with the GLA200CDI, you will slip and feel more comfortable in driving, as if you were in a Range Rover!Once you sit in those glass-enclosed seats that seem relatively narrow compared to the British competitor, the Range Rover Evoque, at least in this aspect, but the German competition takes you to the farthest extent.

The new model also has a full-touch control panel that makes you feel more comfortable and adaptable, which confirms its rival to Range Rover, although the latter also has a hatch air but it remains optional.Unlike the Q3 and X1, which share some A3 components, compared to the hatchback, it feels completely different on the inside. It’s very similar to the GLA Class.Choosing the command and information system, the GLA model is not equipped with internet and digital radio technologies and set internet-enabled applications. However, this technology is also not available in the Range Rover Evoque and this is also unique, as the touch screen in the Range Rover is more nervous Compared to recent MERCEDES BENZ versionsAnd it comes with the Mercedes command and information system package, an 11-degree audio system and the wonderful Robo speaker system, which makes the car’s position among its competitors strong thanks to the systems available on it.And the surprises of this system do not stop here.

The command and information system comes with USB sockets in its package to charge your modern devices such as iPhone, iPad and many additions such as voice control, with this system say goodbye to many complicated matters.It was not difficult to think of a model similar to the Range Rover, but the Mercedes differs from the Range Rover Evoque in the rear, it is lower than its counterpart Range Rover EvoqueThe base of the new GLA category is lower than the Range Rover Evoque, despite that, the two models have luxurious, supportive seats with a slight difference in the seating position, so the most comfortable position was taken into account, and here Range Rover Evoque and GLA200 adopted the best standards in terms of positioning sit down.A small height for the rear seats makes you feel like you are inside a cave, another distinctive feature of the new model with the optional sunroof that has been worked on to increase the luxury of the carCompared to the Range Rover Evoque, the space between the front and rear seats is slightly wider, which provides comfort for all passengers. Although the Range Rover Evoque is in the GLA class, it does not have a luxurious sunroof, but it remains shared with the new model GLA200 in The most important points are the anchor, and the child seat.The GLA class is suitable for you, as a sports variant, but if you are a fan of family cars, then the most suitable Range Rover Evoque.The Range Rover Evoque’s trunk remains 37 percent larger than that of the Mercedes GLA, as the Range Rover’s trunk can accommodate 575 liters, compared to 412 for the Mercedes GLA200.Because Mercedes tires are more resistant to rips, so they do not offer a spare wheel in this model, only the lower storage compartment, but the Range Rover Evoque features a spare wheel in addition to a larger storage sizeThe new model does not include the ski port, although it has 12-volt power sockets, but the last rear seats are designed with reclining backrests, to give more space for the rear storage compartmentThe car’s distinctive engine and shape give the car power even when the passengers are in full condition, in addition to the high-capacity payloadAnd when comparing the performance of the Land Rover, we find it somewhat superior, with a 2.2-liter engine, and taking advantage of the four-wheel drive, the Land Rover produces a power of 100KW, which is the same power as Mercedes-Benz, until the Land Rover excels in torque 400NM compared to 300NM for Mercedes and 4000 rpm compared to 3400 to 4000 for MercedesWhen comparing the Range Rover Evoque and the Mercedes GLA, we find that the GLA200 reaches a speed of 100 km in 9.6 seconds, while the Range Rover Evoque reaches 100 km in 9.9, and for reference, the torque measurements are largely responsible for making these cars sporty And multi-useThe Mercedes GLA is about 100kg lighter than the 1595kg Range Rover Evoque.And despite the fact that the Range Rover Evoque is less in dimensions than our competitor GLA200, which is considered larger, the front seat, especially the driver’s seat, is completely similar.Thanks to the 9-speed engine in the Range Rover, torque comes in the lead over its rival GLA200, as the engine can automatically shift quickly at traffic lights, but the turbo system is the best, it is much faster than the Range Rover Evoque systemThe GLA200 CDI comes with a seven-speed automatic transmission, which makes movement easier and more controlled on the roadThe S button is a button that is pressed when driving in the urban area, to put the pedal in another position to suit the fuel consumption as a result of frequent parking and walking at a slow speed. The sport mode can also be adjusted. This is also a feature of the GLA200 CDI model.The diesel engine, is a homogeneous engine, to get the best performance of the engine and reach a great speed in record time, which is somewhat lacking in its competition.Both of these cars are economical, making them family-friendly.

PowerAnd each class remains with its own features, which makes it difficult to determine the best, as the Mercedes GLA performance is not at the premium level, but the list of additional equipment is what makes the cost high the same for the Range Rover Evoque, where these cars need to present complete models of course will be More expensiveRange Rover Evoque and Mercedes GLA with a 2.2 engine are clearly different in price, as the GLA comes with the full add-on at a price of 58 thousand dollars, while the EVOQUE remains at 61 thousand dollars in addition to many options, here where the superiority of the GLA appears in the priceIt is also possible to choose the GLA250 4matic, which is equal to the price of the Range Rover Evoque with a DIESEL engine, but by comparing it in the test between the Range Rover, the latter is more comfortable and faster than this model
