For example, the GLA-Class has a pretty tight cargo hold, and some competitors are more fun to drive. © 2022 Cazoo Ltd.The GLA-Class is a small SUV with a big personality, but it’s up against some tough competition in the ever-expanding subcompact luxury SUV class.

By the end of 2021, Mercedes is expected to have launched the EQB – the electric version of the GLB – and still more electric SUV models are in the brand’s pipeline. The EQC is similar in size and shape to the GLC and has a range of up to 255 miles. You can tell the two apart by the EQA’s different front grille. The EQA is the battery-powered version of the GLA. There are two pure-electric Mercedes SUVs: the EQA and EQC. They have an extra electrical system that helps improve emissions and fuel consumption but doesn’t give you the option of pure electric power. Some GLC, GLE and GLS models with petrol engines have mild-hybrid power, which Mercedes calls ‘EQ-Boost’. The GLE has a much longer range of up to 66 miles and takes around three hours to recharge. The GLC has a range of up to 27 miles and can fully recharge in 90 minutes. The GLC 300de and GLE 350de are both diesel-electric plug-in hybrids. The petrol-electric GLA 250e has a zero-emissions range of up to 37 miles and its battery fully recharges in under three hours from an electric car charger.

Plug-in hybrid versions of the GLA, GLC and GLE are available. It slots in between the GLC and GLE in size, yet costs more than either of those. It’s the Mercedes-Benz SUV model that’s been around the longest and its appeal lies largely in its retro style and exclusivity. The GLE is equivalent to the E-Class saloon and the GLC to the C-Class saloon. Then there’s the GLC, which is the same size as the Volvo XC60.

Moving down a size, the next biggest model is the GLE, whose main rival is the BMW X5. Its luxurious interior has seven seats and a huge boot. It’s a very large car that’s 5.2 metres (or 17 feet) long, making it even longer than the long-wheelbase version of the Range Rover. The GLA is equivalent to the A-Class, the GLB is equivalent to the B-Class and so on.įollowing that pattern, you can see that the largest Mercedes SUV is the GLS, which is equivalent to the S-Class saloon. You can get an idea of the size of a Mercedes SUV by looking at the ‘equivalent’ non-SUV. You may have noticed that the third letter in each Mercedes SUV’s model name matches the name of the brand’s non-SUV models.
