The Porsche Macan and Mercedes GLA aren’t technically comparable as they belong to different classes of vehicles. However, in Turbo and 45AMG guises, they are surprisingly evenly matched, according to MT.
Were you to base the decision of which to buy purely on style and space, the clear winner would obviously be the Macan – the GLA looks immature sitting next to it, with its spoiler sticking out at the back.
Even so, it turns out to be much more fun to drive on curvy roads, offering a more entertaining drive than the Macan Turbo. The latter is still hugely capable and we know it can hold its own on a track, yet it may not put as big a smile on your face.
The choice of having one over the other is not as simple as it’s expressed in the video comparo posted below, if of course you get over the fact that it may not be fair to compare them.
