This and that.
GLA45 AMG (2015 vs 2017)

I would like to know what differences are there in the aforementioned generation of the GLA? Not sure if there are any, but I am curious. If I was to get one, I'd like to know if it's worth going for a brand new one or if there isn't going to be much difference opting for the 2015 version.

Second question, would you get either of them over a 2012 X5M?

Thanks

2015 GLA45 AMG
I think the 2017 has ~20 more HP, 375 vs. 355

The x5m is an odd choice to cross shop with the GLA.. That being said, the x5m is extremely dated, especially the interior (IMO). The GLA blows it out of the water in almost every category. It's obviously not nearly as big, which is why it's odd to cross shop between the two.

X5 is much bigger vehicle, so a very different vehicle - Have you compared with a ML63 ? (or a GLC)

2016 CLA 45 AMG
The 2014-2015 GLA will have less power than the 2016+.

It uses the same powerplant as the CLA 45.

2014-2015 CLA 45 0-60 ~ 4.6 sec
2016 CLA 45 0-60 ~ 4.1 sec

It might not seem like that big of a difference, but you'll feel it. I guess it just depends on what you're content with.


also, i believe the X5m just seems dated. :P but thats just me.
