Which one do you prefer?

[@yes8032]

Q3 but I really like the interior of the Mercedes

[@pplumes2002]

Q3, interior and soundproofing too

[@chrisluyten7577]

I too did a test drive with both of these. A downside for the Merc is the gearbox: you can feel the car shifting when pulling because both engines are seperately connected to the gearbox. In the Audi, the electric engine is built in to the drive line, making shifting very very smooth. Another downside for the Merc (also visible in the video) is the convexed area above the glove department. Since the material used is reflective, the driver is distracted by the miroring of the front shield, especially at night. It feels like something is in your right angular blind sport all of the time. On the other hand, the interior design of the Merc is awesome and the rolling sound is lower as compared to the Audi. The range is slightly higher and the traction is absolutely superb. The Audi I drove had the classic turn key system instead of a start button in the Merc. My preference? My heart says Merc, based upon the interior, my mind says Audi based on the smooth shifting driving experience.

I know majority will say this: Prefer exterior of Q3 with Interior of GLA.

[@rocketretro7200]

I've got to say the GLA as I have just ordered a 250e, never been a fan of the Audi Q series. I loved the parking segment!

[@vwmic320]

I don’t know Wich one I will order ! I like both !

[@pilotf18]

Both of them are beautiful cars. I think audi is 1.4lt vs mercedes 1.3lt but which one do you think is faster??

[@parowozy]

Any numbers? Acceleration time and top speed ?

[@lidiageo]

[@gianpierostaltari4425]

Audi Q3 sport Back design wins 10 to zero, mercedes GLA line is old and already seen !

[@hazname]

Love Mercedes!

[@piekar99]

I have a problem with my wife Brand New (2 months) Q3 TFSI e. I have vibration and jerking on 2 gear with slow acceleration and braking. No solution from Audi since 1 month. Waiting waiting waiting …. Anybody any ideas ?

[@piekar99]

Finally solved was gearbox and replaced - after that I sold this car . Take a long time to believe me that problem exist. Audi Spain was very unhelpful .

[@parowozy]

@@piekar99 all hybrid cars have very complecated systems, Buy full ev or gas. Never hybrid.

[@dmitrykudryashov2515]

Q3 is expensive Tiguan, but Mercedes is Mercedes.

[@danfolger9041]

porsche to is a expensive volkswagen?

[@superultrafabulous]

Q3 is quieter and more stable. I don’t like the interior of the Benz.

[@georgesoulakis910]

Biased test drive. The roads driven by GLA where bumpier.
