- The compact or small SUV market has rapidly grown over the years as manufactures have produced more practical crossovers ideal for families. I put three of the best head to head in this group test; the brand new Mercedes GLA, based upon the previous A-Class, the luxurious and sport BMW X1 which sports a similar interior to the 2 Series Active Tourer, and finally, the Audi Q3 which received a facelift to keep up to date with SUV rivals. So, which compact SUV will win in this all German affair? Which is the best value for money, and which SUV offers the most amount of space? Find out which car I declare the winner in this 4k in-depth group review!

They really improved the x1 from the previous generation
Kushal Betgov improvement is an understatement
Kushal Betgov They
had to put the Mercedes GLC
It's just smaller
Nope. Front wheel drive based, less fun to drive, and it’s as boring as a dead ferret. Now they pipe fake sound through the speakers. Used to be 4 years of free maintenance, now 3 years. Have you tried both?
Kurt Muroki I’m very happy with my 2017 x1. It is a blast to drive. With a crossover, I was looking for extra storage space and having a fwd for more space is ok with me. It’s a sporty family car and I’m fine with that.
But the previous generation was a RWD!
X1 clear winner aha
BMW X1 is literally better in every category! Landslide win!
BMW won wow.
BEN TWOONEZERO 😂😂😂
vs vw and infinity ofc the only premium car should win
Biju Mj following your logic the x1 should be a mini........
You know that the Infiniti is based on the Merc not the other way round? ;-)
BEN TWOONEZERO Totally Agree!!
Im a huge Mercedes Fan but i think the X1 looks the best
Just bought one! #bmw4life
Yeah but BMW is more expensive. Bmw x1 is actually better but it is more expensive
Even though I don't particularly like its looks, I would choose the X1. Its the best car here for sure and I like how it looks like an SUV, unlike the other two which are just jacked up hatchbacks. Its also the most practical and spacious (two things that are important to me).
Even if the GLA didn't win, I'm still in love with it !
Definitely looks more "Posh" than the other 2.
@@AjesJohn-it7nf noone cares. i own a 2015 one and its excellent.
Gla looks posh no doubt so it's fine for those with small fam of 3 or 4, or just couples. If looks matter to you. But BMW X1 just has everything and practical and family allrounder! Space is needed than BMW X1!
@@AjesJohn-it7nf trash really? 😂
@Niccolò Machiavelli I also had a 2015 GLA with 2.1 diesel and I was dissapointed by the noisy engine, I couldn't stand it, also the technology is kinda old, parking sensors, infotainment. I sold it after 1 month
@Ajes John I was dissapointed to be honest, I expected more from the GLA, but the engine was so noisy, the technology outdated, I mean for the parking sensors there were indicators like the aftermarket ones, stuck on the dashboard and you couldn't see it.due to the infotaiment screen.
In my opinion, the X1 also by far looks the best!
Andreas 100% I agree with you.
Andreas yeah
The comparison review I had been dreaming of. Thank you!
This video is very helpful! I was actually debating between x1 and gla and now I know which car I want !
Great vid. Could you do something similar comparing the Q5 / X3 / GLC?
Do a video of a BMW X3 v.s Audi Q5 v.s Mercedes-Benz's GLC
When you say the fuel consumption, you should show us how many litres this is. Especially for the european viewers.. 😁
There are many converters online that will tell you the litres/100km figures once you put in the British MPG figures, and after a few times of doing this, you will learn to just approximately convert the figures for yourself once you hear 'MPG' being said in these videos.
also many other reviews whats your point, you want all the info in the video not do extensive bullshit
Is that a reply to my or Jacob's comment?
Jacob Verschaeve He is right. You don't need to say it, but in the editing of the video there should be for 2-3 seconds what that is for l/100km. That would really finish it off like the red cherry on top of the cake. 😃👍🏼
the thing is he needs to give info.
Absolutely awesome and practical review. Keep up the good work.
Love your reviews Mat! Something I look forward to seeing before any of my car choices. Keep up the great work!
That X1 is amazing! BMW overall is ahead of its competitors on style and tech.
djChives95 ‘style’ is subjective. I’m not a fan of the overly aggressive look on BMW
@@springbok4015 it looks good what more can you ask? should it look horrible?
Mate this review of your made not only me buy a X1 but two of my friends bought also :) cheers
I love Mercedes but in this test BMW X1 is better than the Mercedes GLA
Benhamidouche Madjid yes the gla is shit
Adham Ayman its not shit its just not as good
yes mercedes needs some work on its SUVs and make them good as its sedans
+Mohamed Osama
even their sedans sucks i have proven to u
+ahmed amjad their saloon cars are the best they just need to emprove their SUVs
GLA Is really cramped from inside.. But i like driving it (220d), design is nice and tech is alright. You just dont expect the tiny space inside when you look at it from outside.
Test drove all three bought x1 x drive x_line model 2.0d have had it five months love it
Quick, sharp n decisive review. Well done !
@Matt....you really know how to review a car with the least amount of time...keep it up...I have never missed any of your videos... keep it up..... and how about you do a review of the Aston Martin Vanquish and a Ferrari TDF...
i have a gla 250 and i love it so much
It's time to do it again with the newer versions!!!
Excellent and thorough. You really helped me with my decision.
Great comparison review format. This hits all the important points that buyers want to know about. Two thumbs up!
When you talked about the gla about the light you used for the interior you said "let's see that" and right after that an ad plays. I've never seen such a great placement for an ad 😂
love that merc basket
Sick video as always 👍🏼
Think the BMW X1 actually looks the best as well in my opinion.
yea i think it is. but other car has star: it's mercedes
GLA 100%. From the alloys to the body the car looks balanced and interior is beautiful. The BMW X1 looks like a body builder who doesn't train their legs and the Q3 reminds me of a beetle.
I'd have to agree with you. I love my X1
If this review was last year i was amazed. So this was done 2 months ago where there is a new GLA and comes with off road suspension by default in UK (30 mm higher than normal). You used an AMG Line (the stiffer and 45 mm lower than off road GLA). What would you expect? Please review again with GLA 2017 and off road suspension.
BMW X1 and Lexus NX are my favorite in this segment
please please , Vw Golf vs Mazda 3 vs Ford Focus! Do it please
ok convinced, done, bought me an X1. Thx Matt, Great video & review. Exactly my opinion as well. Well done BMW.
Matt Watson
Please review 318i as well.
This is very easy. BMW
nakul singh opinion
stretch90 that's your opinion 😂
Well the things I mentioned aren't subjective, so it's not really an opinion.
Of the three I would take the X1 at least till the Q3 gets a serious update. Been in a GLA as a passenger wasn't impressed. Though next segment up I enjoyed the GLC over the old X3 and Q5.
Bmw X1 is clear winner for sure
Gio True but WHY DOESNT HE HAVE A SINGLE USB PORT 😢
It does under the arm rest im pretty sure
BMW is ugly from the front and side
Alexander Meladze and your face too
Baby started to cry...
Love that basket.
Great review, Mat.
Matt, I really like your channel and have been following it for a while, it would be nice if you could give us the list price of the vehicle as tested not the base.
plz do q5 2017 head to head with other two brands
1:39 - my 2007 Toyota Rav4 had the same seat feature. It was a major selling point. 3:13 - also a feature of the '07 Rav4. Should be normal.
great review, helps me allot to choose
The video helped me in getting 2018 X1 Diesal
Will there be Dacia reviews on Carwow I want to know what Mat thinks of the new models last video he did on a Dacia was the 2014 Sandero Stepway (If I remember correctly)
2017 Panamera review?
6 series gran coupe vs Audi A7 vs Mercedes Cls
Matt can you do this please
That's a good review, ticks all the boxes. Thanks.
Very interesting as these are the three I will choose from next time I change my car. x
I'm gonna get the X1 2018-2019 , and not very good in dealing with car dealers as they see me as some easy target (due to looking young). Wondering what price i should settle for in usa? I really like this review as helped me made up my mind. I'm guessing total including tax etc.. Is truevalue site pretty accurate to go by?
Are you planning to compare the new BMW X3, Volvo XC60, Audi Q5 and Mercedes-Benz GLC? And have you been doing some other videos on your own XC60 lately? I'm expected more videos as you have stated in your previous reviews! Thanks
I would like to know about X1 Petrol version...how many star you recommend out of 5 to buy as i like silent engine on road ? is there any engine noise difference petrol v/s diesel ?
Love that colour of the X1
They are all about the same to me. I like the air vent of the GLA. which one last longer and uses less gas?
u did great job mat ..!!
Matt, speaking of high quality interior materials which nudged you to give the X1 number one spot in the comparative review, how much do you have to pay for leather seats in the Bimmer? In Q3 they come as standard :)
Wow your channel is better than top gear, best channel I found in 2017 , great work
Can do a review to include Volvo XC40?
Performing surgery with an oven glove 😂. My favorite punchline
Amazing... thx for good work
Do the same video with the Q5 X3 and Glc
Paul Schäfer GLC Q5 X3 in that order
X1 is very good entry level SUV... very practical from BMW as expected.. .good interiors and cargo space!
That X1 series looks stunning.
I really dont like the current one though...
The x1 is great with the expensive options but without them it looks cheap compared to the GLA.
make a review between BMW X1 vs Audi Q2
Same with new GLA when it comes out please!
Audi is oldest and still doing well, specially with GLA which is younger. The X1 is winner there for sure, they done great job.
Mercedes has been incredibly bad at building small cars. Just look at the A-class and its terrible ride quality.
Lytinwheedle Yeah, the A class is big peace of shit
But the Q3 is a facelift model from 2015, so I guess they would have fixed some issues from the 2011 model. The GLA is from 2014 and get this year a facelift.
Pi VN It doesnt matter. Interior is from 2011, exterior 99% from 2011. I think that I'm right.
Vehicles World the problem with Audi they didn't realise market taste and doesn't take face lift to but benz is at its best looking interior and engine compromised .. for bmw it just one word amazing make a super car like R8 or sl65 amg solve ans ultimate winner
Previous x1 remind me of SHoes shapes ....
Thanks for cool video. Helped a lot to pick new ....BMW X1! :)
No rear AC vents in BMW X1?
please compere BMW X1 VS AUDI Q2 2017
These three German cars a really nice. All of them, but I liked the BMW the most.
Im so happy that bmw won this test Matt you are the best car rewiever. After you is Juraj Sebalj the Croatian guy.
its a good test. thank you.
you've helped me a lot
I've not driven any of them, though I like the looks of the Mercedes.
We need a new updated review with the newer versions of these cars please
Is the q3 bigger/higher than the bmw x1
Are those tail lights on q3 legal in US? They disappear when trunk is open.
If you turn on the aircon the windows will stay clear. That looks nicer on the camera too.
Have you got a one plus 3?
I love my x1 honestly . Was looking at a gla as well but the points made in this video ended up being what helped me make my choice
how has it been? im looking at buying a used x1, any issues?
@@irrayplaceable1858 no I honestly love it . So far I’ve only been to the shop for oil changes for the most part(once a year or every 10k miles ) . I Replaced breaks once and tires twice within a 2 year span . Great on gas .
Hi mate I was thinking of buying an X1. Have you had any issues with it, and how does it feel to drive?
I choosed bmw x1 coz the distinctive style and handling and looks like a truly suv of all the europian suv vehicles .Here in japan we got the exclusive 1500 cc. with twin turbo engine 18 xi line and have a 140 ps.My parents both this car, and used it everyday.No some issues nor vehicle problems or whatever.It consumes for about 11.4 km.per liter.They changes the tire with RFT Bridgestone Turanza to Bridgestone Alenza .And what an amazing changes happened, a truly road soft handling and quite tire sound which is the BMW1 real gives the comfort ,the instability and very good road handling performance.
Pretty fair call I'd say, nice video chaps!
i just got the x1 i love it
i love your reviews
i went for q3 and its amazing
X1 is the most practical of these. It feels quite roomy inside for such a compact suv.
q3 is oldest and outclassed by q2
Yudha Bagaskara hahahaha q2 are u serious? The Q2 is hideous
Actually, no. The Q2 looks good. The Q3 is hideous.
Yudha Bagaskara the rear on the q2 is ugly as fuck... makes me think of vw polo
On the outside? Yes. On the inside? No. If Audi even remotely knows what they're doing, which I assume they do, I would expect an update to the Q3 at the 2018 Detroit auto show at the very latest. Having a more expensive model that's not as nice as the cheaper one isn't a situation that can be allowed to go on for long, that's basically exactly how Ford killed Lincoln's prestige 30 years ago.
Q2 is too tight and even uglier.
X1 and the Audi are my favorites ones !
Skoda superb 2017 review plzzzzzz
No water temperature gauge in the BMW ?
Ive just bought an x1 today,18 plate,low milage,£17000 for the 25d auto
Could've waited to do this test when the facelift gla is for sale
Which one run smooth no sound In cab while driving ?
Entertaining video
Gud 👍👍
Soon I'll have one soon......
