2021 Jaguar E-Pace vs. 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA: Increase Your Fun and Style

The E-Pace is Jaguar's first compact SUV, and it has made quite the impression. Designed for drivers who prefer the amenities of a luxury SUV in a package that is the right size. It also offers impressive performance with turbocharged powertrains and an advanced all-wheel drive system. The E-Pace also features unique styling that's sporty and elegant.

There is much more to learn about the E-Pace. Here, we compare it to the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA.

The 2021 Jaguar E-Pace sets itself apart

Both vehicles have several close similarities, but there is one aspect that is obviously different: Style. Jaguar does not fail to set the E-Pace apart from its competitor with a refined design that is recognizably Jaguar. It is easy to forget the compact size of the E-Pace because it has so many unique design characteristics. The GLA would be difficult to identify without the logo.

Also, the E-Pace is acclaimed for its excellent handling and advanced torque vectoring. Dampers adjust the suspension to provide the optimum balance between comfort, refinement and agility. The E-Pace does this so well that it provides a much better driving experience than the GLA when both are compared.

The 2021 Jaguar E-Pace delivers solid standard power

The E-Pace features two exciting powertrains that deliver a performance range that satisfies many driving habits. The E-Pace SE includes the P250 engine, a turbocharged 2.0-litre that outputs 246 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. With the light weight of the vehicle, this performance results in a maximum speed of 229 km/h. The E-Pace 300 Sport features the P300 engine, offering 296 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.

The Mercedes-Benz GLA also includes a turbocharged 2.0-litre, but it develops less horsepower (221) and torque (258). This makes a difference, especially when the vehicle is packed for a weekend away. The E-Pace SE provides an extra boost. The GLA offers two AMG trims, with one that is similar in output to the E-Pace 300 and another that is the most expensive vehicle in this comparison.

The 2021 Jaguar E-Pace is one of the most dynamic compact luxury crossovers. You can shop for your car online with us. Our representatives are waiting for your call and can answer all your questions.
