Which is the better choice between the Mercedes CLA 200 CGI Sports, GLA 200 Sports/ 200 d Style, and the BMW X1 sDrive 20d Expedition?
Rohit Agarwal, Mumbai

AAA The CLA is too low for Mumbai’s roads and has insufficient ground clearance for big speed breakers. The GLA has a firm ride and feels more like a pumped-up hatchback. The X1 is the best of the lot and has a proper SUV feel. Also, it’s the nicest to drive.

Boxy shape isn’t attractive, but high ground clearance makes it more appealing.

Interior quality is decent and the dashboard has a nice blend of materials.
