Comparison Review

Comfort
The Jeep Compass offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250, with comparable head- and legroom. The Jeep Compass offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Jeep Compass as you will with the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Jeep Compass will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250.

Dimensions
Since the Jeep Compass is much wider than the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Jeep Compass takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250.

Handling
The Jeep Compass has a smaller turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Jeep Compass has a little less horsepower than the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Jeep Compass doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Jeep Compass and the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250. The Jeep Compass has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250.
