Looking for Premium Without Compromise? 2025 Cadillac XT4 vs. 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLA Compared
August 05 2025,
When luxury and practicality meet in a small SUV, you get standout options like the 2025 Cadillac XT4 and the Mercedes-Benz GLA. These two ride in the same lane—premium, punchy, and full of features—but they take slightly different roads to get there. So, how do they stack up when you put them side by side?
Power That Feels Effortless
Under the hood, the XT4 runs with a 2.0-litre twin-scroll turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque with premium fuel. Meanwhile, the GLA 250 4MATIC offers a 2.0-litre engine producing 221 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, while the AMG GLA 35 jumps up to 302 horsepower with 295 lb-ft of torque. Both come with standard AWD, giving you grip and confidence, but the XT4 delivers it with its signature balance of control and comfort.
Fuel Ratings Worth Noting
The XT4 offers a well-rounded drive with an average of 8.4 to 9.8 L/100 km, depending on how you spec it. The GLA is right in the same ballpark, also clocking in at 8.4 to 9.8 L/100 km combined, depending on whether you're looking at the GLA 250 or AMG variant. Both aim to keep your drive refined without draining your wallet at the pump.
Space and Comfort Where It Counts
In terms of room, the XT4 is surprisingly spacious for a compact SUV. It offers best-in-class rear legroom of 39.5 inches and up to 1,384.6 litres of cargo space with the second row folded. The GLA offers a cozy fit for five, but its cargo space isn’t quite as generous. Both interiors bring premium vibes, but the XT4 steps it up with heated and ventilated massage front seats, power lumbar, and available memory functions to elevate the daily drive.
Inside the Tech Cocoon
The XT4 features a stunning 33-inch curved LED display with Google built-in, giving you a connected, intuitive interface that blends beautifully into the dash. The GLA comes equipped with the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX), a slick digital setup, but with a smaller display footprint. If immersive tech is your vibe, the XT4 leads with size and seamless integration.
Safety Features That Don’t Miss
With over 20 standard driver assistance features, the XT4 keeps safety top of mind. Highlights include HD Surround Vision, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Zone Steering Assist, and Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking. The GLA delivers its own safety net, including standard adaptive cruise and various collision alerts, ensuring both SUVs stay sharp when it matters most.
