Two SUVs with some similarities, but otherwise different in most aspects such as the horsepower, starting price, fuel economy, ground shadow size, and height. First of all, there is a notable difference in the starting price of the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class, which is $4,100 less than the base MSRP of the 2016 Volvo XC60. Also, the 2016 XC60 has a more powerful engine than the 2016 GLA-Class, and it gets 5.2 fewer miles on a gallon of fuel. And finally, the GLA-Class body is slightly smaller than the XC60, and in addition to that, it's also shorter. Among similarities are the body structure, market segment, and maximum occupancy.
