Some brands, like Mercedes-Benz has a few vehicles that look very similar, but are in fact very different. Today we're going to help by outlining the distinct differences between the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA and 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC.

Another difference between these two vehicles is their performance and power. The Mercedes-Benz GLA comes standard with a seven-speed automatic transmission and is unable to tow anything. The Mercedes-Benz GLC, on the other hand, has a nine-speed automatic transmission and offers a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pound when properly equipped. This means if you want a little more power in a vehicle and you plan on towing extra cargo, you might want to take a closer look at the GLC.
