Cadillac XT4 vs Mercedes GLA

Searching for a luxury SUV that offers refined style, bold performance and real value? The 2025 Cadillac XT4 delivers all that and more. Now available at Lawrence Hall Cadillac in Abilene, this compact luxury SUV is a standout choice for drivers in West Texas who want more than just a badge -- they want capability, comfort and confidence behind the wheel.

Curious how it compares to other options in the segment like the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLA? In this head-to-head contest of Cadillac vs. Mercedes-Benz, the XT4 easily triumphs over the GLA. We've lined up the details below to help you make an easy -- but fully informed -- choice.

XT4 vs. GLA Performance:
More Power, Smoother Drive

If performance matters, the 2025 Cadillac XT4 makes a strong case. Cadillac equips every XT4 with a 235-horsepower turbocharged engine and a 9-speed automatic transmission, which helps deliver smoother shifts and stronger passing power on those wide-open Texas highways.

The Mercedes-Benz GLA, while considered a premium model, comes up short with just 221 horsepower and a less refined 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. Both SUVs offer standard turbocharged engines, but only one gives you the extra punch and driving confidence of the XT4 -- something you'll appreciate every day when driving around Abilene and beyond.

How the XT4 vs. GLA Compare

The XT4 doesn't just lead in horsepower -- it pulls ahead in high-tech luxury, too. Step inside and you'll be greeted by a stunning 33-inch touchscreen display, standard on all 2025 XT4 trims. By comparison, the Mercedes-Benz GLA maxes out at a 10.25-inch screen, offering far less visual impact and user interface space.

Need room for passengers or gear? The XT4 delivers 39.5 inches of rear legroom and nearly 49 cubic feet of max cargo space, so whether you're commuting down Buffalo Gap Road or loading up for a road trip, you've got all the flexibility you need. Additionally, exclusive Cadillac features like Teen Driver technology give the XT4 an edge in family-friendly safety, especially for young drivers in training.
