Limited visibility
Few advanced safety features

The 2020 Ford Ecosport is not particularly good value, not particularly efficient, and not particularly good.

Pros
City-friendly size
Spacious enough interior
Back seat head room
Upmarket stereo available

Cons
Sluggish acceleration
So-so fuel economy
Poor safety scores
Bargain-bin interior trim

Everything. The new Mercedes-AMG GLA35 and GLA45 are based on the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA-class, which is a ground-up redesign.The Mercedes-AMG GLA-class is offered in both GLA35 and GLA45 guise, and both come standard with a host of performance features that turn up the heat on the Benz-branded GLA250. All-wheel drive is standard, as is a sport-tuned suspension. Pricing and option packages haven't yet been officially released, so we aren't sure which one represents the best value. But, that 382-hp version of the GLA's turbo-four makes the GLA45 model the most compelling from a performance standpoint.
