Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Mercedes-Benz EQA
- Cabin quality — soft touch material of the dashboard and doorpads, good quality leather wrap for the steering. Feels properly luxurious!
- Features: twin 10.25” displays, 710W Burmester Sound System, panoramic sunroof, powered front seats — all that you realistically need
- Large 70.5kWh battery pack. Claimed range is upto 560km; expect ~450km in real world conditions.
Volkswagen Golf GTI
- Looks like a true hot hatch with its red accents, 18-inch alloy wheels, and red GTI badges.
- The 2-litre TSI engine making 265 PS and 370 Nm offers an exhilarating performance and its goes from 0-100kmph in just 5.9 seconds
- Handles like a pro and feels like it's hugging the road while cornering, which further inspires confidence and elevates your drive experience.

Mercedes-Benz EQA
- Lack of underthigh support in the rear due to raised floor.
- Shallow 340-litre boot is best suited for smaller trolley bags.
Volkswagen Golf GTI
- While the cabin does have soft touch materials, the plastics feel rough and do not feel right in this cabin. Not expected at this price point.
- It misses out on some features like leatherette seats, powered seats, and a branded sound system, all which are offered in much affordable cars.
