2015 Porsche Macan Turbo vs. 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG

If you’re in the market for a compact sporty SUV (or CUV) that fits your lifestyle and have $50,000+ to burn, here are your two best options. For me, I go with the Porsche Macan. Looks, style, and performance meets all my requirements.

Jonny Lieberman travels out to the wilds of the Anza Borrego desert with the goal of figuring out which small, sporty, pricey, German SUV is best: the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG or the Porsche Macan Turbo. But it’s not the off-road trails that Jonny’s interested in – the AMG may very well be allergic to dirt – but rather the serpentine road that climbs up, and then up some more. These two may look like SUVs, but they’re much closer to sports cars. Packing 400-horsepower, will the Porsche’s 45-horsepower advantage beat out the smaller, lighter, and still plenty powerful, GLA45? Or will the jacked-up red hatchback from Affalterbach put a beat-down on a genuine Porsche Turbo? There’s only one way to find out!
