Two SUVs with some similarities, but otherwise different in most aspects such as the model year, starting price, market segment, horsepower, fuel economy, and height. First of all, there is a notable difference in the starting price of the 2013 Ford Escape, which is $10,030 less than the base MSRP of the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class, which is three model years newer. Also, the 2016 GLA-Class has a more powerful engine than the 2013 Escape, but it gets 3 more miles on a gallon of fuel. In addition, the Escape has a slightly taller body than the GLA-Class. Among similarities are the body structure, ground shadow size, and maximum occupancy.
