The Mercedes GLC is an all around good car with great utility and quality. A bit surprised that it managed to beat the BMW X3, BMW series usually wins because of how it drives.
Even if it isn't meant for offroad, I still think that the GLC gets points for being more versatile. I was surprised at what they said about the NX interior. Wasn't expecting plastics like that.The BMW X3 xDrive28i probably lost by a hair's breadth as the only issue they pointed out was a firm suspension and it's lack of off road capabilities. It's supposed to be a paved road specific car so off rod functions aren't exactly a necessity.
Close call with the Range Rover Evoque too since the review has plenty of positive things to say about it.
Still, the GLC came out on top; better suspension and equipment at a more affordable price.
That's what I was thinking as well. Both are priced in such a way pricing is out of the picture, creates space to start thinking about more important things like features and what really impacts your experience as an owner.How do you figure that? They are pretty close in price both in base and loaded out.
One of the reasons why I like to wait for real owners to report on their experience, especially with those long term reviews since it exposes a lot of things. But that's a long way out.most of the "professional" reviews agree that the GLC comes out on top for the very reasons called out in this article. I won't have mine for about a month![]()
Asking this on a Mercedes forum you will get a bias towards MB.Hi all,
I am in decision making mode.
Test drove the BMW X3/X4 and GLC.
All a step up from my current vehicle.
It's a hard choice. I do prefer the drive of BMW's and their infotainment system....
But their interior and exterior are old design.
I think a next gen X3 will be killer...... but as of now I'm leaning towards the glc.
Also here a glc with my preferred options is cheaper than an equivalent BMW.
