Design & Style
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class is a car that oozes with handsome appeal on the outside, combining rugged elements with extremely mesmerizing components. Inside it, you will see a roomy cabin that has comfortable front seats. These seats have 14-way power adjustments too. Materials quality wise, you will find soft-touch surfaces blending well with its upholstery and wood trim pieces.
The BMW X3, on the other hand, combines luxury and solidity on the outside. This sturdy car boasts its amount of cargo space which is truly impressive for its class. It has supportive and spacious seats too. This car looks good but it lacks the flair offered by its rivals.
Technology & Safety
The base trim for the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class comes packed with technology features that are part of the standard elements in modern cars, among them are the HD Radio, a Bluetooth® interface, and two USB ports. This also has incorporated a seven-inch touchscreen display for its infotainment system. Safety aids include active brake assist, crosswind assist, and driver drowsiness monitor, among others.
The 2020 BMW X3, on the other hand, is gifted with a 6.5-inch touchscreen in its iDrive infotainment interface. This system takes a lot of learning curve, though. Also, it does not offer Android Auto support, and while it does have Apple CarPlay integration, this comes free for only a year. Advanced driver aids include pedestrian detection, traffic sign recognition, and forward collision warning.
Performance
The GLC reaches up to 241 horsepower for its four-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine. For the BMW X3, results for its four-cylinder engine generates 248 horsepower. Despite that, the X3 does not really impress with its lack of nimble handling.
