The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC is a best-seller because the company is able to make it as a great combination of style and versatility. It looks captivating but a lot would agree that it even more appealing inside with the load of technology that it is equipped with. Aside from the impressive features, it also performs with plenty of strength. These reasons make the GLC a practical choice.
If there is one brave enough to challenge the GLC, it is the 2020 Lincoln Aviator. It can be regarded as a relatively new vehicle since the last model year was released back in 2005. Let us see if its resurrection can make a difference with the GLC around.
Design & Style
What makes a versatile car fun is the fact that it can accommodate more design and styling details. The automakers surely had a great time designing the GLC and it shows. The LED lights and the iconic star badge are larger and it is perfectly fine. Even though it is a compact crossover, the GLC still looks voluptuous with the distinct Mercedes-Benz silhouette. As for its cabin, what can be sexier than a wood or metallic trim?
Most people may find it irksome to see some hints of both the Explorer and Navigator models on the Aviator. This means that you cannot expect for it to look unique on the road since it does not have a distinctive styling unlike the GLC.
Technology & Safety
The GLC is very generous with its array of infotainment and safety features. The built-in audio interface is more than enough to keep everyone entertained with superb sound quality. Likewise, the driver aids, specifically the adaptive cruise control, is top-of-the-notch so you can expect a safe ride without any hesitation.
The Aviator is sufficiently entertaining with the Sync 3 system for infotainment. Although having satellite radio, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a lot of charging options may sound techy, the safety features are not as advanced compared to the GLC.
Performance
The GLC drives surprisingly light. The 241 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque engine inspires enough confidence without lagging behind the competition. It accelerates extremely well and there is no problem with quick shifts as the car is very responsive.
The Aviator may have a V6 engine but it still significantly struggles at keeping a composed ride. The car’s size and weight are a definite concern when it comes to delivering a smooth performance.
The Bottom Line
The gorgeous 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC is one of the most practical choices for a compact crossover. The cutting-edge infotainment is more than enough reason to choose it rather than the 2020 Lincoln Aviator.
