Luxury SUVs like the BMW X3 and 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC offer a more stylish way to get to work, run errands, and take the kids to school. They're both excellent options for families in Chattanooga, Hixon, and Cleveland, TN.

Which one is right for you, though? To help you decide, BMW of Chattanooga looked at what each one can do for you in this 2021 BMX X3 vs. 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC comparison.

2021 BMX X3 vs 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC: Interior

Taking a seat in the BMW X3 or 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC is a lot like putting your feet up and relaxing in your favorite lounge chair. They both offer leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, and a classic leather-wrapped steering wheel.

The X3 is a better fit for taller drivers, though, thanks to its higher ceiling. It also offers more storage space in both the trunk and with the back seats folded down.

2021 BMX X3 vs 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC: Performance

Underneath their iconic front grilles, both the BMW X3 and 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC offer lots of engines to choose from. They're both built to offer the versatility of an SUV and the kind of handling and power you'd expect from a sports car.

BMW knows that getting there on time is just as important as getting there in style. That's why the X3 is designed to help you make fewer pitstops. Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine offers an efficient EPA-estimated 25 city/29 highway MPG. The X3 is even available with a hybrid powertrain that can help you drive further before you'll need to stop for gas.

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC also offers a hybrid engine, but its gas-powered options aren't quite as efficient. While it's equally equipped for highway driving, its EPA-estimated 22 city/29 highway MPG means you'll have to head to the gas station more often when you're driving around town.[i]

2021 BMX X3 vs 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC: Capability

A dependable SUV is always prepared for rough roads and extreme weather. The BMW X3 and 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC check both those boxes off with their available all-wheel-drive systems. They're designed to deal with everything, from snowstorms to dirt roads and trails.

The BMW also offers enough power to bring some extra cargo on those adventures. With all that power under the hood, the X3 can tow up to 4,400 pounds. That's enough to haul a heavy trailer, a couple recreational vehicles, or even a boat. Unfortunately, you won't be able to hitch as much cargo to the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC. It can only tow up to 3,500 pounds.
