2020 BMW X3 vs 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC

Serving Chattanooga, TN

While the BMW X3 has been a popular model in the compact luxury crossover class for many years, the Mercedes-Benz GLC was only introduced a few years. Now that you are preparing to make your next SUV purchase, a deeper understanding of these models' differences is in order. A review begins with a look at the price. This reveals that the X3's base price is slightly lower than the GLC's starting price. What are their other critical differences?

Exterior

The 2020 BMW X3 is a vision of athleticism and class from front to rear. The tall roof ensures ample space in the cabin. Its height is moderated by gentle curvature and integrated roof rails. Small air vents near the front wheel fenders and a prominent scoop through the side doors enhance the X3's appearance from the side view. Additional features on the X3 include a chrome-on-black grille, LED headlights, and dual exhaust tips flanking a rear skid plate. The GLC for 2020 has a narrower feel through the front end related to a more substantial angle through the hood. The sides show traditional contouring and lower body molding. Additional features on the GLC's exterior are LED lights and metallic accent pieces.

Interior

The X3's interior is both functional and modern. The rear row easily folds flat as needed, and the front row has powered and heated seats. You can access the paddle shifters, Bluetooth tech, advanced cruise control, and more on the heated steering wheel. The touch display screen and the digital interface for the climate control system elevate the cabin's contemporary feel. On the other hand, the 2020 GLC's interior has some of the same features with a different overall look. For example, the display screen floats on top of the center stack. The climate system's controls are a series of buttons, and the steering wheel lacks paddle shifters.

Safety

Several assistive safety technologies are offered or included in both of these luxury crossovers. For the 2020 X3, these features include active blind spot detection, active driving assist, lane departure sensing, and more. The GLC's safety items could consist of side blind spot assist, and lane change assist.
