    We are actively considering both the GLC and the X3 - you are 100% right, it really comes down to price and I agree with you, I actually enjoy driving and like feeling engaged as the driver. Maybe it’s because I’m older and grew up having to learn how to operate a vehicle without all the fancy tech. We had to know how to parallel park because the car couldn’t do it for us. We had to learn how to use our mirrors to change lanes and safe driving practices because there was no such thing as “lane assist.” I think the more aggressive styling of the BMW is attractive and appreciate that BMW is less expensive for an absolutely top notch driving experience. BMW is a winner for me. Thanks for the side by side comparison- really helpful!

      On a daily drive, the Mercedes soft suspension wins it for me. Harsh suspensions on the BMW becomes tiresome after a while.

    • @psanta33
      @psanta33 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      i believe the X3 is due for an update in 2025, including the iDrive8 system. If you care about having the latest, you may want to wait for that one. Current one is still very nice thought, especially if you like having climate buttons outside the screen.

      Stop being biased talking out your a** the cars are both from the same gen and same year. They just updated the x3 in 2022. BMW is very conservative and just decided to keep the same design concept with the x3. Don’t blame the guy saying it’s an older model because the Merc is nicer and you can’t except that fact because you own an x3.

    @pranavmankikar 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Thanks for the great, in-depth review Thomae! Question: is the rear steering and airmatic suspension really available in glc 300? I took a test drive of it here in Philadelphia last week, but didn't see that avaliable. Is it a EU only option?

  • @d.b.cooper4495
    @d.b.cooper4495 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    I was considering the GLC - the tech dazzled me! At my wife's insistence I went for a test drive of the X3 - no comparison. Exactly as you say, I was "driving" the X3, not being driven as in the GLC - and the tiny bit of turbo lag I experienced in the GLC was gone. It also felt more like I was driving a car than an SUV. I agree the steering on the X3 is, in my description, a bit "sloppy" in comfort mode but right on the button in sport, or as I keep mine now, in Individual Sport mode (surprised you didn't notice the difference in steering when in Sport Mode) . And.... strictly a vanity issue, but the Brooklyn Grey paint with the black trim package really dresses the X3 up.
    I just wish we had a autobahn here in Pennsylvania so I could try the speeds shown in the review!!
    Enjoyed your comparison very much -- Thanks

  • @user-jl2fy1ij1n
    @user-jl2fy1ij1n 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Good review, thank you. On this and other reviews you have done, the X3 has had the adaptive suspension. In the US, it is bundled into a "dynamic handling package" (DHP) along with bigger brakes and some kind of higher-tech steering. To get DHP, BMW also requires purchasing the M Sport package, so overall DHP costs about $4500 more on the 30i in the US (DHP is standard on the M40i). Is it worth getting on the 30i? Is the ride in comfort mode on bad roads (=most US roads) more comfortable or less comfortable with the adaptive suspension than without it? Perhaps you are not able to answer this if DHP is standard in Germany. But so far I have been unsuccessful in answering this question using US reviews, and get conflicting answers from forums. Thanks.

      I don’t know I thought the appearance (which for many is crucial) comparison was a little lacking. The x3 looks worse in every way. Exaggerated, dated, and almost cheap. The Mercedes, sleek, more symmetrical, and interesting front design.

    Hi Thomas! Excellent review, very entertaining and informative as usual!👍🏻
    As I’ve said a few times before, the new generation Mercedes switchgear (including steering wheel) is a complete regression/disappointment in functionality! Have they not been paying attention to reviewer and public rejection? The previous generation is so much more satisfying and safer to use from a lower driver distraction factor, with redundant tactile controls.
    So 4 cylinder only (engine sounds like an economy rental car) and poor switchgear engineering execution are 2 deal breakers too many. I cannot believe I am preferring a BMW, though I am all Audi at the moment. I do miss my former 2020 GLC43 very much (traded for larger Q8), what a great sporty fun SUV!
    I am done with Mercedes!

      yeah unfortunately BMW is headed in the same direction. Look at their new X1, no buttons at all, everything is either voice on in the layers deep screen, absolutely horrible decisions, let the most important buttons be tactile. I wish these things were mandated by regulations, purely because of how unsafe they are. Now is a good time to get the current BMWs before they all jump on the new idrive8 system. They also removed the dynamic select button from the center console in the idrive8 system on the new x1 :(

    Thanks again for another excellent detailed review. BMW (own) would still be my choice. GLC for looks/tech and X3 drive/ease. Another consideration is where you live, BMW XDrive is superior for driving in snow/rain. GLC would be a better choice in sunny and warmer climates.

I hate that big tablet and also a lot of cheap plastic on the midle console and those hideous fake exhausts. I deed not test drive-it so I can't say nothing about the way GLC drives. But I deed test-drived the Q5 an hour after the X3 and in my opinion the X3 is way better than the Q5 and more roomier inside. Congratulations again and all the best!👏

I prefer both the exterior design and the driving experience. The only thing I don’t like are the new X roof spoilers, they look if they’d belong to another car, and BMWs interior is good, but Audi and Mercedes are doing a better job.

I purchased the GLC and went back the follwoing year and purchased a GLA which I found to be smaller but quite comparable to the BMW X3. There was no single catagory in which the GLC did not outshine the BMW X3.

    I currently lease that X3, I lease a new vehicle every 3 years and my previous two leased vehicles have also been X3's. Two weeks ago, while on vacation, I ended up with a virtually new GLC as my rental, the GLC only had 4000kms on it. My current X3 lease is up in 1 year and I will be switching over to the GLC. The interior was much better and roomier, the seats a lot more comfortable. I am 6'1" with a bad hip, that was just replaced, and I prefer that GLC rental over my X3 for comfort. The driving ability of the GLC totally surprised me, the 9 speed shifted effortlessly. I could go on a lot more but for me that GLC rental sold me on Mercedes, almost to the point of I may return my X3 early and get a GLC.

    My choice would be the GLC. The styling is cleaner and more attractive, both inside and out. The BMW's styling is a bit busier which doesn't work for me. I had an X3 M40i and while it handled well, i never felt comfortable in the driver's seat and the ride was overly stiff where it didn't feel like a luxury car. I understand it's a "Jr M" car but it never felt relaxed enough.

On my friends recommendation I test drove 2023 X3 and X5, none of them had the features my existing GLC 2020 has lol and dashboard, screen and the whole feel of driving it was crappy. On top of that overpriced lacking the smart features. I ended up getting the GLC 300 2023 fully upgraded for the lesser price. Gonna stick with Benz for life, nothing beats the luxury and feel you get in Mercedes honestly. Yeah you can come back to me flexing beamer has more power and stuff. I mean i'm not getting a car to race but to drive comfortably with all safety features.

Didn't impact my decision as both brands sold in the same location by the same large dealership group here in the U.S. Lithia is the #1 publicly owned dealership group.
      I too, am of the older generation and prefer the simpler, less flashy BMW interior that still offers tactile controls verses the over-reliance on multi-level touchscreen controls. That too, was another reason we've ordered the 2023 x3 with iDrive 7 verses the upcoming x3 model.
