@Akhtar E Aza Maybe you have not understood. It is US who posted a message to warn of scam. Do you really think we would pay someone to click our video and spend so much time and effort to report and block fraud people? We are the victim's of these frauds as well. That's why we highlight that. Report the scammers, not the channel/video!!
@Sai Phani Utkarsh Kethana highly appreciated!

This is an excellent review of these cars. Very informative - and the information is of the type that is worthwhile to know when making a choice between these two vehicles. Again, very helpful and well done.
Great review as always.
Fair, thorough and balanced! Very nice job!!
Another great informative review Thomas. I don’t know how you keep motivated but I’m glad you do
thanks so much! e.g. by these comments :)
VERY GOOD review as usual Thomas keep going on
I love how this is a side by side comparison instead of just combining your two previous reviews of those two cars.
in your service!
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!
Thanks keep tuning in!
I have the X3, see review above, the GLC seats a lot more comfortable
On a daily drive, the Mercedes soft suspension wins it for me. Harsh suspensions on the BMW becomes tiresome after a while.
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.
X4 ftw. I did test drive GLC 2023 and my wife who pays attention to details discovered it was full of plastic inside, front and rear. mercedes looks shiny to catch your eye but it's just going down in quality
I went with the GLC. The tech and comfort won the day.
Obviously everything is better on GLC because its new model,BMW is just facelift
Best comparison video. Detailed explanation. Good
Great Chanel Thomas and Your team. I love watch Your car tests. Thanks a lot!
Highly appreciated 👍👍
Thank you for giving information ☺️
I have the X3 M40i LCI and its a superb car. But comparing an „old“ X3 with a brand new GLC is difficult. Maybe wait until 2024 when the new X3 comes out. Great review, thanks and danke Thomas
Thanks 🙏
Won’t happen lol they face lifted in 2022, next one is gonna be in 2025-2026
@@jiaxuan4726 Yeah LOL 🙄 I know they facelifted the current one, I was writing that in my comment. LCI (google it if you don't know what it means) And the new version (brand new one) will be in 2024-2025. So please inform yourself before posting stupid "lol" comments
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.
I have a BMW x3 M in Carbon Black. It´s amazing. I felt in love with the look of the new X3. I prefer BMW than Mercedes.
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?
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
thanks for the feedback, appreciated !
Love your review the best ever
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.
Great review Thomas. Felt in love with the Look of new GLC. I am getting my Mercedez GLC delivered in april-2023. Looking forward to drive the beauty 😍
cool enjoy =)
When did you order ? I order in Jan but looks like it will be ready in the fall , that’s why I’m considering the bmw x3
@@griselgomez1 ordered mine in march got in may 2
I have one right now. ambient lighting, auto parking, it does spoil you for sure.
So I am torn between an X3 20d which is available right now and the new GLC which won't be launched in India for at least another 5-6 months ...do you guys think it's worth the wait and that much better than X3? How much sportier is the new GLC compared to the older one ?
Hi, Thomas! How would you rate them in terms of “off-road-nish-ness”? Thanks p.s.: I’ve been following the channel for ages, love it! Your simplicity and attention to detail and thorough examination are the best in the YT world! Keep them videos coming! All the best. auf Wiedersehen! 😊
Every review becomes better and better the new text for length and etc, perfectly done but of course.. as usual 😄😉
BTW is it just me, or i love BMW wheel arches when they are not aimple circles but rather cooler form
highly appreciated !
Good information...... pls make more these types of videos.❤
Thanks 🙏 also check pinned comment please
Great review, Thomas. Interesting comparison, and it's really tough to decide between the two. As for noise insulation, perhaps get a sound meter to measure the noise at speed?
thanks! It's always tough indeed because the sound meter changes according to the specific road, weather and also the height in the vehicle (so where you exactly place it).
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.
Thomas . interesting comparison.and its Really tough to decide between tha two. As for Noise insulation,perhaps get a sound metre to measure tha noise at speed
Thanks so much for the detailed comparison. I was in a dilemma before watching this review, now i'm leaning towards the GLC. I have a few days to make my final decision but i feel like i have so much clarity now.
After some thought, I'd choose the Bimmer, because I enjoy driving. Tough decision!
Great review!
Thanks 😊
Very nice comparison ❤
Hi Thomas, I watched this video over and over again. I was considering btw X3 X5 Glc Gle. I love both Bs, and want to buy one right away but decided to wait till next X3 2024 reveals.
Expecting a lot for the next video.
I felt in love with the look of the new BMW model..❤
.
Car interior design aww so classy ❤
Great Reviews
Amazing video.
One additional factor to consider...that I rarely see mentioned in comparison reviews - if "all else is equal" in your comparison analysis; where is the nearest dealer and what is their reputation?
Not a fan of SUV’s. But both are beautiful. If I had to choose. I have to go with BMW. My first BMW was a 1984 E30. I bought new. I am a BMW lifer. Another great review. ❤
The Ambient lighting in the GLC looks amazing!! I didn't think I would feel this way, but I love the vertical screen in the GLC. Wow!!
GLC is just WoW 👌
Excellent review
Highly appreciated !
Look so nice Video review 👍
I drive both since the 90s. I always got a Mercedes and a BMW in my garage. Now I have a BMW X1 and Mercedes GLC. I really love the driving experience of a bimmer, ma interiors and that plush feeling in a Mercedes is much better.
Thomas, which infotainment/digital instrumentation system do you like better between iDrive8 and the new Mercedes system with the portrait display?
Mercedes is absolutely gorgeous
As always - great review, Thomas! The best combination for me would be the interior of GLC, 6 cyl. petrol engine from X3 M40i and the body from RSQ3 sportback. I'd love it and buy it ASAP
cheers! hehe good idea
This is amazing. 😮😮
I love my 2022 X3 ❤ amazing car and pure joy driving it. Better of road than GLC or Q5
Great review as always Thomas! Can't wait to see you review the Macan GTS in Python Green. I think you would look great with green pants :)
Oh I just realized that you do have a review of the green Macan GTS but you wore black pants :(
cheers m8 !
hehe
I drive the X3 and I’m very happy with this lovely car :-) it’s a great review and comparison between both great German made in USA cars
👍👍👍
Sorry, the GLC ist built in Bremen, Germany
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!
Ya indeed
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.
thanks keep tuning in !
Nice review again Thomas and nice mention of Volvo xc60 comfort
cheers Chris !
We've had 3 Volvo wagons in the past...1980, 2005 and most recently 2015. I wish I could have those seats in our new BMW; Volvo has the best seats and I drove vehicles for a 7 car line new car dealership for six years!
Indeed a tough decision ... It clearly depends on your personal need. Buying a car is based on feelings and emotions! Well done Thomas!
thanks! Keep supporting us :)
The X3 folding and unfolding its side mirrors at the end is saying, "Pick me, pick me!"
😁
The BMW is very masculine and Benz is more feminine - plus, I love the fancy interior, so I’ll take the GLC. 😊
How are the comparison of the noise while at high speeds? Particularity the wheel noise
Congratulations for the review, Thomas! I have already chose the X3 . I don't like de interior of the GLC. 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!👏
Thanks my friend and enjoy!
Thank you for nice video Thomas. I get my new X3 xDrive 30e next Monday. I've had several cars over the years. Next is number 39 and the my first BMW.
thanks! Enjoy :)
Best vedio ❤
GLC is fancy, comfort and high tech. X3 is sporty, power and muscular. I pick X3.
Mans car always wins
A star is a STAR
Good information video.... pls make more these type of videos❤
I have the last X3 Hybride. Sportive exterior shape compare to the GLC and far better than the old Q5.
I don't care if they "augment" or pump in sound through the speakers. You should always be able to turn it off so when you're playing music its not intruding.
I wonder if the center pad is working in summer when the sun is shining right on it for 2 hours or so.
Drive both..
G L C was the winner by far !!
Autogefühl at it’s best, another great and comprehensive review! Macan is the King ;-) But if I had to choose between these two, I’d get the BMW. 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.
Thanks Thomas 😎
Very nice review.
Thanks 🙏

Excellent!!!

Amazing
The GLC interior design is a pinstriped suit with a bright blue handkerchief in the pocket.
I shopped all of the upscale SUVs and found that, for me, the top 3 were MB GLC, Audi Q5 & BWM X3. 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.
After my truck was stolen, I have spent weeks trying to research what vehicle to move on to. This channel has been a wonderful resource in narrowing down what to look for that might work best for me! Looking forward to testing out these two plus a Q5 in the near future!
Q5 is not good enough atm. Only real top 3 is the Merc and BMW. Notable mentions are Lexus NX and the RR Velar
welcome!
@@marantamil459 I agree. I had a Q5, coming from the new XC60 and sold it after 6 months. Bought an LCI X3 and night and day comparison to the Q5. Much better interior and quality and a lot better drive and much more comfortable than the Q5.
We went with the GLC AMG, and we love it!
Excited to drive
I’m looking forward to the day you can review the refreshed EQC with the iX. I’m interested in purchasing one or the other. 43:21
The EQC is dead. It is discontinued
Where in Deutschland did you shoot this video?
Very good!!!
Thank you Thomas it’s me again Alice I do like the Mercedes but I much prefer the BMW I prefer things to be more manual but you can touch and you’re not over powered by all this project technology maybe I’m a little too old but certain things I’ve been looking for you’ve done a great job Thomas and explaining a lot of these things thank you
Thanks 🙏
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.
glc is garbage bro
Also debating between the 2, currenty driving a Acura mdx. Might try Lexus rx also or wait for a new one.
@@Windsofchange2023 acura is garbage bro
@@sknails2723 yes im not very happy with mine… mainly its a gas guzler v6 and the interior isnt that nice at all
@@Windsofchange2023 Don't get the GLC, It's garbage and slow with a 4 cylnder. The x3 is also larger than the GLC so not sure what the guy was babbling about being 6 1 lol
A lot of reflections of internal lights in the windscreen when in the tunnel in the GLC!
I love this trend of putting cables and plug ins next to cup holders. What could go wrong? 😂
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.
except on the inside the GLC is full of plastics.
Styling looks like a girls car on the Mercedes. The 4 Cylinder must fit your girly personality. The X3 is very comfortable. I haven't driven this new GLC, but the last GLC was not comfortable at all compared to the X3 tbh...Also the X3 is getting a full redesign in 2024-25
@@pete64041 oh look. You must have been bullied as a child and now you make childish little comments. Poor thing.
I have both in 2023…. Got the GLC for my wife but unfortunately I find myself driving that more. It is better than the X3. Only diehard BMW fans don’t want to accept the truth. In the GLC I feel like I am driving my money’s worth. Don’t mind people talking about plastic on the inside, they are talking rubbish. The rear axis wheel is amazing. The drive assist is sweet. BMW went better with X5 and X6 only. X3 is behind
@@michaelmarkson8837 I sat in the new one yesterday. It's okay, but that 4 cylinder engine is a no no. A luxury car from the point of smoothness, can never match a 6. Plus, the X3 will be redesigned this year with a similar x5/x6 interior
I had a BMW X3 in 2018. The driving experience was great and no mild issues. Now I have the GLC 300, the tech and comfort was beyond the BMW so i would go for the GLC 300.
sound insulation? tyre noise comparison?
I liked the interior of the previous glc
Mercedes interior is sooo classy, so beautiful I forgot the X3 completely. I already use it because I have a C300 at home with the same features though this Glc is better. Fantastic, it’s on my Christmas list 😅
GLC any day. I was buying a new car last week upgrading from GLC 300 2020 to something new. 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.
Totally agree 👍 GLC wins hands down
X3 because of the interior (don’t like the position of the big screen in the GLC)
I was choosing between BMW, Mercedes, VW and Audi. And the cars were pretty similar for me. But eventually I have chosen BMW, because at some point I just realized that I always liked BMW more than any other brands. I just asked one simple question: if I buy Audi/VW/Mercedes, will I regret that I did not buy BMW?
Literally 16 hours ago I started comparing these two models as I am planning to buy one.
I'm all in for X3's exterior but when it comes to interior and modern technology, GLC wins.
And now I do have a real problem as there's no good solution to it.
read my review above
X3 is old get the glc
And if your analysis ends in a tie...don't forget about your local dealership for each; its location and servicer reputation. 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.
Х3 надёжнее
Buy the GLC.. I had one and exactly happy to bought..
Good job
Thanks 🙏
Thomas, what watches do you wear on your hand while you’re driving? Is this German brand Braun? It would be great if you could let me know. Thank you.
Thanks 🙏 Alpina it is
Love the video!!
I would pic the GLC. X3 seems to be too dated.
I would pic a fully equipped GLC without the AMG trim.
Thanks 🙏
I though these same until go and see them on alive. X3 is much nicer looking. Also Mercedes is stinking like cheep car, no offence but it is true. X3 have much more space than glc. In Mercedes i felt like in one size smaller car than BMW.
@@marcinstadnik1712 I have seen the press car so far. So forst impressions were amazing. Technology is like no other. I do agree quality of interior materials needs to improve on the mercedes. However ride quality during long journeys should also be taken into consideration. You will not feel tired when you drive the mercedes long distance, when compared to the BMW.
Not sure if it's US spec only but our facelift G01 has gauge cluster carplay integration.
oh really? Let me recheck.
Very _____ nice and comparison, ❤
cheers!
So for ride quality which is better? Where's the most comfortable place to be?
This is what this review is about going in-depth 😅
Nice one
Width of the trunk in the BMW is a lot less, bc of the shape of the entrance if you want to load a wide object. Had that same problem with my Volvo XC60.
Hi Thomas from Houston, USA. Love the X3, my next car after my 328i retires
best greetings!
comparison between facelift GLE and X5 would definitely the one this year
Sure!
@@autogefuehl so which facelift would you pick this year, X5 or GLE?
Very nice
outstanding
In the US you can get the inline 6 in the BMW - which is one of the best engines ever made. So its a pretty easy decision if you are okay with spending more. The Mercedes inline 6 is also really good I hear. But not available in the GLC.
