Expert advice comparing the 2024 Mercedes GLC and 2024 BMW X3's technology, interior, mpg, safety and specs.
The Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class and BMW X3 are two of the most popular luxury SUVs, let alone the compact SUV segment in particular. Hailing from two of the most recognizable and respected luxury brands, it’s not surprising that car shoppers so frequently turn to the GLC and X3 when seeking a more premium small SUV. That does not mean you should only look at this pair , but they are unquestionably solid choices.
Which has a nicer interior? Winner: Mercedes GLC We’d say the GLC’s more recent redesign benefits here, but the last-generation GLC had a nicer interior than the X3, too. The new one, however, manages to stand out in terms of both technology and traditional luxury. The broad swath of wood or other trim across the dash, the clicky circular air vents and touchscreen rising out of the center console are equal parts elegant and cool.
Which is safer? Winner: Tie The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named both SUVs a Top Safety Pick+ for their best-possible crash test scores, plus sufficiently high scores for its headlights and frontal crash prevention system . If you just looked at the specs, you’d see the X3 has 28.7 cubic-feet while the GLC has 21.9. Easy conclusion, right? Wrong. Mercedes measures its cargo areas differently, with the result being it actually has more space than its rather paltry figure would suggest. Our luggage test of the GLC revealed it could seven suitcases with room to spare, or more than everything in the segment except the RDX and XC60.
Fuel economy for the high-performance AMG GLC 43 is 21 mpg combined. The X3 M40i returns 23 mpg combined, so there’s one in the MPG Win Column for BMW.Which is more powerful? Winner: Mercedes GLC Both are offered in three models that correspond with a different engine. The GLC wins every time. Finally, the AMG GLC 63 S E Performance has that same bonkers 2.0-liter turbo-four, but with a “performance” hybrid system that upgrades “bonkers” to an “absurd” 671 hp and 752 lb-ft of torque. In a compact SUV! AMG says it’ll hit 60 in 3.4 seconds. The X3 M has a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six available in two flavors. The standard version produces 473 hp and 457 lb-ft, and hits 60 in 3.9 seconds. The X3 M Competition has 503 hp, 479 lb-ft and a 3.7-second 0-60 time.
