2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC vs. 2018 BMW X3

Technology Highlights

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC continues to lead the segment when it comes to safety technology. As standard, ATTENTION ASSIST® monitors driving behavior and provides an alert if signs of drowsiness are detected, while Crosswind Assist detects and corrects the effects of strong side winds. The BMW X3 lacks those features, and it also misses the Mercedes-Benz’s available Wi-Fi hotspot.

Interior Space & Features

You’ll find several interior comfort features as standard in the Mercedes-Benz GLC but not the 2018 BMW X3, including:

• 12-way power seats
• Dual power headrests
• Dual power lumbar support

There’s also 37.3 inches of rear legroom, compare to just 36.4 inches in the BMW. Whether taking a short trip from Napa to Vacaville or traveling from Fairfield to Florida, you’ll appreciate the added space and comfort of the Mercedes-Benz GLC.

Warranty Coverage

Both of these German luxury SUVs come with generous warranty coverage, including:

• 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty
• 4-year/50,000-mile powertrain warranty

Price

Despite all the clear advantages for the Mercedes-Benz SUV listed above, the GLC is also more affordable than the X3:

• Mercedes-Benz GLC – MSRP from $40,050
• BMW X3 – MSRP from $42,650
