If you’re planning to drive a luxury SUV around Westchester County, Yonkers, and Hartsdale, New York, you’ll want to be driving the 2022 BMW X3 or the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC. Either model offers the power and style a driver like you might want.

However, as you’ll see in this BMW X3 vs. Mercedes-Benz GLC comparison, we think one may be better suited to your needs. Find out which with the help of BMW of Westchester!

Take On the Road Ahead

For a relaxing ride around town, either SUV is sure to suit you. They both come standard with admirable powertrains that supply just the level of power you’re looking for. Both equipped with a 2.0L 4-cylinder motor, their base models provide similar levels of output.

Those looking for some extra kick when they hit the gas will likely find more to enjoy with the BMW X3, thanks to the 3.0L 6-cylinder engine available with this model. When properly equipped, the BMW X3 can reach up to 503 horsepower. The best the Mercedes-Benz GLC can offer is only up to 255 horsepower.

For quick acceleration, the BMW X3 is the way to go. This vehicle can accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH in just under four seconds. The best the Mercedes-Benz GLC can offer is an acceleration from 0 to 60 MPH in over six seconds.

Room To Relax

Both the 2022 BMW X3 and the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC are designed to be exceptionally comfortable inside. Offering high-class upholstery and multi-zone climate control, these SUVs are made to offer an unbelievably comfortable ride experience.

However, when you invite your friends and family along for your ride, you’ll want to be sure that your SUV’s cabin can accommodate you. Although both the X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC have seating for up to five inside, you will find some differences in their dimensions.

For instance, in the front row of the BMW X3, riders can expect to enjoy 41.1 inches of headroom. Your tallest passengers may feel more cramped inside the Mercedes-Benz GLC since this model has only 37.8 inches of headroom.

Pack Up the Essentials

With such exciting performance abilities and a comfortable cabin, you’re bound to spend a lot of time on the road with your SUV. Whether heading to the country club to play a few rounds of golf or out on a weekend road trip, which SUV has the cargo space you’ll need?

You can easily pack your golf clubs and gear into the back of the BMW X3 since it has 28.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear row. Since the Mercedes-Benz GLC has a slightly smaller truck, with just 19.4 inches of cargo space available, you may need to leave a few things behind with this SUV.

Both SUVs allow you to fold the rear row down flat to maximize your cargo capacity, but where the X3 offers up to 62.7 cubic feet the Mercedes-Benz GLC has only 56.5 cubic feet.
