TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2016 Cadillac SRX smooths out the road ahead with a luxurious ride, smooth V-6 power, and the mixed blessing of touchscreen controls.

As a tangential—and far more sophisticated—replacement for the GLK, the savvy 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC is a far better match for American wants and needs.

TCC Likes

Strong, smooth power
A rolling technology showcars
Interior is distinctive, luxurious

More spacious cabin
Beautiful interior treatments
Improved (gasoline) fuel economy

TCC Dislikes

Brakes feel soggy
Fuel economy is below average
Heavy driving feel

Chiseled look is gone
Does it look too much like the larger GLE?
