The Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class competes often with the BMW X3 for luxury buyers.
The X3 is similarly comfortable with great powertrains, including an X3 M with power beyond anything the GLC offers.
The Volvo XC60’s interior is on par with the GLC’s excellence, although its infotainment system is beginning to feel dated.
The Audi Q5 is conservatively styled, but its powertrain may be a little more refined than the GLC’s turbo-4.
The smallest Range Rover, the Evoque, has tons of curb appeal (and badge appeal) and is much improved over its first generation.
The Lincoln Corsair has a hushed interior and strong turbo-4 pull, as well as a rare plug-in hybrid edition.
