How to Choose Between the X3 and GLC260L?
2 Answers
Choose according to your personal needs and preferences. Below are the relevant introductions of the Mercedes-Benz GLC260L and BMW X3: 1. Mercedes-Benz GLC260L: First, its appearance is dignified and grand, with a business attribute, and the sense of grade is very good. Secondly, the interior workmanship and materials are luxurious, especially after the facelift, the wheelbase has been lengthened, and the space performance is also one of its biggest selling points. It is equipped with a 2.0T engine, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.4 seconds, and comes standard with a full-time four-wheel drive system. 2. BMW X3: What stands out most is its handling, which can be said to have no rivals in its class, and its appearance is more individual and stylish. The new BMW X3 still has a rugged style in appearance, and the interior does not have too many highlights, but it does not look cheap either, with excellent workmanship and materials. In addition, its 2.0T power has a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.9 seconds, and the driving experience is good.
I just test drove these two SUVs, and to be honest, the X3 offers a more direct driving feel with precise steering feedback, especially inspiring confidence when cornering. The Mercedes-Benz GLC260L feels softer to drive, with less bumpiness over speed bumps but slightly slower power response. If you drive mostly in the city, the X3's handling will feel more effortless; but if you frequently encounter traffic jams, the GLC's comfortable seats are better suited for long-distance driving. Fuel consumption is quite similar for both, averaging around 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers, so there's not much difference in my daily commuting costs. One thing to note: BMW maintenance costs are slightly higher, so you'll need to budget a bit more. Overall, it comes down to personal preference: choose the X3 for sportiness or the GLC for relaxation.
