2 Answers
The differences between the GLC300 Sport and Luxury models lie in their front and rear tire specifications: the GLC300 Sport model has front and rear tire specifications of 235/55R19, while the Luxury model has front and rear tire specifications of 255/45R20. Both the GLC300 Sport and Luxury models share the same body dimensions: a length of 4764 millimeters, a width of 1898 millimeters, a height of 1642 millimeters, a wheelbase of 2973 millimeters, a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters, and a trunk capacity of 580 liters. Both the GLC300 Sport and Luxury models are equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 190 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 370 Newton-meters, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
I usually commute to work in a GLC 300 Sport model, which feels more agile in steering with a firmer suspension setup, making city turns effortless. However, it can be a bit bumpy on long-distance drives over rough roads. I've ridden in the Luxury version a few times—it has better sound insulation, softer seats, and feels like sitting on a sofa at high speeds, though the power response is slightly slower. The Sport model features AMG-style wheels and a black grille, giving it a cooler look, while the Luxury version stands out with its chrome accents and interior trimmed in soft plastics and leather, offering a smooth touch. Maintenance costs are similar, with just a few thousand dollars separating the two. If the budget allows, the Luxury version is the top choice for family use, while the Sport model is more practical and economical for singles or young people. The Luxury version also comes with adaptive headlights for enhanced nighttime safety.
