The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC is the pinnacle of choice and performance in the compact luxury SUV segment. It deploys many engine choices, two great body styles along with advanced tech an options that surpass the competition in terms of value and performance.
Here, we compare the 2022 Mercedes-Ben GLC with the 2022 Porsche Macan.
More performance choices under the hood of the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC
The GLC covers each and every need with three powertrains, starting with the powerful and efficient 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged unit that deploys 255 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. The Porsche Macan’s base 2.0-litre deploys a few more horses, but the latter is mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission, which is a disadvantage in terms of precision compared to the GLC’s 9-speed automatic. There’s also a price factor to consider: the base GLC starts at $49,900 whereas the base Macan starts much higher, at $58,500.
The Porsche Macan mid-range engine in the S, which only delivers 375 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, can’t catch up to the GLC’s next model, the AMG 43 4MATIC which is powered by a more powerful turbocharged 3.0-litre V6.
The top Macan GTS trim is powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 with only 434 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, but it falls way behind when compared to what comes next with the GLC.
The most powerful GLC is the AMG 63 S 4MATIC+. It uses a 4.0-litre turbocharged V8 to produce a whopping 503 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque – which is unprecedented for the segment.
