Having owned both, your observations are spot-on. The GLC skews more to the luxury side of the equation, while the Q5 is a bit sportier, with more features for your buck. I prefer the refinement of the Mercedes, but a good argument to be made for either option depending on your priorities.

I will go with the Audi. I love your channel. 🇳🇬🇳🇬

Would love to see a comparison between the BMW X3, Audi Q5, and the Mercedes GLC 300. Ideally the AWD variants of each. Trying to decide which one to get!

Very good comparison. Wife is looking at both and doesn't know which one she wants. Goes to show, different reviewers have different points of view cause I saw so many cons against the Audi, but I can tell her about this comparison and the Audi may not be a waste of money.

Easily one of the best, most helpful, detailed, and concise car reviews I have seen. Thank you!

Great video guys! Love the side by side split screen comparison.

Great video - so helpful to see this side by side comparison. Excellent analysis and breakdown. Thanks so much for making this earlier - more vids like this are extremely helpful !!

exactly the review I needed! thanks!

My money is on the Q5!

I have been waiting for these two comparison and finally you fulfil my desire. Thank u car confection. Next time e class vs a6 pls

Great video again guys! I actually just bought a pre-owned Q5 premium plus that I love. I never thought I would own a 4 cylinder car again but there is more than enough power for sure. I did watch your other Q5 video and it did give me some great help about some of the features. Thanks again!

I love comparison videos

Thankyou for review the cars and the prices it really help out a lot . Thank my friend you are doing great

I like the Mercedes design better and I actually don’t mind the fake leather it feels good and last longer than anything else

Amazing comparison and I like the points system. Great work!

Yeah I like the q5 for sure!!

Finally you made a comparison

We just picked up (literally less than 4 hours ago) a 2021 Mercedes GLC 300 4Matic for my wife, she upgraded from a 2020 GLA 4Matic. Yesterday, I drove my mom's 2020 Audi Q5 again. I thought, "Holy s! I love this car so much, maybe we need to give Audi a try before getting another Benz!" Again, the Audi I drove yesterday is a 2020. The Mercedes is a 2021 so take that as you will (there are significant differences between the 2020 & 2021 Audi). Although I love the Audi in almost every way, the Mercedes is just a nicer vehicle to be in and to drive. Its not as sporty as the Audi, but the Audi seems to be less sporty than it thinks it is, I felt like it was going to handle better. It actually wasn't noticeably better than the GLC, although they were different driving conditions so this isn't a scientific comparison. There is more feedback from the wheel in the Audi, but I don't think it was in a good way. Overall I felt that the Benz had more accurate steering and was a far better vehicle to drive. Handling wise, neither is anything to write home about but, they're SUV's so I'd say above average overall for both. In my (admittedly biased) opinion, the Mercedes seems to be a nicer vehicle by a somewhat significant margin, but the Audi is great too. Ultimately, you won't disappointed with either decision. Like everything else in life, it comes down to personal preferences. If you really like the styling of the Audi that much more, get it. It's not a bad decision. If you like the ride and interior of the Mercedes a lot more, get it. Point is, they're both great cars and you'll likely be happy with either one.

I don't usually give likes but you definitely deserve it. Straight to the point, which surprisingly enough it's hard to see nowadays!

Thanks for the review. I currently own an Audi A4. Which I love, but want to go with an suv now. I just don’t like the exterior of the Q5 even the SQ5- kinda boring. So I’m looking at the glc coupe. Just think it looks so much more stylish and sporty.

Have the 2021 GLC 300 MB in Black and love everything about it and it is a great looking ride,

I just like the Mercedes styling better

Very good review Very well detailed Congrats

Thanks for the very informative video

GLC looks better to me. Both the exterior and interior are superior imo.

Great car review have seen here on YT, keep up

We need more of these videos!!! Please keep making these comparisions!

Can’t go wrong with Audi or Mercedes

I think the only reason why people buy the GLC is because it appears to be a little bit more stylish than the Q5. However than again the Q5 looks good as well. But the GLC definitely gets pricey when you build comparing to the Q5.

Hey guys thank you for making our Sunday..... Funday....👍🏻😊🤩

Pls compare 2021 Q5 vs 2021 XC60 again. I know u did it in 2018 but there are now changes within these years.

Just bought the Q5! Best purchase!!!

I think the sound system test is superfluous as it really depends on what system the viewer is using.

Both are better than the Acura RDX

Great review guys😉

Absolutely awesome comparison y’all! I definitely think the Q5 offers the better value of the 2 here as it had more features, for less money. Also, not having the safety features standard in 2021 isn’t okay in my opinion!😸😸

Features/Add-ons: You get more features/add-ons for the same $ amount in Audi Q5 than Mercedes GLC. Interior & Luxury: GLC has more luxurious interiors than Q5. Sportiness: Unless you go with the AMG version of GLC, Audi Q5 is more sportier than GLC. So, it boils down to individual preferences - Luxury Vs Sportiness for the $ amount you pay.

The glc has better interior design and interior perceived quality for sure.

Audi definitely

I’ll take the Audi

Absolutely spot on! I own both of them. However I found out that my GLC 300, 2023 is not as well sound insulated as my Q5 2021 ( measure them at the same situation). I’m kinda of biased, as I’ve been owning Q5’s for the last 13 years (I’m my 3rd one😂) for me I would say that they are different cars. While the GLC 300 is more luxurious, the Q5 is more sportive and delivers the job done. I can feel the shift and gear changing more on the Mercedes than in the Q5. But maybe, that’s just me right?😂😂 Also, the sound quality my Q5 is quite superior to the GLC 300 coupe.

Between those, I would go for the GLC. But in that segment and price range my choice is the Alfa Romeo Stelvio

Q5 all day!

I bought an Audi Q3 and I love it so much!

great review. The GLC interior crushes Q5. It's so outdated... I am having a hard time deciding

Merc all the way. Just ordered my GLC. I really don't see the Q5 having the 'clear' win here. Merc just looks infinitely better in every way. The sportier feels in Q5 and X3's are for people that clearly need to compensate as that is literally the only edge both brands have over a GLC.

Please do a Ford F 150 limited review next please!!!

I love my q5 quatro

wow nice comparison

If I'm not mistaken there is a wireless charger in the GLC as well.

My colleagues Q5 had a total engine blowup just after two years while my GLC had no issues whatsoever during same time. I am glad I opted foe the GLC (although I don’t have the facelift model)

No doubt the Q5 is the king

Based on your 4 points, I put 6 points more on glc because of name and star. So yeah, bought 2022 glc 300

How much of a step up would one of these be from a Mazda CX-5?

Hey guys great video! How about now take the winner and compare it to the X3 xdrive? Best luxury compact SUV...just a thought. Love the channel

I much prefer the blind spot indicator on the Audi than the MB ones.

Both are very awesome cars very good quality and fun to drive Mercedes if you want to feel comfortable and audi if you like to drive around more

Quattro vs. 4matic = day & night. Quattro is hands down the best 4 wheel drive system. I own both brands and live in NY. It was scary to drive the Benz through the last snow storm.

I think glc works better in black

great comparison but I love my benz!!!

I have an X3 and have been considering upgrading to either the Q5 or the GLC. One thing I hate about my X3 is I find my back starts to hurt after drives more than 2 hours. Curious if anyone can comment on either of these models and comfort?

we have the 2021 glc 300 amg sport , and we had 2 previous audis and the both required a litter of Oil every 1500 kms , and Audi would not do anything for us telling us that was normal...never again and we love our Mercedes....

Have been stuck with which one I should buy. I like the GLC but when he said the Mercedes seats were not leather that was a deal breaker. Why pay premium price but features are less than premium. You guys killed it as usual. Awesome video!

I just rented a Q5 while on vacation. Absolutely loved that vehicle. But wouldn’t trade it for the Lexus that I own.

Doug Demuro “BUMPER TO BUMPER”

Until they Redesign the GLC, im going w the Q5.

Спасибо за обзор. Всё понятно и по существу. У меня GLC 300, но хочу купить AUDI Q5. Теоретически - Mercedes солиднее, но AUDI спортивнее. Попробую обе машины, сравню, поделюсь своим мнением 😉

If purchasing the Audi will retain value better.

MDX vs GV80 soon?

Take x3 3.0d xdrive with some additional features. That will be the best option.

That MB killing that Audi! #NotSorry

I would pick the GLC

Like the Benz bttr

You mentioned that the Audi Q5 is a hybrid I believe that is an error ; it is just a 2.0 turbo engine as I just verified the info on the Audi website. My 2018 Q5 has pretty much the same engine but with 252 hp vs 261 (2021) and identical torque. It's a very good & potent engine.

The only think i didn’t like about the Q5 is that pale gray (or black) interior color While the black interior color of the Mercedes is more vital !

the 2020 glc was tweaked and now it does 0-60 in 5.4 sec

That car will be worth 22k in 3-4 years . Why do anyone would want to buy a new car ? Just ranting lol

I’ve driven both and prefer the GLC way more than the Q5.

interesting analysis - over here in the Netherlands the facts get somewhat a bit skewed; the Mercedes glc is in average 10000k euro cheaper, for the same amount of equipment; also - the 200 and 300glc are actually mild-hybrid cars, with a small battery worth 7hp extra, which is used solely to help with starting and recovery. it's not much but this removes any lag, common in many turbocharged suvs and it makes the whole driving experience a lot more pleasant. i do like both, and would actually feel more inclined for the q5 aesthetics, but the mercedes interiors are vastly more luxurious and premium - lastely, with an extra 10k in your pocket, it's a no brainer. btw - due to the heavy carbon taxes, these cars are about 100.000 usd over here!!!

The Audi might be the choice for everyone who is not a mercedes fan or wants a allaround good SUV. If you like mercedes a lot or you want to pose a bit then go for it. When you want a solid SUV without attention then go for the AUDI.

Audi...rocks

Q5 is better bang for buck! The S line grill looks a bit better on the Q5 PHEV or SQ5 than the regular Q5 IMO

I like the GLC better, but the Q5 offers much more value and better features. You can get a premium plus trim with awd, adaptive cruise, naviagtion, pano roof, etc. (basically fully loaded) for just under $50k. To get equivalent features on the GLC, you're looking at $55k+

I always thought Q5 is equivalent to X5 to GLE. Audi's 3,5,7: BMW's 3,5,7: Merc C,E,S..

Audi is the best

I like the Q5 between these two and I am waiting for the Genesis GV70 to make a decision

Mercedes looking better And way better interior,ill go with mercedes

Q5 for me

Audi Q5 the best!

Audi's I find have better fit and finish n their interiors versus Mercedes Benz. My mom's friend has a 2018 C-Class and the fit and finish in that car is honestly not as great as what you would find in Lexus or Audi.

Today I would go with the GLB rather than the GLC. It’s more up to date with the overall looks and you get slightly more room.

I’ve recently owned a Volvo XC60 2022 Mild hybrid, in 3 month it wouldn’t start around 30times. Hopeless. Me and my family went on a road trip to Norway for vacation, and the morning we were going home, the car wouldn’t start. Volvo bought flight tickets for my whole family to get home, but I had to fly back from Stockholm to get it a week later… And yes, I’m Swedish, and I thought Volvo was gonna be a good car. But no no. They couldn’t find what the problem was at least 5 times it went in for service… Before my XC60, I owned a Audi A4 2019, and it worked perfectly for 3years straight. No problem at all! I’m getting an Q5 now, I’ve tested the GLC several times, but not as good as the Q5.

Great review 😊 Thanks RB 🏳️‍🌈

7:49 isn't that an option in Mercedes?

Audi👍

almost bought the Merc...but ended liking the Q5 slightly better and bought

Love Mercedes but can't get my mind around column shifter on the Merc. My mind says Chevy pick up shifter. Not luxury SUV 😒

Both cars are awesome, but I will go for GLC because it has more upscale interior materials and more refined cabin.

Question is...Where would the Jaguar F-Pace fall?
