(I was rear ended last month but the other party’s insurance is taking care of everything) All of the plastic in the Mercedes looks cheap to me and I don’t like that everything is all touch screen. It’s not convenient when you are driving

MB hands down. I have taken both for a drive myself. The 2023 Q5 has the same feel as 4-6 year older models. If you want an Audi, buy a 4 year old model with a few clicks and save 1/2. You're getting virtually the same ride. Even new ford models (2023 Explorer) feel more modern! The 2023 GLC redesign makes the care feel like a modern vehicle. And for those that mentioned the fact that the GLC does not have "knobs" (lol 2023 not a 2010 made car !), you have the Mercedes voice assistant that you can tell your car to make most comfort adjustments anyway. MB hit it out of the park with the 2023 GLC. They just need to drop that darn fake exhaust. WHY more manufacturers are putting fake exhaust tips is mind blowing. STOP IT. LOL

Sorry but I disagree with your assessment. The 2022 facelift is greatly improved over the 2018 Q5, which I drove for 4 years. When looking for a new vehicle I was strongly inclined towards the X3, also because I wanted a change. However after driving the 2022 Q5 it was a very perceivable difference over the 2018, being peppier, better fuel economy, with better sound insulation, suspension with less body roll while absorbing the bumps better, and the full touchscreen was a nice addition along with auto high beam and 360 camera. I was honestly surprised thinking it was just a facelift. It beats the X3 in all aspects that are important to me. The new GLC still seems to fall behind, unless someone prefers its interior design, because on the exterior the Q5 still looks better IMHO. My kids would complain about the lack of 3rd A/C zone on the GLC.

When the wife drove the 3 in the segment..Q5, GLC and BMW 3 they all were very close. We had a 13, 17 and now 21 Q5 and typically log about 100k miles in 4 years and then trade. They have been flawless and when I drive it I put it in Sport mode tuning which slightly changes the suspension and steering which is perfect for me. when she's not in the car I use the sport mode on the tranny and it livens it up some. Not as much as our SQ5 but works for the majority.

I'm probably a bit biased since i have a 22 SQ5 Prestige but at least in the SQ5 with the Napa quilted sport seats, carbon fiber, and alcantara in the doors...while it feels a bit minimalist, it is really well put together and the materials feel quality. I feel that it looks a bit sportier than the MB and the MB looks a bit like it's going more luxury. The sparse/minimalist feeling is classic German. I may be in the minority but I still like the look of the interior - minus maybe the tacked on nature of the screen and the new little useless cubby where the MMI knob used to be. The newer MB interiors seem to be (smartly) taking into account what the Chinese market is looking for. End of the day, doubt you can go wrong with either. There are a few things that annoy me though. Not sure how many of these apply to the regular Q5. The door handles, while functional, should be wrapped in something softer. Hard plastic, especially at the $74K mine rang in at, isn't great. Having to downgrade out of the sports seats to get the cooled seats...dumb. Having to add the summer package (which downgrades the seats) is also the only way to get the rear sunshades. The 8 speed in the SQ5 is actually a little embarrassing. It is not smooth at all. The engine start-stop is really rough. I'd like a bit more customization capability in the infotainment as far as function control all over the car (my wife's Telluride puts the Q5 to shame in that regard). Remote start would be nice. The 19 speaker B&O sounds pretty good but I haven't found a setting yet I love. Center storage space is pretty awful. And why did they remove the rear underfloor storage and drop the floor to where there is a load ledge versus the 8/8.5 Q5s of the 2010s. Would I buy it again? Good chance. Although, sometimes I feel like I would like a little sportier X3 m40i or even stretch to a X3M versus the all-rounded nature of the SQ5. I wish I would have looked at the GV70 3.5T a little more. Do I regret the purchase? Not really. Allrounder, it is a great vehicle and I've had no actual issues so far. The MB and BMWs certainly have their share of shortcomings, too.

So today I got to drive the Audi Q5 and compare it to my Mercedes GLC300. The Audi is a smooth ride but a very noisy ride. The GLC is much more comfortable ride for me and is quiet all around. I will say my GLC has been having issues since I purchased it... The electronic parking brake not disengaging so when I put it in gear after not driving for 2 or 3 days it feels like I am hitting something. Already had a check Engine light about 3 months after purchasing. Hoping to get it all resolved. All in all... I prefer the drive in the GLC and hoping Mercedes can fix the issues.

Good reviews, my suggestion is to talk to owners of each vehicle in your own city and how they were treated by the dealer. As an audi owner for years the dealers in the 90s and early 2000s were awful, arrogant and unsupportive. Competition and a smack to the head by someone has turned that around completely, but the local dealer for service/warranty support/recalls/attractive pricing can be the deal killer or not.

Yes, here is an example of how a Chicago Audi dealership (where I bought my Audi A4) in 2010 treated me. My new A4's glove compartment was defective at 3 months old; the glove compartment's door would not latch closed and hung open. The dealership told me I had to pay to fix it because I must have done something to break it. I had not done anything to it, and the car was 3 months old and under warranty. After arguing with me, they finally agreed to fix the glove compartment without charge. The service person I was dealing with told me I would have to call the service manager and thank him for his generosity in fixing the glove compartment without charge. I refused, and they fixed it anyway without charge, but I never forgot that, and I never bought an Audi again. Every Mercedes dealership has always treated me well

Great comparison! I drive a GLC 300 coupe (2023) and my husband drives a 2021 fully loaded package 2022 Audi Q5. I love both! It’s a pleasure driving it either way. Even though I agree Audi could upgrade (just a bit) the interior, but not going fully touch screen as the new GLC. We are biased regarding Audi Q5’s just because we own the model since 2009 and overall it’s the best car we ever owned. Security wise I fell safer into the Q5. When seating on the back seat the GLC coupe jerks a bit, while the Q5 rides easily. I have upgraded seats on both of my cars and there’s no way Audi Q5 is going to beat the GLC. I guess the Germans car maker are making our days better! 😎
