Mercedes-Benz and Audi are two automotive manufacturers that are always on top of current trends and future innovation. Yes, they make similar cars, and yes, they are from the same country, but upon close inspection, you will find that Mercedes-Benz and Audi are far from supplements of each other. When it comes to the crossover, Mercedes-Benz and Audi offer us the GLC Coupe and the Audi Q5. Are they are horse a piece or will the purchase of one help you sleep better at night?
The first thing is size. When they are sitting right next to each other, it is easy to see with the naked eye that the GLC Coupe is a few inches longer. They do share the same wheelbase length, but the Audi is actually a few inches taller, making these vehicles very different already. The GLC Coupe offers more leg room, but the Q5 offers more head and shoulder room.

When it comes to performance, it is difficult to keep up with Mercedes-Benz. As it is here, a common theme when comparing Mercedes-Benz vehicles is that you can usually find more power and more utility for less money. In this case, the GLC 300 4MATIC® is less expensive than the Q5, it has more performance, more comfort, and is brand new for the 2017 year.
For drivers looking for a little more power under the hood. The 2017 Mercedes-Benz AMG® GLC 43 will be available this year with more than a lot more power and a new lease on life.
