Midrange luxury SUVs are only getting better and better with the new 2016 models, and the new 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC and 2016 BMW X3 are two clear examples of that trend. These stylish, luxurious vehicles are perfect for you and your family, whether you're in the professional world or juggling the many responsibilities of school and extracurricular activities; their emphasis is on providing comfortable, useful vehicles with a long lifespan and plenty of comforts along the way. If you're deciding between the two vehicles, while both are excellent vehicles in their own right, the GLC has a few features that put it in a category beyond even the X3, even though the two are so close in price. Let's take a look at some of the similarities and differences between the two.

Interior

The GLC and X3 both offer several useful interior features, but the GLC takes an extra step into the realm of luxury vehicles when it comes to its standard offerings. With standard keyless ignition and power seats, as well as optional features like concierge service, destination download, destination guidance, and more, the GLC's connections to Mercedes-Benz mbrace® services are well worth a look, and help the vehicle maintain its edge over the X3. Additional optional features include heated/cooled seats, parking assistance, and navigation, all of which serve to make your life on the road easier and your drive a more enjoyable one.

Safety

Though both vehicles offer several advanced safety features, including ABS, traction control, emergency service, airbag deployment notification, stability control, and more, the GLC helps you keep your investment safe with an extra security feature: vehicle alarm notification. Keep up to speed with the state of your vehicle even when it's parked a distance away from you and enjoy the benefits of alarm notification - you'll be able to have more confidence in the security of the vehicle, letting you focus on your own life and devote attention where you want to do so.

The 2016 BMW X3 also features a computerized control system called iDrive that is similar to the Mercedes-Benz COMAND® system. The iDrive system is used to engage the car's adaptive LED headlights that adjust automatically to surrounding environments as well as its head up display that gives the driver important information about road conditions in advance to improve response time to potential hazards.

Comfort

Drivers and passengers alike experience more interior wiggle room in the GLC, creating a more comfortable and enjoyable experience than the X3 can provide. This is especially useful for buyers with families - the more fights and arguments amongst any children that you can prevent, the better, and one of the safest and most surefire ways to do so is to give them plenty of space! The GLC was designed with this kind of flexibility in mind, appealing both to urban professionals as well as parents and heads of busy families.
