2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 vs 2018 Volvo XC60
Are you in the market for a new SUV? We have an option for you. Luxury SUVs are a hot commodity nowadays as people search for efficient yet stylish ways to travel. Volvo, once more of a conventional automaker, now identifies as a luxury brand, but can they really offer as much as a big-name brand like Mercedes-Benz? Take a look here as we compare the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 vs 2018 Volvo XC60.
Our first point of comparison is performance. Volvo might have what it takes to beat out the average joe, but against the reputation of Mercedes-Benz, the comparison becomes more one-sided. Standard features like an adaptive variable suspension and variable assisted steering are optional and not available, respectively, in the XC60. That along with an extra transmission speed in the GLC 300 makes it a wise choice if you want more of an edge.
