Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

For 2021, Mercedes gifts the GLC lineup with more standard features and more standalone options. A passive hands-free entry as well as a self-parking function and rear cross-traffic alert are now included on every model. Automatic high-beam assist and a 360-degree camera system are now available separately on a GLC300 without being bundled as part of a package.

Pros
Quiet and refined,
gorgeous and spacious interior,
more space inside than a C-Class.

Cons
Lacks driving verve,
limited cargo space,
most driver assists aren't standard should you want them.

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class can be a soothing urban oasis—or a roaring twin-turbo V-8 track star. It’s your call.

Pros
Great looks
AMG’s unbridled performance
Comfortable ride and interior
Good rear seat room
Good active safety features

Cons
Top prices approach $100,000
Compromised outward vision in coupes
Small rear doors in coupes

Pros
Potent engine lineup
Posh, comfortable interior

Coupe models have cramped rear seats and cargo area
Higher starting price than many rivals

By: 
usnews.com

Pros
Both available engines are smooth, powerful and fuel-efficient

Cons
Sloping roofline compromises rear headroom and cargo space

The 2022 BMW X4 crossover goes back for styling seconds: you’ll have to judge whether it’s worth the calories.

Pros
Willing turbocharged engines
Balanced handling
Scalding M performance
Excellent interior tech
Lots of available safety gear

Cons
Style not for everyone
So-so rear-seat human space
So-so cargo space
Mega M price tag

By: 
thecarconnection.com

Updated styling elements mark the 2022 model year for the X4. BMW has tweaked the grille, the bumpers, exterior lighting elements, and wheel designs this year and has reworked the X4's center console. The hot M40i model gains a 48-volt hybrid system and larger 12.3-inch infotainment and gauge displays are now standard.

Pros
Nicely balanced chassis,
powerful turbocharged engine options,
cool fastback exterior styling.

Cons
Snug rear seat space,
cargo room not as generous as X3's,
sober interior styling.
