Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2021 BMW X4 is a crossover worth coveting, though our money would be on the more practical, cheaper, and really not much different X3.

Pros
Willing turbocharged engines
Balanced handling
Excellent interior tech
Lots of available safety gear
M versions especially fun

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

By: 
thecarconnection.com

Newly standard equipment includes SiriusXM satellite radio, Android Auto compatibility, and several driver-assistance features. There are also some changes to the various option packages.The M40i’s turbocharged inline-six is impressive, but the 30i’s turbo four-cylinder provides plenty of power.

Pros
Entertaining to drive,
two powerful engine choices,
design-forward exterior.

Cons
Costs more than the X3,
less cargo space than X3,
tighter on rear-seat room than X3.

By: 
caranddriver.com

No significant changes for 2021.

Pros
Both available engines are smooth, powerful and fuel-efficient
Easy personalization thanks to abundant standard and optional features
Impressive handling for an SUV

Cons
Sloping roofline compromises rear headroom and cargo space

By:

Four- and six-cylinder engines are fuel-efficient for the class

Cons
Less useful cargo area than in regular GLC

Pricey for a compact-class SUV

By: 
edmunds.com

Pros
Potent engine lineup
Posh, comfortable interior
Surefooted handling
User-friendly infotainment system

Cons

Higher starting price than many rivals

By: 
usnews.com

The 2021 GLC300 coupe now comes standard with a 360-degree camera system, rear cross-traffic alert, and a self-parking function. Automatic high-beams and passive hands-free entry were previously bundled into packages, but both are now offered as standalone options. Mercedes also adds Cirrus Silver to the list of available paint colors.

Pros
Graceful driving behavior,
generous standard features,
fastback design is actually attractive.

Cons
Sloping roofline limits cargo space,
sloped-back also limits rear headroom,
GLC43 coupe is more desirable.
