2021 Audi Q5 vs 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC : Better performance and more versatility

 

For 2021, the Audi Q5 has received a significant refresh of its engine lineup, its interior and exterior design, and the technology it offers. This gives the Audi the upper hand over the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC in areas that matter to consumers. Let’s take a closer look.

 

 

The Audi Q5 isn’t just the best-selling vehicle in the new Audi vehicle lineup, it is also the best-selling compact luxury SUV in its segment. Part of that is explained by performance. The 2021 Audi Q5 delivers 261 horsepower from its entry-level turbocharged four-cylinder engine this year, making it the most powerful powertrain in the segment when it comes to base engines. The GLC delivers 255 horsepower and reaches 100 km/h 6.2 seconds versions 5.9 seconds for the new 2021 Audi Q5.

 

The hybrid engines offered in both the 2021 Audi Q5 and Mercedes-Benz GLC do many of the same things, but the Audi’s does it faster. Indeed, with 362 combined horsepower versus 315 horsepower, you will enjoy better efficiency to go along with the performance.

 

The 2021 Audi Q5 also shines in terms of cargo space. With 711 litres, it offers roughly 10% more cargo space than the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC. Inside, the recent redesign has given the Q5 a larger infotainment screen and an overall simpler system compared with the GLC.

 

And then there’s the Quattro all-wheel drive system. Quattro is the industry’s benchmark AWD technology, offering advanced technology to keep you and your Q5 solidly planted in snow, ice, or rain. There’s nothing like driving an Audi Quattro system in the snow, and the Q5 will give you complete and total peace of mind every single day.
