Audi Q5 vs. BMW X3 vs. Mercedes GLC Comparison Test Shows How Fast Cars Age ... - autoevolution

The BMW X3 is the daddy of the compact SUV segment. Audi's Q5 is a jack of all trades while the all-new Mercedes GLC seems to offer nearly everything. Up next, we're going to take a close look at a comparison between the very latest model years of these three SUVs that have been put to the test on the Bridgestone proving ground. The BMW X3 is described as a bad family car because of its rear seats. We think company strategy plays a major role here, as Mercedes is the only premium company to use large piano-finish surfaces. Audi's idea of an SUV for middle management is good at everything and excellent at nothing. You're never going to make a bad decision by buying it, but it's not a good one either. The newer GLC has the best ride and slightly better powertrains. But is it just us or does it not look better than the S-Line equipped Audi. The X3 has always been known for its handling while the Q5 is called a failure because Audi makes better interiors. That's when the next generations of the BMW and Audi will be ready, and by the looks of things they will have even more features. Source: www.autoevolution.com
