2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC vs. 2020 Cadillac XT5

There is a reason why the Mercedes-Benz GLC is the company’s best-selling model. The 2020 model of the GLC reminds you why this SUV is so popular as it combines versatility with luxury. With ample cabin space and creature-comforts in the cabin, it is difficult to find anything close to the 2020 GLC among other cars in this category.

When it comes to the 2020 Cadillac XT5, you get a spacious SUV that can comfortably handle most day-to-day functions. However, the cabin does not feel premium at all and performance is terrible. This means that the 2020 XT5 will struggle to compete with the likes of Mercedes-Benz GLC or almost all the other cars in the luxury SUV category.

Design & Styles

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC combines great exterior styling with a plush cabin that offers generous leg and headroom. This luxury SUV is designed to stand out on any driveway and it accomplishes this with ease. Inside, the dashboard is intuitively designed and everything is placed within reach.

When it comes to the 2020 Cadillac XT5, the car has had some upgrades going into 2020. These include a slightly sportier grille as well as sharper contours on the body. Nothing much has changed inside the cabin and although roomy, it is not particularly charming.

Technology & Safety

The 2020 GLC offers a host of tech and safety features as standard. These include a 10-inch infotainment display that is powered by Mercedes-Benz’s MBUX software. The system is very responsive and easy to use. Other tech features that come as standard in the 2020 GLC include a wireless charging pad as well as a top-quality audio system. ­

Despite its other shortcomings, the 2020 Cadillac XT5 manages to offer a decent amount of tech features. These include smartphone integration for Apple and Android phones. Infotainment is controlled via an 8-inch display that can be a little hard to operate.

Performance

When it comes to what is under the hood, the 2020 GLC is powered by a four-cylinder turbocharged engine that turns out 255 horsepower. Fuel-conscious buyers can opt for the hybrid version which performs just as well. Handling in the 2020 GLC is superb and this SUV turns every ride into a thrill. A finely tuned suspension also ensures that the ride quality is superb.

When it comes to engine performance and ride quality, the 2020 XT5 struggles to match the 2020 GLC. Although the 2020 XT5 is powered by a similar four-cylinder turbocharged engine, it is rather sluggish especially when pushed hard. The suspension is also not as refined as the one in the 2020 GLC and road imperfections can be felt in the cabin.

The Bottom Line

While the 2020 Cadillac XT5 is positioned as a luxury SUV, it lacks many of the traits that other cars in this category have. When compared to the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC, it falls woefully short. From engine performance to cabin design, the 2020 GLC is a much better vehicle.
