The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC is a beauty that delivers almost on every front. Its comfortable interior, quirky off-road capabilities and plenty of customization options land it in the top third of our luxury compact SUV rankings.
The 2020 Volvo XC90 boasts of a spacious interior, equipped with many standard safety features. It offers good fuel economy, however, its poor predicted reliability rating puts it in the middle third of luxury midsize SUV class. Also, it comes with just adequate powertrains.
Design & Style
The 2020 Volvo XC90 is a seven-seater. It also offers an option to trade the bench seat in the second-row for a pair of captain’s chairs. This option also allows for easy access to the third row. The latest model hasn’t really changed that much than the previous version. Minor improvements on taillights, wheel designs, and LED headlights are not too prominent but are quite impressive. The cabin is spacious and has an understated elegance with the use of some fine materials.
The GLC is a five-seater that offers both comfort and support in its two rows. Head- and legroom are both adequate, so you can ride in the back without feeling squashed. The interior is composed of high-end materials giving it quite a handsome feel. It’s also well insulated from wind and road noise.
Technology & Safety
The XC90 is a good contender in terms of technology. Its Volvo’s Sensus infotainment system is quite impressive with 9-inch touch screen, 10-speaker stereo, Apple Carplay, Bluetooth® and other standard connectivity options. However, it can be pretty difficult to learn and use. The audio and navigation systems can be quite distracting. Thanks to its wide range of safety features, that lessens the dangers of this confusing mechanism.
The GLC features MBUX infotainment system, replacing the previous COMAND® interface. The new upgraded system is designed to be user-friendly with options like intuitive voice control. It also employs the use of Artificial Intelligence to adapt to the user to boost the overall experience. There is a pile of safety features with GLC like Pre-Safe Plus, lane keep assist, evasive steering assist, exit warning function, driver drowsiness monitoring, pedestrian detection, etc.
Performance
The 2020 Volvo XC90 comes with three engine choices namely: T5, T6, and T8. The basic model offers a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and 250 hp.
The 2020 Volvo XC90 is available with three engine options: T5, T6, and T8. The entry-level T5 setup includes a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 250 horsepower. Front-wheel drive is standard; all-wheel drive is available. This engine hauls the XC90 around town with decent pep, but it sounds coarse under hard acceleration and offers meager passing power. The other powertrains are better-suited for the XC90, and they come standard with all-wheel drive.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC offers plenty of value for money. It’s fun to drive with a lush interior and a great deal of intuitive technology. This well-rounded small crossover successfully earns a spot near the top ranks in the luxury compact SUV class. Shoppers must not miss this small, upscale SUV.
