BMW X3 vs. Mercedes-Benz GLC: Performance 

  • Engine: Both the X3 and GLC sport their own versions of a 2.0L inline-4 engine for an extra punch of power. 
  • Torque: While the X3 generates a bit more horsepower than the GLC — a difference of 8 hp — the GLC more than makes up for it with its increased torque of 273 lb-ft vs. 258 lb-ft generated by the X3.
  • Transmission: While the engines are similar, drivers will experience smoother shifting in the GLC as they navigate North Las Vegas with its 9G-TRONIC® automatic transmission with shift paddles. The BMW X3 comes standard with an 8-speed STEPTRONIC Automatic transmission.
  • Towing: Pahrump drivers in need of towing will find the X3 lacks the capability completely. However, properly equipped with the optional trailer hitch, the 2019 GLC can tow up to 3,500 lbs.
