The 2022 Porsche Macan is revered for its fabulous appearance, spacious cabin and incredible performance. How does it compare to the 2022 Mercedes-AMG GLC-Class, a sport utility vehicle coveted for its gorgeous exterior, lavish cabin and high performance engine?
Design & Style
The Mercedes-AMG GLC-Class comes with three engine options, all of which are powerful. The most advanced is a dual turbo V8, and within the cabin passengers will be presented with an opulent arrangement, plenty of space and state of the art infotainment. It has a square back style frame with projection style LED beams in front, rack rails on the roof, and windshield wipers which are capable of sensing rain and activating automatically.
The newest Porsche Macan comes with revised bumpers in the back and front, a recalibrated central console, shift lever and advanced steering. Those that upgrade to Premium will get rear and front seats that are heated along with headlights that are adaptive and an audio system with fourteen speakers. It also comes with multiple drive modes and the seats are comfortable and covered in luxurious cowhide leather.
Technology & Safety
The Porsche Macan is well equipped to protect its occupants. This is accomplished via numerous airbags, automated emergency brakes, cruise control that is adaptive, and lane departure notifications. Luxuries within its cabin include wifi, Apple CarPlay, twelve volt outlet, and USB ports which will allow you to plug in all kinds of electronic devices. It also has climate control which covers multiple zones.
The Mercedes-AMG GLC-Class comes with most of the safety features found in the Porsche. This includes cruise control, lane management, multiple airbags and automated emergency brakes which have been standardized. Luxuries within its cabin include a ten inch touch display, 12 inch digitized instrument cluster, wireless charging, and Bluetooth support with satellite radio.
Performance
Those that purchase the Mercedes-AMG GLC-Class will get a V6 engine that is 3 liter and capable of generating 385 horsepower with 284 pounds of torque. It has an adaptive suspension that has been sport tuned and can accelerate from zero to sixty in about 4.3 seconds. Those that purchase the Porsche Macan GTS will get a 434 horsepower engine that is capable of accelerating from zero to sixty in about3.5 seconds.
The Bottom Line
Both SUVs can seat a maximum of five passengers. However, the Porsche Macan has an advantage in horsepower and acceleration time, and when you consider the road noise made by the Mercedes-AMG GLC-Class along with its rough riding along uneven streets and minimal cargo space, the Porsche Macan wins easily.
