Mid-size SUVs have a pivotal position in the automotive market around the world, seemingly inconspicuous, but they have always been able to become the focus of research for major luxury brands. At present, there are not many domestic luxury medium-sized SUVs, and mercedes-Benz GLC and Lincoln Navigator have obvious competitiveness. Coupled with the flagship model of the brand, both vehicles have had high popularity since they were launched.
At present, the official guidance price of the Lincoln Navigator is 328,800-478,800, and the price of mercedes-benz GRC is 402,500-471,200. Uncle Che chose two similarly priced configurations as a comparison, namely the Lincoln Navigator 2021 2.7T 4WD Premium Edition and the Mercedes-Benz GLC 2022 260 L 4MATIC Luxury. What kind of spark will be sparked by the price difference of only one thousand yuan?
appearance:
The hero sees the same thing
Mercedes-Benz Group has many years of car manufacturing technology and has a unique family style in appearance design. Mercedes-Benz GRC continues the AMG aesthetic, and the overall body aura and sense of sport have been enhanced. The front grille is equipped with a diamond-shaped pattern, also known as the "flash drill grille", and the degree of brilliance is absolutely enough. Geometric multi-beam LED headlights are also the finishing touch, not only improving the appearance, but also having practicality. Each side has a total of 84 independent light sources, and all of them are LED lamp source design. You can also switch the lighting mode according to different driving conditions to escort safety.
The appearance of the Lincoln Navigator is more atmospheric and calm, and the style of its own school can still be equal to the Mercedes-Benz GLC. Inheriting the family gene, the Xinghui type front grille, the unique grille design and the LOGO are perfectly integrated, which also shows the confidence and calmness of the body from the side. Lincoln Navigator's Star Drill LED Adaptive Headlights are similar to mercedes-Benz GLC headlights. Both automatically adjust the level and the light near and far, and the auxiliary beam also helps us drive the vehicle more efficiently at night.
Interior:
Practical and comfortable
At this price point, the comfort of the Lincoln Navigator and Mercedes-Benz GLC will not be bad, so this is also one of the important factors that can open the gap. Lincoln Navigator's focus is to leapfrog enjoyment, using a combination of high-grade leather and metal materials to create a unique visual experience.
Breaking the traditional shift mode, the new piano key style is elegant and stylish. The simple design simplifies the driving operation and is a design with a jumping thinking. Premium audio brands from HARMAN can also create different stereo surround sound.
In addition, the Lincoln Navigator's front seats feature five massage modes, in-house heating, ventilation, and electric memory. At the same time, the car also supports 22-way adjustment, which can effectively alleviate the fatigue caused by long-distance driving. Uncle Che felt that the Lincoln Navigator had a great say in terms of comfort, which was also its advantage.
Compared to the Lincoln Navigator, the Mercedes-Benz GLC will be more diverse. The 64-color ambient mood light is very attractive, and the lighting effect in the car can be adjusted to your favorite color, and you can drive a car at will.
Mercedes-Benz GRC this time using a large number of sound insulation cotton and shock-proof materials, can reduce the wind resistance and tire noise during driving, for owners who like quiet space, Mercedes-Benz GRC is more suitable. It is worth mentioning that in order to make the riding comfort more obvious, mercedes-Benz GRC deliberately lengthened the rear seats by 30mm, and the overall space ratio is very careful.
performance:
The power is surging and the strength is outstanding
Mercedes-Benz GLC has a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, a maximum horsepower of 197 Ps, a maximum torque of 320N·m, and an acceleration time of 8.4s per 100 kilometers, which means that with just one foot of throttle, you can easily feel the extraordinary surging power. At the same time, with the 9-speed automatic transmission, the gears can be quickly switched between gears, and there will be no frustration. This time, mercedes-Benz GRC also has a full-time four-wheel drive (4MATIC) system, which can bring excellent power distribution, but also improve driving comfort and driving experience. At the same time, it can also ensure the stability of the vehicle on ice and snow and wet roads.
The Lincoln Navigator's powertrain will be stronger, and at the same price point, the Lincoln Navigator is equipped with a 2.7T twin-turbo engine. The horsepower output of up to 322 horses can ensure the starting explosive power of the car, and the uncle feels that it is not impossible to achieve the ejection start. Although the car is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission, it still has a certain sensitivity in terms of gear shift performance. Like Mercedes-Benz GRC's full-time all-wheel drive system, Lincoln Navigator has an intelligent all-wheel drive system that automatically adjusts four-wheel torque based on road conditions to prevent or reduce wheel slippage. This significantly reduces fuel consumption and improves fuel economy.
Uncle Che summed up
In the above two models, the Lincoln Navigator will certainly be more cost-effective, after all, the price is relatively not so high, and the power is also very strong. So, if you want to choose a car from the perspective of cost performance, Uncle Che suggests that you can buy Lincoln Navigator. If you are more concerned about the brand effect, then Mercedes-Benz GRC can also choose. Of course, no matter what car we buy, we must like it ourselves.
