Volkswagen Touareg or Mercedes-Benz GLC at the same price? Have you ever thought about this question? If I had to answer it, these two cars are not better than each other at all? These two cars are not the same generational difference! But since I asked the question, I will answer it, after all, the two cars also have the same price point.
The prices of the Touareg 2.0T Ruishang Edition and Mercedes-Benz GLC300 luxury versions overlap very much, so let's compare these two cars. In terms of hardware, the Touareg has to throw off the Mercedes-Benz GLC several positions. The foundation of the Touareg is the Volkswagen MLB EVO platform, and the whole system is equipped with air shock absorption as standard, you must know that the Bentley Bentayga is also a product of this platform, and the Mercedes-Benz GLC is only the platform of the Mercedes-Benz C, and the gap comes out all of a sudden. The Touareg's all-wheel drive structure is the famous mechanical Torsen differential, while the Mercedes-Benz GLC uses a multi-plate clutch. The Touareg's braking system is also a highlight, the front brake uses a six-piston Akunboro, and the Mercedes-Benz GLC, I won't say more!
Some people will ask, the engine and gearbox, there should be not much difference, right? The powertrain Touareg uses a Volkswagen EA888 + ZF 8AT combination, and the Mercedes-Benz GLC is an M254 engine + Mercedes-Benz's own 9AT. In good conscience, the power system of Mercedes-Benz GLC is stronger than the Touareg in terms of power, fuel consumption and starting response. The interior Mercedes-Benz GLC luxury sense is also stronger than that of the Touareg, and the most important thing is that the logo of the Mercedes-Benz Trident is also stronger than that of Volkswagen, and the aura is stronger.
Both cars have their own advantages, but to be honest, the Touareg is really a low-key car! It's just that in terms of sales, the Mercedes-Benz GLC really rubs the Touareg on the ground. No way, whoever makes most people have money now doesn't want to keep a low profile. Sometimes no matter how hard the hardware is, it can't be as hard as the light of the trident starlight!
