First of all, why I chose Mercedes-Benz GLC, in fact, when I first wanted to buy a luxury mid-size SUV, I did not look at Cadillac, Lexus, Volvo and other brands, I wanted to choose one from Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi. First went to see the Audi Q5L, the interior is indeed very "old", but the discount is very large, is the cheapest medium-sized SUV in the BBA with the same configuration price, there is no one. To the back of the experience, the leg space is very spacious, but I can't stand its hard and straight backrest, almost do not feel any comfort, even the test drive did not test, directly passed; and looked at the BMW X3, the handling is indeed very good when the test drive, but in the oil collection can feel the drag feeling, sales said that energy recovery, but also acceptable, but its rear space is very small, not even as good as its "brother" BMW X1, and I have certain requirements for the rear seat, That is to say, the back row utilization rate is very high, helplessly had to "endure the pain of cutting love", now think back, if BMW in the domestic X3 can be lengthened, maybe I am the BMW X3 owner.
Finally went to see the Mercedes-Benz GLC, to be honest, its driving feeling is not as good as bmw X3, but it is the most balanced of the three SUVs (my personal opinion), although the interior and Mercedes-Benz C-class are the same look, but the luxurious atmosphere and sense of grade are in place, look at the interior of the Audi Q5L and BMW X3, and then look at the interior of the Mercedes-Benz GLC, the balance in the heart began to tilt to the Mercedes-Benz GLC. Speaking of rear space, the mercedes-benz GRC's rear legroom and the Audi Q5L are between Bo zhong, but its backrest is obviously not as hard and straight as the Audi Q5L, so the Mercedes-Benz GRC was chosen, although its price is the most expensive of the three SUVs. I chose the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300L 4MATIC dynamic type, is the standard of the 2.0T high-power version, landing nearly 480,000, to know that this price can mention the top of the BMW X3, more expensive than the Top model of audi Q5L, no way, who makes it more in line with my requirements.
Just my friend also wants to mention a luxury medium-sized SUV, I recommended BBA to him, but he has different opinions, like Lincoln Motor just listed Lincoln Navigator not long ago, I said to him that the retention rate of this car is not as high as the BBA's same class of models, but the friend said that he does not matter, he is looking at the Lincoln Navigator to provide other luxury medium-sized SUVs but lack of V6 engines, and the price is not as "inflated" as BBA, very much in line with his expectations, as for the retention rate, Any car that has been driven for ten years or eight years will not be too valuable, as long as the car is powerful, sound insulation, and high degree of intelligence. My friend's remarks made me dumbfounded, well, you are happy, but after you buy the car, we will change the drive and see what the Lincoln Navigators can do to make my friend so obsessed.
My friend chose the Lincoln Navigator 2.7T Four-Wheel Drive Premium Edition, the price is 418,800 yuan, which is tens of thousands cheaper than my Mercedes-Benz GLC. I have a habit of this person, when looking at a new car like to sit in the back row to experience it, to be honest, the Lincoln Navigator's rear space is not as spacious as the Mercedes-Benz GLC, although its body size is larger, but the Mercedes-Benz GLC has a longer wheelbase, and the longer wheelbase part all gives the rear space, the Lincoln Navigator's rear space is smaller than the Mercedes-Benz GLC, but the leg space is still very spacious, and it is very comfortable to sit on, not only that, good guy, the front seat heating /ventilation/massage, rear seat heating, These configurations also improve comfort, and my Mercedes-Benz GRC only front seat heating, rear seat heating or I spent 3,000 yuan to choose, it can be said that in terms of configuration, Mercedes-Benz GLC "failed", no, I look at the audio again, to know that my Mercedes-Benz GLC is equipped with 13 speakers of the Berlin Sound audio, and looked at the Lincoln Navigator audio, is also 13 speakers, but it is Ruiwei audio, are one of the top ten brands of car audio, it can be said that the overall strength is comparable.
I tried the headlights again, all LED light sources, but the Lincoln Navigator has an adaptive near and far light function, and my Mercedes-Benz GLC does not have this function, only from 497,800 yuan of 300 L 4MATIC luxury type up to equipped with adaptive near and far light function (Mercedes-Benz is called geometric multi-beam, the function is the same); and tried the central control screen, Lincoln Navigator also supports 360-degree panoramic image, I broke down again, my Mercedes-Benz GLC only reversed image, or from 497,800 yuan 300 L 4MATIC luxury type up to equipped with panoramic images, Lincoln Navigator configuration as long as it can give you, and Mercedes-Benz GLC is small family, such as full speed adaptive cruise, friends of the Lincoln Navigator has, and Mercedes-Benz GRC only has the top model to have this function, how much is the top model? 587,800 yuan! With this money you can buy Mercedes-Benz GLC AMG directly!
As for the suspension soft and hard adjustment and four-wheel drive system, both cars have it, the difference is that the Mercedes-Benz GRC is a full-time four-wheel drive system, while the Lincoln Navigator is a timely four-wheel drive system. In addition, I was also impressed by the intelligence of lincoln navigators, such as the L2+ driver assistance system and the interconnection function of the car home that Mercedes-Benz GLC does not have, which improves the driving experience and makes life scenes more relaxed.
Finally, speaking of the Lincoln Navigator's driving experience, the powertrain of the 2.7T V6 engine + 8AT transmission can be described in two words: silky smooth and moving like a rabbit, the power output of 322 hp/500 Nm is more abundant than my Mercedes GLC, after all, a 2.7T, a 2.0T, is not a magnitude player at all, the 8AT gearbox shift is very smooth, and it does not feel the slightest setback at low speeds, while the Mercedes GLC can clearly feel the impact of gear changes at low speeds. In terms of sound insulation, the Mercedes-Benz GLC is very good, but the engine is very loud when the cold car starts, the engine is very quiet after the engine is hot, and its explosion-proof tire noise is larger, and the Lincoln Navigator has no problems in this regard, and the entire NVH project is very good. In terms of chassis, although the two structures are different, the texture is very similar, both are very balanced between comfort and movement, the fine bumps of the road surface are absorbed very thoroughly, and the uneven road surface is also very crisp and clean, feeling that they and the car are one, which is "the unity of people and cars", and passengers can also get good comfort.
If I had to choose again now, I would still choose the Mercedes-Benz GRC between the Audi Q5L, BMW X3 and mercedes-Benz GRC, but I will not pay as much attention to the brand effect as before, and the choice will be broader and more rational, it can be said that the Lincoln Navigator taught me a lesson.
