This is GLC forum, so I think the answer/response will be biased toward the GLC.
Many of the GLC owners, including myself, did a lot of research and test drives before decided on the GLC.
It's not a driver focus as a Macan.
It's not good looking as a F-Pace.
It does not have a comfortable ride like a RX350.
However, I think it's the best in its class when your combine every aspect as a "whole" package.

I would have to agree with the award. We just picked up our GLC43 and I test drove a few in this segment. But in the end, looks, options, driving characteristics and price made it the best option. It's a No compromises type of vehicle.

Yes, I tried them all and ended up with the GLC. But I can fully understand it when someone chooses something else. It is great to have so much choice.

I don't drive a GLC, but it's a fantastic vehicle and definitely deserving of this aware.

After reading the MT 2017 SUV of the year issue last month... it was part of my decision on getting the GLC.

Picked up my GLC 4matic 2 weeks ago with 7 miles on it after waiting 6 months for delivery and so far it's been the best SUV I have owned. Quiet, roomy, has enough power for me to pass those turtles on the road and the LED lights are WOW. It's worth the money in my opinion.
It fully deserves to be SUV of the year.

We only drove an X3. GLC300 wins hands down with similar options and motor.

Mercedes-Benz Set To Dethrone BMW In Sales Race

by Aiman A. under News on 15 Dec 2016 01:29:24 PM

BMW’s 11-year reign set to close, Mercedes-Benz to be the new star.

In a battle as old as time, Mercedes-Benz and BMW continue to duke it out to take the crown as the largest luxury automotive manufacturer in the world. BMW has reigned supreme since 2005 when it stole the premiership from Mercedes-Benz, but according to a Reuters report, Stuttgart is well on its way to take the title back from Munich at long last.

In November alone, Mercedes-Benz managed to sell no less than 182,602 cars worldwide, a substantial 13% increase in sales over the previous month, pushing year-to-date sales to a monumental 1.89-million cars. BMW also saw a jump in sales, but with increases standing at a mere 5.9% (at 177,740 cars sold for the month of November), its year-to-date sales top out at just 1.82-million cars.

On the subject, Mercedes-Benz marketing and sales boss Ola Källenius commented, “With double-digit growth since the beginning of the year, we surpassed last year’s total unit sales by the brand already, in November. This makes 2016 a new record year for us at Mercedes-Benz.

A bulk of Mercedes-Benz’s sales have come from the Asia Pacific region where almost 64,000 cars found homes - a 14.7% increase over last year. From this number, China was the biggest contributor to Merc’s sales success, with 42,000 cars sold there.

A quick mention of the second runner up: Audi’s sales are on the rise too. With 154,000 cars sold in November, takeup for the Ingolstadt manufacturer has gone up 4.2% year-to-date, with 1.71-million Audi’s sold since the beginning of the year.

I had a Macan on demo. Very nice motor but it behaved like an excitable child. In comparison the word that describes my GLC is 'effortless'. Except on lock, of course.
