Hello Everyone,

I currently own a 2020 GLC AMG 63. While it's a lot of fun, I am planning to move to something smaller. Any suggestions are welcome!

Here are some pictures. I recently shipped the vehicle to its new buyer.

What are your requirements and price range?

Ideally a smaller footprint than the GLC but is also sporty. Budget-wise, I can go to 80-90k. I have not heard good reviews of the GLA class. Some options I am looking at are the AMG GLB, the EQE (I'm open to electric) though it might end up feeling larger than the GLC, or one of the coupes.

Going from the AMG GLC 63 S V8 to the GLB 35 you might find it underpowered, although interior room is smaller, the GLB is around the same size as the GLC, GLB is boxier though. If only the GLB 45 was a thing and also in the USA, otherwise you can only get 45 flavour in GLA form. That said, I am not sure if the GLA 45 is available in the MBUSA market either.

Unless you want to switch brands, then there are way more options.

Nice CPO Macans are available in that price range. Smaller than GLC.

Or X1/X2 BMW, but not as luxurious as GLC or Macan.

not exactly a BMW fan myself but heard the new X1 and/or X2 isn't bad, I heard people prefer it to the the X3 even, might be for good reasons.
Macan is definitely smaller but if OP wants a go-kart like experience, it is not it, the handling around corners however, maybe.

Agree, the X1/X2 is an east-west FWD based lesser platform than the north-south rear-biased GLC, Macan and X3 platforms.

Another suggestion are the little Lexus crossovers, UX and NX.

Ya and FWD based might be deal breaker for some.
