2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC vs. Lexus RX
Finding a dynamic SUV with exciting drivetrains, convenient technologies, and a variety of styles is easy when you know where to look.
Today, our team at Mercedes-Benz of Westwood is ready to look at the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC vs. Lexus RX to figure out which will help you have steady drives throughout Westwood, Dedham, Needham, and Norwood, Massachusetts.
Front-Wheel vs. Rear-Wheel Drive
When you’re in the market for exciting performance features, both SUV models can give you the drive you want. For example, there are plenty of drivetrain capabilities.
The 2022 RX starts out with a standard front-wheel drive system that sends power from the engine to the front wheels, which is a very common and reliable option. On the RX, it works with the engine to enable a 7.6-second acceleration from 0 to 60 MPH.
The 2022 GLC, however, offers standard rear-wheel drive, which gives power to the rear wheels. This configuration often leads to increased sporty performance, as we can see with the acceleration of the 2022 GLC jumping from 0 to 60 MPH in only 6.3 seconds.
4MATIC® All-Wheel Drive
If you’re looking to utilize all four wheels, both models also have options for an all-wheel drivetrain. While this gives you better traction, it can sometimes lead to reduced fuel efficiency. The Lexus all-wheel drive configuration has an EPA-estimated 21 city and 28 highway MPG. The 2022 GLC matches that with an EPA-estimated 21 city and 28 highway MPG.1
