    No way I worked both at Audi and Benz… love both! But the GLC driving is sooo much better than the SQ5. Also the SQ5 would constantly show up at the dealership with something broken on the interior. Mercedes wins this one

    As much as I love my SQ5, I raced the GLC43 3 times at the track. I won all 3 times, both stock, but it was 1/8th mile. I finally drove a long way to a 1/4 mile track and another glc43 beat me 2 of 3 times, only time it lost was after heat soak, the glc43 will heat soak faster than the SQ5, in the 1/8 mile SQ5 wins, in the 1/4 mile, that extra horsepower GLC43 will win all the time unless heat soaked in long drive. Great video

    Wtf?? I raced the glc43 vs the exact same audi sq5 and the Mercedes glc43 beat the audi by 2-3 cars. And I also drove the audi sq5 vs the glc43 and it was the same result. The Mercedes glc43 amg is faster than the audi in the real world. I guarantee that 100%. I'll pick the Mercedes glc43 any day. It looks better and it's faster than the audi. In my eyes the Mercedes WINS all day everyday

      Nothing in this review actually made sense. I found the handling in the AMG 43 much better and way firmer for suspension, new versions auto level in hard cornering and comes with air suspension as standard. The SQ5 is a lovely car but it doesn’t have the edge of the AMG.

      Delisio Ameide Anem Mercedes is better overall in terms of reliability, athleticism and faster as well. Audi doesn’t beat it from those 3 areas. Air suspension and no fake exhaust. How is Audi better? Explain. My wife bought the Audi due to her friend driving Audi’s which isn’t a smart way of buying a car. We’ve had problems with check engine light and car stalls. Mercedes first BMW, and Audi-quality and reliability.

      Jon Doe mate there are more factors to a race then just figures. Climate, altitude, type of fuel(how full the tank is) just to name a few. Both these cars are so close on paper means that any of the above could be a deciding factor to n any particular day. Who cares anyway. They are both beautiful cars.

      These are hardly SUV if you ask me. Just a hatchback that sits a little higher. And the larger “SUV” out there like the Q7 or the X5 look more like an estate to me. Not sure how these vehicles are “for the lazy” though. What does that mean. If you want something with a bit more space and a hatch back for carrying more stuff, it’s more practical than a saloon. Just depends on what you need it for. I would say the lazy choice is a limo where someone else drives you...lol
