Volvo XC60 vs Mercedes-Benz GLC
Elegance Meets Function in the Volvo XC60
Both the Volvo XC60 and Mercedes-Benz GLC are premium compact SUVs, but only one delivers a true balance of luxury, innovation, and real-world usability—and that’s the XC60. Designed with pure Scandinavian simplicity, the XC60 offers refined materials, a spacious interior, and Google built-in technology—all at a more accessible price point than the GLC. At Volvo Cars Greenville, part of the award-winning Steve White Auto Group serving Spartanburg, Anderson, and the Upstate, we proudly recommend the XC60 to drivers seeking style, performance, and long-term value.
Interior Comfort and Tech: Clean Design Wins
Step inside the XC60 and you’ll immediately notice the difference. Where the GLC leans on flash, the XC60 delivers comfort through purposeful, elegant design. Premium natural materials, a serene cabin atmosphere, and Volvo’s signature portrait-style touchscreen with Google Maps, Assistant and Play Store built in—all create a smarter, more relaxing space. While the GLC offers luxury touches, the XC60 makes advanced tech intuitive and part of your everyday drive.
Safety First - And Always
Volvo’s reputation for safety leadership continues in the XC60. With features like Pilot Assist, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), and Cross Traffic Alert with auto brake, the XC60 offers more standard advanced driver-assistance than the GLC. In fact, Volvo includes many safety systems the Mercedes reserves for upper trims or as pricey add-ons. For families and safety-conscious drivers in Greenville and Spartanburg, that makes a real difference. Better safety on the road should be accessible to everyone, and Volvo consistently gets it right.
Hybrid Performance and Efficiency Options
The XC60 lineup includes mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains - delivering impressive power and up to 63 MPGe in the Recharge model. While the GLC offers a mild hybrid system, it lacks a plug-in option for 2025, putting it a step behind in electrified innovation. Volvo's Recharge plug-in hybrid also qualifies for state and federal incentives, giving drivers more efficiency and potential savings.
Why Greenville Drivers Choose the XC60 Over the GLC
At Volvo Cars Greenville—part of the trusted Steve White Auto Group—we know what Upstate SC drivers value: comfort, safety, performance, and customer-first service. The Volvo XC60 offers all of that in one stunning package, and often with better pricing, more standard features, and greater long-term value than the Mercedes-Benz GLC.
