Reviews SummaryThe handsome Mercedes-Benz GLC compact SUV continues into the 2025 model year with a few revisions and a new plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) variant. The GLC shows us that a simple yet measured approach makes it a strong candidate up against compact luxury SUVs from Audi, BMW, Genesis, Lexus, Porsche, and Volvo. This review covers the non-AMG GLC models, while AMG GLC models are reviewed separately. Verdict: The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC-class is a handsome and compelling new car fit for most duties | |
Reviews SummaryThe 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron is a new addition to the German luxury brand’s electric vehicle and SUV lineups. It’s a two-row, five-seat midsize model that slots between the Audi Q4 e-tron and Audi Q8 e-tron SUVs, giving Audi a more direct rival to the Acura ZDX, Cadillac Lyriq, and Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV. It also dabbles in Tesla Model Y and Porsche Macan EV territory. Verdict: Compared to its rivals, the Q6 e-tron is a better choice for buyers who want an EV that still feels like a normal SUV. | |
