Audi Q5 owners drove the Mercedes-Benz GLC in depth to compare their experiences, and let’s talk about their experiences!

Hello everyone, first of all, thank you for the communication opportunity provided by the Autohome platform. In the blink of an eye, it has been two years since the Audi Q5 Enterprising Plus was launched. Some time ago, I had the opportunity to drive the Mercedes-Benz GLC260 luxury model for half a month. I have more time at home recently, so I decided to record my feelings about the two cars and share them with everyone. I am a deep car fan, and these two cars have been my obsession since I was a child. When I was a kid, I saw them from beginning to end on the street, but I never thought that I would own one. Back then, the Q5 was a legendary car. I still remember that the imported version of the Q5 ten years ago had a price increase of RMB 50,000, and the domestic version had a price increase of RMB 100,000. At that time, I thought it was out of reach, until the rapid development of automotive technology, high popularity and new energy in recent years. The popularity of automobiles has caused this magic car to start a price war and become more accessible to the people. When the Q5 was replaced in early 2018, many standard models in big cities even offered a bare car price of 290,000, and were equipped with dynamic appearance kits, brown Black two-tone leather seats and five-frame high-end steel rims. I knew in my heart that it was the best time to buy it. However, I was not so lucky. Since I bought the car in Urumqi, the price was only 327,000, with a free Weigu Glass film, whole car crystal coating, floor mats. Now that I have been in contact with these two cars for a long time, I cherish them. Every time I use them, I carefully feel the design, space, power, chassis, suspension, comfort and controllability of the two cars. ?As a car fan, I will carefully understand every car I come into contact with, including friends' cars and Didi taxis. The cars I have been in (driving in), and the ones I have deep feelings about include the powerful S600, 2017 Audi A8L, A6L, A4L, Lexus LX570, Toyota Land Cruiser 4.6, Reiz, BMW 4 Series Convertible, and 5 Series ,X3. The cars I have driven include Audi Q5, Q7 gasoline-electric hybrid version, Q5L, Mercedes-Benz GLC260, E200L four-wheel drive, Toyota Land Cruiser 4.6, and Citroen C52.3L. I haven’t driven or ridden in as many cars as you guys, but I have studied every car in detail on the computer. My hobby is to click on each car model one by one on Autohome every day to view the introduction and go to 4S Check out the car in the shop. The reason why I mentioned these models is that I will write an article respectively when I have time in the future. This is my attitude towards cars. ?No more nonsense, let’s get into our topic today. Today I would like to talk to you about my feelings about the 2017 Q5 Enterprising Plus (hereinafter referred to as Q5) and the 2016 GLC260 luxury model (hereinafter referred to as glc). ?Exterior part: ?Personally, I feel that the GLC has a noble appearance, with elegant lines and rounded body exuding a luxurious atmosphere. The body lines of the Q5 (sports package) are simple and majestic, thick and smooth, yet reveal some dynamics and personality. Compared with GLC, its appearance is low-key and subtle.

I didn’t take pictures of the exterior of GLC

Interior part: The interior part of GLC is consistent with the design language of the exterior. It is clearly layered and very gorgeous, with smooth brown wood grain veneer and chrome plating. Decorative parts, simulated leather-like interior panels, circular chrome-plated air outlets, suspended hollow screens, Sound of Berlin speakers, black roofs, nighttime ambient lights... give the entire car a gorgeous atmosphere. in, full of sophistication and superiority. ?The interior design of the Q5 is based on Audi's classic family design language of that era. The wrap-around center console is tilted toward the driver's side. The thick layout and exterior style are unified, and it is full of luxury and technology. The materials used are large areas of imitation leather, silver-gray plastic trim strips, plastic buttons, and only some chrome decorations in some details. I personally think it is just right, and it can achieve a sense of luxury while keeping people thinking rationally. The button layout is practical and reasonable, suitable for blind operation. This is also related to the personality of the car owners who choose the two cars. It also reflects the cultural connotation of their respective brands.

Control, engine, gearbox and chassis: These are the three major parts of the car. The selling point of the Q5 is that the matching of the three major parts is very mature, and the blessing of the full-time system makes the Q5 a A great car from ten years ago.

Let me share my daily experience: the car is very quiet when starting, and there is no unnecessary vibration or noise in the car. Put it in D gear, press the electronic handbrake, and when you release the brake, the car will jump forward and turn the steering wheel. It makes you doubt your life. It would be an exaggeration to say that it feels like it will spin when you exert force. When you turn the direction at low speed, there will be a slight continuous vibration under your feet. The damping of the steering wheel is adjusted very lightly, but when the steering wheel is used on bumpy roads, uphill slopes, continuous curves, and high speed, It has become a bit heavy, but the experience is not bad. The only drawback is that when driving on different roads, it is too light when it is light, and it feels like changing a car when it is heavy, and the response of switching back and forth is delayed. The steering wheel was even lighter when I tested the Q5L. Unlike Mercedes-Benz, it always has a suitable damping feel and a toughness, so I think I like the Mercedes-Benz steering system better. Acceleration and gear shifting are very smooth. If there are two people in the car, I will use the sports mode. Because the car is heavy, I obviously feel a lack of confidence when changing lanes and overtaking, and the response to speed up is much slower. But put it in S gear and press the accelerator. It will become more responsive and responsive, the body will become lighter, and the experience will be great. The four-wheel drive system can be felt in daily driving, and the grip and cornering stability are great for an SUV. Last winter the skylight kept making strange noises, which was very disappointing, but this winter the noises disappeared. The disadvantage is that every time when braking, the car will nod forward, accompanied by the "squeaking" sound of the brake disc, which makes the experience very unpleasant. Small bumps are filtered very well, but larger bumps make the suspension appear stiff. The ride on the car jumps and jumps, and the comfort level is average. ?A few seconds after the GLC is started, the car body will swing from side to side several times. Are there any other owners? It is very easy to shift into the D gear with the shift gear. When starting, the car feels a little fat. The car does not feel the slight adjustment of the accelerator pedal. It always starts slowly. I also have this feeling when I test drive the E260L. After starting to drive, everything is fine, but after switching to the sport mode, the throttle response is sensitive and a bit "nervous". When you touch the accelerator lightly, the car will bounce forward. The contrast is too great. In comparison, the Q5's I prefer the dynamic response. In terms of chassis comfort, the GLC has better vibration filtering and is not as stiff as the Q5 on bumpy roads. I think it also benefits from the softer seats. In terms of filtration, I think German cars almost all feel this way. I remember that when I was test-driving the 2017 BMW 5 Series and X3, I was on a high speed. Every small bump on the road was very obvious, which surprised me. Compared with the French C5 and Japanese cars I drove before, the comfort on bumpy roads is not as good. ? Convenience and space comfort: ? The Q5 compared this time is standard. You have to take out the key before coming to the door, insert the key when starting the car, and take your hands off the steering wheel to shift into D gear. The same goes for the flameout procedure. When I drive a GLC, this is how I go: Go to the driver's seat and pull the door handle directly to get in (there is basically no delay in unlocking the comfort entry). Fasten your seat belt and press the one-button start. With both hands on the steering wheel, you can press the armrest down with your right hand. Press two clicks to reach D, tap the accelerator and drive away. Full marks for convenience and high-end feel. This GLC is equipped with a 360-degree surround view. When parking sideways, you can see the curbs. Parking sideways on country roads can avoid falling into the green lake belt. The experience is perfect, and lane keeping can avoid distractions. Driving at night in a high-gloss store with ambient lighting, four buttons and wooden trim, listening to the sound of Berlin, it feels luxurious and enjoyable. My standard Q5 does not have any of the above-mentioned things. There really is no harm if there is no comparison. [Goodbye] So I suggest you buy a car with these configurations if conditions permit. I regret buying the standard configuration now. The seats of GLC are also softer and more comfortable than those of Q5. You can experience it for yourself. In terms of space, there is not much difference between the two cars. I don’t know what it will look like if it is lengthened.

Clean the engine compartment regularly yourself

Both cars are good cars, but they have different brand cultures and car-making concepts. You can choose according to your own hobbies and needs.
