2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC or Audi Q5: Which Has More Power?

On a darkened desert highway, you’ll never want to check out of a ride that combines power and rhythm. Which SUV has more power?

The answer lies underneath the hood of the 2023 Mercedes-Benz AMG® GLE 43. The SUV’s AMG-enhanced 3.0L V6 biturbo engine reaches up to:

  • 385 horsepower
  • 384 lb-ft of torque
  • 0 to 60 MPH in 4.7 seconds

That’s more than the Audi Q5. The Audi SUV maxes out at 362 horsepower, 369 lb-ft of torque, and goes from 0 to 60 MPH in a less-crisp 5 seconds.

The sleek frame of the 2023 Mercedes-Benz AMG® GLE 43 attracts passersby like a singer onstage. It also gives drivers the option to choose different style and capability. The four-wheel options for the 2023 Mercedes-Benz AMG® GLC include standard 20-inch wheels or 21-inch wheels with black finishes.

Is the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC or Audi Q5 More Comfortable?

Settling into your driver’s seat can be as comfortable as sliding into the booth at a jazz club. You’ll be ready for a magic driving journey when you drive the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC. Standard editions of the SUV include:

  • Available ventilated front seats
  • Mercedes me Connect Services
  • Power liftgate
  • Remote Start via Mercedes me mobile app

While the Audi Q5 does provide its own blend of comfort, it doesn’t reach the heights of the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC. This includes the availability of ventilated front seats. You can add ventilated front seating to standard trims of the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC, keeping away the sticky feeling you get after coming in from the desert sun.  

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC is more comfortable than the Audi Q5. This comfort continues throughout your driving experience.
