2025 GLC vs 2025 QX50 in D’Iberville, MS
2025 GLC vs 2025 QX50
Luxury SUV shoppers in D’Iberville and across the Mississippi Gulf Coast are often drawn to two popular choices: the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC and the 2025 INFINITI QX50. At Mercedes-Benz of South Mississippi, we’ve seen firsthand how both deliver on style and convenience – but the GLC pulls ahead where it really counts. With more premium features, a smoother ride, and signature Mercedes-Benz sophistication, the GLC is the one that consistently leaves a stronger impression.
Interior Comparison
The 2025 GLC was redesigned to look and feel more upscale than ever. Step inside and you’re surrounded by rich materials, soft-touch surfaces, and a striking floating 11.9-inch touchscreen seamlessly integrated into a digital cockpit. It’s quiet, sleek, and designed to impress passengers and drivers alike.
The QX50 brings a stylish, asymmetrical layout that feels modern, but its materials don’t match the polish of the GLC. While the QX50 offers slightly more rear-seat legroom, the GLC’s overall cabin execution is more cohesive and premium – especially in higher trims.

Power & Performance
Under the hood, the GLC 300 features a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four with 255 horsepower and mild-hybrid assist for extra boost during acceleration. The result? Smooth, efficient power delivery, whether you’re heading to Biloxi or cruising I-10. 4MATIC®® all-wheel drive® is available for confident handling in any weather.
The QX50 uses a 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine with 268 horsepower, but it’s paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which can feel disconnected and less refined. The GLC’s 9-speed automatic transmission makes every shift feel deliberate and fluid.

Tech & Entertainment
The GLC makes every drive smarter with the latest MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) system. Say “Hey Mercedes,” and it responds to voice commands. The interface is clean, responsive, and easy to customize. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard, and the available Burmester® 3D Surround Sound system adds an audio experience worth turning up.
The QX50 offers Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, but the dual-screen setup feels outdated and less intuitive. Navigation and climate controls are split between two different displays, which can be distracting while driving.
