This week, Mercedes-Benz announced pricing for its redesigned compact crossover and new electric midsize crossover SUV. Both will be arriving in dealerships soon, giving shoppers the choice of either the affordable Turbo 4 or the tech-electric value onboard. It’s the epitome of an era for luxury car shoppers.
We also review the BMW iX electric crossover SUV and the brand’s flagship three-row SUV. The bright red mid-duty truck segment remains in our scope as we pit two classics against each other before an impending redesign.
This is what got us going this week.
2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Preview
A sleek new shape and Turbo 4 drivetrain power the new Benz midsize crossover, which launches in early 2023 with a starting price of $48,250.
Mercedes’ second electric sports utility vehicle brings fast charging and a 677 hp AMG Edition. Prices for the single-motor and dual-motor models are the same, starting at $79,050.
If you’re happy with, or in love with, the electric crossover SUV’s distinctive exterior, it might be a much higher rated car for you, but we give it a TCC rating of 7.4 out of 10. .
