Car A

Car B

Mercedes-Benz GLC 63 S AMG

The GLC 63 S AMG blends luxury credentials with serious pace from a V8 biturbo, running 0–100 km/h in 3.8 s and topping out at 280 km/h while still seating five with a 500 L trunk. Best suited to premium comfort and road trips rather than city or budget-minded use.
