Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia EV6 than in the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300. The Kia EV6 will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Kia EV6 is somewhat more expensive than the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300.

Dimensions
Since the Kia EV6 is much slimmer than the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Kia EV6 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300.

Handling
The Kia EV6 has the same turning radius as the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 is clearly the choice over the Kia EV6 for pulling heavy loads. The Kia EV6 has a little more horsepower than the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300.

Powertrain
The Kia EV6 has much lower torque than the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Kia EV6 and the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300. The Kia EV6 has less cargo space than the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
