Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the Honda Civic Hybrid than in the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300, due to the Honda Civic Hybrid's smaller rear head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Honda Civic Hybrid and the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 in the front seats.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Honda Civic Hybrid as you will with the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

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). Based on MSRP, the Honda Civic Hybrid is clearly a better financial choice over the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300.

Dimensions
Since the Honda Civic Hybrid 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. The Honda Civic Hybrid is slightly shorter than the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300, which may make it easier to park.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Honda Civic Hybrid is significantly less powerful than the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.

Powertrain
The Honda Civic Hybrid has much less 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 the same number of people in both the Honda Civic Hybrid and the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300.
