Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Lincoln Nautilus than in the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300. The Lincoln Nautilus 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.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Lincoln Nautilus as you will with the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a 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). The Lincoln Nautilus is somewhat more expensive than the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300.

Dimensions
Since the Lincoln Nautilus is much wider than the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Lincoln Nautilus, which is slightly longer than the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300.

Handling
The Lincoln Nautilus has a smaller turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Lincoln Nautilus doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Lincoln Nautilus and the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300. The Lincoln Nautilus has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300.
