*Disclosure, the GLC 43 AMG featured in this video is a 2020 model year but there have been no updates for the 2022 model year since 2020.

The BMW X3 and the Mercedes-Benz GLC primarily dominate the compact luxury SUV market. It’s a cutthroat segment in which auto manufacturers need to stay ahead of the curve to be relevant. So for the 2022 model year, the BMW X3 received a few mid-cycle updates (LCI, Life Cycle Impulse as BMW calls it) to keep it top of mind for consumers. The Mercedes-Benz GLC on the other hand hasn't seen any major changes since 2020. So is it still good enough to take on the updated X3?

The engine in the 2022 BMW X3 M40i was actually updated last year. It is a 3.0L inline-6 that can produce 382 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque (284 kW & 500 Nm). It produces enough grunt to get the 1,992 ks (4,392 lbs) body to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds. The 3.0L bi-turbo V6 under the hood of this Mercedes-Benz GLC 43 AMG 4Matic packs a pretty good punch. It produces 385 hp and 384 lb-ft of torque. Despite the SUV tipping the scales at just over 1,900 kg, it can officially accelerate to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds. Although, some other auto publications have seen the 0-100 km/h sprint finished in under 4.5 seconds. So this is a brisk compact SUV.

The 2022 BMW X3 M40i starts at $68,000 CAD ($57,800 USD). This particular demo vehicle has a price of $82,040 CAD ($64,995 USD) but it is not fully loaded. There are still a few stand-alone features that can be optioned. By comparison, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC 43 AMG 4Matic has a starting price that is just $100 off the price of the BMW X3 M40i at $67,900 CAD ($59,900 USD). This demo GLC 43 AMG was optioned to the tune of $82,990 CAD ($73,475 USD). Still not fully loaded.
