2023 Porsche Macan vs. Mercedes GLC: Performance

Porsche and Mercedes-Benz are known for their focus on high-end performance, each automaker a household name when it comes to superior engine output and race-like handling. That said, when comparing the 2023 Porsche Macan and Mercedes-Benz GLC, there is a clear winner: the Macan. Offering three powertrains across the lineup, all of the 2023 Porsche Macan engine specs blow the single engine option on the GLC away, outputting more torque, horsepower, and acceleration across the board. See the available engine specs for each model below:

2023 Porsche Macan Engine Options

  • 2.0L Turbocharged 4-Cylinder Engine: Capable of up to 261 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Can go from 0-60 mph in as little as 5.8 seconds when equipped with the Sport Chrono Package. 
  • 2.9L Twin-Turbocharged V6 Engine: Capable of up to 375 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. Can go from 0-60 mph in as little as 4.6 seconds.
  • GTS Twin-Turbocharged V6 Engine: Capable of up to 434 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque. Can go from 0-60 mph in as little as 4.3 seconds. 

2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC Engine Options

  • 2.0L Inline-4 Turbo Engine with Mild Hybrid Drive: Capable of up to 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Can go from 0-60 mph in as little as 6.2 seconds. 

With all the extra power of the Porsche Macan, it’s no surprise that it also offers more SUV utility for your Malibu drives. When you choose the 2023 Macan, you’ll enjoy up to 4,409 pounds of towing capacity, nearly 1,000 pounds more than the Mercedes-Benz GLC towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.

2023 Porsche Macan vs. Mercedes GLC: Customization

In addition to offering more power and capability for your adventures in Agoura Hills, the 2023 Porsche Macan also brings more customization to the table. When you build your Porsche Macan with Porsche Westlake, you can expect a heightened level of personalization you won’t find on the Mercedes-Benz GLC:

  • Exterior Colors: While the 2023 GLC and Macan offer a wide selection of exterior paint colors, only the Porsche Macan has an available Paint-to-Sample option, allowing you to have a Macan in any color your heart desires.
  • Seating Colors & Materials: The Mercedes-Benz GLC may provide several selections for interior color and materials for your interior upholstery, but the 2023 Macan takes it a step further with available deviated stitching and seating inserts for a one-of-a-kind design.
  • Accessory Design: Take your personalized Porsche to the next level by adding finishing touches like seatbelt colors and design, gear shift design, and steering wheel colors that match your aesthetic. These types of options are not available on the 2023 GLC.
