2025 Genesis GV70 vs Mercedes-Benz GLC Class
Rankings vs Prices
Ranked #1 among compact luxury SUVs at US News and World Report, the Genesis GV70 has clearly earned the accolades of many reviewers. The 2025 Mercedes GLC Class is currently ranked 8th. As further evidence of the GV70’s good reviews, it is also ranked #1 among all luxury SUVs with 2 rows. It is ranked #3 among all luxury crossover SUVs. In that ranking, the GLC Class falls to #52.
This is especially surprising given how Genesis shares the most important features. GV70 prices undercut Mercedes GLC prices again and again as you climb the trim ladder. You’d think that meant fewer features, but the Genesis way of piling on standard holds true at every level.
When it comes to the GLC Class, the number one complaint from most reviewers is how expensive it is. While that isn’t the number one concern of many luxury car buyers, it is still worth considering. How much do you get for your money? Can you pay the same and get much more? That’s what you’ll find when you visit your Genesis of Scottsdale dealership.
Everything you desire in a GLC SUV is available in the GV70 lineup. From the finest leathers to the most exciting technologies, you can get it in a Genesis without overpaying for the privilege. 
Peace of Mind vs Playing the Odds
Mercedes can rely on its reputation for fine craftsmanship, but Genesis has to work harder to prove itself. The GV70 2.5T is a case in point. When it came to market just a few years ago, it had to be one of the best to break out of the pack.
It proved itself with a 2022 MotorTrend SUV of the Year award. Since then, it just continues to get better and better with more exciting dash technology and more cutting-edge crash avoidance features. Plus these features are less expensive. Take adaptive cruise control, a GV70 standard. It’s not standard on the GLC.
Another way that Genesis sets the GV70 apart is by offering the leading warranty coverage of any luxury brand on the market. Not only does it exceed Mercedes coverage, but it exceeds the majority of commercial competitors, whether they make luxury or standard vehicles.

REVIEWS
”...an exceptional value without sacrificing elegance or style.”
US News and World Report
”Going with the 2.5T Standard saves you thousands over a similarly equipped Mercedes-Benz GLC or BMW X3, neither of which can match the GV70’s standard horsepower or impressively long standard warranty.”
