Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Subaru Solterra than in the Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Subaru Solterra will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e.

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 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e is somewhat more expensive than the Subaru Solterra.

Dimensions
Since the Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e is much wider than the Subaru Solterra, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Subaru Solterra.

Handling
The Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e has a larger turning radius than the Subaru Solterra, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e greatly out-muscles the Subaru Solterra.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Subaru Solterra.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e and the Subaru Solterra. The Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e has less cargo space than the Subaru Solterra, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
