Drivetrain
The GMC Yukon uses a 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 with Dynamic Fuel Management producing 313kW and 624Nm of torque, sent through a 10-speed automatic to a 4WD layout.
The Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe responds with a Petrol making 190kW and 400Nm, paired to a automatic driving all four wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 7 seconds.
The GMC Yukon has the clear power advantage at 313kW vs 190kW. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
For towing, the GMC Yukon leads with a 3,628kg braked capacity vs 2,000kg. That 1,628kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
Neither U-turns in one sweep on a 7 m local street (both need a three-point turn); the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe's turning circle is 0.5 m tighter, 11.9 m against 12.4 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.
Cost to own
At 15,000 km a year, fuel for the GMC Yukon costs about $3,648 a year (12.8 L/100km) and fuel for the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe about $2,195 a year (7.7 L/100km), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh. That is $1,453 a year less for the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe.

Where each one leads
The GMC Yukon: more power (313kW against 190kW) and the higher braked towing limit (3,628kg against 2,000kg).
The Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe: the lower starting price ($111,400 against $174,990), the longer warranty (5 years against 3) and lower fuel or energy costs on our assumptions ($2,195 a year against $3,648).

How to read this page. Prices, specifications, ANCAP ratings, warranty, the CarSorted Score and the verdict come from our records for the grades shown, sourced from the manufacturers' Australian documents, and change when those records change; the date each was last checked is printed under the headline. Prices are recommended retail prices before on-road costs unless marked drive-away. A plug-in hybrid's fuel figure is labelled with its basis: with a full battery (the certified combined figure) or as a hybrid (battery depleted). Charging and running costs are estimates on the stated assumptions. Always confirm price and specification with the manufacturer or dealer before you buy.
