Totally agree that the GLC is not as good looking as the X1. However, the GLC has a nicer more luxurious interior, IMHO, and probably better seats than the stock X1 seats.
The GLC is about 10" longer and has slightly more carrying capacity than the X1. With seats folded the X1 cargo volume (54.7 cubic feet) is nearly equal to the GLC (56.5 cubic feet), about 97%.
The X1 will be easier to park in city parking spots.
The X1 is a bit faster with a 0-60mph acceleration of 6.3s versus the GLC at 7.0s. Most likely the ride in the X1 will be sportier.
The GLC is rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The X1 is front-biased all-wheel drive only (in the US) and is available FWD-only in some markets.
Tough choice. Both have their pros and cons, and both appear to be great vehicles.
