The Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S, BMW X3M Competition, Alfa Romeo Stelvio, and Jaguar F-Pace SVR are almost evenly matched when it comes to power and build. So that only means one thing: we want a race to see which one is superior.

Before pitting them against each other, here’s a rundown on the key specifications of the competitors:

1. Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S

The AMG GLC 63 S is equipped with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine producing 510 hp and 700 Nm of torque. All its power goes to an all-wheel-drive system and is distributed via a nine-speed automatic transmission with launch control. It weighs 1,950 kg, and it is the most expensive of the bunch with a price tag of £93,400.

2. BMW X3M Competition

The Bimmer boasts a 3.0-liter twin-turbo straight-six setup with 510 hp and 650 Nm of torque going to an all-wheel-drive system and distributed by an eight-speed automatic transmission with launch control. Weighing at 2,010 kg, the German SUV is worth £84,765.

3. Alfa Romeo Stelvio

The Stelvio has the least engine displacement with its 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 delivering 510 hp and 600 Nm of torque.
