    I like the description of ‘plantedness’ you attached to your description of the GLE. It is true, it looks ‘planted’! While I think Mercedes Benz have lost the way somewhat in recent times, particularly with the plethora of multiple car types that has diluted and seriously damaged the brand, they are doing a better job than BMW who have some serious lemons in the current lineup, including the awful and brutal iX. Both could take a design lesson from Land Rover with their new sport!

      ​​@@brettweltz8135There are no constant repairs. Sure it will be expensive to maintain (expensive parts), but Lexus parts ain't cheap either. If ease of maintenance and cheap parts were the first priority, both these vehicles would be out of the picture (we would be considering Sentras or Elantras ).

  • @juni5352

    I used to love Merc but their design philosophy has become a bit boring. Lexus is also similar with select models but my gosh, this GX is truly polarizing and it feels like they are going for the jugular's of competitive models including the JLR Defender, Ford Bronco and even the G-Wagon. I personally wouldn't know what to do with a GX since wouldn't be off-roading it but would be great to see if they push out an F-Sport variant with a slightly more "urban" feel to it.

    Funny that the video moderator failed to mention maintenance and reliability costs and differences! Also, studies have shown that physical buttons are safer and preferred by most drivers! Trying to navigate climate and other controls via a glass panel is dangerous as it forces one to take one's eyes off of the road more often!

Its not a rock crawler forsure, it's best environment situation would be in dunes as it's bounce mode will get it unstuck in the sand. But to be honest the Gx would likely compete with the Gls instead of Gle as they match up far better.

    Lexus is the no-brainer choice here. I don't care how nice the Mercedes is, it doesn't measure up at all. I don't like the way it looks from the side with the weird tapering rear overhang, and I don't like the Mercedes interior either. It looks super gimmicky, and the next GLE is probably going to have a different gimmicky interior, unlike the Lexus where everything just seems functional and timeless in comparison. I think the Lexus will age better.
    I'd have the new Landcruiser 250 over either of these though. Simpler is pretty much always better.
