Lol! I actually have money and got a Lexus RX and a G-wagen (its wagen not wagon.) Well I didn't get it... My neurosurgeon dad did. My mom whom works for the CIA has a Bentley. Lol.
@@Maria-im7li Sure because CIA agents are millionaires right... LMAO Everyone knows what a govt servant's salary can go up to. GTFO here. Basement troll!
For me I'd want the GLS, but the huge remote for the X7 looks awesome. Drew and Mason, excellent side by side comparison. No pressure on the 2020 Subaru Legacy, you two are wonderful. Also I love that you guys used y'all on your vote list. I went to college in the south, so it took me back.
I have the BMW X7 with that same remote. Its battery runs out pretty quick and needs constant recharging. When i am ready for a trade in, i would definatly get one without that remote interface.
@@Al13n1nV8D3R thank you for sharing. The X7 is a 2020 model year vehicle with no standard Apple car play and Android Auto. It's odd to me for a vehicle at the price point it's at.
@@rickyloganjr.2362 Your welcome, i agree i wish mines had that infotainment option to use Android Auto too because I own a Android phone. But I think they did this to get people to upgrade their cars and trucks every 3 to 5 years when the updated model is released.
I cant believe that you applied the way you do not give score for less than 5 % difference. Such a clever way and reliable. You deserve to get 100k subscriber goal. Good luck.
Joseph Friedman no it’s not for example from the top of my head Apple CarPlay takes the full display so you get the full experience unlike MBUX oh and also no wireless CarPlay in the Merc
Very nice job on the comparison. Currently in the market to replace our GL550. On the GL550, it definitely feels like you’re isolated from all the noise. Very comfortable ride that makes the trips between NorCal & SoCal effortless. It can also haul lots of equipment. It has over 200K miles on it now. On the other hand, I drive a X5 with M package & feels very sporty. I’ve thought about XC90 or Q7, but keep falling back to GLS or X7.
Many release reviews of the GLS stated the interior was not high enough quality for the segment (remember this is competing with the Range Rover also) have sat in both cars and it’s 100% right the materials used in the X7 are of a higher quality than the GLS. Mercedes need to do more. Everyone that says oh the Mercedes is better has not sat in both cars and or simply has a Mercedes bias
I didn’t really like the styling on the X7 when it came out but now I think it looks pretty good since I’ve seen a few in person. I’m not a huge fan of the GLS towards the back. Maybe it’ll grow on me. I’ll probably go with the X7 for it’s style. The interiors and features are pretty well matched
I went to see both of these this past weekend. I am a Mercedes s550 owner and usually a die hard Mercedes fan, but this BMW blew the Mercedes truck away. The interior on the BMW was just gorgeous and felt like a luxury car where the Mercedes still feels like a SUV. The Mercedes had smaller narrow seats by comparison too. The ambient lighting inside the BMW was striking. Center console was gorgeous. Mercedes was boring by comparison and not nearly as comfortable to sit in. I didn't drive them, but for the first time in my book, the BMW was by far the more luxurious vehicle for me.
hey AJ,would you take it easy on the merc dude,merc people get ripped off all the time by that hard plastics you just mentioned and its not a problem,ultimately its all about that three pointed star.the wheels on that GLS are hideous or is it just me who saw that.i personally dont think merc people gets value for their money.But apart from that it was a great video.
GLS has a Napa leather interior option that would have been a better comparison to the BMW’s leather. I know many people like the two toned leather seating, I don’t. What I like about GLS is you can upgrade to an executive plus back seat option with heated/ventilated/massage features just like front seats with a tablet that allows you to control the options built in. I like to sit in back on a 10 hr round trip I do every 3 months so my husband can listen to sports & I can put on noise cancelling headphones in back & listen to what I want. I also deal with back pain so this option is as important to me as ride comfort & quiet. I’m doing the option to take it further with a sound cancelling barrier. I like the interior lighting options & layout inside better on Mercedes. If I was younger, I’m sure the BMW would be more appealing because it’s sportier. Of course, I couldn’t have afforded it when I was younger! They’re both great vehicles so it comes down totally to personal preferences.
For children these guys make an excellent video. I just subscribed. Think their opinions are honest and I look forward to watching other new 2020 car review videos.
I think the Mercedes looks slab sided and the rear looks like a hippo. But I like the interior more. They both look undone from the outside but I would take the Mercedes.

Many perks on the GLS were not mentioned, including the fact that with captains chairs you can walk through the middle seat in the GLS, but you can't in the X7.
Can someone tell me what car it is at 11:45 ? It's weird, the back looks like a modified bmw x5, and the side also reminds me a bit of bmw style language, except the shape of the Windows.

There's some really cool features though behind the looks like the whole sunroof lights up, automatic rear shades, third row has climate control and sunroof, automatic parking, and more
Johnathan B The X7 (is larger and has more wheelbase than the GLS) and has captain seats that can recline, which is of high quality. The GLS is also good, but not as good as the X7
Mercedes was my favorite brand but I had so many issues with gls, I don’t think I’ll buy another Mercedes again. Maybe G63 because it looks good but Mercedes gls was not very reliable. Same with BMW 550. I dont like the way this new gls’s rear end looks.
I was rooting for the x7 the whole time!!! I’ve always been a Mercedes fan but this year they let me down with the exterior design. Like Mercedes is always known for that aggressive mean face. And I’m wondering what happened to that this year. Like the Mercedes GLS needs a face lift up. And an aggressive look especially for that high price.
Interior quality and use of materials is a big deal to me, and since BMW is ahead in that part, I’d take the X7.
Would you be OK to explain why? I don't really mind that aspect as I don't think I'm spending my time feeling the inside of the car. I suppose the looks matter more to me, not really the materials

gls will drive big. I have a 2019 GLS 450, not fun to drive. great for the family though. X7 is tighter.
The X7 all day
I love those cars, I’ll buy them both. Oh its easy to forget, I can’t afford either of the two.
I'd choose the X7, hands down. Its just styled with a little more refinement. And, the two-tone interior gives the car more character.

It just got redesigned 🤦♂️
george ibrahim I know! I meant a new new facelift because the new facelift not good enough imho!

Yes & especially the posterior designs

The X7 is just a better SUV in my opinion!!
Exterior- X7
Interior- GLS
Hands down X7 is the best large SUV!
Many release reviews of the GLS stated the interior was not high enough quality for the segment (remember this is competing with the Range Rover also) have sat in both cars and it’s 100% right the materials used in the X7 are of a higher quality than the GLS. Mercedes need to do more. Everyone that says oh the Mercedes is better has not sat in both cars and or simply has a Mercedes bias
Both the GLS and X7 are amazing cars
Seems quieter in the BMW
BMW IS PERFECT CAR.

BMW is 2 steps higher than the new GLS. Performance wise, the X7 M50i is a monster.
I love both as I love both M-B and BMW. Overall though, I'd probably choose the X7.
To the Lord Jesus Christ all the power and the glory and the praise. Thank you, Lord, for your undying love. Amen.

Nice review, but I was expecting these flagship vehicles to have V8 engines.
They do. An option
Mark A
Yes, as an option. I thought the test vehicles should be equipped with that option.
X7 has a better presence on the road. GLS looks so outdated and boring.
I always prefer mercedes cars over bmw (apart from M category sedans), but I think BMW has the edge on this one. Both stunning cars!
Types of vehicles you Lease...
Very accurate
Why
@@sothickitssickk Because after about 100k miles they become problematic, and repairs are costly.
@@LondonHasFallin what do you mean 100k miles, as soon as that 4yr 50k mile warranty is over both these cars are nightmares!
@@sothickitssickk In addition to the high cost of ownership after warranty expires, the fact that they lose ~70% of their value the first 3-4 years.
With years technology has changed. Can you be able to do same comparison for 2023 or 2024 version for 3 row seat vehicles of BMW vs Benz vs Audi
