Full-size SUVs remain highly-popular among American drivers, loved for their capability, versatility, and sheer size. Luxury SUVs take everything you love about standard SUVs and amplifies it with exquisite styling, premium features, and plenty of amenities to spoil passengers. To highlight the iconic Mercedes-Benz SUV, we did a 2017 Mercedes-Benz G-Class vs 2017 Land Rover Range Rover comparison.
The most striking difference between the two SUVs is the price tag—but drivers in the market for a Mercedes-Benz will likely not find this deterring. While the G-Class offers drivers plenty of design customization options, it only offers one engine option compared to the Rang Rover's three. The G-Class generates more horsepower and torque than the Range Rover's two smallest engines. Both SUVs offer similar cargo and towing capacities, although the Range Rover offers more of both.
