Full-size SUVs remain a favorite among American drivers, loved for their capability, versatility, and performance. Luxury SUVs take the love for SUVs to a new level with exquisite design, top-of-the-line features, and plenty of premium amenities. To highlight the original, classic Mercedes-Benz SUV, we put together a 2017 Mercedes-Benz G-Class vs 2017 Lexus LX model comparison.
The most striking difference between the SUVs is the price tag—but drivers in the market for a Mercedes-Benz will not find this surprising. The higher price tag indicates the G-Class has more to offer drivers in terms of features and amenities to enhance the driving experience. Both luxury SUVs sport a V8 engine—and even though the LX engine is bigger, the G-Class still generates significantly higher performance ratings. Both SUVs offer ample cargo room and a matched 7,000-pound towing capacity.
