How to Choose Between the Mercedes G-Class and Range Rover?
2 Answers
The Mercedes G-Class is a globally renowned off-road vehicle with exceptionally strong off-road capabilities, in which aspect the Land Rover Range Rover is slightly inferior. The Land Rover Range Rover is an all-terrain vehicle suitable for various usage environments, featuring more abundant interior configurations, making it more suitable for family use.
Both the G-Class and the Range Rover are top-tier SUVs, but after driving many cars, I feel the choice depends on your lifestyle. If you frequently commute in the city or travel with family, the Range Rover is more suitable—its suspension is tuned for comfort, the cabin is spacious, and long drives are less tiring, especially with the very comfortable rear seats. On the other hand, the G-Class excels off-road, but its stiff suspension can be bumpy in urban areas, and kids might complain when sitting in the back. In terms of fuel efficiency, the Range Rover hybrid is more economical, while the G-Class is thrilling to drive but consumes more fuel. Price-wise, the G-Class is more expensive but holds its value better, whereas the Range Rover boasts stronger tech features but slightly higher maintenance costs. Overall, if it's for family use or frequent highway driving, I'd recommend the Range Rover. Also, don’t forget to test-drive—preferences vary, so trying out the seats and driving visibility is key.
