In an effort to keep the playing field as level as possible, we’ve compared equivalent trim levels of both the Range Rover and Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Although the Mercedes-Benz starts off with a slight advantage in terms of starting price, this head start quickly fades away as we continue down the lengthy list of advantages that come from choosing the Range Rover.
Looking first at performance, you might consider these two to be equals, considering they both feature identically sized 3.0-liter six-cylinder engines with hybrid technology. However, choosing the Range Roger Autobiography 550e means that you’ll enjoy the added benefits of plug-in hybrid technology that delivers up to 53 miles of all-electric driving range for greater efficiency. Naturally, it should come as no surprise that the Range Rover is clearly the more fuel-efficient choice across all three EPA measurement categories. Even more impressive, the Range Rover also boasts greater horsepower and a quicker 0-60 MPH time compared to the G-Class.
Turning our attention to the interiors of both the Range Rover and Mercedes-Benz G-Class reveals plenty of additional differences. You’ll experience jaw-dropping audio depth and quality from its stunning 35-speaker Meridian Signature Sound system inside the Range Rover. Those riding in the rear will be more comfortable and more entertained than they would be inside the G-Class thanks to greater legroom and a second-row touchscreen display. Ventilation for both rows of seats comes standard with the Range Rover Autobiography while you’ll have to shell out thousands extra at Mercedes-Benz for the same feature. Other advantages for the Range Rover include its power rear liftgate, larger rear cargo capacity, larger 22-inch alloy wheels, and more adjustments for the front seats.
Winner – Range Rover
It’s time to crown a champion in this head-to-head battle of two luxury SUV icons. As the data clearly illustrates, the clear winner of this matchup is the Range Rover.
