Idk how I stumbled across this video but I have a GLE 450 (non coupe) and my wife has an RX350. We like the fact that the Lexus is cheaper to maintain, however, we BOTH prefer the GLE lol. The materials, fit and finish, ambient lighting, and infotainment are just next level.
She gets jealous because mine has massage seats and heated/cooled cup holders while that wasn’t even an option in hers. Don’t get me wrong, the RX is nice, but you can tell it’s not as high quality. Feels more like a premium Toyota and not a luxury car designed from ground up like the Benz. The first month we had it, the dash unglued itself in the heat but thankfully that was covered under warranty.
Overall, I’ll say the biggest thing the Lexus has going for it is the big infotainment screen, which my wife loves, but I hate how you can only interact with it via touch. I prefer mine because I RARELY touch it due to the trackpad (no fingerprints) lol
When that Benz warranty is up that tab is gonna be crazy. 😂 the Benz is tuff coming from a 2023 rx350 luxury I wish it came with massaging seats which it should. I got it used 9,350 miles Loaner for $50k instead of $65k Never signed any paperwork so all the services started new
@@LexxLuther100 you're right lol...I don't want to think about the cost to fix anything out of warranty, but I may purchase an extended warranty down the line.
Thankfully I haven't had a single issue with the Benz since purchase last year. Great deal on the RX btw.
The Mercedes interior and exterior is classy and elegant. It looks a step above the Lexus. But…I wouldn’t own one. Lease only.
Once you actually try to use one, you get the vibe that the Mercedes interior looks cool but you also quickly realise it’s all cheap materials, touching anything just feels low quality and any of the surfaces even when brand new squeak
My cousin’s brand new e class sedan (maxed out model btw) is squeaker than my 2012 Camry with 250k on the odometer
Just love how you’re not afraid to put them side by side and give praise where praise is due. More successful to you and Performer Lexus. Commenting and waiting to get my RX500h from the Philippines.
Both of these are beautiful vehicles. I’ve owned both a Lexus and Mercedes SUV, currently Lexus RX 350. The Lexus is more reliable and their customer service is superior.
Yeah, sure as if your Mercedes left you stranded on the side of the road 10 times or something
Please sir, if you have any small car you wish to dash out, kindly help me out sir, I really need a car🙏🙏🙏
What about Gear Box ?
@@Ryan2022 I don't think the OP said that the Mercedes left them stranded anywhere. They only said that the Lexus is more reliable, which isn't too surprising.
@@Ryan2022 he only stated the truth
thank you for doing a comparison for these two cars! I'm getting the RX customized for my mom and a GLE coupe customized for me and this video confirms I made the right choices for the both of us!
I already drive a Lexus and enjoy my vehicle. I recommend a Lexus no matter which you would like to drive. Very classy ride. It doesn't break down like other vehicles. Smooth ride. 😊
it's crazy that I couldn't find any comparison for this two cars, this is exact two models I'm trying to decide which one to get. So far Lexus is winning. Thank you for this video!
Same here. So happy that he posts content we can actually use
The LEXUS RX class all day….i have owned an Rx 350 and i can tell you that Panda doesnt break and i always feel more comfortable sitting in any Lexus than any car ❤
I have both and I’m very happy. My Lexus has the best ride. This is my eighth RX. It is the hybrid this time. My Mercedes is my retirement gift to myself. However, my zRX is also my retirement gift in going back to work.
I’d take the lexus all day. If the Mercedes breaks down or needs attention in middle of winter as your on a ski trip to Vermont good luck getting it fixed and making it home on time.
why is that?
Exactly…many people know how to work on Mercedes
I’ve been enjoying this series. I appreciate Lexus for having Digital Key, Digital Rearview Mirror, cornering lights, headlight washers, 6 piston front calipers and carpeted front wheel wells… things not available on this GLE. Also, the Mark Levinson with 21 speakers beats out the GLE’s 13 speaker Burmester.
Mercedes gives me street creds and admiration from girls fr fr
GLE is the best !!!!!
ok. I was on the fence. thanks ill buy the GLE
Unfortunately your comparison isn't correct. You should have compared the non-coupe GLE450. The Mercedes build quality and displays are excellent and the space is amazing. The Lexus doesn't compare in the back seat for sure. I have a 2024 GLE450e wish the pinnacle trim and it is amazing. So is the BMW X5 but the Mercedes have the most amazing seats any and the largest back seat. Need to redo your video if you want to compare. No offence!
Love those comparison video, if those were my two choices i would pick Lexus. I love Mercedes but reliability, apparent inside creaks and craks from the dash seems concerning on the actual quality level. But Lexus has to bring the 3.5. I am not a fan of the new RX interior, it’s missing something but I am not able to put the finger on it. It could be the black dash and lack of contrast. That piano black plastic.. it’s not luxury to me.
probably ambient lighting
If you want the Mercedes experience only lease it for 3 years, they are notorious for unreliability and they over complicate their designs which leads to greater breakdowns and repairs. German parts are super expensive and hard to get a hold of. I personally wouldn’t get any German cars for the same reason.
Thank you for this most through review! I’m in love with that aggressive front end and massive Mercedes emblem and the snub on the backside but absolutely despise gas on passenger side. As a whole I like the Mercedes w larger front seats BUT the gas on passenger side is a deal breaker. The Lexus does have some nice luxury features but I’m still not sold. So I’m still shopping.
I have the RX so,that is my answer..the Mercedes is beautiful but I am a faithful Lexus buyer
RX is competing with the GLC, not the GLE
Lexus looks more modern.
I have leased several of both these models and currently have the MB. From a reliability and cost of ownership - Lexus. Comfort, pickup and overall ride - MB. Over the last 6 years, I've wanted to return to the RX, but the exterior look is too racy/sporty and not classy. They need to return to there earlier look which is what I love about MB.
I would take the LEXUS RX 500 F SPORT HYBRID anywhere, anytime, any day. I would put my neck on a chopping block that I would get to where I’m going without a hassle, breakdown or worry. I owned the Regular RX and I traveled across America driving for work to different states and can say I NEVER had any problems with my engine. I saw Mercedes on the roadside and Mandy other makes of vehicles but not a LEXUS. ❤
I love my RX as I am on my forth one. I choose reliability over fancy .
Please do a similar comparison between RX350 and Volvo XC90. 2025 models. Thank you
Lexus has a nice interior. Quality and dependability is generally top notch however Lexus interior design is not even in the same neighborhood as the Mercedes.
Lexus you finance/purchase and Mercedes you lease. The maintenance on Mercs are insane.
What good is the MB spare tire if you have two different sets of tires on the front and back ofo the vehicle? What if I the flat is on the size of tire that you don’t have a spare for?
Carry the smaller size tyre as the spare - recommended by my MB dealer - change back the larger tyre has been repaired.
E class vs ES, if possible
Great video. Honestly, now I'm more confused 🤔. I am in the market for RX but the NX is gaining favor 😊. Just today, I looked at a Mercedes GLC, I dont like the coupe. The one, I dont see in alot of Lexus is the double sunroofs, thats a bummer. The Mercedes inside, so darn classy with a the bells and whistles missing from the standard RX. Help 😊😂
If it's difficult to decide, just ask yourself: how often do I want to visit my dealer for unplanned service?
Difference is that you can be a real owner of GLE but you can never be a real owner of RX here in Toronto
Mercedes good for the name but I never buy only for lease if I want to buy and own I will pick lexus all day thanks for sharing your video
The Merc looks a class above int and ext. Merc has 4,6 or 8 cyl choices. Having owned several of both brands Lexus wins easily on cost of scheduled service and reliability. 4 cyl onl Lexus is deal breaker for me as is Merc cost both initial and service not to mention after warranty. I have moved on from both. However there is no perfect alternative. Between these two I would take the GLE and lease.
Lexus is lucky the German brands have poor reliability, and is expensive to maintain. If the German brands had those two things, Lexus would be crushed, the Mercedez looked way better; especially the interior.
Compare the RX vs GX vs LX in a single frame ❤
i had this screen replaced twice because it will go off and restart the vehicle it won't work
Fabulous cars.
I would take the Mercedes. I have had both. The worst thing about Mercedes is the cost of services.
Pass on Benz for me... Lexus much much better on longggg run
Love ya Dustin hunti however if it isn’t Mercedes, it just isn’t. Only exception is the LX and its Toyota LC sister.
I’m never a fan of the gas on the passenger side that would make or break a sale for me
The lines on the size of the lex is the same as the highlander.........
as a RX450H owner with the good old V6Hybrid i would rather go with one of the last RX450H with my Powertrain or switch to Mazda´s new inline 6cyl. Diesel ! A 4cyl in such a heavy car is´nt my taste and yes i drove the new RX450H; handling is much improved but the crying 4cyl under Autobahn speeds; no thanks
traffic jam mode .... can we take our hands off the steering wheel?
I had to pause the video at 0.08 seconds to run into the comments and tell you how cool you are 🐼🤣😉
I would like to compare BMW X7 and the RX350
I like the way the Japanese make their cars,they don't shout but they are so good,in South Africa most people are slowly catching up with the Lexus brand ,those who know are ditching their German cars like,Audi, Mercedes and BMW for this germ
I thought the touch pad was terrible idea for screen control, why mercedes still has it, and lexus doesn't
The MB is beautiful I love both but choose the Rx350
I think the Lexus looks way more unique
The GLE is way too common these days
I will still take the Lexus over the Benz. It just looks and feels classier. As far as the Mercedes being able to turn off sensors for the car wash......Yikes! I would NEVER, EVER take my car to any car wash. Whether it be full service or self-service wash. I am waaaaaaay too particular in what touches the paint on my cars and only I am allowed to clean/wash my cars and only at my home.
What would be a comparable Lexus vehicle to a Kia Telluride size comfort amenities, all-wheel-drive
The Mercedes doesn’t look elegant inside though it wins for exterior. The Mercedes’ neon light looks so gimmicky and cheap. Yes, Tesla’s also looks gimmicky. I also prefer actual leather. The “oh crap” bars look obtrusive and silly. That said, the Lexus could stand to look a bit less bland inside.
In my view, there’s no contest-the GLE outshines the RX in every aspect, including performance, design, interior quality, and luxury. That said, when it comes to reliability and resale value, Lexus takes the lead.
No to lexus !! 👎 yes to gle450👍
But gle can do off road which lexus 350 Can't
You are joking right? Toyota/Lexus are the best offroaders on the planet
Hell no Mercedes is a better drive all the way Lexus is cheap looking in the inside as well.
You obviously don't know the engineering that goes into making a lexus.
Of course the GLE. It's obvious.
Nope.
Red panda is best panda.
I like purple panda
RX if you are concerned about money. otherwise...
Hows that a FULL comparison without a drive test ?
Rx500h all day everyday
not really fair to compare with a Lexus... can there be any question about which is better? Give me a Lexus ANY day...
Shouldn’t we compare RX 350 Vs. GLE 350? Great vehicles.
Mdx
Lexus all day
