Now we are 9 years later and see it from a different angel. The MB is still a good looking and impressiv car. The Q7 looks a bit older and a bit more boring this times. After many Audis I swapped to Mercedes and I like them more now. Maybe I just getting older. There is a say: There are cars and there is Mercedes. You have to drive them a while to know why and even then, you can't tell why you feel that way.
Don't know which version of the GL was tested her. Mine lowers automatically at speed, active cornering keeps it totally flat. Driving the two it was just no context, and I haven't even started talking about interior space. Guess Mercedes has listened and updated the 2013 model where it should have...
+Jim Bo Generic and unimpressive comes to mind when looking at the GL. The cuts and style lines of the Q7 are sleeker, sportier, and sexier. I won't bother addressing your pitiful 1950's comparison, given how far from reality it is
Every country makes different kinds of cars so you can't say this country makes a better car or this country should stop making cars. Some people like big husky cars and some like small little coupes! You can't compare a dodge pickup to a Ferrari!
Both cars are excellent and I believe that humans have different opinions of which one looks better I would choose the g-class for the interior and the exterior beauty that it has
For those who say that Mercedes is crap, they are wrong, my father has the same truck and it is not bad at all, people feel pretty for saying that a luxury car is not good, as if they have a lot of money
Funny how the American definition of large is totally different than everywhere else in the world 😂 The GL could be classified as large but definitely not XL, and the Q7 would be a midsize SUV in the States. Over here it's not uncommon to see F250's being used as daily drivers... depending on model, they're up to 6 1/2m long and 2m tall🙄
the audi beats the mercedes bullshit you dont buy a big offroader liker that to be great on road and the audi wins buy being good on road but the merc wins off road i think the merc should have won that as it is better off road and the test is off road bullshit
they are called sports utility vehicles, they are not made for off road what so ever, they made them so that they can go off road but they are ment to be driven on road, audi a6 and a8 are both 4 wheel drive but again they are for road use
Subaru has best all wheel driven system in cars now. Symmetric all wheel drive. Volvo has best rust protection among all production cars now. It has also longest lasting engines and best safety and comfort. D5 diesel can easy make 700 000 km. The same like Mercedes, but Mercedes rusts much more than Volvo. Most reliable is Honda, Subaru Mazda and Toyota. Most satisfied clients has Lexus. German cars are not best in any discipline. Maybe only in price - they are most expensive.
Daniel Z A Subaru forester is no were near as good as a Mercedes GL off road nor would it be as comfortable to drive off road. Subaru's AWD technology is very impressive and for 99% of SUV buyers it is suitable for. Now for people that want serious off road driving the GL is more for this and it offers comfort. But if a person wants a hardcore off road vehicle then the Mercedes GL is not for them and obviously they already know this. The would more than likely go for a G class, Land Rover defender, Toyota Land Cruiser or Jeep.
Statens Vegvesen well. i have a GL 450 and my wife just bought the 2017 forester. its a dam good car and full of saftey features. the lane departure and self cruise control are much better than in my GL. I never been a subaru fan, in fact I wanted the CRV or RAV4, but these forester is a dam good car. the touring version is my favorite. i dont change my GLS but these little suv is well worth it
ive had an 07 gl 450 for 170000 miles its an amazing car the fuel economy is that of 9 mpg (i have a lead foot) and iv had to replace both air ride bags 3 times on each side it eats through air ride bags and springs (about 890 to replace one side 1600 to replace both rear and same for the front) all in all i love the car i test drove a 2018 gls 550 and it felt too electronic the only thing i wish for on the gl is more horsepower and faster gear changes
my red subaru tribeca looks 10 times better inside n out,plus its probally a 100 times more reliable at the cost of less than half the price of these ugly blocks of rip off steels
Yes ok, but what's to say people can't just buy estate cars instead? With a 4x4, even family oriented ones like these, it's good to know that you're driving a vehicle which has the capability to take you off road if you are faced with such a situation. What I was saying with my comment is that this test should be based on their off roading capabilities, not their practicality. Or even both, but because they are off road vehicles, they should be primarily tested for their off road use.
Ok so I have both in my driveway. I wanted the gl and my wife wanted the q7. Now she steals my vehicle constantly. I wish we never purchased that out of date boring looking q7. Mercedes has better looks, more comfort, more cargo. After time the q7 does not handle as good as it use to. Last I want to see the q7 attempt to achieve 30mpg like the gl class does. At worst my turbo diesel gl gets 28 on the highway. So this is my non biased review having both. Didn't know which direction to go in the beginning. Gl class hands down. Interior also held together better. No noise.

Mercedes GL is awesome with amazing features.
The gl looks much beter tham q7 and is much more luxury car...
There is not a single mercedes that looks in any way better than a AUDI
Wolfgang K. Should have gone Specsavers
@W K. cz u are an audi fanboy who can't see the real
W K. Its ur opinion only one count
Q7 is nicer than the GL
Best car review ever! Whoever wrote the script has delved deeply into majestic Literature.
Don't know which version of the GL was tested her. Mine lowers automatically at speed, active cornering keeps it totally flat. Driving the two it was just no context, and I haven't even started talking about interior space.

Gl super
If the q7 is not a good fuel economy then I will stick will Benz but I like the Q7 design better
Fuck Audi it's just a fancy Volkswagen. I luv u mercedes the best or nothing.
with its twoooo point three tons driving weight it can hit 60 mph in niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine point ooooooooooone seconds!
I have a gl and no, it takes the corners much better than the q7
How do you know if you haven't driven a q7
Mercedes is way better Audi doesn't know how to make trucks but they now how to make cars Mercedes is way better
Never heard of "Ordi" before...
Merc is the Best ! ! !
Pussy galord
Merc is much better car.
Q7 looks like 1950's design - out of date.
+Jim Bo You're high

1950’s lol your grandparents probably weren’t even born yet in 1950
audi wins
gl350 all day
i saw a video of a Q7 going up a 50 degree incline. it did it just fine!
the GL is no question a much better value an package 1st class forget the audi Q7 awkward not a real off road just a wanabe GL....

I love how he thinks those suvs are as big as they come. Look at ford expedition,excursion,chevy tahoe, suburban. Wayyyyy bigger.
My friends dad has one of these! Their nice,The merc
Both cars are excellent and I believe that humans have different opinions of which one looks better I would choose the g-class for the interior and the exterior beauty that it has
The Q7 Wins this race, Maybe next time Mercedes!!! :-)
Q7 is good but GL 350 is best
I take Mercedes 😎👍
Bobio Egam my gl is now 12 years old yet it still drives like its brand new. Best car I’ve ever bought!
For those who say that Mercedes is crap, they are wrong, my father has the same truck and it is not bad at all, people feel pretty for saying that a luxury car is not good, as if they have a lot of money
no gl is better better better

The audi with this cheap timing belt will go out in this epic offroad and say bye to the engine! :(
Yeah I do but its always good to know youre vehicle is capable of doing off roading tasks, thats an important reason why people buy 4x4s
my mahindra scorpio is better
Mercedes GL very well oiled luxury machine. Exceptional comfort! after you drove the GL the Q7 feels like a garbage truck.
GL Class!
The Mercedes may be luxurious but the audies are so so so so soooooooooooo much better looking and we chose the audi q7 over the newest gl
his voice belongs to a documentary about birds in the amazon
I would take any of those two.
Q7
Bring the GL 550 with a 5.5 382HP V8 then we will see who is slow.
Well then Audi will bring the Q7 6.0 V12 TDI so please...
12 years later and our 2010 GL450 with 165k miles is still going strong. Looks near new, and no problems besides a starter replacement.
Mercedes, of course!!! 😎
Wait, so the Q7 wins because it is better on the road, but they are 4x4's and are designed for off-roads?
So which of the two is the better choice for Oxfam/Save the Children Aid Workers?
GL wins this battle... :D i mean he is HIGHER,,faster,, ;)
Just take the Audi Q7 , it's a unique car
An Audi is a VW with led headlights. Mercedes is waaay better.

I want one of those Mercedes Benz 450 GL.
GL baby!
The Merc GL is probaby the best family merc ever build. Simply better than the sedans.
Only ○○○○ Audi
Mercedes bitches
Love u king ♥MERCEDES♥
audi q7 👍👍😎
they are called sports utility vehicles, they are not made for off road what so ever, they made them so that they can go off road but they are ment to be driven on road, audi a6 and a8 are both 4 wheel drive but again they are for road use

I HAVE A GL450 FROM 07 TOO :)
@@pnisvegetarianbattlehurstt8013 me too I have a 2010 but the air suspension is annoying, but the interior is so luxurious even after all these years
Mercedes Benz the king of the cars
Ordi Q7 WTFFF?
no they are designed for off road, jeep wrangler is designed for off road these aren't, these are family cars
my red subaru tribeca looks 10 times better inside n out,plus its probally a 100 times more reliable at the cost of less than half the price of these ugly blocks of rip off steels
Yes an SL for the single guy but a GL for the family guy who wants a sports car performance characteristic.
well i have a clk for work and gl for weekends, i am a merc fan
I choose Mercedes
@rangerover06sc Why would he care? By the time they get to europe they cost similar to euro cars but they're built like shit and there are no dealers.
Never have I heard it pronounced 'or-di! 😂
long/match talked but the short and stupid resume...
so wat:
who is better and how is that ...?
Mercedes make trucks Audi don't!
I dont know....but its prettier and COLLER...THAN Q7 ,Q7 can you tell me what is the production year ... Of Bout Cars.....Thank You
Pfffffff, this guy knows nothing of american full sized suvs, they come much bigger then these.
I own a gl320cdi I love it but wish it was the 420cdi.
watching this while indulging in some "valley of the dear"
you know 90% of buyers out there who pay so much for that car will never ever take it off road@8150shaf
Audi looks like sausage with wheels
This guy said this is the big as they come have seen a Chevy suburban or Escalade ext
Gl super
I like gl450 better then porche jk
Q7
terrible narration. ..shocking!!! lol ...I've never had an awwdi before or a mehhhrrcedes....shocking
Some twat smashed my ml up last night so I'm getting a gl next too many q7s on the road and I think the tricked out gl look better than the q7

Back when cars were actually cars
Mercedes fog light burnt out at 3:38. Which is better vehicle Audi or Mercedes?
he said mercedes, more space, more confort, more luxury and better for off road
Who wrote the dialogue for this ? "Cute" wing mirrors, "Baleful " headlights, and an interior like an "orbital glider" - whatever that is ?
Guys... Audi is not a fancy Volkswagen... So a Lamborghini is a fancy audi? A Ferrari is a fancy Fiat?
Hello bro what is the cost of Benz GL car cost
that voice is so boring and annoying that i can't watch the whole movie
Ok so I have both in my driveway. I wanted the gl and my wife wanted the q7. Now she steals my vehicle constantly. I wish we never purchased that out of date boring looking q7. Mercedes has better looks, more comfort, more cargo. After time the q7 does not handle as good as it use to. Last I want to see the q7 attempt to achieve 30mpg like the gl class does. At worst my turbo diesel gl gets 28 on the highway. So this is my non biased review having both. Didn't know which direction to go in the beginning. Gl class hands down. Interior also held together better. No noise.
Both are great cars but expensive to maintain them
This guy has never seen a chevy suburban... lmao
they actually do come A LOT bigger than this lmfao
Q7 with a max speed of 216 kilometres an hour? I am surprised!
What the fuck do you expect to do with it? Race? Its a god damn SUV
he whistles while he talks...impressive!
What's the model of the GL?
that is the older Q7 though and the brand new GL
I'll take to Jeep Wrangler Unlimited please!!!
