This is the worst vehicle comparison I have ever seen. You obviously did not do your research on ether vehicle especially the Lexus. The silly hooks you keep referring to are for a cargo net. If you actually knew luxury vehicles, practically all of them come with one. The Lexus does not have as much cargo storage because it comes with a full size spare vs the Benz only has a pump and solution to fill a flat but your out of luck if you get a blowout! NOT because of the hybrid battery. The battery is actually located underneath the rear seats. The seating space is limited when you hopped in because "ease of entry/exit" is turned on which moves the seat fully back and steering wheel out of the way to allow the drive greater ease of entering or exiting the vehicle. I've worked at both Lexus and Mercedes and you are not doing ether brand name any good with this garbage comparison. I can only rant about the beginning because I couldn't get through the rest of the lies you are telling from lack of knowledge.
Yep and what’s with the 100k quote you keep telling everyone about the Lexus? The top of the line RX 450h MSRP is about 60k (Invoice at 54k). So you’re compare a 60k to a 100k car??
I left Lexus for BMW and I love my BMW but I have to say I am beginning to see some of the advantages of SUV's and The Lexus RX seems to own this space.
I have seen another reveiw showing this same Lexus having more space than its German rivals. At the end of the day it depends on the sitting position set compared to the front seats. But for sure the Lexus is more comfortable and exhumes more Luxury than the Merc and would be choice instantly. Nice comparison though
Very off-topic, but would just like to know if you own a crossover? I saw that you have a Miata NC and, if I'm not mistaken, a white Toyota Avensis? Dad wants a Tiguan. :)
I own an MX-5. The white Avensis was a test car. I told my parents to buy a Tiguan. The have Mk1 FL, and are very pleased with it. The new Tiguan IMO is not as good. Or maybe the competition pulled their act together. If you can find Mk1 Tiguan - take it!
Both are way overpriced. I was in a small SUV market until few days ago and tried most of them, ended with 2016 sx4, 4x4, diesel. Price was just to good and sx4 is no bad car. No one has 4x4, diesel car even close to that price, Duster a side.
Please don't compare a midsize luxury suv (rx, GLE) to a small crossover car. Just because you can't afford it doesn't mean it's overpriced. The RX is a car you can own for the rest of your life.
Lexus should make the car cost around 80k considering the overall space and quality. But yeah, it has better reliability, compared to money pit mercedes (previous owner).
CY i am also wondering what real problems you know that tge car has? cos i am concidering buying one. have been trying to find any from its customers, but really can not find any serious problems. if i do the same to audi or mercedes i allways find 3-8 rear problems of parts or componentse that get loos, brake or wear down very fast
Annoyingly Mercedes always package seat memory in 'Premium' or 'Premium Plus' packages - it's standard on the X5/RX/XC90 so god knows why Mercedes insist on charging extra (I think Audi might do the same on the Q7...or at least they used to)
Merc GLE AMG sounds better and feel better to drive Merc. Lexus is also nice, but its futuristic design makes it look outdate so quick. European cars are best :)
w zwiazku z wpadkami mercedesa i traktowaniem klientow zdecydowalem sie na lexusa. Niemieckie auta juz nie są takie jak kiedyś. W bmw i oplu spotkalem sie kilka razy z silnikami, co byly wymieniane na gwarancji, mercedes... szkoda słów, sprawdzcie sami na necie co ostatnio dzieje sie z AMG za milion złotych. Moze i lex nie jest tak wypasiony w nowoczesnosc, ale przynajemniej niezawodny, a to na dzisiaj dla mnie jest najwazniejsze. Poza tym, kto spróbuje japonii, to nie bedzie chcial innego samochodu.
Idk why, but no matter how hard LEXUS works, the overall appearance/design on the interior and exterior looks cheap. Although the stats are great for LEXUS, asian cars can never beat the luxurious brand of Benz.
@Jasvin Jeyakumar you can't be cheap when you drive a mercedes, you gotta do your regular and preventative maintenance, they can last forever, specially diesel
I'm sure it depends on the market, but generally speaking cars lose about 40-50% of their value within 5 years. That being said, with the current shortage of new cars, used cars tend to hold up their value much better, than they used to before the pandemic.
The Mercedes was better than the Lexus in almost every way. That navigation screen was too small and stretched out in the Lexus. It wasn't nearly as elegant. And it looked more like a sports car than a luxury car. What's funny is they call Lexus the "Mercedes of Japan" 😂
Lexus: if you enjoy staying on the road.
Mercedes: if you enjoy staying at the Mercedes dealership
True

u engineer?
Bobby Evans
I agree so much!
I knew which one he liked from the start .. one thing he never touched the tablet in the Lexus .. does that one squeak as well..? We'll never know

3:18 those "silly hooks" are for cargo net (accessory add on). pretty sure its the same for the hooks in GLE
after 20 years of our german brands i bought a old RX450h and i wonder every time i drive it why on earth i drove AUDI for so long .
I left Lexus for BMW and I love my BMW but I have to say I am beginning to see some of the advantages of SUV's and The Lexus RX seems to own this space.
see how it work after 2 years.
@@donnielimel it's been 4 years. How is it coming?
He is doing 3 jobs to keep bmw on the road. Too busy to reply.

I got my first RX from my investment company and its has been great.. am thinking of getting a new NX next

You did not do research on any of the cars but I love review though

Most of you are saying lexus,lexus, Merc is crap but when you look at sales statistics guess who is the king....
lexus is lol?? Rx 450 is the best selling luxury suv bruh
Marek, find somebody who will be filming you while you review and also get a better microphone to avoid wind noise.
@merek drives,Great video and thankyou for uploading video .
THANK YOU FOR GRAET JOB ,BUT THE COMPARISON IS ABOUT WHICH YEAR2020 ,2019 OR 2018 .
More like 2016.
Both are way overpriced. I was in a small SUV market until few days ago and tried most of them, ended with 2016 sx4, 4x4, diesel. Price was just to good and sx4 is no bad car. No one has 4x4, diesel car even close to that price, Duster a side.

Lexus should make the car cost around 80k considering the overall space and quality. But yeah, it has better reliability, compared to money pit mercedes (previous owner).
the batterys take space, they placed them under the rear seats, this is why you will have slightly less space on rear seats.
CY What issues did you have with your Mercedes?
CY i am also wondering what real problems you know that tge car has? cos i am concidering buying one. have been trying to find any from its customers, but really can not find any serious problems. if i do the same to audi or mercedes i allways find 3-8 rear problems of parts or componentse that get loos, brake or wear down very fast
Please tell me which one should I get ??
Hooks in rear are for cargo net. Bought mine in us for 39k, including discount and rebate.
The silly hooks are for the cargo net
Luxus
Push the close button twice to lock the whole car!!
DAMN THE LEXUS SHITS ON THE STYLE OFF THE MERCEDES
So in your video it's Japan vs Germany but it's about cars
LEXUS
Mercedes looks more elegant, drives better feels like a tank unlike a Lexus plastic toy
Absolutely LEXUS -- the best car maker, forget about crap Mercdes-Benz ...
what camera u using?
This was shot with GoPro4 on a gimbal.
lexus wiin
Aren't u planning to do the Test drive of brand new Volvo V90 or S90 ?
I am. All in due time.
Annoyingly Mercedes always package seat memory in 'Premium' or 'Premium Plus' packages - it's standard on the X5/RX/XC90 so god knows why Mercedes insist on charging extra (I think Audi might do the same on the Q7...or at least they used to)
Nothing is standard on the X5 my friend.
My '05 Sport came with memory seats as standard :)
Merc GLE AMG sounds better and feel better to drive Merc. Lexus is also nice, but its futuristic design makes it look outdate so quick. European cars are best :)
🇯🇵vs 🇩🇪
Lexus
which one is quieter?
At high speeds probably GLE, around the city RX.
Both cars are much cheaper in The USA especially the Lexus RX I got a lease for $400 + insurance = $570
Lexus is best because made in Japan
Mercedes Benz#1 made in Germány
Thanks for the info, but I have sea sickness from the video.

These aren't comparable.
RX350 vs GLE350
or
RX450h vs GLE400
I like your opinion about a good car which a i like
Idk why, but no matter how hard LEXUS works, the overall appearance/design on the interior and exterior looks cheap. Although the stats are great for LEXUS, asian cars can never beat the luxurious brand of Benz.
Léa Strasser it's not just the luxury , Japanese cars have the best reliability especially Lexus and Toyota
@Jasvin Jeyakumar you can't be cheap when you drive a mercedes, you gotta do your regular and preventative maintenance, they can last forever, specially diesel
excellent review...just to much wind noise...
Listen that Lexus isn't a 100 grand bro
lexus awesome ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Лексус 👍🏻
I am sure you don't like Americans 🤣🤣🤣
X5
ОКЫ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lexus quality is overrated. all kinds of problems.
Hate the look of Lexus now.
German automobiles ♥♥

Five years later, you can buy GLE for the cost of Corolla and I bet Lexus would only lose 30% of its value
I'm sure it depends on the market, but generally speaking cars lose about 40-50% of their value within 5 years. That being said, with the current shortage of new cars, used cars tend to hold up their value much better, than they used to before the pandemic.
GLE have very boring and old fashion interior, just look to these things around the mid screen, ugly.

Paul Stefan the gle is shit. The RX is a lot better than the rolling money pit. Talk about a fanboy
Lexus😂😭👎cheep copi.
