Would you be OK to explain why? I don't really mind that aspect as I don't think I'm spending my time feeling the inside of the car. I suppose the looks matter more to me, not really the materials
For me I'd want the GLS, but the huge remote for the X7 looks awesome. Drew and Mason, excellent side by side comparison. No pressure on the 2020 Subaru Legacy, you two are wonderful. Also I love that you guys used y'all on your vote list. I went to college in the south, so it took me back.
I have the BMW X7 with that same remote. Its battery runs out pretty quick and needs constant recharging. When i am ready for a trade in, i would definatly get one without that remote interface.
@@Al13n1nV8D3R thank you for sharing. The X7 is a 2020 model year vehicle with no standard Apple car play and Android Auto. It's odd to me for a vehicle at the price point it's at.
@@rickyloganjr.2362 Your welcome, i agree i wish mines had that infotainment option to use Android Auto too because I own a Android phone. But I think they did this to get people to upgrade their cars and trucks every 3 to 5 years when the updated model is released.
Many release reviews of the GLS stated the interior was not high enough quality for the segment (remember this is competing with the Range Rover also) have sat in both cars and it’s 100% right the materials used in the X7 are of a higher quality than the GLS. Mercedes need to do more. Everyone that says oh the Mercedes is better has not sat in both cars and or simply has a Mercedes bias

Joseph Friedman no it’s not for example from the top of my head Apple CarPlay takes the full display so you get the full experience unlike MBUX oh and also no wireless CarPlay in the Merc
I went to see both of these this past weekend. I am a Mercedes s550 owner and usually a die hard Mercedes fan, but this BMW blew the Mercedes truck away. The interior on the BMW was just gorgeous and felt like a luxury car where the Mercedes still feels like a SUV. The Mercedes had smaller narrow seats by comparison too. The ambient lighting inside the BMW was striking. Center console was gorgeous. Mercedes was boring by comparison and not nearly as comfortable to sit in. I didn't drive them, but for the first time in my book, the BMW was by far the more luxurious vehicle for me.
Very nice job on the comparison. Currently in the market to replace our GL550. On the GL550, it definitely feels like you’re isolated from all the noise. Very comfortable ride that makes the trips between NorCal & SoCal effortless. It can also haul lots of equipment. It has over 200K miles on it now. On the other hand, I drive a X5 with M package & feels very sporty. I’ve thought about XC90 or Q7, but keep falling back to GLS or X7.
I didn’t really like the styling on the X7 when it came out but now I think it looks pretty good since I’ve seen a few in person. I’m not a huge fan of the GLS towards the back. Maybe it’ll grow on me. I’ll probably go with the X7 for it’s style. The interiors and features are pretty well matched
GLS has a Napa leather interior option that would have been a better comparison to the BMW’s leather. I know many people like the two toned leather seating, I don’t. What I like about GLS is you can upgrade to an executive plus back seat option with heated/ventilated/massage features just like front seats with a tablet that allows you to control the options built in. I like to sit in back on a 10 hr round trip I do every 3 months so my husband can listen to sports & I can put on noise cancelling headphones in back & listen to what I want. I also deal with back pain so this option is as important to me as ride comfort & quiet. I’m doing the option to take it further with a sound cancelling barrier. I like the interior lighting options & layout inside better on Mercedes. If I was younger, I’m sure the BMW would be more appealing because it’s sportier. Of course, I couldn’t have afforded it when I was younger! They’re both great vehicles so it comes down totally to personal preferences.
Can someone tell me what car it is at 11:45 ? It's weird, the back looks like a modified bmw x5, and the side also reminds me a bit of bmw style language, except the shape of the Windows.
For children these guys make an excellent video. I just subscribed. Think their opinions are honest and I look forward to watching other new 2020 car review videos.
I think the Mercedes looks slab sided and the rear looks like a hippo. But I like the interior more. They both look undone from the outside but I would take the Mercedes.

There's some really cool features though behind the looks like the whole sunroof lights up, automatic rear shades, third row has climate control and sunroof, automatic parking, and more
@@StepTronic Pretty sure I may have drove it. But I'm not a huge car person so I don't look at names. Problem is Mercedes all look alike but I know the name of it now. I'll try and let you know if I come by it. BMW is thicc nasty though so
Johnathan B The X7 (is larger and has more wheelbase than the GLS) and has captain seats that can recline, which is of high quality. The GLS is also good, but not as good as the X7
I was rooting for the x7 the whole time!!! I’ve always been a Mercedes fan but this year they let me down with the exterior design. Like Mercedes is always known for that aggressive mean face. And I’m wondering what happened to that this year. Like the Mercedes GLS needs a face lift up. And an aggressive look especially for that high price.
Ill take the bimmer. Mercedes is no longer relevant. There cars designs are so blah now adays. Tesla is the new Mercedes. Im feeling the newer BMWs aesthetics much more than Mercs and this X7 validates my comment. Very striking
The same can also be said about the Merc. Well for all German cars for that matter but if you have the money to keep up the maintenance than youre good. The problem now a days is most Bimmers and Merc buyers are people who really dont have the financial means to maintain them. Back in the day most buyers of these cars were wealthy so reliability was never a problem or questioned. Both of these brands are no longer exclusive. They are mainstream so no longer for affluent buyers only. I gurantee you 90 percent of Merc and Bimmer drivers truly cannot afford the upkeep on these cars. Its all about image making people believe you have status but in actuality you dont. If one of these cars should break down more than likely they will either sit until the owner can come up with the money to get it repaired (my neighbor her merc sit for 1 month until it was towed from her driveway) or they go to an aftermarket mom and pop repair shop avoiding the car dealer due to the cost. So lesson is if you dont have the financial means to maintain these highly engineered cars please do your self a favor stop trying to keep up with the jones and just buy a Honda or Toyota. With those two brands you definitetly dont have to worry about break downs and high repair bills.
Many perks on the GLS were not mentioned, including the fact that with captains chairs you can walk through the middle seat in the GLS, but you can't in the X7.
Mercedes was my favorite brand but I had so many issues with gls, I don’t think I’ll buy another Mercedes again. Maybe G63 because it looks good but Mercedes gls was not very reliable. Same with BMW 550. I dont like the way this new gls’s rear end looks.
X7 is one of the best suv crossovers out there
Both are amazing. But the X7 is just 🔥
X7 really looks so rich and premium ❤️
No, GLS is the best 👍
@@Toan_Z900 no bmw is the best
Interior quality and use of materials is a big deal to me, and since BMW is ahead in that part, I’d take the X7.

The GLS is still king of this segment. The X7 is not bad though.

I think bmw x7 is just awesome and beautiful features with full options.
5:55 GLS 450 has 4 years warrenty ~!
I'd choose the X7, hands down. Its just styled with a little more refinement. And, the two-tone interior gives the car more character.
The X7 is just a better SUV in my opinion!!
We bought a 2020 X7 M model it absolutely stunning from everywhere
„Look we bought a X7“
me too.. just went to best buy and picked one up.
Yea, an x7m definitely exists
BLACKFIRE _X it does tho hit me up on insta datboiiroman
seb doyle yes there is bruh 🤣. It’s X7M it’s x7 with the m sport package
Okay, so that third sunroof on the BMW is just sick!!! Wow!
X7 has a better presence on the road. GLS looks so outdated and boring.

gls will drive big. I have a 2019 GLS 450, not fun to drive. great for the family though. X7 is tighter.

Yes & especially the posterior designs

Why
@@sothickitssickk Because after about 100k miles they become problematic, and repairs are costly.
@@LondonHasFallin what do you mean 100k miles, as soon as that 4yr 50k mile warranty is over both these cars are nightmares!
@@sothickitssickk In addition to the high cost of ownership after warranty expires, the fact that they lose ~70% of their value the first 3-4 years.
