Compare Lexus GX vs. Mercedes-Benz GLE 450

KEY WINS FOR GX 460 AGAINST THE GLE 450 4MATIC

QUALITY BACKED BY PEACE OF MIND

Knowing your investment is protected matters.  The GX 460 offers a reassuring, six-year or 70,000-mile powertrain warranty for the engine and driveline, while the GLE only has a four-year or 50,000-mile powertrain warranty.

SAVINGS OVER TIME

The GX 460 boasts a lower starting price, much less depreciation, and lower maintenance and repair costs.  The savings are significant, offering Guests a much greater value than the Mercedes-Benz GLE over the long run.  An overall savings of $19,000 is pretty impressive.

SAFETY COMES STANDARD

On the Lexus GX safety comes standard.  The GX 460 comes equipped with an impressive suite of safety features including ten standard airbags, while the Mercedes-Benz GLE requires numerous expensive upgrades to achieve similar safety features—on top of the GLE’s higher base MSRP.

STANDARD 3-ROW SEATING

The Lexus GX can easily accommodate seven passengers with its standard third-row seating. The Mercedes GLE will require an expensive upgrade to match the GX seven-passenger configuration.  Whether you are heading from Doylestown into Philadelphia, New Hope, or Newtown, the third row seating will ensure that all your passengers can fit comfortably into the GX.

BETTER OFF ROAD

The GX 460 has a standard full-time four-wheel-drive system with two-speed transfer case, a locking TORSEN®center differential, and available Multi-Terrain Select and Crawl Control for go-anywhere off-road capability. Meanwhile, the GLE features a lighter-duty all-wheel-drive system and a one-speed transfer case, but does not offer available Crawl Control.  You will more confidently explore the abundance of state parks in Bucks County or Pocono mountains in the GX 460, on road or off road.

STRONGER FRAME

Drivers can feel confident in the strength and stability of the GX 460 frame, built on a robust ladder frame designed for versatility and ruggedness. In contrast, the GLE has a lighter-duty unibody frame type that is typically used for sedans or crossovers.
