Which SUV is better - Lexus or Mercedes?

I’m trying to narrow down my search for a quality luxury SUV. After some research, I’m torn between Lexus and Mercedes-Benz. Are Lexus or Mercedes SUVs the better option?

Lexus and Mercedes each have their pros and cons. The better option is simply what’s best for your needs.
Comparing and contrasting the two brands is exceedingly difficult, especially as their offerings in the SUV realm are quite a bit different. In general, Lexus SUVs are slightly more reliable and affordable, but Mercedes Benz SUVs are undeniably more luxurious. This quick side-by-side comparison may help you find a choice you can live with:
  • Mercedes SUVs have better performance in terms of acceleration and top speed.
  • Lexus has more hybrid SUV options for those concerned about gas mileage.
  • Lexus SUVs are cheaper.
  • Lexus SUVs have higher overall safety ratings than Mercedes.
  • Lexus SUVs have far lower repair costs and typically last longer than Mercedes SUVs.
Consider specifically what you want from an SUV and see which brand checks more of those boxes. So regardless of which one you choose, lower your
