It's a premium SUV showdown - which out of the Mercedes GLE, BMW X5 and Lexus RX is worthy of your cash? Our review of these big 4x4s takes a look at everything from interior space, practicality, driving impressions and - importantly - a traffic light drag race. Can the Japanese Lexus RX outclass the German X5 and GLE? Or will the GLE (formerly the Mercedes ML) romp away with the victory? There's only one way to find out. Enjoy!

The RX is based on a FWD Toyota, use a 15 year old N/A engine, has a terrible infotainment system and just really needs a readesign.

Since I was ready for a new SUV after 15 years with my beloved Jeep Grand Cherokee, I personally test drove all 3 of these cars plus an Acura MDX and a Lincoln MKX. Of the 5, it was a no-brainer choice. The RX easily stood out like cream rising to the top. Lexus gave me $8,000 off MSRP, and I drove home in style & luxury. Although I miss my Grand Cherokee sometimes, I have no regrets about my RX 450h purchase. It's the most comfortable, quiet, and luxurious ride it has ever been my pleasure to experience. I also love it's huge grill and futuristic redesign!

I can not believe he mentioned about Lexus not having the same ‘heritage’ as the other two. 🙄 That’s the type of thing journalists were saying when the original LS400 came out decades ago. What on Earth has heritage got to do with anything?? And as for ‘badge appeal’, Lexus have absolutely proven themselves over the past 30 years to make the most reliable, well-built, and well-equipped cars against its rivals. That right there deserves another eye-roll imoji. 🙄 Also, it’s a 3.5 V6, not a 3.0 litre.

Hope people in the UK realize this soon as well, the German craze in the UK is just ridiculous in my opinion, i guess when you have several options available to purchase a car like leasing, financing etc you wouldn't care so much about reliability, 2nd hand value and comfort. In my country we don't have such options so reliability is key when buying a luxury car for most except the extremely wealthy.

Good review - just shows that there is something good and bad about all and so much is a matter of personal taste. I compared all 3 of these when I leased new in 2010, 2013 and this year (just last month). In comparing everything between the 3, the RX 350 comes out on top for me. Especially true this time around since I decided to get most of the features - with the Lexus Safety system, I've already taken a few long trips and have spent little time with foot on accelerator/brake. Even as much as I like it, never thrilled with the graphic display (BMW is tops there). Also, I've noticed more of the body is plastic than previously. Still though, roomy comfortable, and nicely quiet from the outside. Because of this, I could be going 80 and almost feel like I'm moving slowly with the lack of outside sound. That's OK, the Big, 15 speaker Mark Levinson gives plenty of sound inside.

I just traded my GLE for the X5, the merc was the least reliable car I’ve ever had and the maintenance costs were bonkers. The X5 is like from the future compared to the GLE, due to the extras of course but in general, even with the airmatic suspension, the merc just wasn’t fun to drive or own. My last commute was 1.3 litres per 100km on the X5 so I’m pretty darn happy.

The Lexus is actually a 3.5 litre Atkinson cycle V6, not a 3.0 litre as described in the review. The build quality on the Lexus is far in front of Mercedes, betters the BMWs, and the panel fit and finish betters the Jag F-Pace. The only real contender on fit and finish appears to be the Q7 which wasn't tested here. Again, as far as interiors go, the Lexus winds hands down, even the Mk3 RX which in some ways is a more practical proposition than this new 4RX450h, betters the X5 and GLE. The new Volvo XC approaches the interior standard of the Lexus, so shame that wasn't featured. The brand new Volvo V90 estate betters just about anything that isn't a Bentley! The GLE on reliability is a very poor performer judging by reliability surveys, meanwhile the Lexus took top spot in the JD Power survey 2016. I don't know how the presenter managed 44mpg....the true average as reported by owners is closer to 36mpg (which mirrors what I get from mine). A pretty fair and balanced review overall.

While I had my IS in for service, they gave me an RX350 for a loaner and it was an absolute joy to drive. It drove really smoothly, quality was simply magnificent, and it had a lot of presence on the road. My only problem was imo, I felt like it needed more power. But then again I have sort of a heavy foot.

I like his reviews first off.. . Now I currently have the 2017 Gle.... I have seen some pics of the new Gle coming... I think it looks too rounded... 2. Lexus Rx does make a statement but I do think it will look dated 5 years from now. Where the current Gle Mb will still look classy. 3. Interior of the current Gle is not the most fancy but the electronics do work well, I have not had any issues in nearly 2 years. 4. Bmw X5.... I just do not like the exterior of any of the Bmw Suvs........ they look like a tennis shoe type shape, very awkward.... So I am actually thinking of ordering a 2018 the way I want it before they end the current run... With all this said I think the Xc60 2019 is a looker and is under consideration

i just bought GLE 350d 4Matic AMG Night Ed Prem + 9G-Tronic Night Edition, Automatic. from carwow. Original price for this model was £62,615 with finance i paid £47,806. that is %23.7 discount AND %5 interest, its like buying mortgage very low interest rate. if you go to auto trader even it cost £5k MORE for 1 year old GLE. I bought it from Guildford Mercedes. Best family car without hesitation.... Note: DO NOT BUY 2.1 diesel. (this is not Mercedes engine, its share engine with Renault with belt NOT CHAIN engine ) you ll want to buy 350d true Mercedes engine and a lot of power And very economical compare with others. DO NOT buy NY A-B- or C class. i purchased CLA shooting brake. wore car ever gave it back to Guilford Mercedes after 4 month losing over £8k. thats how i found out its Renault engine on A,B and C class.... true Mercedes stars from E class and onwards

We (my family and I) have a 2016 GL350 Bluetec. It’s excellent both on road and off. If you’re ever going to take your luxury SUV off the road, buy a Mercedes. We love it! However, our lease is up soon and we are looking to replace it. The sad thing is, we don't get the 300/350d in the USA! Damn VW. What are some good GLS replacements and or alternatives? Can you please do a Q7, GLS, Range Rover, XC90 and the competition? Thanks! I love this channel, by the way.

I'll admit, I'm a fan of Toyota and Lexus products, especially my 1999 Land Cruiser. If you don't believe I own an RX 450h...well, can't help you there. I was genuinely interested in the BMW X5 xDrive40e, but when I drove it (three times), I was only able to get 24 mpg! And reliability was a bit of a concern with such a new powertrain. www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-4th-gen-2016-present/802293-pics-of-your-4rx-right-now-28.html Check out post number 419. That's my car.

I'm waiting to see the new GLE. It will probably beat the RX on many accounts. But, one of my requirements was a hybrid for the quiet driving experience. The GLE 550e Plug-In is a quick beast, but I could not justify the price for similar equipment. And it just felt old with relativity hard leather. Some people like that, but not me. To each their own. Now, if I had all the money in the world and did not care about reliability, I'd jump for a Volvo XC90 T8. I really like that thing!

As an American, I find it quite interesting that you can't buy a petrol powered non-hybrid 6 cylinder version of these in the U.K. It's either a 4 cylinder turbo, 4 cylinder hybrid, or a diesel. I understand that gas prices in the U.K. are more than the U.S, but it's still unfortunate. Are there any midsize or fullsize suv's in the U.K. that offer a petrol non-hybrid V6 as an option these days?
