Comfort
                                        Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 than in the BMW X5 PHEV, due to its greater head- and legroom.
                                        As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the BMW X5 PHEV and the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450.
                                     
Cost
                                        There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle.  The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP).   Clearly, the BMW X5 PHEV is a better financial choice over the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450, when considering MSRP.
                                     
Dimensions
                                        The BMW X5 PHEV is a little narrower than the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot.
                                        If you go with the BMW X5 PHEV, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450.
                                     
Handling
                                        The BMW X5 PHEV has a larger turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
                                     
Performance
                                        In terms of towing capacity, the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 is clearly the choice over the BMW X5 PHEV for pulling heavy loads.
                                        The BMW X5 PHEV has a little more horsepower than the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450.
                                     
Powertrain
                                        The BMW X5 PHEV has much lower torque than the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
                                     
Utility
                                        The BMW X5 PHEV has less seating than the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450, making the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
                                        The BMW X5 PHEV has less cargo space than the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
