Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mercedes-Benz G-Class than in the BMW X7, due to its greater head- and legroom. The BMW X7 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW X7 as you will with the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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 X7 is a better financial choice over the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the BMW X7 is much wider than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the BMW X7, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Handling
The BMW X7 has a smaller turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The BMW X7 has a little less horsepower than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the BMW X7 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Utility
The BMW X7 offers greater seating capacity than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. With the BMW X7, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
