Just to clarify for people who aren’t aware: this is a Range Rover Sport, not the full size. People asking to compare this to a GLS is mad, GLS has a full size 3 Rows? Would you compare the X5 to a GLS? Or GLE? Cheers
I think this will be more reasonably compared to a GLE 53 coupe ( In terms of speed and pricing )
You chose the worst powertrain to compare to the Range Rover. The GLE450 (non-e) is more comparable with a proper 6 cylinder, and still comes in under the price of the Range Rover. Your complaint about the unacceptable interior build quality of Mercedes is valid, but your praise for the powertrain reliability of Range Rover is the result of you being very lucky.
He should have compared it to AMG GLE 63 or 53
X5 is in the same segment as GLE
why not the range rover sport vs the sporty gle? aka the gle 63? surely thats the logical comparison right?
Let's be honest, this is not a comparison this is an outright promo video for the RR Sport i.e. no mention of who lent you the Merc but mention for the JLR dealer. That said, I am an RR fan and would prefer the RR Sport but just believe in being honest!
Mercedes is from Mercedes Canada :)
This **is** the comparison I was waiting for, but it seemed extremely biased in terms of the RR. I own a ‘20 RR Sport and love it, but the GLE is an equally impressive car.
I noticed that features that were not in the RR used here were mentioned, but options were not mentioned for the GLE. The GLE definitely has rear climate control and sun shades if you option them. Rear zone climate is also an option on the RR
He should have used the GLE 53 for this Comparison. 450 is for X5 40i etc
This is my dilemma, I am car shopping and test drove the Range Rover, everyone says don't get one, I know it's a gamble on quality etc but I literally have the same reaction as you when I get in it, it is just so good and so good looking. The competitors just really don't compare to it.
Everyone saying don’t get the RR never owned one.
…I am cross shopping those too - plus the X6 and Q8. Love the RR for everything it represents…😊
I ordered the 2024 RR. It was between that or the Q7. I needed a 7 seater and being an A6 owner, I leaned more towards another Audi but the Q7 seemed dated.
I was told the same thing when I purchased the A6….that they’re not reliable. Almost 10 years now and it still drives like brand new with zero issues. Maintenance costs are higher than your average Honda or Toyota but the drive is not the same.
the range is killing it 🥰🥰🥰 in the looks department
anyways, the mercedes will last whiles the RR will break down
Both are really nice. I appreciate how the Range Rover has nice 4 piston front calipers, supple leather, rear climate controls, and headlight washers. Those running boards on the MB gotta go and the daytime running lights remind me of baby teeth. Lol
Also, I’m not a fan of the rough leather MB uses in their lower trims.
I like the Range Rover better, but the Dude was way over critical of the Mercedes lol.
Big time. Mercedes for me all day.
I went from the Gle to the RRS❤. I love it!
Have the feeling that I am watching a RR advertisement.
You’re so right
"I have a hybrid RR Sport, and I must say that the RR is fantastic when everything works well, however, I lost confidence in the car when it left me stranded twice in just 60,000 km of use. The RR is not as reliable as a Mercedes, unfortunately!"
Is Mercedes reliable? ahahhahaha
Actually when you compare things it should be the same category, HP and components. I can see a lot of old ML still on the road versus RR and it only says one thing in reliability…
Everything you said about the RR is completely true. The Merc is probably suitable for a younger consumer based and the RR, for a more mature, quieter and family oriented personality. Just my opinion though.
All Range Rovers have problems with the engine and starter after 100 thousand km.
These problems are a chronic problem with Range Rover.
The second problem is problems with the electrical system and electronic problem , for example, with the main computer.
You must be smoking something. GLE is a more mature car, Range Rover is for younger audience.
@@thomasfisher9428…actually the new engine series runs without any flaws at all…! The previous ones - yes, that was something different.
Wow tis is the comparison I was waiting for since long keep it up ❤
Thank you Sam for the great review!!!
RR are still on a different league, but it's amazing to see the MB edging right into the segment. Very nice cars indeed, but I'd take the Range Rover if it's for the term of the lease/financing. For the long-term, I don't think I'd take a Hybrid car (my own personal preference), but I wouldn't trust Land Rover's reliability.
Would love to see how those flush/concealed door handles behave in winter or freezing rain and you'd be left locked outside of the car until you are able to warm it up/de-frost it...
They look nice, but they don't work in our colder latitudes (Teslas, RR, etc.)
Peace!
The Mercedes looks great I think from where I can see . The design is very beautiful and looks great !!!
😂😂😂 🤔
Looking at both the Range Rover has a more sleek design plus more HP but the depreciation on it crazy
Depreciation on any luxury car is crazy
I can't wait to see the Range Rover sport SV, 3.6secs 😊
Those wheels in the RR Sport are 22’’ wheels
Is the RR really the 2024 model? In Europe the 2024 models have no more buttons for climacontrol etc.? But anyway, it‘s a dreamcar! ❤🎉
Gotta be a 2023 cause I just looked up 2023 sports for sale in USA and it has them but the 2024 doesn't! so weird that they would totally redesign the vehicle for 2023 and than remove things from the 2024
Oh if money wasn’t a factor most us middle class workers would be owning a Range Rover but unfortunately, most can’t afford it! 🥺
Hey Sam great comparison. I have a 2023 Range Rover Sport P440e autobiography and can confirm it comes with a full size spare. Their packaging of that big battery is next level.
Amazing - beautiful car overall
All Range Rovers have problems with the engine and starter after 100 thousand km.
These problems are a chronic problem with Range Rover.
The second problem is problems with the electrical system and electronic problem , for example, with the main computer.
Next time instead of looking down in GLE to gauge cluster, try the head up display. Also I'm not really sure why you need to look down either, maybe you have wrong seat adjustment. Range Rover Sport has more premium material as it costs $20K more compared to similar options GLE. And you are right RR is in a different league when it comes to how soon all those nice things will break & how fast it loses value. There is a reason for those prices at used market.
Just sad how the GLE is made in Alabama - compared to the Sport which is made in the UK.
Got a 2023 Range Rover Sport 3.0 Diesel on my drive right now. Only a courtesy car though but don’t want to give it back. I’m 55 and it’s the best car I’ve ever driven!
Thank you for this great production. You can load much more prestige on RR when you need. Btw, in my country RR Sport price 650.000 USD and Mercedes GLE. 400.000 USD. I don't think I need to tell you which country it is :) anyway, subscribed.. waiting news
RR are in their own class. Even when compared to a bentley.
I just built a Range Rover Sport P360 and a GLE450 with the features I would want and the Range Rover was only $2k more. The only feature that the GLE has over it to my knowledge is massage seats. I'll take the Range Rover please.
All Range Rovers have problems with the engine and starter after 100 thousand km.

the Range is the nicer one, thanks 😀
What about reliability? Are range rovers really that bad?
I live the way the RR looks but am concerned about reliability
I hate bias videos. It's quite clear you tried by all means to downplay the GLE. The GLE in my opinion has a fancier dash design and it has immense presence.
It’s not bias stating a payment
@@SamCarLegion You had a poor and one of the worst versions of the GLE for your test. There should be a 450 diesel with a 3-liter engine, 4-zone air conditioning, ventilated rear seats. It's a pity that you didn't compare them at night with combined multi-color ambient lighting, then your opinion about the interior of both cars changes ;) Mercedes has the best lit interiors and in the evening/night it makes a great impression on everyone who gets into it.
Too bad you had ambient lighting turned off.
In addition, the energizing system in the GLE is brilliant, combining scents, lights, massages and music, influencing the passengers accordingly. It has great outdoor air filtering and air ionization. (p.s. it's a pity you didn't say what you wanted about the perfume, how it helped while driving ;) ) . The front seats have this great mode of dynamically supporting the driver when cornering, pumping appropriate zones.
In the version with better suspension, each wheel in the GLE can be controlled independently and there is much higher driving and driving comfort, even better noise reduction and absorption of unevenness.
Heya I thought they removed climate controls on 2024 models for Range Rover
I Love ❤ the Range Rover Sport, on my bucket list
Range Rover is in a different league.
Agreed
Yes, the visits to the workshop will be from another league xd
Michel speaks from his experience owning a bunch Land Rover products
@@MichelOM1995 please share your experience with the brand!
Yeah at breaking down
If you compare RR Sport with X5 which is GLE’s main rival, what would you prefer and choose??
I'd choose RR
@@M_H_H i respect your choice but some in the comment section (not only here) points out that RR has electronic and maintenance issues. What do you think of it?
@@kodykmt i'm aware of those issue but as X5 are almost equally unreliable, RR is the better choice for me.
It’s laughable to say the least that these vehicle manufacturers are making plug in hybrids with only 30+ or 40+ miles per charger and then once the battery dies out your car becomes a total turtle! Why not make something that can give you 100+ per charge hybrid? Cmon now! I have a Toyota RAV4 Prime, plug in hybrid with 4 cylinder engine and the vehicle while it’s nice it’s a complete turtle once the battery depletes itself…. So unfortunately, she’s going to be sold!
The GLE has a great EV range of slightly over 50 miles that’s why I chose it - way more than Toyota or any other plug in hybrid I test drive. The Toyota drives very rough, tight and plasticky but it does have a better gas mileage.
Kindly compare the 3.0 litre Gle 450
Agree should have compared a little closer with the GLE 450 3.0 V6.
You didn't actually sit behind yourself, behind the driver seat, when you switch to Range Rover Sport. I did the comparison couple of months ago when I was doing rounds between dealers to find the car for us and GLE has far more space in the front and the back compared to RRS and X5. It also has more space, to my extreme surprise, compared to Q7/8 and Cayenne. Its actually similar to space you'll find in the full size RR. Material quality, fit and finish, leaves much to be desired. However, X5/7 makes everything else feels like used French cars from the early 2000s... BMW is simply on another level when it comes to build quality. Just touch the speaker housings in the RR/S and let me know how it feels under your fingers.
The Gle is better than the Range rover sport in the future the RR will fall apart.
@@johnzenkin1344 not the case its reliability is in question also the maintenance of RR is a money pit.
I'll get interested in the RR when they get rid of that ghastly tablet sitting on the dash. It needs to be INTEGRATED into the dash!
Umm, excuse me, love these cars, I favor the Range Rover Sport, even over the full size Range Rover, but now that that's out of the way, why does some of the things that fell out of that car-seat look like they came from my bedside drawer?!?😊👀
This guy is a joke …. Why are you not comparing an AMG GLE 63 ?
You pick up base models of the GLE to compare to RR sports and you think it’s okay.
Just tell us you’re advertising for RR…
You are a joke. GLE 63 vs Base RR Sport? Are you high or stupid?
This isn’t a Sport SV, why on earth would he need to bring a GLE 63?
if RR is so good, then why does Mercedes sell 10 times more?
Facts
Because he is less expensive
😂😂😂, Volkswagen sells 10 times more than Mercedes… so what? Stop drinking to start thinking…
This is not a great comparison of trim levels or options. This is also just a range Fanboy slamming competition that is probably better and much cheaper
Okay, you convince me. I will buy one!
one is obsolete, the other is unreliable... get a Land Cruiser 😅😅😅
Compairing a full option RR with a standard GLE…nog fair.
Sorry aber das ist kein fairer Vergleich. Es gibt manche Extras wie Fondklimatisierung usw. auch für den Mercedes. Man muss auch mit dem MBUX umgehen können, dann nervt es auch nicht. Typischer Test eines Apple-Users 😉
Do you prefer Sport over the big body Range rover ?
I like both
@@SamCarLegion I do have Sport 2023 p400 and have opportunity from my dealer to order big body 2024. Trying to make a right decision but there is not a lot comparison between them online.
@@amg5795 more space and better ride - go for it
I am a sucker for JLR products- they make amazing vehicles. Don’t care about ratings
@@SamCarLegion JLR did great job these cars are amazing I do love MB and Porsche product but the RR have different vibe once you drive.
Compare with same range not different leave
Der Range Rover ist ein Klotz von einem SUV, extrem breit - Parkplätze zu finden sind in Mitteleuropa kaum zu finden. Die Motoren brauchen extrem viel Treibstoff und sind sind im Vergleich z.B. zu Mercedes viel zu teuer!
GLE looks better
These cars aren't comparable and aren't cross-shopped
Who told you?
@@SamCarLegion Exactly! You should have gotten the normal 6 cylinder gasoline engine other than a plug in hybrid for the merc.
@@ajodbaba1 do you have one?
@@SamCarLegion How does that change the fact that the engines from the vehicles are not equally match.
Having driven several mercedes benz with 6 cylinders, I can rightly say this is an unfair comparison
So true! Very bad comparison and the tone on Mercedes specs gives you an idea on his clear bias
This issue is not up for discussion gle❤❤❤
and no 3:45 X5 looks better overall than the GLE
I prefer the Mercedes 🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍
Bro LR is a brand of SUVs while the MERC has different type of cars.
But in terme of SUVs i don't think there is a brand that beats the LR. They're just amazing in every single way.
The presenter is a fan of range rover 😅.
Massive fan no lies
Mercedes is just a different league compared to Land Rover. I have had both cars and in terms of reliability Land Rover is a nightmare. So, stop all the nonsense about RR being higher quality!
Is Mercedes reliable? ahahhahaha
Men you have no idea about Mercedes and who’s his offer, you try to say reange rover has better quality then Mercedes, lots of plastic crap inside and faulty electric, also Mercedes offer privacy glass as well like many different options find out more before taking crap
22:40 I have never heard so much nonsense in 20 minutes as in this video. Mercedes is downsizing because of the EU and is moving away from 6 and 8 cylinders? lol rather, it is the other way around. Range Rover doesn't even have its own V8 engine, they build maximum 6 cylinder engines and that under the supervision of the indian TATA group haha. The V8 in the Range Rover comes from BMW and is called 'BMW N63'. BMW is German right? Mercedes, on the other hand, has its own V8 engine with 612 PS called 'M177' in the GLE 63 AMG. There are 4 and 6 cylinder gle diesels - 6 and 8 cylinder gle petrols. I just don't understand why there is so much bullshit on UA-cam. The operator of this channel definitely got a delicious ice cream from Landrover :D don't believe me? google it, or check on Wikipedia.
Range Rover is TATA. An 🇮🇳 indian company not British , when they ask the Tara to have a meeting with King Charles before the meeting he canceled the meeting because his dogs were sick 😂 that’s how he humiliated them .
"Feels like a GLE sligtly more specious, it's about the same" - the picture I see teels different, in GLE you have about 15 sm from knees to front seat, in RR - almost touching the front seat. I would not call it "about the same"
RR should really be compared to the range topping GLS, GLE is more Velar competitor, same as GLC is the evoque competitor! I like RR but you can’t even insure the things in London due to how easy they are to steal 😢
Are you new to the car world?
Gls has 3 rows?? Are you people seriously?
@@SamCarLegion why so touchy, multiple people have said the same they aren’t trolling just an opinion! Google gls competitors and up comes RR on just about all articles.
@@bradhills4861 this is an RR sport not RR full size. People, the GLS is a 3 Row suv??? How does that make any sense at all?
I think you should delete this comment because you are very inaccurate my good sir
What was this nonsense at the beginning? You are wasting peoples time with that.
Range Rover Sport all day everyday 🔥🔥🔥
Range Rover has the absolute worst reliability rating of all manufacturers
2.0 L and 4 cylinders? 🤦🏼♂️
Benz all the way,! Range will break down in 3 years of ownership..
Had the GLE, owning the Range now. The Range is just the superior car. Even the audio system. Not sure why you said the burmeister is better but I disagree especially for the kind of music I listen to. I had an S-Coupe before with B3D, and THAT was indeed really good. But the standard...
And the space in the back is indeed better in the GLE but the backrest is so straight up it makes it completely unusable for long distances...
Range rover on the road can get my attention very good looking very classy name Range Rover mercedes looks is nothing very normal look
nice video!!!
Thanks!
Range Rover better
Love how you fault with Mercedes and threaten to smash the fragrance bottle on Mercedes LOL you review on this comparison is GREAT!!!! thanks!
To me the Merc already looks dated esp when its at the side of the RR , you can look at older RR and they still look more modern then the Merc . The Merc inside is ok but I too have notice cheap buttons etc the RR looks smart. RR have some of the best designers something that the Germans could do with , most German cars look boring , asian cars look cheap and tacky.
RANGE ROVER for me………THANK YOU !
❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I don't think this is comparison. Is as if your promoting range cox the back glasses are same but you disregard it on range and spacing for Mercedes is far better than range . Unless is not what I am watching again. Thank you though
😂😂😂 facts . He’s here to advertise for the RR
Actually the range rover should be compared to GLS which will kill the Range Rover in luxury department !!!
Range Rover non sport goes against GLS not Sport
Range rover long base
Exactly, GLS is RR, GLE vs Velar, GLC vs evoque
The GLS is definitely a larger car… and has model specs comparable to the Full sized Range Rover…Both topping out at GLS Maybach and RR SV Autobiography respectively
Yea the range rover may have better lether yawn mine was a month old and had catastrophic engine malfunction it spent more time getting fixed than actually driving it and land rover customer services is dreadful well never buy such a unreliable brand
Wrong comparison as GLE is a different class and RR is on another league. You would have brought GLS 600 or Maybach.
First time seeing cars ehhh?
@@SamCarLegion if you say so and want to defend your comparison 😂
Sir??? If you’re talking Maybach GLS 600 then we are in full sized RR SV Autobiography territory not RR sport
someone should talk to Mercedes to build quality interiors, real exhaust because we are tired of them
Range Rover is my pick
As a Benz owner, I'll take the Range. Mercedes is a sedan/coupe brand in my perception.
Stupid comparison. Two different classes.
Horrible review.
All Range Rovers have problems with the engine and starter after 100 thousand km.
These problems are a chronic problem with Range Rover.
The second problem is problems with the electrical system and electronic problem , for example, with the main computer.
