Ive driven all of them and honestly the GLK is the coolest and has the best balance. Its a fast SUV. The Lexus was plain boring. I can see older people liking it, but the looks and driving are way relaxed. The GLK has a cool look and I actually rather the interior of it to the other two. FX is cool as well, but they ride very rough. I bought the GLK and love it. Its a matter of preference.
@@MotorsportiesCar That's great but how much has it costed you to get to that. 190k really isn't much. I believe maintenance is key to any vehicle. However some vehicles require more maintenance than others.
I own the fx37 and love it. It's crazy quick for a heavy cross over, and it's has 4 transmission modes. Normal revs to 7400 and fairly smooth, snow mode takes away power and rpm, manual shift and finally sport mode. Sport mode is so fun shift at 8000 rpm or a little higher and halls ass. I also, when driving like a responsible adult, get 17.4 mpg in town and a nice 27.34 on the highway.
@ITunes02 2 years in and oil changes only. It's an amazing vehicle, and I will say in sport mode it shift at 7500 normal driving it shifts at 2200. 0-60 times in sport mode are 5.6 seconds. Again its an under estimated beast for a v6.
I have the GLK350 coming from the factory next week. Fully loaded black on black. I drove all three and liked the Benz the best. All three are nice cars.
I own an FX35 and your evaluation is complete bollocks! Works great off road (3ft of snow) with a smooth ride stamped with 20inch rims. I'm a 6'1 driver and all my buddies who are 6'1 are comfortable all around. Being a passenger in a GLK, i'd have to say is the worst back seat experience ever! Thanks for match up, enjoy the show.
Yeah,maybe this description was accurate 5yrs ago though, but, here in 2020, things aren't the same as before, and now, I'm sort of beginning to lean towards the Mercedes.... The city where I live, having a quiet soft ride is much more important than being hash,loud and sporty, so my darling Infiniti might not cut it anymore, thoughts overall styling is really to kill for....however, I think the Mercedes is a sweet balance between the soft riding Lexus and the sporty feeling Infiniti, and on the plus side, ITS A BENZ and here in 2020, that's more of a luxury statement than it's ever been before.
Yes its fast but the point is to cover all the bases. I think this is a fair matchup with fair reviews given the intent of the video. Each of these excell in a different area.
Tiffany Nguyen My family just picked up the Lexus RX350 and we were blown away by how comfy and quiet the car is for it's price range! It makes the potholes here on the east coast somewhat bearable.. lol
plush luxury (lexus/merc) vs sports luxury (infiniti)...depends on what you want..most people find the RX more practical due to the space, hence the outcome of more RX's, if not the road will be full of impractical coupes and convertibles that are priced about the same...But put the fx37 against the rx350 it will beat it easily...
You guys also chose the Limited Edition FX37 which has the 21's. Plus they did change something for '13, its a 3.7L instead of the 3.5L. Same as the G37/370z
I love these reviews. You guys (including Andre, The Mechanic) are quite amusing. I think the Lexus manual might be telling you that knowing how to drive is unimportant, since all the electronic gadgets will perform the task for you. Just sit back and enjoy the scenery. Cheers.
The electronic steering on the 2013 model is better suited to this crossover. But the old car was fine. A little bit numb but than again it isn't designed to drive lie a sports car.
When you drive this thing everyday, you notice every bit of difference. But yes I do agree very little changes. I don't really like the new post 2013 versions. The front end is nice but I feel the back need to be redesigned as well.
nathan: "infiniti-good steering feel, really good steering feel, probably best in class". couldnt agree more after driiving every sports suv in market including x5m, porsche , range orver and mercede gle . Infiniti is sportiest suv in market
I haven't driven the other two but did get to drive an rx350 for a couple days, honestly not a sporty vehicle at all, doesn't like to be cornered but rides like a dream, can't feel any bump and super quiet. Interior is nice.
Just bought an FX37--the only car I would ever own. Not sure why they chose the hillbilly to drive it--this car handles better than the Porsche I traded in. Lexus=Rich soccer mom. (Note: Do NOT buy this car if you are a dude) Mercedes=Someone who desperately wants to appear wealthy. Horrible looking car. Infiniti=Someone who doesn't give a sh*t if the dude in the backseat is 6 feet tall. It's all about me mofo! Summary: Buy this car if you want an AWD beast of a crossover.
The RX350 is the perfect balance. Practical luxury design, practical performance, practical MPG, practical size. The GLK350 sounds like a beast, looks the best, and is something I would buy. I would have taken the fx35 a few years ago, but this new FX37 is too dated and all it carries is a new engine.
It depends on the car. We launch these cars several times using various techniques and use the most successful when we film. That includes torquing/revving, paddle shifters, short shifting - - you name it.
Interesting match up, but buyers of the Infinity are not looking for comfort. The Lex and the Infinity are on two completely different ends of the spectrum. Personally, I love speed, so I would buy the Infinity. I think a better compromise is the Acura MDX, a little punchy plus a good family hauler.
Lexus are the best (quality, luxury and reliability) the mercedes you can just enjoy it with its first three yrs of warranty but after five years sell it or you will regret it
Lex is a better car compare Infin and Merc, I have been in all of them and Lex has the nicest interior and softest ride, it's might be mom car but I think its the best in this list. Infinity is very noisy, after 30-40 min drive u kinda fill uncomfortable because of noise and the Mercedes don't even look like Mercedes, for $50,000 I better drive E series even dow its not a suv then than small GLK. P.S. They should'v add BMW X5 in that list, BMW vs Lex might be fun to watch. thank for review guys
The Lexus is way better than anything else. I have tons of friends and neighbors that have multiple RXs, one even has 3. I have had the dialpad in all my Benzes and have never used it once. Looks cool though.
Out of all of these I would take the RX--- if it was a Mercedes, I would claim the ML 63. If it was the Infiniti fx 37s, I'd take that. It really comes down to what you want from a car.
why buy a infiniti when you can get the lexus, best in class. Idk about where you live but here there are rx's left and right. There's a reason why they're so popular !
Glk shouldn't be compared, instead bring the Ml350. Also I bet the Glk option sky rocked that price tag otherwise it wouldn't be there in the first place.
I'm completely biased towards to the Infiniti but Nathan did have a point. That Infiniti shares the same platform as Nissan's Z car which is good for driving dynamics, but they should've definitely had their clientele in mind when designing it. An extremely sporty ride isn't appealing in the long run.
I recently saw September 2009 design patents for the Lexus CT200h. The rather spindle-lite inspiration for the December 2009 design selection of the final 2013 Lexus GS exterior. The CT200h design patent, references cars up March 4, 2009(AM One-77), so that's the earliest source of Lexus' spindle grille.
Are you clueless? It isn't even 2013 yet, you meant April 2012. The Lexus spindle grille for the 2013 RX was designed in 2010(design patents prove that), while the original 2010 RX was designed in late 2006. In 2011, the facelifted 2012 FX started using this grille. That was designed in late 2010 as well. The explicit Lexus spindle grille dates back to 2009 when the 2013 GS was designed.
Thanks. This helps. I was confused between these two. Right now I own a ES330 and need a bigger SUV. was not sure FX or JX is the best one or I should Stick with Lexus.
No, that isn't a good example. Those use a premature form of it. The real spindle grille HS & CT are 2014 models. The first Lexus spindle grille was created in 2009 for the 2013 GS, which premiered in August 2011 and went on sale in February 2012.
Well it's all about how fast you can get to Cruze control and hwy traffic. They are all really nice and I've driven them all. I'm getting the 2016 RX, SAFEST NICEST best and most for the money and it works better than the other two combined. Still they are all nice, but the idea that the best is a second or two faster is lame.. I love fast cars, but for a family daily driver fast is not primary.
To test 0 to 60 mph at a mile above sea level. Look, at high altitude with a few people in each vehicle, we get to test how fast these vehicles go in REAL WORLD driving situations. High altitude robs the vehicle of horsepower and millions of people live well above sea level. Plus - it's fun.
why the hell does towing capacity matter for these vehicles if a guy who had enough money to afford a vehicle like that and still needed to tow a boat he wouldve got a good pickup as a towing. these suvs aren't for towing at all
Now that the infinity is not here anymore, the GLK was replaced by the glb, and there still is an extra, do RX (maybe 350l) vs glb (maybe 3 row one) for 60k!
I always wondered why it took Ford so long to bring the C-Max to the States. Saw it at the auto show a few years back as a non hybird car. I can't wait to see that and the Viper.
That's where you guys go wrong. If I want to yawn and fall sleep behind the car while driving I'll go with the lexus, If I want driving excitment/dynamic I'll go with first Infiniti then MB.
I'd go with FX37. Sure it's not as luxuries as the Lexus but it won't bore you while driving. And the benz, GLK is just too small of a crossover.
Out of the three, I'd prefer the engine note of the Infiniti over the Mercedes and the lexus
They secretly agreed, but Mercedes paid more for this review

I choose the Infiniti all the way, but excellent review guys.
They secretly chose the same, but Mercedes paid them
You didn't have the Infiniti in Sport mode! Great comparisons, always love your videos.
We have infinitiqx70 I love it
Best Car Overall: RX

These guys are being paid. Fx has 0 complaints and is much faster haven't seen a Lexus suv that can touch an fx even the 450.
Yes its fast but the point is to cover all the bases. I think this is a fair matchup with fair reviews given the intent of the video. Each of these excell in a different area.
Lexus is the best car. Luxury and reliable.

I call bs on the Mercedes 0-60. I’ve tested the 0-60 on mine numerous times and it’s always been just a tick under 6.0 0-60.
Are you using sport mode? My fx37 is a lot quicker than what they got. In sport mode it revs to 8000 rpm, normal mode is 7400 and still quicker.
I agree, ita also the best built real SUV for offroad capabilities. I have a 2010
I love these reviews. You guys (including Andre, The Mechanic) are quite amusing. I think the Lexus manual might be telling you that knowing how to drive is unimportant, since all the electronic gadgets will perform the task for you. Just sit back and enjoy the scenery. Cheers.
The Lexus is "too luxurious". He made it seem like a bad thing.
MERCEDES Glk 350 is the best!!! Even in Eco modo.... if they choose sport does better time.
You are most welcome and thanks for watching.
The electronic steering on the 2013 model is better suited to this crossover. But the old car was fine. A little bit numb but than again it isn't designed to drive lie a sports car.

Where did you hear that from??
brendan2cool every 3 years?
I didn't know, thanks! Can you buy me one? lol
To be fair there was barely I difference between the 2004-2006 and 2007-2009. Just sayin

I really like these comparable mash-ups. Do more of them :)
