2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE 2021 Land Rover Defender 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE vs. 2021 Land Rover Defender The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE Class is a glittering SUV with marvelous performance, a royal interior and the latest gadgetry. How does it compare to the 2021 Land Rover Defender, a large and formidable SUV with turbo performance, numerous customization options and advanced tech features of its own? Design & Style The Land Rover Defender utilizes a unibody frame with a strong rectangular build. Buyers get the choice of a white or black colored roof and a spare tire which is mounted externally. Its structure is connected to air suspension and adaptive dampers which enable the vehicle to operate smoothly even over rough terrain, and drivers will have access to multiple terrain modes. It can seat a maximum of seven passengers. The Mercedes-Benz GLE has a smooth and winding exterior, the exact opposite of the Land Rover. It has three row seats and the ambient lights have now been standardized. It uses a two box frame with an expressive grille and front that slopes and it has ample space for cargo. Passengers within the cabin will have access to dual displays and the upholstery can be customized in almost any way they see fit. Technology & Safety Not only can the Mercedes-Benz GLE avoid accidents; it now has the technology to anticipate them. It achieves this through pedestrian detection, blind area monitoring, cruise control which is adaptive, the ability to identify traffic openings and then change lanes, and excellent outward vision. This led to it receiving the illustrious Top Safety Pick award, and luxuries within its cabin include keyless start, a camera with surround view, 12.3 inch displays, heated/cooled seats that can provide massages, and a Burmester sound system. The Land Rover Defender is equipped with most of the features found in the Mercedes-Benz, including lane control that is active and the ability to monitor the attention of the driver. Luxuries within its cabin include ten inch touchscreens, satellite radio, powered seats that can be adjusted eight ways, rubber flooring and wireless charging for smartphones. Performance The Land Rover Defender is outfitted with a turbo 4, 2 liter engine that can generate 296 horsepower with 295 pounds of torque, which enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in about 7.7 seconds. Those that purchase the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 will get an inline 6, 3 liter engine that can generate 362 horsepower with 184 pounds of torque that enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 5.5 seconds. The Bottom Line The Mercedes-Benz GLE has larger touchscreens and a more powerful engine with better performance than the Land Rover Defender, which makes it the winner.

2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE 2021 GMC Yukon 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE vs. 2021 GMC Yukon Many SUV enthusiasts consider the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE to be the king of sport utility vehicles. Indeed, its majestic interior, incredible performance and supreme comfort place it leagues above the competition. But what happens when it goes up against the 2021 GMC Yukon, a mammoth SUV packed with Denali trim, turbo diesel capability and the best tech money can buy? Design & Style The latest GMC Yukon is bigger than previous editions, with a suspension that has greater sophistication. Buyers now have the option of turbo diesel with extra frontal gears and cameras. It has a prominent honeycomb grille in front that is covered in chrome with LED lights that are C-shaped. Passengers in the cabin will be treated to 10.2 inch displays with a pull/push gear selector and seats that are extremely comfortable. The Mercedes-Benz GLE is distinctive for its elegant roof and well-proportioned frame. Passengers within the cabin will be presented with dual displays which are contained within one glass plane which also comprise its instrument panel. It has an array of trim combinations and hues, which provide near infinite customization options. Technology & Safety Safety is important in all vehicles, but especially SUVs which are designed to carry families, and the Mercedes-Benz GLE doesn’t disappoint. It has captured the coveted Top Safety Pick award due to the ability to detect pedestrians while monitoring blind spots, and emergency automated brakes come standard. This combined with its multiple air bags and lane and cruise control make it one of the safest SUVs in the world, and amenities within its cabin consist of a camera with surround view, climate control, powered leather seats, keyless start, and premium audio from Burmester. The GMC Yukon’s great size alone gives it an advantage, as most vehicles that collide with it will receive the brunt of the damage. It has received a four star rating overall, but its rollover protection is average and as a consequence only earned three stars. It has most of the safety functions found in the Mercedes-Benz, including multiple cameras for external vision with towing assistance. Luxuries within its cabin are extensive and include the option of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, a Bose audio system with 8 speakers and heated/cooled seats. Performance Few SUVs can match the Yukon when it comes to acceleration and handling. Base models come with a V8, 5.3 liter engine that can generate 355 horsepower with 383 pounds of torque. But those that purchase the Mercedes-Benz GLE can get an inline 6 that is 3 liter and capable of generating 362 horsepower. The Bottom Line While the GMC Yukon and Mercedes-Benz GLE are nearly tied when it comes to performance, the Mercedes-Benz has better safety credentials and larger touchscreens, making it the victor.

2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC 2021 Lincoln Nautilus 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC vs. 2021 Lincoln Nautilus The 2021 Lincoln Nautilus is a powerhouse SUV with a turbo 4 engine, gargantuan infotainment screens and an array of safety and luxury features. But can it beat the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC, an SUV widely regarded as one of the best in the world due to its fantastic looks, roomy interior and AMG® performance? Design & Style The Mercedes-Benz GLC has some of the best vehicular curves that we’ve seen in years, especially when combined with its black wheels, white leather upholstery and oak wood trim. It can seat five passengers who will be surrounded by high end materials like nappa leather, carbon fiber and polished aluminum, and infotainment will be provided via 10.3 inch displays. The Lincoln Nautilus also has smooth curves in its exterior, yet shares the same platform as Ford Edge, which ruins the luxury effect. It is still a great looking SUV that gives drivers the option of all or front wheel drive, and within the cabin passengers will be presented with touchscreens that are 13.2 inches in size. The cabin is covered in soft touch fabrics along with authentic wooden trim and aluminum. Technology & Safety Safety is essential in every vehicle, especially in SUVs which are designed to carry groups of passengers. The Lincoln Nautilus is very much a mixed bag. On the one hand it did earn an overall 5 star rating from the NHTSA, but only received 4 stars for its rollover protection with the IIHS referring to its headlights as being poor. Despite this, it is equipped with a variety of modern features including cruise control which is adaptive, pedestrian detection, automated emergency brakes and the ability to monitor blind spots. Luxuries within its cabin include powered and heated seats, instrument cluster, power lift gate, and the choice of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. The Mercedes-Benz GLC has a consistent safety record, one that is consistently flawless. The IIHS gave it the Top Safety Pick award, as it is equipped with all the features found in the Lincoln Nautilus and more, such as parking assistance, guidance for changing lanes, and a camera with surround view. Luxuries within its cabin include heated/cooled seats, keyless start and voice commands. Performance The Mercedes-Benz GLC is equipped with a turbo 4, 2 liter engine that can generate 255 horsepower that is wedded to an automatic nine speed transmission. The Lincoln Nautilus is also equipped with a turbo 4 that is 2 liter and capable of generating 250 horsepower with 280 pounds of torque. The Bottom Line The mixed safety record of the Lincoln Nautilus combined with its usage of low end Ford parts gives the Mercedes-Benz GLC has an easy and well deserved victory.

2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC 2021 Jeep Gladiator 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC vs. 2021 Jeep Gladiator The 2021 Jeep Gladiator lives up to its name, with a tough and hardened build which enables it to operate over any terrain. But is it enough to beat the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC, an SUV with spectacular looks and presentation, the latest tech features and AMG® level performance? Design & Style Visually, the Mercedes-Benz GLC is the complete opposite of the Jeep Gladiator. Whereas the Gladiator has indurated edges, the Mercedes-Benz is engineered with a smooth and lustrous exterior. It looks best with white leather, black wheels and oak trim, and within the cabin passengers will be treated to ten inch displays with surfaces covered in aluminum, carbon fiber and nappa leather. The MBUX infotainment is state of the art and highly regarded by everyone who has used it. The Jeep Gladiator is boxy, and a cross between an SUV and truck. It has a single bed and cab configuration with 4 doors and a bed that is about five feet in length. The front half is similar to the Jeep Wrangler with a wider nose, and the wheelbase is slightly longer. Buyers get the option of a fold back roof or dark cloth top and the cabin is devoid of the luxury that is founded in the Mercedes-Benz. Technology & Safety The Jeep Gladiator has received a 4 star rating from the NHTSA. Its safety features are minimal, and include 4 airbags, a camera with rearview, parking sensors and blind area monitoring. Those that want emergency automated brakes will have to pay extra, as it doesn’t come standard, and perks within its cabin include 8.4 inch displays, Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and powered locks and windows. The Mercedes-Benz GLC is so safe to drive that it received a Top Safety Pick award from the IIHS. It is equipped with all the features found in the Jeep Gladiator, and a whole lot more including assistance when changing lanes, parking support, and a camera with surround view. The cabin is packed with all sorts of luxuries such as keyless start, heated/cooled seats, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, voice commands and climate control that cover multiple zones. Performance The Mercedes-Benz GLC is equipped with a turbo 4, 2 liter engine that can generate 255 horsepower that is wedded to an automatic nine speed transmission. The Jeep Gladiator answers with a V6, 3.6 liter engine that can generate 285 horsepower with 260 pounds of torque that is wedded to an automatic eight speed transmission. The Bottom Line While the Jeep Gladiator has lots of horsepower, its cabin is noisy and bland and it lacks the safety and luxury features of the Mercedes-Benz GLC, which makes it the winner.

2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC vs. 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC is one of the world’s most beautiful and luxurious SUVs. Its ultra-sleek curves, AMG® level performance and expansive cabin makes it desired by many. But how does it compare to the 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio, an opulent SUV with Italian style and engineering, a formidable engine and rear wheel layout? Design & Style The Alfa Romeo Stelvio incorporates the same running gear as the Giulia, which gives it an elevated platform, triangular nose and sweeping exterior frame. Passengers within the cabin will have access to 8.8 inch displays which is standardized and controlled via the rotary dial. Cat style headlights can be seen in front, with flanks that utilize spherical haunches. The rear completes the look with slender taillights, a dual exhaust and spoiler which is built in. The Mercedes-Benz GLC is a crossover that can seat up to five passengers. It does so with panache, as the interior surfaces are covered in high end materials like nappa leather, carbon fiber and polished aluminum, with info that is presented on high resolution 10.3 inch displays. The seats are extremely comfortable and will conform to every inch of your back and spine. Technology & Safety The IIHS is so impressed with the Mercedes-Benz GLC that it gave it the prestigious Top Safety Pick award. This is because it is packed with all the latest safety gadgets, such as lane switch assistance, blind area monitoring, automated emergency brakes, heads up display and a camera with surround view. Luxuries within the cabin consist of voice commands, internet connectivity, powered seats which can be heated or cooled, and the choice of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. The Alfa Romeo Stelvio is equipped with many of the same safety features found in the Mercedes-Benz, including parking sensors and lane control that is active. Luxuries within its cabin include powered seats that can be adjusted ten ways, satellite radio, ambient lighting, Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and headlights which are adaptive. Audio is provided through a Harmon Kardon system that has fourteen speakers. Performance Italian automobiles are known for their exceptional power and the Alfa Romeo Stelvio continues this legacy. It is equipped with a turbo 4, 2 liter engine that can generate 280 horsepower with 306 pounds of torque that enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 5.4 seconds. German vehicles also have a reputation for power, and the Mercedes-Benz GLC answers with a turbo 4, 2 liter engine of its own that can generate 255 horsepower. The Bottom Line While the Alfa Romeo Stelvio has lots of horsepower, its back seat doesn’t provide enough space for the legs, and the Mercedes-Benz GLC has bigger touchscreens and better safety credentials, making it the winner.

2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2021 Jaguar F-Type 2021 Mercedes-Benz E Class vs. 2021 Jaguar F-Type The 2021 Jaguar F-Type is a true sports car, with a fabulous presentation, wonderful exhaust sound, and brutal engine power and acceleration. But is this enough to beat the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E Class, a car which has received acclaim for its hybrid system, voice commands, augmented video technology, and stellar performance? Design & Style The Mercedes-Benz E Class has standardized all-wheel drive and can be purchased in the form of a sedan, coupe or convertible. The exterior has been updated with advanced light signatures and bumpers with a cabin that has both a 12.3 inch display and instrument cluster which is digital. Drivers will also have access to a touchpad and its steering now includes capacity touch. The cabin is covered in upscale materials like walnut, gray ash, shiny metal, leather and carbon fiber. The Jaguar F-type can be purchased in the form of a two door convertible or coupe, with tail and headlights that have been revised. A 12.3 inch instrument cluster can also be found in the cabin, with the ability to comfortably seat two adults. Like many sports cars, it has a long and elegant hood with sleek and aerodynamic curves. Technology & Safety While the Jaguar F-Type is far too expensive to ever be crash tested, it is equipped with the newest safety tech, which includes blind area monitoring, emergency automated brakes, and lane control that is active. However, the rear vision is limited because of its sloped roofline, and luxuries within the cabin include ten inch displays, powered seats, the choice of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, ambient lighting and a Meridian sound system. The Mercedes-Benz E Class has earned the highest safety awards, including the Top Safety Pick and five star NHTSA rating. It has every safety feature found in the Jaguar, including parking sensors and a proprietary system named Pre-Safe which sounds alerts if a rear impact is imminent; and will apply its brakes so the car doesn’t slam into the vehicle in front. Luxuries within its cabin include a camera with surround view, powered seats which can be heated or cooled, keyless start and smartphone compatibility. Performance Those that purchase the Mercedes-Benz E 450 can get a turbo 6 engine that is 3 liter and capable of generating 362 horsepower with 369 pounds of torque. Those that purchase the Jaguar F-Type will get a turbo 4, 2 liter engine that can generate 296 horsepower. The Bottom Line While the Jaguar F-Type looks cool, it can only seat two passengers while the Mercedes-Benz E Class can seat five with a more powerful engine and bigger touchscreens, giving it the victory.

2021 Mercedes-Benz CLS 2021 Maserati Ghibli 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLS vs. 2021 Maserati Ghibli The 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLS is a masterwork of German design and engineering. Its spectacular appearance and massive performance is perfectly balanced with its serene interior. But how does it compare to the 2021 Maserati Ghibli, the Italian stallion that has taken the world by storm due to its gorgeous looks, formidable engines and cutting edge tech? Design & Style The Maserati Ghibli is a four door sedan that will turn heads with its fender vents, swept back lights and ornate flanks. Within the cabin passengers will be presented with high end upholstery that includes both silk and leather that was produced in one of Italy’s famous fashion houses. It is just as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the skin. The Mercedes-Benz CLS looks fabulous with its fast roofline, sleek and well-proportioned curves and prominent wheels. It can carry 4 adults in exquisite comfort with seats covered in supple leather that provide outstanding support for the back. Buyers get the option of nineteen or twenty inch wheels and a trunklid spoiler can be seen in back which is fully integrated. Technology & Safety The Mercedes-Benz CLS has earned the highest safety accolades that the automobile industry has to offer, including the Top Safety Pick award and 5 stars NHTSA rating. This is due to its extensive suite of safety functions which include driver assistance, automated lane switches, cruise control, lane control, emergency automated brakes and the ability to detect local speed limits and respond accordingly. Luxuries within its cabin include 12.3 inch displays, ambient lights, the choice of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, voice commands and heated/cooled seats. The Maserati Ghibli is equipped with a variety of driver assistance features, such as pedestrian detection, automated emergency brakes, and lane departure notifications, cruise control which is adaptive and semi-autonomous operation. Luxuries within its cabin include 10.1 inch displays, satellite radio, a sound system from Harmon Kardon that has ten speakers and the choice of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Performance The Maserati Ghibli is equipped with a dual turbo V6 that is 3 liter and capable of generating 345 horsepower, which enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 4.7 seconds. The Mercedes Benz CLS answers with an inline 6, 3 liter engine that can generate 362 horsepower with 369 pounds of torque, which enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 4.3 seconds. The Bottom Line Everything that the Maserati Ghibli does, the Mercedes-Benz does better. The CLS has bigger touchscreens and superior horsepower, and this combined with the Ghibli’s lackluster switch gear, cramped rear seats and fuel inefficiency makes Mercedes-Benz the winner.

2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA vs. 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia The 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia is a master class in Italian vehicular design. Its exquisite curvature, formidable engines and array of build options make it popular among cosmopolitan drivers. But what happens when it goes up against the 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA, a car that has been lauded as the best in its class due to its AMG® handling, fabulous silhouette, and state of the art technology? Design & Style Visually, the Mercedes-Benz CLA is as sharp as a saber. It has powerful exterior lines which defy the underpinnings of the front wheel drive, with overhangs that are stubby and an arc that is continual and pleasing to look at from every angle. The flanks are beautifully sculpted and within the cabin passengers will be treated to sixty four colorized ambient lights, dual touchscreens and soothing seats. The Alfa Romeo Giulia comes in the form of a sedan with a sporty appearance. A triangular shaped grille can be seen in front, with exquisite body curvature and wheels which are shaped like clover leafs. Within the cabin, passengers will be presented with a spherical dashboard that features an 8.8 inch display with seats that provide excellent back support. Technology & Safety The Alfa Romeo Giulia is rich in safety tech, and did an exemplary job in the IIHS crash tests. Its countermeasures include blind area monitoring, steering assistance, headlights which are adaptive, and emergency automated brakes, but its poor headlights prevented it from capturing the Top Safety Pick award. Luxuries within the cabin include a *Harmon Kardon sound system with fourteen speakers, powered seats, navigational systems, heated steering and voice commands. The Mercedes-Benz CLA is equipped with all of the safety features found in the Alfa Romeo, including automated lane switches and LED lights, and luxuries within its cabin include 10.3 inch displays, the choice of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, a sound system from Burmester and keyless ignition. Performance Those that purchase the Mercedes-Benz CLA35 AMG® will get a turbo 4 engine that can generate 302 horsepower with 295 pounds of torque, which allows it to bolt from zero to sixty in about 4.8 seconds. Those that purchase the Alfa Romeo Giulia will get a turbo 4, 2 liter engine that can generate 280 horsepower that allows it to accelerate from zero to sixty in 5.1 seconds. The Bottom Line Both of these cars are evenly matched in safety and luxury features. However, the back seat in the Alfa Romeo Giulia is too small, the majority of its safety features are optional, and it doesn’t even have manual transmission, which makes the Mercedes-Benz CLA the winner.

The Bottom Line Though the Tesla Model 3 has a strong electric motor, those who have test driven it state that it makes too much noise, everything within the cabin depends on the touchscreen, and the material quality is unimpressive and inconsistent, making the Mercedes-Benz C-Class the winner.

2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2021 Chrysler 300 2021 Mercedes-Benz A Class vs. 2021 Chrysler 300 The 2021 Chrysler 300 is an extraordinary vehicle with a sharp appearance, regal interior and lots of cargo space. But can it compete with the 2021 Mercedes-Benz A Class, a lavish car with impressive handling, the latest safety tech and outstanding value? Design & Style The Mercedes-Benz A Class has a long frame with a roomy cabin and four doors. The curves in the exterior are elegant and refined, with a roofline that is conventional. The cabin is advanced with dual touchscreens, and multiple buttons can be used for climate control. The seats are comfortable and covered in leather and the cabin looks best in beige, black or a combination of the two. The Chrysler 300 comes in 3 trim levels, which are 300S, Touring L and Touring. The exterior is distinctive for its spherical corners and upmarket build quality, with a nice looking grille and flanks that are slab sided to perfection. A miniature decklid spoiler completes the look and the cabin is covered in leather upholstery with polished metal and wooden trim. The seats are quite comfortable and remain so even during extended trips. Technology & Safety The Chrysler 300 received a 4 star overall rating from federal testing agencies, with the IIHS describing its headlights as being poor and its overlap impact protection as being marginal. However, it does have automated emergency brakes, and luxuries within its cabin include 8.4 inch displays, Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, dual USB chargers and heated seats. Emergency automated brakes are a standard features in the Mercedes-Benz A Class, and it also has multiple airbags, blind area monitoring and cruise control which is adaptive, as well as a mechanism which can automatically steer the vehicle away from pending impacts. Luxuries within its cabin include heated steering and seats, 10.3 inch displays, an audio system from Burmester, charging pad which is wireless and climate control. Performance Those that purchase the Mercedes-Benz A35 will get a turbo 4 engine that can generate 302 horsepower. The vehicle sits on eighteen inch wheels that work well with its suspension and adaptive dampers. The Chrysler 300 is outfitted with a V6 engine that can generate 292 horsepower that is wedded to an automatic eight speed transmission. Buyers also get the option of all wheel drive, which works well especially for the sedan variant. The Bottom Line While the Chrysler 300 is a very attractive car, appearance alone isn’t enough to win this contest. Its back seats are poorly shaped, its safety scores are not impressive and it also isn’t very fuel efficient, which makes the Mercedes-Benz A Class the winner.
