LOL.
Not me. I just like BMW ride and refinement. I'm going with the X7. To me, the G Wagen looks big, boxy, and utilitarian. Fine for those who like that, but not what I'm looking for. And yes, not true comparison. |

This comparison like many other comparisons of "unequals by design" is entertaining.
X7: visiting the mall most of the time, wishing to go off the road G-WAGEN: designed for off road, visiting the mall most of the time I drove G-WAGEN many times. Mixed emotions about many factors particularly suspension behavior. It's just not tuned for 90% of daily driving conditions: too busy, and too firm with delayed reaction to road imperfections. G63 excels at emptying the wallet while transmitting more engine and road noises than one would want. G550 is a much better deal. Other than the exterior retained for nostalgic reasons, the 2019 G-WAGEN models are practically new vehicles if compared to 2018 models. https://www.autotrader.com/car-revie...81474979853665 X7 is still my choice but not because G-WAGEN exists as a competitive offering. |

The X7 face is Horrific!
However, why people will pick an armoire on wheels like the G Klass is beyond my understanding. That is a 70's design, an ugly square box on wheels, narrow and tall with a harsh ride and the aerodynamics of a brick. It makes me laugh to see people paying that price for that cart. Kudos to Mercedes for taking their money! |

GLS would a better comparison
G wagon is far superior, different animal all together as well as much more expensive

Ballers don't drive X7's. The X7 is a car for people who refuse to drive a minivan.
Essentially, it's for Jim Gaffigan. |

Obviously a bad comparison but it could have been worse if they picked the previous G-Wagon which was more off road capable than the current IFS version.

Somehow I think this video is more of a MB vs BMW to get the fan bases talking. Regardless of its motives, the G Wagon has always been the wealthy mans Wrangler. After being updated, the G Wagon’s interior design looks 10 years old and that’s its cachet. It’s a utilitarian vehicle modified to be more luxurious. I have seen what the G Wagon can do off road first hand and meh.... Get a Rubicon if you really want to go off road and save your money. At least you only spent $50k to look like you go off road even though most still won’t.
