The Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Land Rover Discovery Sport.

Convenience
With the Mercedes-Benz GLB 250, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Land Rover Discovery Sport, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

Cost

Dimensions
Since the Land Rover Discovery Sport is much wider than the Mercedes-Benz GLB 250, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Land Rover Discovery Sport takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Mercedes-Benz GLB 250.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Land Rover Discovery Sport and the Mercedes-Benz GLB 250. The Land Rover Discovery Sport has less cargo space than the Mercedes-Benz GLB 250, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
