Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mercedes-Benz G-Class than in the BMW iX, due to its greater head- and legroom. The BMW iX offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the BMW iX is a better financial choice over the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The BMW iX is a little wider than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the BMW iX, which is slightly longer than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Handling
The BMW iX has a smaller turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The BMW iX has a little more horsepower than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Powertrain
The BMW iX has much lower torque than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the BMW iX and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. The BMW iX has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
