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 Land Rover Discovery Sport, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Land Rover Discovery Sport, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
With the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, 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
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 Land Rover Discovery Sport is a better financial choice over the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Land Rover Discovery Sport is a little narrower than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. The Land Rover Discovery Sport is slightly shorter than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which may make it easier to park.

Utility

The Land Rover Discovery Sport has less cargo space than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
