Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class may not look different than its predecessor, but its new suspension and interior bring it into the 21st century. Finally.

Pros
Classic look retained
Almost certainly better on road
Updated, roomier interior
Still brims with character

Cons
Is it too derivative?
Independent front suspension may dillute off-road ability
Only one off-road mode
Bound to be wildly expensive

By: 
thecarconnection.com

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class ranked #3 in Luxury Large SUVs. Currently the Mercedes-Benz G-Class has a score of 8.6 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 8 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Incredible off-road ability
Powerful engines
Top-notch cabin

Cons
A true gas guzzler
Sky-high price tag

By: 
usnews.com

Fully redesigned for 2019.Bigger and better driving than before.Part of the second G-Class generation introduced for 2019.

Pros
Impressive off-road abilities
Good on-road behavior
Powerful V8 engine
Refined interior

Cons
Expensive, even for a luxury SUV
Last-generation infotainment system

By: 
edmunds.com

For 2021, All-new interior design with new dash, steering wheel and infotainment screen.Minor changes to exterior design.Lineup now consists of Long Range and Plaid trims.

Pros
Instant and powerful acceleration
Electric range is impressive
Three-row seating is available
Access to Tesla's extensive Supercharger network

Cons
Finicky upward-swinging rear doors impede functionality
Vast windshield lets too much sun and heat into the cabin
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto aren't offered

By: 
edmunds.com

If you can look past the gimmickry of the falcon doors, the 2021 Tesla Model X can render the big gas-guzzling family SUV obsolete.

Pros
Shockingly good performance
Smooth, controlled ride
Quick, clear 17.0-inch touchscreen
A design like no other

Cons
Gimmicky falcon-wing doors
Disappointing interior space
High prices
Awkward-looking profile

By: 
thecarconnection.com

The Model X has received a styling refresh both inside and out for 2021. Cleaner lines give the SUV a more modern appearance on the outside while the cabin benefits from a redesigned infotainment display and a new F1-style square steering wheel. The lineup now consists of the Long Range and the performance-oriented Plaid models.

Pros
Impressive all-electric driving range,
fast-charging capability,
giggle-inducing acceleration.

Cons
Interior lacks luxury panache,
top-hinged Falcon Wing doors are fussy,
mediocre fit-and-finish.
