Comparison Review

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW X6 as you will with the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the BMW X6 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450.

Dimensions
The BMW X6 is a little narrower than the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. If you go with the BMW X6, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450.

Performance
The BMW X6 has a little less horsepower than the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the BMW X6 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450.

Utility
The BMW X6 has less seating than the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450, making the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers.

Warranty
You'll have greater peace of mind with the more generous basic warranty of the BMW X6 than that of the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450.
