The Mercedes-Benz GLE is one of the brand's most popular and best-selling crossovers. Crossovers are quickly gaining popular among all types of drivers, and luxury crossovers take what drivers love about crossovers and bring it to the next level. To highlight the awesome features on the GLE, we out together a quick comparison of the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE vs the 2017 Land Rover Discovery.

The most important part of any model comparison is the price—the GLE starts out around $2,000 more than the Discovery, and for good reason. With three engine options, as opposed to the Discovery's two options, the GLE offers drivers more choice under the hood. Not only does the GLE offer more choice, but it also delivers better performance than the Discovery. Although the Discovery does offer more cargo room and towing power, the GLE still offers plenty of room and hauling power to get the job done.
