X7 or GLS

Need a bigger luxury vehicle and deciding in between X7 or GLS. What is your experience on perfomance and reliability?

X7 for better performance, GLS for better comfort and space

Either way get it 1-2 years barely used. These are great vehicles but they take a massive depreciation hit upfront.

Most people lease these cars so it’s hard to get a used one 1-2 years old. I’ve had a few of the GLS/GL for almost 15 years, and the quality of my most recent one is not good. It’s a 2021. I can’t wait for my lease to be over. I’m going to look at the XL which I think looks good from the outside. The inside of the GLS looks amazing, but a lot of stuff breaks.

Performance of the GLS is great. So comfortable and great pickup. No complaints there.

My BMW was constantly at the service center. And the one in Mosaic is awful. So many terrible experiences. I recently got a Mercedes and it has been fine (knock on wood).

I’d do the new Lexus GX if you need that much space. Looks amazing and Lexus reliability can’t be beat.

Love our X7.

Mercedes. Always.

I go to a foreign car service center and they basically told me they love BMWs bc they’re constantly in need of something. I had an X5 and was going to switch to an X7, but my X5 had a string of constant expensive issues. It only had about 42k miles. I finally gave up and vowed to never get another BMW.

Lexus reliability not much more vs others with their newer models. With turbo charging, direct injection, etc....just too much complexity. It will take years to get reliability/durability back to legacy models. Signed....Toyota mechanic.

Lexus drivability sucks though. Feels like driving a big truck and handling is poor.

You could be right on this. Standard V-6/V-8 engines have better reliability but new turbos have issues. Honestly, German manufacturer's turbos' perform better.
