In the minds of most consumers, if it comes to luxury brands, the most important ones are Land Rover and Mercedes-Benz, and the models they create have a very luxurious aura and are deeply loved by people. These two brands are also secretly competing in the luxury medium and large SUV market, Land Rover Discovery and Mercedes-Benz GLE are two very strong competitors, so when facing these two models, how should we make a choice? Today we will analyze one by one to see which car is more worthy of ownership!
The new Land Rover found that the design of the exterior still retains the sophistication of Land Rover, the classic clamshell bonnet, the stepped roof, the lower surround is very sturdy, and the use of high-gloss black trim panels highlights the sense of sport. The black DISCOVERy letters under the cover are a symbol of its identity. In addition to this, the new Land Rover Discovery has added R-Dynamic models to choose from, with new growth of Wild Snow Mountain Silver, Lantau Bronze Brown and Charente Grey Car Paint, all of which show a stylish personality. The asymmetrical design of the C-pillar, stepped roof and rear license plate of the same color as the body reflects the design dna that Land Rover found.
The appearance of the Mercedes-Benz GLE is also very atmospheric, the front of the car uses a starlight type grille to present a spot of light diffusion, with the starlight LOGO as the center, spreading to the surroundings, showing a mid-grid design full of stars. The dynamic grille uses a multi-strip design with chrome decoration, which is very large. The whole vehicle has sharp lines, full and powerful, creating a unique beauty of Mercedes-Benz models. But in terms of size, the Mercedes-Benz GLE is not as good as the new Land Rover found larger and more spacious.

On the new Land Rover Discovery, you can see many of the classic design elements of the Discovery family. The newly designed four-panel steering wheel uses a more exquisite shape, the texture of the grip is quite good, the center console is still symmetrical design left and right, and the interior is made of high-grade leather, solid wood and metal finishes, which can highlight the luxurious atmosphere. In addition, the full LCD meter in front of the steering wheel allows consumers to grasp more vehicle driving information during driving, and the new 11.4-inch high-definition touch display is equipped with the new inControl OS 2.0 system, which supports Carplay and Carlife interconnection at the same time, and has a better experience in human-computer interaction. In addition, the new Land Rover found that there are various vehicle assistance systems, in terms of intelligent technology of the whole vehicle, users can easily arrange the rear seats on the central touch screen to ensure the convenience of travel through the intelligent folding technology of the seat. The new Land Rover discovered that the 3.0 R-Dynamic S model features a Meridian™ sound system that enhances the listening experience of the occupants with a full range of sound, clear and transparent sound.
Mercedes-Benz GLE adopts a large screen with dual screens, although luxurious, but the screen size is not as large as the new Land Rover discovery, the central control car machine is also a relatively backward Command system, the operation logic is too cumbersome, and the use experience is not very good. In terms of space, Mercedes-Benz GLE is mostly based on 5-seater models, and the price of a 7-seater model in the whole series will be higher, and the new Land Rover is more excellent in terms of practicality and cost performance.
The new Land Rover Discovery 3.0 R-Dynamic S and 3.0 R-Dynamic SE models are powered by invigorat 3.0-litre twin-supercharged engines with mild hybrid technology, with a maximum power of 360 hp, a peak torque of 500 Nm and an acceleration of just 6.5 seconds per 100 km/h. The engine uses a battery to collect and store the energy usually lost when the vehicle slows down, and intelligently reuses it, further improving the overall efficiency, performance and compliance of the vehicle. At the same time, the new Land Rover Discovery has added an adaptive cruise control system throughout the series, and the new Land Rover Discovery 3.0 R-Dynamic SE model has also added a tail collision warning function, which further improves the active safety performance of the vehicle. Bring users a smarter and easier driving experience. The new Land Rover Discovery's second-generation intelligent all-terrain feedback adaptation system allows new vehicles to adapt to different road environments at any time, including further improved wading capabilities to ensure travel safety at all times.
The Mercedes-Benz GLE, with a maximum power of 190 kW and a peak torque of 370 Nm, lags behind the new Land Rover discovery in terms of data. Although equipped with full-time four-wheel drive, this four-wheel drive system is more suitable for driving on urban roads, and it is still difficult to deal with some relatively complex road conditions. Especially after seeing the all-terrain capabilities discovered by the new Land Rover, it is even more unsatisfactory.
Land Rover Discovery has always been known for its strong off-road capabilities, and the new model has been upgraded to greatly improve the product power and user experience. The interior changes allow users to get a better digital experience, and the replacement of power also gives users better driving quality. If you're looking for off-road, luxurious interiors and a comfortable city journey, the new Land Rover Discovery is a great choice.
