2024 Lexus GX550 vs. Land Rover Defender 130 vs. Mercedes G550: Which Luxury SUV Is Best Off-Road? 

For the detailed comparison review, check out the story here: www.roadandtrack.com/reviews/a60310465/2024-lexus-gx550-2024-land-rover-defender-130-2023-mercedes-benz-g550/

Where is the actual off-road footage so we can come to a conclusion ourselves? All the random clips together and on repeat doesn’t paint a picture at all of what they are actually capable of.

We want to see more of how the vehicles performed off road, the video is way too short

glad to see the gx and Lexus as a whole is getting some recognition for their offroad capability that the public already knows so well.

Totally agree that the GX is the clear winner! Reliability alone should put the Lexus in a class of its own.

Loving the GX ,but the 4 runner is also coming

Lexus 🏆

Awesome video, I wanted it to be longer! 😂👏🏽 The GX was always my favorite SUV. If I ever wanted ti jump into the SUV world, the GX would be it all day everyday. 😎 Thanks for posting!

Would only trust the Lexus. I'm surprised the Defender survived the testing.

The cheapest one will be the most expensive one in some years from now.... Also the most reliable.

I Rather Have a Land Rover Defender 110 V8 Instead of a 130.

Well even if the Lexus didn't win this test, it would outlast the other two 4 times over, so it should get some points for that.

I was waiting for this

How bout telling us WHY the GX won? And what the capabilities are for each?

You mentioned you have to dig for the diff lock button on the screen in the defender instead of having a physical button like on the GS, however the defender diffs automatically lock when needed so you don’t need to press anything.

The most important part of a vehicle is always that which is between the steering wheel and the driver's seat.

Lexus all the way no -1-

Benz G550 and G63. Still the top vehicle holds its value among many other features, but I guess everyone has there opinion especially when it comes to what they can actually afford.

I'm a Toyota owner - 3rd Gen Tacoma TRD Off Road done out with kings and whole lot of other stuff. I will admit if money wasn't an issue the G Wagon is the top dog for a true SUV in the Luxury segment. The GX 550 is the 2nd best True Luxury SUV and it is less than half the money of a G63. Some other videos try and compare the GX 550 to a Jeep or Bronco and they don't even compare to a Lexus. I will be upgrading to a Lexus GX 550 Overtrail and build it similar to how my Tacoma is but on 35s instead of 33s. I cannot wait. Lexus = Reliability, Quality, Capability and Luxury.

Worth noting the Defender is available in 2 smaller sizes.

Land Rover and Mercedes simply can't compete with the Lexus' legendary reliability and durability.

Looks like they film this in The Upside Down.

Love all the boxy designs! Most of these will never go off-road. It’s nice to have value packed gx looking so great. Any downside to the gx?

Lexus looks much better than both the other vehicles, great work by Toyota

Look-wise, I'll take the Defender 130. Reliability will likely go towards GX550

It would be nice for the Overtrail+ to come with real leather (Saddle Tan), 3rd row seating option, 3-zone climate controls, and heated middle bench seating. That would make it perfect.

This should’ve been a 30 min video review easily

2:04 why do you not have the rear locker engaged?!? 😂

LEXUS GX 👌😎👍 THE LUXURY OFFROAD KING 👑

I'll be looking for a nice gx550 lease return to pickup in a few years.. depreciated 40%. Save myself $30k-40k. I'll pick up a black overtrail and lift it put on some 35's and I'll have a really capable really cooshy off roader I can put 200k plus miles on. They hit the design out of the park with this one.

Can you tell us why the Lex was better?

You can buy almost 3 GXs for the cost of the Mercedes G Wagon. I prefer the GX styling, but still respect the G Wagon.

This video should have been longer

for the price i can see why the gx won

I prefer the G wagon

Easy to believe with their track record.

I must have missed why the Lexus won. Motor Trend just put the Defender over the GX.

G 💪💪💪

Hands down the Lexus looks better than the Defender.

Really should have shown each vehicle going over the same harder obsacles for a longer period of time. Too many cuts.

While I appreciate the competition, this the wrong configuration for the Defender (they should have sourced a 110, not a 130). But then again, when you're comparing a vehicle with an MSRP almost double the other competitors, why bring logic into the situation, lol.

What’s up with the drab color tones - so depressing lol

I feel It’s a very biased review coz the reviewer owns a 2006 Lexus😂. Here and there some footage and drawn a conclusion. All new gen cars rely on technology, every one of them breakdown for various reasons unlike late 90’s to 2015 or so. After that all cars rely heavily on technology. End of the day drive what money can afford , What the heart says and the one that puts a smile every time you drive it ❤

Don’t need this, can’t afford it 😂!

The Lexus is absolutely an amazing value. G over priced. LR, worries me particularly about the electronics & airbag suspension. I’ve owned both the G & LR. That Lexus is the first one I’d ever consider buying. Congrats on building a fantastic product and at such an amazing price .. WOW !

I expected the same results. I consider this video to be a comparison of two SUVs since Land Rover is not comparable for its poor quality.

Lexus forever

That was bizarre. What happened to the entire middle of the video? Intro, (scene missing), conclusion.

Note- the Lexus gx is nothing but a Land cruiser and can compete with the Land Rover and G-wagon. Just put some decent tires on the truck and you are good to go.

Lexus beautiful ❤

This video should be at least 30 minutes long?!!!!!

Infiniti and Acura should be here.. they are 2 classes above Defender

how is lexus gx "new kid on the block", this is a lux version of Land Cruiser car that is more than 60 years in production

It shows how much you, the icons of companies that are supposed to theoretically go on expeditions into the wilderness, burn 30 liters in difficult terrain and when there is a flood, as recently in Dubai, it shows that the top engineers are so low and not capable of the amount you pay them. Why not create one for this type. cars with engines that you don't have to refuel and count on mechanics' service, because you knew where the designer's idea was, and if we are going to drive luxuriously in the city in cars worth 3 million dollars, I would prefer a private bus equipped with the details, I avoid traffic jams that use bus lanes faster and with less accidents because they travel almost 10 miles kilometers 😀 and what is now, 60 years ago these cars were only for selected elites, now they are available to anyone as long as you pay the subscription fee and let me remind you that in difficult areas there are no mechanics and gas stations and they need them to go there.🙏🌛☀️ test of an ordinary hammer produced in 1950 100 tons and 2023 80 tons shows that we have reversed development

Is this a paid commercial from Toyota? You don’t EXPLAN - or SHOW - why the Lexus won your “test”

"There are no losers here"- man who has never owned a Land Rover off warranty

Awesome footage! No way id go with the Lexus! Land Rover 1st choice, 2nd the Benz

Defender for the win.

Bad video. Not enough info

4 mins wasted

GX🤌

Way too subjective. No videos to prove the differences driving their opinion. A lot of focus on the Defender then poof....Lex wins LOL. Nice Toy/Lex propaganda.

Very poor video journalism 👎🏽 wish I had two more hands, I’d give this 4 thumbs down 😅

And I mean decent offroad tires not those crap dealer ship tires you see the Lexus with here. Give that truck some good bush tires and stop playing games man

Video disappointment… GX fanboy verse giving hard data to review.

So a brand with reliability and lower cost of use, wins. Shocking news

jeep wrangler still best.

Toyota lost this one the second they thought it would be a "smart idea" to chop the third row of all their overlanders. Their new direction won't benefit anyone but their pockets. That Land rover has a perfect third row by the way... It's just as capable as the GX, has way most comfortable setting to go offroad, and all that while sitting Comfortably your whole family😅, can't even think they really compete. And the G Class is on a whole other level for a dedicated 2 row Offroader, so this smells fishy... The only thing I see for Lexus which this new proposition is being cheaper.

Again & Again Toyota making small little SUV's that are un comfortable..Old Landcruiser & now the new Lexus.. No back seat room. Disappointing for the outrageous costs..Also too narrow
