Mercedes-Benz GLS vs BMW M4 Competition Comparison overview
Comparison overview: The Mercedes-Benz GLS starts at ₹1.32 Cr and the BMW M4 Competition at ₹1.52 Cr, a difference of ₹20.00 L ex-showroom. On-road in New Delhi that gap becomes roughly ₹22.20 L. Here is what the extra money actually buys.
Mileage and running cost: These two figures are not like for like. The Mercedes-Benz GLS number is for the Diesel/Petrol Automatic and the BMW M4 Competition number is for the Petrol Automatic, so compare the variants you are actually shortlisting.
What one gives that the other does not: The Mercedes-Benz GLS adds Child Safety Locks, Anti-Theft Alarm, Side Airbag-Rear, Acoustic Vehicle Alert System and Knee Airbags. The BMW M4 Competition adds Heads-Up Display (HUD), Tyre Size, Digital Cluster, Adaptive High Beam Assist and Petrol Mileage ARAI. The rest of both spec sheets is shared.
Which one should you buy?
Buy the Mercedes-Benz GLS if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹20.00 L for your down payment than spend it on features.
Buy the BMW M4 Competition if you do regular highway runs, you carry luggage or a pram often, and you want Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) without waiting for the next facelift.
The one thing that settles it: Mercedes-Benz GLS offers Child Safety Locks.
Before you sign anything:
Ex-showroom price is not what you pay. Add registration, road tax, insurance and handling, and expect the final figure to land ten to twelve percent higher. Road tax changes state to state, so a car that costs the same in two cities does not cost the same to own.
Ask the dealer four things before you book. What is the current waiting period for the variant you want. What is the on-road figure.
Then drive both cars back to back on the same day, on a road you actually use. Take your family. Put your usual luggage in the boot. Most people decide in the first ten minutes, and it is rarely for the reason they expected.
