Range Rover Sport vs Mercedes-Benz GLS Comparison overview

Comparison overview: The Range Rover Sport starts at ₹1.38 Cr and the Mercedes-Benz GLS at ₹1.32 Cr, a difference of ₹6.00 L ex-showroom. On-road in New Delhi that gap becomes roughly ₹6.66 L. Here is what the extra money actually buys.

Mileage and running cost: The Range Rover Sport Diesel/Petrol Automatic is rated at 12.65 kmpl and the Mercedes-Benz GLS Diesel/Petrol Automatic at 12 kmpl. At 1,000 km a month, the Range Rover Sport saves you about ₹385.37549407114597 a month and ₹4.62 K a year on fuel.

What one gives that the other does not: The Range Rover Sport adds Heads-Up Display (HUD), Sun Roof, Petrol Fuel Tank Capacity, Top Speed and Gear Shift Indicator. The Mercedes-Benz GLS adds Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist, Central Locking, Child Safety Locks and Anti-Theft Alarm. 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 ₹6.00 L for your down payment than spend it on features.

Buy the Range Rover Sport if you do regular highway runs, you carry luggage or a pram often, and you want Driver Airbag without waiting for the next facelift.

The one thing that settles it: Range Rover Sport offers Heads-Up Display (HUD).

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.
