Lexus and Mercedes-Benz are two of the most well-known brands in the luxury car space. Nevertheless, the Mercedes-Benz brand’s reliability and reputation can’t be duplicated. On the whole, Mercedes-Benz models offer higher performance capabilities, unique interior features as standard, and greater efficiency than Lexus models. We compare the two brands side by side for Rancho Cucamonga drivers below to show them why Mercedes-Benz is truly a one-of-a-kind brand.
| Mercedes-Benz | VS | Lexus |
|---|---|---|
| 7-day/500-mile Exchange Privilege | CPO Program Benefits | Benefit Not Offered |
| 4 years/50,000 miles | New Vehicle Limited Warranty | 4 years/50,000 miles |
| $37,500* MSRP | Mercedes-Benz GLA SUV vs. Lexus NX | $40,605* MSRP |
| Car-to-X Communication | Mercedes-Benz E-Class vs. Lexus GS | Feature Not Offered |
| 84.7 Cubic Feet of Cargo Space | Mercedes-Benz GLS vs. Lexus LX | 71 Cubic Feet of Cargo Space |
Both Mercedes-Benz and Lexus back up your new car with a 4-year/50,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty, so no matter which brand you choose, you’ll have peace of mind on Fontana roads. One of the ways that a Mercedes-Benz vehicle stands apart from a Lexus is that all new, certified pre-owned, and pre-owned Mercedes-Benz models are eligible for Prepaid Maintenance, which allows you to service your vehicle now and pay for it later. This can take the stress out of maintaining your Mercedes-Benz vehicle and isn’t something offered with BMW.
When you buy a certified pre-owned vehicle from Mercedes-Benz, you’ll enjoy additional benefits that you wouldn’t with a Lexus CPO vehicle. For example, unlike Lexus, the Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned Program comes with a 7-day/500-mile Exchange Privilege in the event that you change your mind. What’s more, Mercedes-Benz inspects its certified pre-owned vehicles more vigorously. While Lexus models must pass a 161-point inspection, Mercedes-Benz CPO vehicles are required to pass a 165-point inspection in order to be considered certified pre-owned.
With a Mercedes-Benz certified pre-owned vehicle, if a driver breaks down more than 100 miles from home, Mercedes-Benz will reimburse any travel expenses, up to $300 per day for three days. Lexus has a similar program, but it only covers up to $200 per day.
When it comes to price, Lexus has a lower starting price than Mercedes-Benz, but not by much. Here are the lowest starting prices for each brand:
2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA SUV: $37,500 MSRP*
2024 BMW 2 Series: $36,690 MSRP
While Lexus might have a lower starting price on its least expensive model, it’ll become apparent for Chino drivers why Mercedes-Benz is still the more desirable brand, offering exclusive technology features, performance capabilities, and a whole lot more.
