TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2022 Lexus GX is a dinosaur among luxury SUVs, though a tech upgrade this year at least brings it up to par.

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class doesn’t compromise on interior space or in performance, though the V-8s are taking a year off.

TCC Likes

Off-road tech
Decent tech, finally

Terrific performance

TCC Dislikes

Skip that third row
No V-8s this year
Opulence has a cost
