Mercedes-Benz and Porsche both have a reputation for excellence. Driving either one is an indication of success and a cause for happiness. Of course, you would not be disappointed by the wheel of either vehicle, but with an investment well above six figures, don't you want to make sure you are making the right decision? When it comes to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and the Porsche Cayenne, 2017 is an exciting year.

Without knowing anything about these two SUVs, you can immediately recognize a size difference. The Porsche Cayenne is longer and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is much, much taller. This extra height comes with a few side effects. The first is that you get a lot more interior room in the G-Class. This includes headroom but also means more shoulder, leg, and cargo room for front and back passengers.

Mercedes-Benz AMG® Performance

As you can see from the specifications above, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo actually comes with more power and more torque than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. On top of that, the G-Class is much heavier, making for slower acceleration from 0-60. Beyond 60, however, the G-Class roars into action to keep up with the Cayenne.

When you get behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz AMG® vehicle, you are getting behind the engineers that hand-built your engine from the ground up. You are getting behind a lifestyle that you will never want to return from and you are getting behind a whole lot of muscle.
