The easiest way to treat yourself each time you get behind the wheel is to find an SUV that will leave you feeling like you’re relaxing at the spa and not headed to work. Let your muscles relax with the help of standard heated front seats that’s reminiscent of a hot stone massage.
Let the interior ambient lighting take your comfort a step further by setting the mood. However, the X7 takes interior lighting to the next level with the optional Panoramic Sky Lounge LED Roof. With this feature, a series of roof-mounted ambient lights will shine from above.
Speaking of which, the X7 comes standard with a panoramic roof, allowing natural light to flood the cabin. The GLE, on the other hand, only has this as an optional feature.
With the spa-like atmosphere set, fill your cabin with the soothing sounds of waves rolling on a warm sand beach or thunder softly crashing in the distance to relax you more. Both the X7 and GLE make listening to these relaxing sounds possible, thanks to their entertainment systems.
Both SUVs come standard with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, so you can connect your smartphone to your vehicle and play your favorite relaxing sound with ease.
BMW X7 passengers will have an easier time accessing crisp audio because of the optional Harman Kardon® Surround Sound Audio System. This system come with 16 strategically placed speakers. The Mercedes-Benz GLE only has 13 speakers in its optional sound system.
Having enough room to stretch out plays a major role in the comfort of you and your passengers.
The X7 comes standard with seating for up to seven passengers. The Mercedes-Benz GLE has seating for seven, as well, but this is only an optional feature.
Even with two extra seats, the X7 still offers extra space for passengers to travel comfortably.
