At Lexus of Arlington, it's rather common that motivated Chicagoland shoppers ask about the various differences between new Lexus models and Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

While both marques offer Greater Chicago shoppers a distinctive level of luxury and performance, personal preference is everything when coming to a decision. Though certain nuances are most definitely brand related.

Lexus – the Newer Brand in Arlington Heights
rnrn
Lexus came into being in 1990 as the luxury division of Toyota. And therein rests the very nature and underpinning of this relatively new enterprise. To every Lexus SUV, sedan and coupe, brand-minted qualities of dependability and longevity are extended.

On the other hand, Mercedes-Benz has been around since the late 19th century, and is often regarded as leading the industry in terms of performance and technology. While there's solid brand presence in many quarters of Greater Chicago, the Lexus marque competes in certain essential categories.

Reliability
rnrn
Lexus models are renowned for an overarching sense of reliability. This has been measured by industry clearinghouses performing tests and reaching a score to publish. Always outpacing Mercedes-Benz models, Lexus luxury vehicles continue to earn elevated marks. And most telling is the Lexus powertrain warranty spanning six-years/70,000-miles – this, in addition to the Lexus four-year/50,000-mile plan.

Pricing
rnrn
Pricing to many Lexus luxury models tends to be lower than any Mercedes-Benz vehicle offered shoppers in Arlington Heights. In fact, on average it's been reported that Lexus vehicles cost nearly $17,000 less than a comparable Mercedes-Benz. An nuanced example is the starting point of $36,490 for the Lexus UX Hybrid, which is considerably less than Mercedes-Benz GLA.
