On a similar note, a GWM Tank 300 that cost 1/5 or 1/10 of Mercedes G-Wagon price (depending on the countries) is as good if not better in term of interior luxury, moving from A to B and off-road capability [1]. It now has reached its 300K milestone production recently and has 5-star NCAP safety rating. It has taken 4WD scene in China by storm and fast becoming Corolla of 4WD world.

"Good not if better in terms of interior luxury"? You're wildly delusional or have never actually been in a Mercedes, Audi, or BMW. Maybe the pre-reworked G-wagons - those were basically tarted up army trucks - but definitely not the new ones. https://youtu.be/ML_zUFp0igY?t=278 https://youtu.be/ML_zUFp0igY?t=278 Listen to the noises the interior components make when opened/closed and how they look. It's all super cheap, hard, undampened plastic. Another video - listen to the noise the door makes when it closes. There isn't a lick of sound deadening material in there and the door is probably made of thin-as-paper metal. https://youtu.be/t0vM3B9oJqs?t=74 https://youtu.be/t0vM3B9oJqs?t=74 Keep watching and you'll see how bad the stitching is on the back of the front passenger seat. Here you can see the dome light plastic is painted silver and it's already been scratched up badly, and you can hear the lack of dampening and sound deadening when he actuates the switches (and note there's no soft on/off): https://youtu.be/t0vM3B9oJqs?t=86 https://youtu.be/t0vM3B9oJqs?t=86 ...then you can hear the entire back seat rattle as he squeezes the headrest. Here he slaps the rear passenger seat and it sounds like the sort of noise I'd expect out of a 1990's Chevy: https://youtu.be/t0vM3B9oJqs?t=92 https://youtu.be/t0vM3B9oJqs?t=92 Guaranteed that when driving that thing on any sort of road that isn't perfectly smooth, it'll be a veritable din of rattling.

Cool vehicle, but comparing it to a Mercedes G-Class platform that has been refined and optimized over 45 years and entrusted by militaries around the world is one hell of a stretch. This looks more like a cheap Jeep alternative with an attempt at a luxury interior (that looks ultra tacky and cheap to me, but to each their own). I’m always surprised at how HN will rant about cheap Chinese products on Amazon all day, but the moment a press release for a Chinese G-Class knockoff comes out we’re supposed to believe it’s the superior vehicle.

  It helps that the bar on the Mercedes side has been falling faster than a sack of bricks for 10 years now.

I doubt anyone who’s actually been in both would say they’re comparable at all. Even in photos it looks like a tacky knock off.
