The combination of design and power is what really determines the high resale value of the vehicles listed here. The Mercedes-Benz GLE (freshly renamed in 2016, recall) is not only available with a fine array of different powertrains, but its overall level of quality is also worthy of note.

2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Class

The category of large luxury SUVs is quite varied. Take the three top performers on CBB’S 2020 list, which includes an old military vehicle (G-Class), a big American mastodon (Navigator) and a slick, more-refined SUV (Range Rover Sport). Talk about variety.

As the Canadian Black Book reminds us, the purchase of a Mercedes-Benz G-Class is primarily an impulse decision (for well-heeled buyers, of course), catalyzed by the image of the model rather than the smooth ride delivered by this all-purpose 4x4.
