Your Volvo interior is from the XC60, not XC40 which you discuss in the video

[@KuyaArbee]

YAY! Glad to see that you reviewed a T4 FWD

[@Ali-yj6pl]

Small luxury SUV tested on track! How does that make sense? Take them out on urban street and highway where they would be driven

[@siddharthgoyal4008]

This, I don't think even manufactures themselves would ever bother to test them on track nor will any buyer. Drive em through potholes etc!

[@gethinnadin]

There’s actually quite a few bits of incorrect info in this video as others have said.

[@user-zj1fi2tw9z]

3:52 that's a 60 series interior not an xc40 interior

[@atki81]

Yes it definitely the wrong car interior video they use

[@cnxexpat1862]

The 2021 X1 has a digital driver display.

[@thabisomaleka3933]

The Volvo XC40 is very hard to beat. The Q3 Sportback is beautiful but maybe Audi need a SQ3 to compete with Volvo here. Don’t even know why the GLA exists

[@Duublett]

Oh how the turns have been tabled

[@artagain8977]

Volvo needs to fix their reliability issues though.

[@ShahzadK1519]

Audi pleeeeeeeeeassssse (I love Audi). :)

[@szarbaba]

Jaguar E pace doesn't have a place in this comparo?!

[@Vickys11]

Why No BMW X2 ?

[@pawanpadeliya798]

justin rocks!

[@FR3DD6]

You need to drag race and demonstrate how they perform in comparison… this was all so advertised and controlled!!!!

[@Masteraal]

Bit confused how Audi beat Volvo last year but lost to them this year when the cars are the same... What made the Volvo better this year compared to last year?

[@Drivecomau]

The addition of the PHEV made it a more complete model range for the XC40.

[@manianjomi]

@@Drivecomau What about TSFI e version of Q3 with PHEV ? It should definitely beat XC40!

[@Kingisback8471]

And Audi is much better looking car in any segment. Especially exterior 👌

[@henriknielsen1176]

The "pocket" in front of the armrest in the Volvo is not a pocket. It's a trashcan. 🙄🤦‍♂️

[@ekayacan]

You put Volvo XC60 interior videos. why?

[@bigess]

They made a mistake

[@mickolsen8823]

thats a q3 sportback not a q3

[@rangerbrokdjjd]

Audi is the best which is why I’m confused

[@andrewd7586]

No price mentioned for the Volvo..... 🤔

[@Sam-wx4qx]

The price is not mentioned because they are comparing GLA250 and Audi Q3 40 TSI against base model XC40 T4 FWD whereas the others are AWD.

[@andrewd7586]

@@Sam-wx4qx They gave price range of the other 2 models covering base to high spec.

[@Sam-wx4qx]

Yes it was mentioned but like for like were not tested. You have top of the range v bottom of the range. It’s missing consistency

[@aru4riz]

My god what a Volvo bias

[@brucemadu8535]

Well JD Power rates Volvo near the bottom.

[@Maggieismydog]

Volvo service costs are stupidly expensive, one of the most expensive vehicles to service in Australia. This really turned us of purchasing.

[@Talan274]

Steering wheel is on the wrong side.

[@milosnovotny8407]

I would never buy a Volvo or Subaru in my life.

[@user-we6fi9se3g]

The GLA is really the best looking SUV, I have one it's really outstanding.......I think your taste is not great.....

[@Kingisback8471]

I like Audi's exterior, Mercedes interior & exterior very beautiful. But that Volvo interior is okay but exterior is so ugly and i don't know how he won this test 🤷

[@Marstardon-]

should be the glb the gla is the dumbest buy ever it’s wayyy to small like a kia but a kia soul may be bigger

[@midlandgeordie]

Range Rover evogue?

[@EB720S]

Doesn't make no sense the Audi is the best car

[@sleepyjoescumbag1663]

China toy promotion

[@berkofilip7]

cause of the brand? lol, nah bud, volvo is so much better in every aspect

[@Kingisback8471]

@@berkofilip7 yeah it's like a box

[@aru4riz]

Chinese owned Volvo had showered so much money to them

[@Kingisback8471]

I recommend to delete this video and make another one cause you guys did some mistakes. XC40 interior mixed with his big brother And Volvo von this time just because of PHEV. Interior nothing really special, and back seats to small no enough leg room. Come on that Audi & Mercedes they look absolutely amazing in & out and they handling it's no way out. This is my opinion and also i read the comments down and pretty much everyone is against this.

[@alfreddeneumann]

I'm kinda losing faith here. Mismatched cars in other comparisons and now this. The Audi is clearly the best here. I said it

[@andyb7719]

so much bias. Volvo must be paying heaps to get these wins

[@sleepyjoescumbag1663]

They are now owned by the Chinese. Must paid lot of money for the china toy to win. Audi and Benz are miles ahead in every sector compared to the china toy

[@majorrgeek]

what crap, Volvo hybrid spells disaster - tell the truth Volvo Cars Customer Service Australia is very, very bad.

[@kianbusuttil4484]

1st

[@friggincanvee]

Congrats.

[@sleepyjoescumbag1663]

Wow how much china pay you to promote the China toy?

[@berkofilip7]

audi fangay alert

[@janneshildebrandt1]

Haha Volvo wins wtf, wins because of phev??? Thats a downgrade not an upgrade. Atleast Audi has Real engines and not expensive hybrid crap. What joke this test!

[@sternwho3932]

xc40 now made in china.

[@xjcxjc222]

stereotype,

[@davidperry3531]

No-it is made in Belgium. The XC60 is made in China.
