The Q7 needs two car parking spaces, nearly. It's huge. I mean: compared to all the other cars in Sainsbury's carpark it stands out like you've driven a bus in.

[@IC.XC.NI.KA.]

The Discovery shouldn't even be considered as it is a mechanical/electrical nightmare of an SUV. Forget it!

[@chrismurphy87]

Tarraco ? Would of thought that would be better especially equipment wise compared to the allspace

[@videowsatcher]

simple advice is this if you want a three row vehicle, but not an mpv, with third row that has a decent amount of room and you don't live in the US, the GLS is the only one (or if you cant afford one, or stomach the depreciation, buy a used GL/GLS but make sure its with extended warranty). I own the previous gen which is bigger than the current X7, and I can just fit behind the second row (in a non-knees up position) and I am 5 ft 10. I have tried but I cant do this in anything else short of a large van based mpv.

[@diesel92kj1]

I find all cars the UK gets tiny also.

[@gabi90000]

You forgot the GLS Jo’

[@amedmohebbi6161]

What about the Lexus RXL 350h???

[@DiwaGalvez]

Very cramped third row, almost useless cargo boot with all seats up, not available in diesel, and has a meh infotainment system (not anymore horrible since it's a touchscreen now, and has Android Auto/Apple Carplay). It will last longer on the road, and you'll visit the service centers far, far less often, though.

[@MrBazsi888]

List should be: 1. Audi SQ7 2. Lexus 450hL (long trim) 3. Toyota LandCruiser 4. Volvo XC90 5. Bmw X7 & Merc because of reliability . . . 10. Anything for uk

[@michaelsimpkins5178]

The Outlander is a good car and is more reliable than any JLR and VAG group product

[@shanjanusman9974]

Not as swish swish as The Volvo XC90 hybrid which is better looking and stylish.

[@terrificspokesman7416]

Mitsubishi is not reliable piston ring problems. Also outdated car

[@pictlandpickers1171]

Shogun sport if you want to go off-road

[@shanjanusman9974]

I'd pick Volvo XC90 T8 as it's a hybrid powered SUV with seven seats

[@Aylaun84]

£70k

[@diesel92kj1]

I find it crazy that the UK does not get full size SUV's or Pick Up Truck's especially with the fact that you cannot get three car seats in the back of any European car I know of.

[@iz2904]

Roads are too small & narrow here 🚮

[@nordynek]

Seat Tarraco?

[@MarlonKingShow]

Would love to know how much these cost to run over 3 years. A friend had the q7 a few years ago and was 400-500 per tyre replacement, let alone anything else.

[@Thalasius]

He told you that and you believed him?

[@MarlonKingShow]

@@Thalasius in the UK, at the time, it was costing me 160-200 per tyre for my 16 inch on my mazda, so I could easily imagine 300+ for 20inch tyres with the anti punch 50 mile recovery built in

[@iz2904]

Get work done in small garages, they charge less

[@H22ABR]

Discovery sport made to 6th Position but no space for RXL or Xtrail or Crv? Interesting!!

[@TheNishanradha]

Did u missed the Merc GLS Is a Peugeot better than a Merc GLS?

[@the___truth8038]

Well it's obviously not better than the BMW, either.

[@bhoomeerg8045]

Forgot the Bentayga, too. Anyways nobody can afford it

[@bhoomeerg8045]

No. Bentayga is also available as a 7 seater.

[@atulc3218]

How can you forget Merc GLS? Range Rover, X7 and GLS need to be in top 3 spots without any doubt.

[@user-cf7ec2gw1z]

Maybe because they are expensive

[@terrificspokesman7416]

Range Rover not a 7 seater

[@michellet1231]

Lincoln Aviator is a luxury SUV with options for a plug in + 7 or 6 seats AND has more horsepower and torque than all of these cars.

[@lungulet]

Not for sale in Europe!

[@Hope2421]

What about the SsangYong Rexton Ultimate, great suv

[@johnturner4400]

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

What Car? Your title and comments above are a tad... Err... Contradictory to one another. To say the least. Your title says "Best 7 seat SUVs AND 4x4s". But your comments above say "So you need a 7 seat SUV. And it needs to be available as a proper 4x4." So which is it. A 7 seat SUV or it has to be a 4x4 too? If it's "7 seat SUVs AND 4x4s", then I'm surprised that the Tesla Model X isn't on the list? And if not, why not? And no, I'm not a Tesla fanboy. EDIT - And you also said "and the ONES to avoid". But only came up with one to avoid. So that's contradictory too!!

[@terrificspokesman7416]

Model X is not best quality. But many other suvs are not good quality

[@jamiep61]

Great Video Guide. All the ten models featured are great SUVs

[@anouskatkout]

Why Peugeot in the second row mean it is best more than Volvo hhh

[@imthi1224]

where is luxes and Toyota 🤔

[@hamzah510]

So the Peugeot 5008 is better than a Land Rover Discovery?

[@permikkelsen2059]

Yes a Peugeot is better than any Land Rover/Range Rover... British cars and reliability is a joke.

Well pers...sorry to say I have done 300.000 miles in three Range Rovers with only one issue that was quickly resolved....my wife has an Audi S4 Avant that has had a new gear box and window sensor in six months...don’t so stereotype nonsense

[@gergelykondas7842]

This list doesn't make any sense! Volvo + Land Rover are very unreliable - we have few ot them in our fleet and have many problems. I can't recommend these cars! Tiguan Allspace are made in Mexico! Delivery time is about 1 year! VW has another factory here in EU where those Allspace are "rebuild" (to take apart & assemble) because the mexican work-quality is so low. That's a fact. KIA's have 7 years warranty that sounds great but it is limited (150.000 km + clutch, brakes and so on....)! Suzuki Vitara and Dacia Duster are much-much better however they are not as "premium" as the others and have only 5 seats. Nobody needs 7 seats! This is also a fact! And what about Toyota or Lexus RX450h or Mazda?

[@khalsainuk]

What's your view of Ford S-Max Vignale ?

I had Mitsubishi on hire for two months, unfortunately it was unrefined and interior felt ten years old...it’s just dated ...fact

Nothing said about that there, that’s also not a reason to avoid a vehicle. It’s a taste. No journalist should argue over taste. Q7 for me looks dated as f.

[@DiwaGalvez]

@@rivorianest At least the Q7 got updated, though interior-wise. Still, as terrible as the Outlander and every Mitsubishi right now not named Pajero Sport and Triton is, they will last longer than anything VW puts out there.

Have what car not heard the famous quote " if you want get there take X5, Q7 ,XC90 etc etc but if you want to come back buy a Landcruiser . They hold their value aswell you don't even have to sell it people will offer you money for it . They never consider the Landcruiser because they are never mentioned in test like above or on tele .
