The trouble with the elimination test is that some SUV's perform better at different tasks. I wonder how the BMW would perform on the slalom test for example. It may not have the biggest ultimate luggage space but it may be the more dynamic road car. I think points based tests are better than elimination tests as different people have different priorities..

[@fzs27]

Exactly. That should be the first test.

[@paultasker7788]

Have to agree with many that you should test all the cars in all categories with a score for each rather than eliminating potentially the best car because the boot is a little smaller.

[@yousaac1]

For that kind of money it's the X5 , hands down.

[@derekheckley9447]

Run the tests in a different order...different result. Great fun though.

[@Heretohelp750]

X5 all day every day 😅

[@connclissmann6514]

Like practically every PHEV, they are only running green on battery if they are charged from the mains. The big question is will the users of these vehicles ever charge them?

[@jamesecroucher]

Yes.

[@mikadavies660]

I was out on the £70,000+ for a 2.0Ltr regardless to its boot space.

[@GammaPanda]

Was that the newly refreshed Cayenne? There were a lot of changes made to the e-hybrid model. It looked like the old one based on the gauge cluster.

[@paultaylor5358]

Suv's make me sad 😮

[@harrymontgomery2923]

I am surprised the GLE plug-in hybrid is missing from this test. Why is that @fifthgear?

[@Isha048]

A plug-in hybrid car? No thanks, I plug in my laptop. I'll never buy a car like you showed in your video, I don't like the principle, it's a waste of time. I don't understand people who always say... oh, I don't have time, and then they buy electric cars. I can understand a non plug-in hybrid car, of course I can, but nothing else. Thanks for the video, 4 cars to put in my black list.

[@davidwarnes5158]

What do they do 30 miles if that electric alone, and then no better on fuel than a diesel car, or suv . Its a 5ax con for business drivers.

[@clintonshawe5205]

VBH is just dreamy 😍

[@TheGhiaDriver]

I'd rather have a proper car rather than these wasteful things

[@heman691]

You mean your another selfish moaner that doesn’t care about their passengers

[@liamsxa]

I do and end up borrowing the wife's suv all the time for life related things

[@thechairman74]

No one would ever actually use that luggage cover in reality. 😅

[@fatphoca5009]

Two large suitcases in the boot is hopeless. How is that enough luggage space for a family of 4/5 especially if you have older kids?

[@jasonvincent3854]

Surely the gle should be in the mix

[@MoJoAssets]

Oh … if only they’d kept making the 4.2 Cayenne Diesel S! The best Cayenne ever built.

[@RiddlerG3]

In practicality I would include cost of ownership. Reliability lately is a big issues with Audi having insane problems and Volvo the same. I know it is hard for a brand new car, but maybe take into consideration the previous models for a benchmark?

[@tylershelton7386]

The least boring wins.

[@nishankamin]

Shouldnt the X7 be in this instead of the X5 ?

[@rogerrichards8048]

I think the best two dynamic SUV’s got eliminated in the first two tests -not entirely sure your methodology gave you the best overall vehicle🤔

[@uniqu3xperience965]

Omg I haven't seen fith gear for like 15 years Vicky looks the same! In the other hand sorry my man he looks like a pensioner.

[@roger4880]

Need the Jag SVR in the mix, the only SUV that makes sense to buy.

[@stephenodonohue9876]

As for the shorts Jason... just say no😮.

[@ghazaqudzammi7363]

In Jeremy Clarkson terms “ Just get yourself a Range Rover “

[@bodrulm1]

If you can drive it out the forecourt without it breaking down...

[@Perthshire]

3:18 what is she takling about here?

[@thechairman74]

Is it the car or something else? 😅

[@MoJoAssets]

A sign of the eco-loon age. The car that’s best to drive goes out first!

[@nicoclaudia2724]

Video from 1 day ago…so where is the X5 50e? 🤔 Stupid elimination test, instand drop-off best real world SUVs! Points based tests would been far better choice.

[@maxmeyer74]

Where's the Range Rover?

[@Perthshire]

someone has pinched it

[@andrewlangridge2257]

No-one can insure them anymore.

[@leotac5737]

not this price range

[@stephenodonohue9876]

Are you guys actually back... or are you just wasting our time again? I've never seen a channel have so many relaunches. P.S. I do hope your back for good this time.

[@nicholls64]

These knockout reviews are a total waste of time… results purely based on the order of the tests…

[@romb1818]

SUV = AutObese

[@vitovitale169]

So, first Vicki informs us that she likes them "thick and chunky" which is very interesting. After which she goes on about how "brilliantly built" Aud's are? Has she ever actually owned an older Audi? I have owned them all except for the R8 and they are the biggest piles of junk Germany has ever made period!

[@123antimiro]

Anytime I watch this guy he allways unfairly prioritize BMW. Honestly from those suvs the BMW is biggest crap based on my experience. BMW produce very very unreliable cars apart of Dacia, Dacia is even worse.

[@Perthshire]

Net zero, blah, blah, blah

[@51madmitch]

They are heavy on fuel cause more damage to roads a fact by the transport industry, due to their massive weight, science has shown SUV’s have increased CO2 by plus 30% in the last few years, and all you see is one person in most of them, a waste of world resources.

[@netweed09]

*OOOO*

[@alanpassmore2574]

It appears there is no end in sight for the ever swelling Chelsea Tractor. Why not make Quark & Namaste walk to boarding school so you have more time at the nail bar. Stupid cars for stupid people. Give me a Lada Niva any day over these..
