The collision detection at least in my XC40 Recharge only triggers when you're going head on against an obstacle in front of you and I believe it takes into account your steering angle, that's why it didn't trigger. It knew at that angle you wouldn't collide with the truck otherwise it'll trigger at every corner.

XC40 and Mercedes Q5 for me are the most superior SUVs.

None of these are the best. The Tesla Model Y is actually the best. Too bad y’all didn’t include it since you are clearly paid buy these brands to include their cars.

Hi Matt, having looked in detail at three out of the four SUVs (no experience with the Volvo) I can second you ranking Mercedes - Audi -BMW. One area you did not cover, but which is important is the charging speed. The Mercedes comes with 11kW AC charging as standard, which means that you can charge back to about 100% when you go 2 hours shopping or do a 2 hour customer visit. WLTP range 119-130km depending on options. You can even upgrade to 50kW DC charging, which turns the GLC to an ALMOST electrical car which is a good option in countries where the charging infrastructure is not well developed (my impression was that this applies e.g. to the UK, but also many parts of Southern or Eastern Europe). Admittedly, the car does not make sense in the Nordics, Benelux, Germany etc. where the range extending ICE is simply not needed anymore. The Audi charges with 7.4 kW AC, but does not have a fast charging option. WLTP range 56-62km depending on options. I guess it delivers what is typical for PHEVs in that price range with respect to charging and range. The BMW charges with veeeeeery slow 3.7 kW AC. WLTP range 51-55km depending on options. Admittedly this was still acceptable back when the X3 was introduced, it is anachronistic by today's standards.

[@BashDeCash]

Thamks for the details

[@TrustMeIKnowEverything]

You don't need fast charging for these bro. They self charge as well and the audi is 2 hours at 7kw🤦‍♂️

[@Msr.shaikh482]

BMW X3 and Volvo XC60 😍❣️

[@SegaFire]

It would not be superfluous to note that the Volvo battery is located in the central tunnel between the front passengers and has an independent all-wheel drive system. The gasoline engine drives only the front wheels, while the rear wheels are connected only to the electric motor. This has both its pros and cons. But this is a significant difference from other cars in which the electric motor is located along with the gearbox.

Volvo is not at the top of safety anymore. They only just got into top 20 last year in EURONCAP while Tesla got 1st and 2nd place in front of a Mercedes.

[@lbnewell23]

@@Arpedk I think it’s crazy that Tesla got first and second when you look at a lot of their crashes in the real world where the cars have been splitting in half and catching fire. The only reason they seem to score so much higher than competitors is that they are next to impossible to roll since the batteries are so low. Also the amount of videos I have seen on Instagram of Volvo crash tests vs all the German brands I would much rather be in one than the Mercedes bmw and Audi equivalent. When they hit the barriers all of the competition stop dead often getting air and bouncing backwards. The Volvos plough straight on Massively reducing the forces that the occupants go through. Sadly a cars safety rating is not based solely on how well it performs in an impact anymore and on impacts Volvos still handle them the best

[@Arpedk]

@lbnewell lol, so few cases of that and still maybe only 1 confirmed battery fire of a Model 3 or Y. Also EuroNCAP doesn't use rollover for their scores. Don't believe everything you see in the news.

[@bigduphusaj162]

Evolved? Mate a dual clutch gearbox is from a 1970s tractor, tractors are on 6 clutch 50+speed power shift gearboxes nowadays.. and the only other thing that's changed is tyre tech has got better to allow for a much faster 60ft. The rest of the tech is junk, laggy screens instead of interior and they are becoming less aerodynamic 😂 I mean a Vauxhall Carlton from 30yr ago has lower drag Co-eff. Suspension wise they run cars stiffer now with diabolically bad dampening and rebound that confuses them over bumps, cambers & potholes. Not really sure where the hike in Tech is when motorbikes have 6 axis systems that can even prevent highsides they and have much faster electronic polling so can react a lot faster and speed up or slow down the engine way way faster as there's no internal weight in the engine. These current car engines as still lethargic as it gets on rpm change so you won't break any handling or roadholding records while the car is weight transitioning all over the place to compensate for the lazy engines. Porsche have done probably the best job as they kept the smaller 6 block and lightened it up internally so it was more responsive, the results paid off but they are a long long way from being at motorcycle engine tech levels. Lorries have better engine and gearbox tech than cars by several decades so please 🙏 don't over hype these disposable junk heaps they need to sort the build quality out for a start, they fall apart in months modern cars.

It has electric range of 77km + the fuel tank of 71 litres, which gives you a real 900+km of the range on te highway. Non of the other cars will do it. Also, speaking about the basic version, Volvo has much better spec. Google entertainment maybe is not so good, and no physical buttons unfortunately, but Google system on Volvo works much faster than on the other cars. I love Matt's reviews, but this one was not objective at all. Looks like only Matt's personal preferences to the brands were taken into account. Also, for Google system on Volvo, you can bind shortcuts, instead of navigating through out the system.

My Camper (3,5 tons, 6,4m long) also has over 900km range (more like 1000), I don't get whats so special about it.

[@cinemastratv]

@@E620SE my main point was that only Volvo can make 900+ range among those 4 cars. And for those people, who travel for long distance - it makes a big deal.

@@cinemastratvrange is not everything in this segment though, this is the “luxury crossover” segment. The interior comfort is a big factor in this case. If you wanted the most range you could choose different cars. Driving experience, comfort, looks and usability of the infotainment are all important.

[@cinemastratv]

@@j800q Infotainment system on Volvo works great and to my opinion is one of the best on the market, because it is nothing more, than a nice and fast Android Tablet. Actually don't need to use anymore Car Play at all. CleanZone feature is extremely nice for keeping the air fresh. Seats are the most comfortable of these 4 cars. Also, boot space is the largest one. Luxury cars are the ones, that give us a comfort ride for a long trip. Driving 30miles distance is not giving any tireness. Actually, luxurity of the cars is defined by the comfort - Volvo is 1st here, performance - Volvo is 1st here, Equipment - the same for all cars, amenities - I would give to Audi Q5 here. The only thing, that might be not so well is a status, because of not German car. I was awaiting for this Mercedes GLC 300e for a year, after it was announced. And I was very disappointed by its quality and comfort. I had 2 Mercedeses before (C class and E class) and unfortunately, they are losing their luxurity. BMW X3 was not so comfortable to drive as other cars, especially on the bumps. Yes, more fun. But nobody is buying such cars for fun, isn't it? Perhaps, if I would buy an SUV for fun - I would go with LR Defender P400e 110.

Nice premium family suvs. I like them all and some have better specification in that, others have better in another thing. Overall I would choose by this order of preference: 1. MERCEDES 2. AUDI 3. VOLVO 4. BMW

[@stefanfalldorf6573]

It would be interesting to see what breaks down first in the Audi. The DSG or the 2.0 TSI? As a german who worked for Mercedes and VW and never liked BMW I would go for the Volvo. My V70 got now 400.000km and runs like new. Best car I ever had.

[@winfle]

lol, if you'd worked for VW, you would know that Audi doesn't use DSG and TSI, they have S-tronic and TFSI

Hello, I purchased a GLC 400e with the AMG Premium package on January 26, 2023. After two months, I experienced issues with the transmission controllers. In fact, the gearbox repeatedly failed at high speeds, especially above 160 kilometers per hour, causing significant stress and concern for my own safety and that of my family while driving on the highway. This serious risk of an accident has put me and my family in danger. After four attempts to diagnose the problem by Mercedes, starting from June 21, my vehicle has been at the Mercedes service center in Aschaffenburg, Germany. However, unfortunately, they do not have the necessary parts for the repair, and I am forced to wait until July 31. Undoubtedly, this lengthy delay has left me extremely dissatisfied and angry with Mercedes. Until today, despite sending multiple emails to Mercedes and filling out their form, they have not made any contact or taken any actions to address my concerns and seek my satisfaction.

Hi Carwow Could you pit a Mazda CX-60 PHEV up against some or all of these cars please? I’ve just purchased one and would love to see your thoughts on where it sits up against these cars as I believe it’s better looking and has better interior quality and functionality than some if not all of the cars in this review. Cheers guys 🙂🤞🏼

[@vintageyu-hi-oh4271]

I love everything about the merc other than the chrome strips to the left and right of the badge at the front

[@Leffe123]

Volvo is still the best looking both inside and out.

[@mvm3016]

I just got a 2024 Volvo Plus PHEV. Absolutely love this car. Always love the styling of the Volvos. The other three cars look tremendous, but for the price Volvo has always been very good about not nickel and diming you for all the additional like BMW and Audi does. I’m not sure if the higher price point (in the US) is coming from tariffs, but between the $7500 federal credit, and various other discounts (loyalty, first responder, etc.) the overall cost of the car dropped by $11K. Tremendous deal!

@@briannyazika964 The Jaguar F pace is very comparable to the cars that are shown. These aren’t proper luxury cars, they are like the S class and bmw X5, X7 etc. Therefore the Jaguar is able to compete as it focuses on being spacious and nice to drive than a xc60 while having a luxurious cabin
