For those wondering why the Mercedes GLC or Jaguar F-Pace aren't here it's because the Audi Q5 beat them in this previous head-to-head kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqWpiqOrfat4bZI And if you wanna see which is best: the Audi Q7 or Volvo XC90 watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJ3XaJ6apKhlnZY

[@supraJZA80s]

Just some quick feedback - I think it's really smart that you're now showing the specific savings on each car from car wow rather than just stating that if you go to car wow you "could save" on the car. Gives much more of a reason to visit the site

[@Randomguy86204]

For those of us who don't live in the UK it can be annoying to have to go through about 1~2 minutes of him talking about how much we can save though..

[@Molagmal]

When it comes to these cars you just have to go with what feels best for you. They are soo close on every level. Just go with the one that gives you that special feeling.

[@richx9035]

The BMW X3 is a, brilliantly, well rounded choice. This is reflected well in Mat’s review. This isn’t to say the other vehicles aren’t good because they really are. The BMW’s weak point is pricing, but, if you are prepared to pay, a well optioned X3 is hard to beat in this category. The BMW X3 still conveys a sense of being fun to drive and is enormously practical too.

[@Pienimusta]

Absolutely love look of new Volvos.

[@enricojake3541]

The front looks pretty cool however the back (particularly the taillights) is a mess.

[@Pienimusta]

Its quite a upgrade from 90's and early 2000 atleast =P

I'll take the Volvo If I want an SUV I don't want the sport bit, I want the luxury aspect. The Volvo is the waftiest, best looking and has the nicest interior, definitely my first choice.

[@bamphmx-5548]

Scott Sherman but the infortainment is shit

[@cmchristian870]

it is not shit. it is just not as good as the germans

[@scottsherman7069]

CMChristian Exactly. You would be hard pushed to find any car with a "shit" infotainment now.

[@scottsherman7069]

SamTheCar And? They are tall, heavy vehicles and not sporty at all so why try to make them sporty? You can do as much as physically possible but a car with a high driving position is never going to be a sporty car.

[@neeravmonga2831]

I have a Volvo sedan, very nice car. The issue I have is the interior is noisy, you can hear the engine when you accelerate, very loud and that knocks down the 'luxury' feel of the car. Seats and ride are great, but it's just not at the same level of my Q5 so I can speak about both cars since I own them both.

[@mrslibertas3977]

I’ve owned the 2018 xc60 momentum since November and I absolutely love it. I was between the Volvo, the Q5 and the Land Rover evoque and it was an easy decision. Drive is smooth, interior is much higher quality and it exterior is lovely. I owned an Audi for 8 years and it had issues basically from the day I drove it off the lot.

[@robertrostant6986]

Yes I agree with u I’ve got a x3 bmw wonderful SUV very reliable solid vehicle no major issues just basic maintenance will last a long time I’ve had 8 bmw in my life very good solid vehicles

[@michaelrobson8742]

I’ve owned the XC60 for 6 months and absolutely love it, true it’s not the most sportiest but that doesn’t bother me, the interior is a beautiful place to be especially if you have the light leather and the 360 camera is superb.

[@kermez9]

If you care about leather and camera check bmw, their parking assistance 360 areal camera is the best I saw and individual leathers are great. But bmw is traditional so if you want futuristic, it's not a good choice.

[@christianvik3400]

The XC 60 is actually more cramped inside between the B-pillars than the XC 40. I dropped it.

[@lisahall4209]

I bought a xc60 and loved it. Had a major accident in it recently and my car saved my life. The paramedic who cared for me said the same thing. My car is toast, but I’m alive!

[@kcjd8659]

@@christianvik3400 the newer XC60s are an odd shape inside. We have a 2012 and there’s a ton of headroom, but we checked out a new one a couple months ago and there wasn’t enough headroom for our 6-year-old in his harness booster seat-his head was like an inch from the ceiling. It was so strange. We’re keeping our 2012. I hope they fix that soon. It was so strange to feel like there wasn’t much more room in the new XC60 than in our little S40.

[@kcjd8659]

@@lisahall4209 that is awesome! I’m so glad you’re okay! My friends hit a deer head-on in their S60 and their 3-year-old in the back seat slept right through it. We currently have an XC60 and a little S40, and planning to add an XC90 in the next couple years. Unless something major changes with their quality, we won’t be buying anything but Volvos, ever.

[@edricengert5609]

I think it all depends on what you are looking for as all three are great cars. We test drove all of them. We chose the X3 because it had the comfort in driving style that my wife prefers but it has the responsiveness and intense road grip that I prefer. A great compromise. It doesn't swing too far to either the over-comfort of over-performance extremes. For road handling, feel, and performance, it's the clear winner but that is not the only criterion for purchase and may not be at the top of the list in everyone's decision-making framework.

[@euromandriver]

BMW X3 is the best in my humble opinion. But the others a freaking awesome as well

[@markm4123]

I know right. but i would definitely own any of them

[@emililorenzo3835]

Euroman Driver you say your choice with rationality and respect for the others cars. I can prefer xc60 or q5, but this is absolutely respectable

[@Clavinovaman]

Car Of The Year is just a nonsense, really. What is important is how a car measures up to *your* prerequisites. The VW Up! and Nissan Leaf have both won the World Car Of The Year award, but it doesn't hold much cache in the real world. Buy the car that best suits your needs rather than being swaying by the opinion of a bunch of grumpy old men who, ultimately, decide the WCOTY winner.

[@swanblake]

Euroman Driver I like that it's still RWD based. I don't like that everything is an option unlike the other two with standard tech

true. other german suv's are disappointing.still, never replacing my s class. dammmmmmm daniel! stop boasting! Edit : The rivals did well too.

[@lisahall4209]

I was looking at the BMW X3 and the Volvo XC60. Bought the Volvo. So glad I did,because I was hit by a drunk driver and my car was told Alex. Me and my sister were brought to a level 1 trauma hospital where my injuries were not life threatening and my sisters were- due to the seatbelt. I’m glad I was in the Volvo and not the beemer as volvos are superior for safety. I watched a video a bmw and a Volvo crash test. No comparison. Volvo driver for life, I’ll take a bit slower and a few little irritants over the polish of the bmw. My car saved my life as well as my sisters.

[@genderlessyoutubefanperson]

You try too hard, just to tell us you are not a China Volvo fanboy. X3 is 1 Audi 2 Volvo 3. all are super safe, and you do not buy one to crash it and find out.

[@philipmacgovern7311]

I test drove all three and finally took delivery of my X3 two days ago. Love it so far. Some small disappointments in things featured in practically every review are options (eg those gas struts in the boot under floor storage must be part of the upgrade storage option, cuz they aren’t in mine)

[@AGZF1983]

did you get the base version or the x line version because the models and the spec depends on where in the world you are.

[@Birdie_]

I like the Carwow dash shake test™

[@emililorenzo3835]

About this type of car, i go with volvo, for the style and exclusivity. Doesn't matter if it's not sporty, luxury and space are what i want from suv, so for me is xc60. Anyway, both x3 and q5 are great cars too, no doubt absolutely

[@otterfll2581]

I was just looking at all three of these cars in the 2020 editions and ended up going with the XC60. I really like the simplistic design and got the premium seat package on the Inscription. I think the interior design on the Volvo is so much cleaner and well designed than the other two. Both the X3 and Q5 look like someone just glued an iPad to the dash for the infotainment center and it just feels clunky to me.

[@robertczwartek4709]

I feel exactly the same. Lol. That's why I have a Volvo now and I love it

I looked at Benz, Audi, and BMW. There’s just something about BMW that stands out. It’s truly a drivers car. Fit and finish are top notch. The new X3 is one of my favorite models. Perfect all around

[@adrianbriggs7028]

Looked at Benz, Audi, BMW for my new car.... BMW quality on all of their cars is 2 or 3 notches above Benz, 2 notches up on the Audi... Jag was plastic.... Volvo... Nah.. that screen.... New BMW Interiors and Exteriors are in a league of their own

[@markrobinson1920]

Matt, an innocent feedback: If you had upgraded stuff in the BMW and Volvo, you should have had it in the Audi, too. Interior colour would also be nice to be matched. In my opinion, because it is a video comparison, everything to the eyes (right?), it is unfair to compare differently upgraded cars. Audi should definitely had the upgraded visual cockpit, and all cars should have had bright interior. It is ok to highlight that things disappointingly do not come as standard, but if you show one in one car, show the competition in a competitive package, too. Cheers

[@timo3529]

Great car but im not certain about maintinance cost and long term reliability because The Xc 60 isnt old enough yet to develop too many problems.

[@Splashmaster97]

@@timo3529 that's a fair point, we have the certified warranty for the next 6 years, we'll find out what goes wrong in that time hopefully (covered)

[@piotrparadowski310]

Few things missed in this test (unintentionally, I hope). In Germany, X3/Q5 models with 252 hp petrol engine and similar equipment are sold for: BMW: 70 570,00 EUR Leasing 36 m. - monthly 687 EUR AUDI : 67 920,00 EUR Leasing 36 m. - monthly 550 EUR BMW has head display as standard in this version, AUDI has not. AUDI has Adaptive Air Suspension which is not available in BMW. What can you do in BMW if you need to rise your car? AUDI is equipped in Matrix LED which obviously overtakes BMW Adaptive LED. It wasn’t mentioned in Carwow test. Why? AUDI has ACC in full velocity range, BMW only to 210 km/h. What if you drive more? Except of features mentioned above, both cars are almost identically luxurious, safe and fast. But; AUDI is 2500 EUR cheaper and has better financing options. In leasing one has to pay 137 EUR/month more for BMW. Hmmm… Is BMW really better?

[@tomgray7302]

but would suggest getting the Q5 is the best imo. but would advise getting the SQ5 because that car is incredible

[@alterstassfurter5743]

[@iPat6G]

The safety technology in the Volvo is unmatched by the other 2 though. Why wasn't that taken into consideration?

[@terrybennett5687]

Which is why Volvo should be the choice of the three. I have a BMW X3. And it only has a fraction of the safety features of Volvo. Because of Volvos safety, the insurance is considerably cheaper. I also have a V90 cross country, same year of the x3. The Volvo insurance is literally half of the BMW.

[@nnr3]

I may be in the minority here, but NOT having the virtual(digital) cockpit in the Q5 is a big plus for me. Those classic Audi analog dials are very very classy.

I have the BMW X1, It is just fantastic!

[@Rosendnd]

me to, what's the point getting bigger SUV with same boot space - xc60 have 500ltr same as X1, X1 much better on handling then big SUV which mean much more fan. I've done stage 1 with my 2.0i 192 - 250BHP and around 6.5sec - done 5 trips through Europe this year - twice on ski with all equipment and average of 7.9ltr/100km with 235km top speed. I was thinking to get Q5 before X1 - but q5 inside quality terrible, suspension uncomfortable - BMW X1 have great standard suspension with great compromise between comfort and handling, plus quality inside far better then Q5. Yes Xc60 and X3 quality inside very good but can't see point if I can achieve same points with smaller SUV and enjoying driving car that's feel like normal hatchback.

[@Justyburger]

Great review. It is a very tough decision. For me, it's between the Volvo and the BMW. I like the Volvo interior colour scheme and simplicity, but not 100% sure about the display screen position of the Volvo? I prefer the position of the BMW navigation screen. I also really like the Volvo exterior design. It's an extremely close match. I came in, biased towards an X3 because i love BMW, but now i am undecided. I would have to sit in them and drive them myself to make the final decision. Reliability and fuel efficiency would also factor in, as well as maintanence costs. If pushed on the spot, i think i still have to go BMW.

[@palazie5274]

Do you know that the volvo gives you the option to have the navigation in the gauge cluster aswell? u can have your navigation on the display screen OR between the gauges. That doesn't not the other ones have, and they cost way more than the volvo...

I want combination - looks of Volvo (interior with open pore woood and white seats), ride comfort and features (digital gauges) of Audi and fun factor of BMW.

[@WilliamSudding]

I think you were a bit unfair on the Volvo as the sport mode in geartronic auto is more responsive, there is an option for boot seat release and the handling is better without the air suspension option. Safety features and standard options are astonishing against both BMW and Audi where 80% is an optional extra.

The fact that Volvo is in the same test with Audi and BMW is already an achievement for a Swedish brand.

[@Showmetheevidence-]

The fact it’s super close means you can’t really go wrong with any of them. My problem with the BMW... it’s boring!

[@greaser3069]

Ok let me sum up my experiences. Audi: best at daily use for a humble driver. Its super easy to pilot, everything works and its really refined. Super light steering and floaty soft ride. Smooth and not slow engine with a really quick transmission with great chemistry with the engine. BMW: sporty option of the 3, its fun to drive but its not the smooth silent q5. Not much to say, its a BMW so everything is thought through. Everything is for the driver and everything makes sense. Volvo: if you are tired of going german and want to try something new but cheaper made go for volvo. Its good but its not on par with the germans. When I owned it for a week, the door rattled whenever I closed it and it drove me fucking crazy.

[@pW-kb8xs]

I drove Audi. Two times the automatic transmission had to be replaced, it leaks oil (there you stand, bent over the enignie to fill oil....wow), steeringhouse replaced, rear axes two times replaced. And that while you are paing the max. Those experiences with two Audis. No more Audi for me.

[@danielkell5617]

GLC is easily the best mid-size luxury SUV.

[@ryankov]

Volvo wins by miles

[@v1ncentvega]

He literally just talked about how the XC60 has the worst interior quality, the worst handling, the worst ride quality, the slowest transmission and comes with the weakest engines of the three, so I ask you: how?

[@ryankov]

LilaEnderman worst ride quality? Show me where he said that? And imo the interior looks much better, as well as the overall design of the car. I like the infotainment system of the volvo much more. I don’t really give a fuck if the handling and the transmission are crazy sharp, because after all, this is a fucking SUV not a sports car.

[@v1ncentvega]

Yankov At 11:13 he talks about the suspension and the ride quality. Everything else you said is just your opinion. And the fact that you prefer a better looking infotainment system (tho BMW's is more practical and easier to use) over superior transmission and handling is another story. And about being sporty.. what do you think the 'S' in 'SUV' stands for

[@ryankov]

So where exactly he said it has the worst ride quality? Also, he explicitly mentioned a couple of times that there is a "SLIGHT" difference between the cars in terms of their handling. I don't think you will feel the difference at all, unless you push it too much around corners, which i doubt you will ever do. And even though "S" stands for Sport, none of them is even close to being sporty. Adding the much better looking interior and exterior, having more room in the rear seats, being safer and cheaper than the competitors, it wins in my opinion.

[@cnxexpat1862]

Right, maybe the ride quality is a bit better at the BMW if you always drive curves very fast, but the couple of thousand euro/pounds lower price is a big plus for the Volvo.

[@oliverjre]

Luxury car? Main thing I want to know is noise levels

Just bought a new XC60 T6 Inscription because of this review (and a few others).

I don't even know why you compare these cars. Just get the Volvo! I got a 2018 V90 AWD and it's by far the best car I've driven.

....and the XC60 won the Car of The Year

Have the xc60 and honestly can't fault it.Very easy to live with.

New Volvos look great, but I also very much like the old square Volvos. 740 was a beautiful design.

❤️ the x3

I love my XC60, and it’s 10 years old. We’re planning to replace my husband’s S40 with an XC90 in the next couple years, and then hand the S40 down to our son. If you take care of them, Volvos will just keep going, and look and drive great doing it, even with a lot of miles. The S40 has 136,000 miles and my XC60 has 125k miles and they both handle like new and still look sharp. My husband loves the new body style but I’ll happily drive my 2012 XC60 into the ground. Volvos are a sound investment that feels like a splurge.
