The Q7 is FANTASTIC! I’m on my second one & absolutely love everything about it. I barrel rolled my first one over a concrete median (not my fault, as someone slammed into the front passenger side trying to cut me off) & I walked away from that crash🤯 The car was a complete loss/totaled & had massive damage (not quite as bad as Tiger Woods’ accident but close), but not a single interior panel collapsed in on us & my windshield, panoramic sunroof & back windshield didn’t even crack. The side windows broke but all airbags deployed properly & safely. Amazing! Plus, Audi has a lot of higher-end power so once your at 60mph it goes to 110 in half a second, lol😜 It also has the best adjustments for different size people without a bunch of blind spots. I won’t be driving anything else💙

My daughter drives an SQ7 Vorsprung loaded with every option which she got a massive discount on and reckons it's best thing since sliced bread. But eats fuel and tyres.

[@Thehpman100]

@@ARCTCFOXMAN Yeah I have the 2017 SQ7 but without 4 wheel steer. I got a good discount as well, approx 10% or £8K from the dealer. Tbh it's been a very good car. Quick and practical as I can get 40mpg on long trips at 70mph and that's out of a V8! Tyre wear is a small issue, I will probably get 25 to 30K out of my 22's, but as the standard Hankooks only cost me £200 a corner, I don't care. Service plan is £600 for the first one but remember that's after 2 years so very low cost for SUV per year. So overall I can't complain, however the dashboard is looking a bit dated.

Ioannis stavrou having test driven one, the Touareg feels cheap. It really shouldn’t have even been included in this list, especially given its c. 15-20% cheaper than the BM.

[@ioannisstavrou2677]

Nassta K what do you mean it feels cheap? Have you ever drive the new cayenne??? Porche has exactly the same quality parts as VW and I would strongly say as I drove it is very stiff and you feel every single crack of the plastics, especially next to steering wheel. Don’t be manipulated by the name PORCHE. Cayenne is not a Carrera. Anyway even if Cayenne was included a straight engine rear wheel drive BMW X5 looks much nicer all the way. Especially Porche cayenne has the look of 2009 Cayenne in the front and it is very ugly. In the back is ok. That’s my personal opinion anyway.

[@righteousmeek4377]

@@ioannisstavrou2677 In my opinion from working at Porsche and driving a VW and several Touaregs, I tend to prefer the Porsche Cayenne over the Touareg as it feels much more luxurious and expensive (albeit, this makes sense since the new Cayenne starts at £57,195) than the Touareg. With it's new interior design and 6 cylinder engine (340ps to the Touareg's 231ps), once again I'd prefer the Cayenne over the Touareg.

[@ioannisstavrou2677]

RighteousMeek BOTH cayenne and Touareg have narrow seats and can not be compared to Mercedes or BMW in terms of luxury.

It really doesn’t take a rocket scientist. Guaranteed you haven’t driven a BMW, ever. Even an AMG Merc can’t hold a candle to a BMW. Ya, they can make engines that make big power numbers, but so can’t every other manufacturer these days. Jesus, my Volvo XC90 has 400 horsepower and over 470+ lb-ft of torque!

[@JBags1230]

Alex Landon no, he’s a journalist. BMW’s are much better driving cars than all the others. The X5 can be tossed around like a sports coupe when all the others are like driving a massive, gigantic SUV that you’ll rollover if you take a corner too fast.

Great review Matt as usual. Owning a Q7 S-line 273hp with many additions inc 22" wheels. Hopefully these further comments will help people in comparing the models. Mine returns high 30's MPG which I can't complain about, I even get over 40 MPG if I drive sensibly and within the law. Tyre wear others mention I simply don't have, last pair was changed after 24k and was less than £400 for a pair fitted (mines not a four wheel steer). I know that's not cheap, but compare that to the BMW run-flats where you won't buy one for that. These are all not lightweight cars and that takes its toll on the rubber, that’s just physics. Had a disco before the Q7, but it spent more time in the dealer than my drive, but did have a superior lofty driving position (although not sporty at all) Other than the older very dated disco, no other SUV comes close to the Q7 middle row seating arrangement. I have 3 kids and very recently bundled them into all but the Merc, and the Q7 remained the best due to the entirely separate seating system (3 independent reclining and sliding seats). Gearbox is slower than others I've driven, but I've gotten use to it, one particular junction were there is a leap of faith needed, I just slip it into sport and the SUV takes off. Hopefully a useful insight from an owner.

@Chris Regan he's actually right.. if you rather have a heavy-sporty over a comfortable SUV, then you might've chosen the wrong car. Market is full of sporty small cars for that.

I think when it comes to these cars user friendly and comfort is the key. I love mercs but there always abit to complicated Audi’s always feel 2 years behind and somehow bmw always feel just right. BMW X5 ticks all the boxes and does everything well. Everything’s easy to use and just seems to work. Bmw is doing good work lately.

It’s a really good video but I was just wondering why the premium SUVs produced by Volvo and JLR were not included?

[@gs7437]

Because they are not premium suvs..., jlr are semi-refined tractors and ovlov are tree hugging replicas of the premium desirable cars they used to be (V70R or 850R anyone instead of the dog-awful pole-dancer 2?!!!???)

Ive driven the new X5 and took it on an autocross course at a BMW event that I was invited to. It was a phenomenal car! Extremely comfortable and handled its weight extremely well on the course.

[@clairestrubberg562]

I had a 2004 VW Touareg and (besides the electrical issues from the last owner) it felt like it had presence on the road even though it was really subtle. It felt like you were driving a tank, but in the best way possible. Amazing piece of odd VW enginering
