Performance suv is fine, performance 7-seater suv is just stupid....you pay so much for a big engine which would have been amazing fun in a sedan, and you don’t see any in your suv

It’s very sad that car reviewers aren’t impressed by a 90.000£ performance suv that cruises with 100 mph stable through a corner. This thing is nuts with all its technology. More appreciation for such a vehicle please

Mat about Diesel "sporty" cars: "Meh, a petrol engine would fit the car better!" Also Mat about the petrol SQ7: "Meh, a Diesel does just suit this kind of a seven seater SUV better!"

[@Tomoyo0827]

Buying an SQ7 itself is a show of unintelligence

[@bestman81]

That's axactly what was in my mind. When he reviewed the diesel before he complained of it not fast enother saying petrol would fit it better but now he's saying opposite ??? This did 0-60in 3.8sec that's very impressive faster than SVR range rover sport

Sporty diesel cars and a 7 seater SUV are two different things

18:20 - well said. I have a 2017 SQ7 and it is a phenomenal 7 seat SUV but I wish it would look meaner and more badass. Without looking closely, you won’t know it’s a beast. But SQ7 does have more room than the X5

Matt, you only turned off the traction control. If you keep holding the "traction off" button the ESC will turn off as well. I find in our SQ7 it pulls even harder with the ESC off as well. Great vid bud!

[@stevenfosterlondon4952]

I’m on my 2nd SQ7 Vorsprung I’ve had both the diesel and now the petrol, perfect performance for the school run with 4 kids, great cars the petrol is more fun but the diesel was way more fuel efficient and the new one does have Active Roll Stabilisation and sport differential 👍🏻 I will do a Video review on it soon. Nice to see the 0-60 nobody ever believes me how quick it is.

How did you find the consumption for that? I have a model X currently, so I don't think the speed would blow me away. I'm looking into either the q8 or sq7 but would imagine the sq7 is quite bad consumption for high milage users? I still want some performance as well.

Love it but for me the 50TDI delivers a very similar overall ownership experience for significantly less cash which is why it is where my hard earned ended up. In terms of annoying parts, you should mention the rubbish folding system for the middle row seats, the tiny glovebox and the rear seatbelts that rattle when not fastened. Overall though, what a great package and in my experience a much better steer than the X7. That performance is also incredible for a seven seater.

11:55 - 12:12 the Q7's actual main competitors are the GLE and X5, hence the SQ7 would be competing with the X5 M50i and the GLE 53 AMG, which are priced around the same. The X7 and GLS are remarkably larger than the Q7 and would be competing (if there was one) with an "Q9"

Ya thats the thing despite audi bmw and mercedes have alot of comparable cars, they have alot of none comparable cars, like the r8 for example

Think the diesel was a perfect engine to this car. It's a car for eg owners of mid construction companies, who want to show off a lil bit and at the same time travel a lot. It was strong, preety fast and ... unique in compare to other (from VW ;)) brands (v8 diesel). If you want a performance suv, might always choose RSQ8

But the RSQ8 can't carry 7 people, this can and the petrol is much nicer than diesel.
