[@Cloxxki]

First high car I drove was my dad's 1980s Renault Espace. I like looking over other cars. But with so many SUVs on the road, I doubt that's still a thing. Looking over the guardrail helps against car sickness, though. My peeve with SUVs is that they are cramped inside. Rarely match the boot space of a wagon, and if so, only due to greater height, not boot length. And why does a 10-20 cm taller car add SO MUCH weight over a liftback or small wagon?

[@你是國王]

Crv, Tiguan, rav 4, sportage and Tucson p- new versions, are bigger and more spacious than a A4/6 avant, v60 and other equivalents for example yet they’re lighter and have a more commanding view of the road and are similar prices par top spec t8 and rs versions. Plus many wagons are German and they are built well but are expensive to maintain and unreliable compared to suvs from Mazda, Honda, Toyota, Kia and also Hyundai. But if you compare the German suvs to their estates you have more value in an suv comparatively and I think people like the raised height of the suv as you feel safer and more commanding (in a sense of sitting higher). The downside I would say is that mpg of an suv is worse due to its size but I get there appeal over estates. Fast estates are cool but expensive, where as normal estates look bland and a little ‘old manny’.

[@Kwippy]

I respect MPV's and other practical family cars but I ain't got time for SUV's , especially very high end ones.

[@TBendez]

A hundred? Most german estates in the 5-/E-/A6 category push over two tonnes now.

[@iSOBigD]

The thing about safety is... How many of these SUVs have better crash results than safe sedans, and how many don't flip over very easily compared to sedans? In the "moose test" they're basically all garbage except for some newer EVs. I think the feeling of safety isn't really based in reality.

[@Cloxxki]

@@你是國王 Interesting points! What I really want is a modern Mercedes R-Class. Imagine it not built in the US, with a modern PHEV (mostly for noise, I know tehy don't really save the planet or wallet) and slightly more butch looks. Some pimped R's look pretty dope. No need for fake off-road capabilities. Supposed the R drives really well, just thirsty. R's are not known for reliability (Made in USA) sadly, else I'd be even more tempted to get the latest one I can find and have it pimped a bit. Chrome delete, grill, that sort of thing.

[@davekennedy6315]

I absolutely @#$%in DETEST SUVs! Whenever I see these cars reviewed I just always think how much better the car would be as a normal saloon/coupe/estate. They often have really impressive, powerful, torquey engines completely wasted in a big, fat, lardy boxy body with the aerodynamics of a brick wall. I understand the way it used to be. Back then Range Rovers were the only decent choice and they were used by well off farmers that truly needed its off road capabilities yet also needed it to be a semi luxury car for their trips into town/the city or to look acceptable when turning up to a business meeting or chat with your bank manager. Then it changed into a Chelsea tractor for spoilt, pampered wives to drop off spoilt, pampered children to their hugely expensive private schools. I think it became so beloved by women as it finally gave them the chance to physically look down upon male drivers. I think SUV drivers also believe that their cars are invulnerable to crash damage (in certain cases true) yet conversely they are also far, far more likely to roll. Nowadays it seems that literally every one has one! They are such a waste of materials in construction, fuel in running and money in parts and labour to fix. They NEVER even get even the faintest whiff of offroad action. The government should just increase the tax on all of these bloody awful SUVs to £50,000 a year and kill then all off once and for all!

He’s the best journalist out there!

[@Thecrazyvaclav]

Doesn’t look special enough, either inside or out to be an Aston. I’m not an suv fan either, all look the same and tend to be for people who don’t like cars or driving

[@phildavies7666]

Neither am I but have to admit it looks better in the flesh

[@2moke2creen]

Aston is really struggling in their design department lately. Not one drop-dead gorgeous car in their new line-up. Ferrari are going to be eating whatever little lunch they had because of this.

I've just got an x3 m40i , hate suvs, but wow! Feels like a sports car. Planted, rapid and excellent visibility.... all because = bad back

[@vvevvevvvv]

You coud have get m340 with xdrive. All the same, even lighter, more aerodynamic, more planted on the road.

I'll take this over Cayenne GT, Urus Performante and Bentley B... And it'll definitely walk away from them ☺️

from cayenne gt, I doubt it...

Awesome. That's what it looks like awesome.

[@terapieadhoc]

Doesn’t Chris have a G Wagon 🤔☺️

[@bors2908]

Well, G-Wagen was intended to be an offroader, not an SUV. The fact that most of them are sold to glamorous Russian gangsta wannabees to be cruised around the city is a side effect.

I'm really curious to see what he will say when behind the wheel of the purosangue!! Waiting for it

[@gkvogt]

Way to review a vehicle that only a handful of people will be able to buy.

[@ernestomorales2487]

Good to see you Chris !

[@MRAMVUK]

More more more of this please. Amazing

[@seezyc158]

One antidote for you Chris - Porsche Macan, S/GTS. Feels like a straight up sports car with little roll around corners, not too heavy and actual grunt from the exhausts. The only SUV that strikes that sweet spot…

[@665Thunder]

I guess a Stelvio Quadrifoglio with 150kg less than a Macan will also do ;)

[@michaeleverson3801]

Good thing they upgraded the brakes on this one. I recall Callum Ilott running VIPs around the Miami F1 circuit in a more 'normal' DBX and having to back off quite a bit during the latter half of the lap, as the brakes were getting too hot and giving up.

[@Revilo403]

good ol bit of harris... dont stop until you cant do it anymore - please. these small vids are far better than anything topgear or grandtour can give us...

[@jrproductions7713]

Bet you have adenoids or drive a marina 🤣

[@budja1501]

would love to see a four door shooting brake like the taycan or panamera from aston.

[@petermascall1158]

Am I right by saying if you move a couple of those bushes and trees in the background, you can almost see where that was made from llandow circuit.

[@future2future]

Chris is the best car reviewer in my opinion since he's honest. And has the passion. Now about the Aston: Interior so dated. What about those gear buttons on top of the dash? There should be a more elegant solution for that right? I feel Astons' interior design really holds them back, especially since everyone agrees the exteriors are amazing

[@tracer073]

Yea I don’t know why they have so shitty interior eeapecially since they already partnered with Mercedes, they need to work on interior together then Aston problems would be fixed.

[@ronse678]

Driving a car is about joy and what it does when you drive it, that Aston delivers power precision and beauty. I am not sure what the fuss is about? It is obviously different than driving a low to the ground pure sport car, but both are enjoyable in different ways. Believe me, it is a pleasure to drive the Aston 707 both experiences are fun and pure, just different in some ways.

[@ianw5812]

I live in Cheshire and very soon, everyone around here will be driving one!

[@sbodi4d]

Love your videos Chris, but you have a watch ad in the middle and you're not wearing a watch??? How am I supposed to know what watch to wear whilst driving the Aston Martin DBX 707?

[@Tom_Selleck308]

Performance SUV's are fun.... Those who don't get it, just haven't spent good time in one. My 500 bhp Bmw X6 is a blast.... I also daily a M3 and a 7

[@Skiddins]

Looks wise I think I'm the other way around; I like the rear of the Astons but hate their recent oversized grills.

[@CITRUS--]

Bloody hell, the way it gets up on three legs at 5:49

[@ENGBriseB]

In 2023 Aston Martin hopefully will be bringing out the V12 DBX. Because of its excellent chassis and with Akrapovic exhaust system. Will be the last hurrah for the V12s of Aston, and i can't wait.
