Jaguar F-Pace v BMW X3 v Mercedes GLC v Land Rover Discovery Sport - Carbuyer

[@jtrekmadone]

I agree with there reviews actually. I just turned in the land rover discovery sport off a lease and got put in a jaguar f pace. The handling on the road and interior are a notch better. In the winter will be the true test when we get snow, the land rover drove through everything I want to see how the jaguar makes out.

[@martinlang9615]

One of the best "condensed" reviews I have ever seen....oh, with a tiny bit of humour thrown in. Very well done.

[@royalstf]

the most biased review I have seen!

[@AHCy0]

Mercedes may look distinctive on the road but it doesn't amongst other Mercedes. They're all way too similarly looking for my liking, but that's my opinion

[@peterambrose2148]

Same story for bmw. their fronts look exactly the sane

[@doodieberry8788]

Same story for audi. their fronts & back look exactly the same. plain,dull,boring. just different in sizes.

[@AHCy0]

Doodie Berry While this is true, I do think Mercedes is still the best at copying and pasting car designs

[@sweetfreedomGB]

A great and very grown up review, better than anything on tv. Well done both of you.

[@danielroberts8835]

Totally agree with this order, u gotta love the F-Pace

[@tckzcombatcrew5625]

Land Rover is best; Best looking, most customisable, and the best off road. After all, a 4x4's intentions are to be able to be good at off roading, rather than a 'false' off roader. Maybe I'm biased because I have bought into the Land Rover brand multiple times before, but you can look at it like this " next time there is a blizzard/ flood ect outside the supermarket, do you want to look like a div or not?

[@dummy3646]

TCKZ Crew I love SUVs that are real 4X4s, but the kind of people that buy these vehicles are not interested in driving up a mountain or carving through dense forest. While a Land Rover has legendary off road capability, the majority of users won't use it. After all, would you take £40000 with you into the mud?

[@richardbenn5034]

Crap reliability

[@rraj4988]

Hahah! The worst Engine ever

[@mbizozo6271]

The Jag in that trim is UGLY, and that interior looks cheap. The trim you've chosen for the test in the Merc lets it down, the Land Rover is expensive. The X3 is the oldest and yet the interior is the best in terms of material used and how everything fits together. The exterior is dated but I'd still take the X3 over the others.

[@erodigie]

Sthembiso Lebuso thanks mate, I agree too

[@williamunga]

Looks like they were advertising the jagua

[@DonLee1980]

The land rover disco was like the worst reliability of all luxury SUVs. That must count for something when you buy a car...

[@JC-xw7ml]

Don Lee Hi mate, had mine 3 years, not a single problem with it, been superb. Taken it off road a fair bit here in Australia too, sand, deep mud no problem, super comfortable on gravel bumpy dirt tracks also. Infotainment is a bit laggy but the meridian stereo more than makes up for it (better than Burmester in C63s Merc) Just thought I'd put this out there as there is so much negativity on LR vehicles.

[@gusbandicoot]

A good balanced review. I personally think it's GOOD that each car (along with others not reviewed here - XC60, Q5) all have their place and are slightly different to each other. Comfort, sport, off road ability, image, practicality etc.. each one excels at some but not all. My choice is still currently xc60 and the new one should be excellent.

[@kuddin9021]

1) Discovery Sport 2) Merc GLC 3) Jag F Pace 4) Bmw X3

[@animegang705]

K Uddin RIGHT NUMBER 1 SHOULD BE DISCO SPORT

[@aayangoverski3437]

The X3 isn’t really that bad. It has plenty or features and very nice interior quality. The interior design is nice, but now it looks a bit old. But still, respect goes to Land Rover, Mercedes, BMW, and Jaguar

[@Kumdoin]

I totally agree with this review, however, I ended up buying the GLC as F-Pace only offered dismal discount

[@henningvauleberntsen7369]

I thought that the BMW would win! Since he said so many nice things about it! Great review btw!

[@stephenwinship4685]

Great insight guys, appreciated, i get my 18 plate Jaguar F Pace R Sport next week, fair to say your review helped me make up my mind 👏

[@theblueeyes3889]

Jaguar is beautiful, but the Land Rover is the best. Britain wins in my eyes

[@VYM]

Excuse me, what? Brits? You mean Indians? 26 March 2008: Ford agreed to sell the Jaguar and Land Rover operations to Tata Motors. June 2008: Tata Motors finalised their purchase of Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford and put them into their new subsidiary, Jaguar Land Rover.

[@Elijah-cy9do]

@@VYM so it became Indian when bought by Tata from British when owned by Ford? I dont get it, is Ford a British company? BTW, JLR is based and registered in Coventry and Tata even called JLR British in their website. The cars themselves are undeniably British being designed, engineered and made in the UK with little to no interference from Tata as JLR is very independent as a subsidiary, to the point that they didnt want to give opinions about the XF when it came out in 2008, and JLR even stopped reporting monthy sales to Tata shortly after that.

[@antonioaa8101]

Carbuyer please stop promoting british car manufacturers... the jag is not a car to compare with a merc a bmw or a land rover, because with a british point of view especially it humiliates the other cars because of that sporty way of driving and slick and expensive look, and dont get me wrong but with all those expensive options it will have a higher price tag. For instance compare it's petrol power engine version with a porsche macan or a maserati levante, that would have been more interesting, and fare as the jaguar is promoted as a sporty suv. Also, a better video is comparing x3 glc the new q5 the disc sport the evoque or the nx because they are not cars that are all about rapidly fast engines sport driving position and etc but, they show how practical they are, how comfortable and convienient they are for families, how economic they are and even their off-road capabilities. For me this video is pointless because having said that the jag is more expensive, it has the worst interior and it's really ugly from the back. Did the fancy plastics and the stupid standard infortaiment system of the jag made you more excited than the gorgeous glc's interior or the perfect bmw's system? Also, who the hell who ownes a jaguar will go off road, as the land rover is a thousand steps far away in off-roading. You can't avoid that the germans are the best in the business as they nailed the mid size, very good overall suv game, beacause of their great driving experience in town or highway(like the x3), stylish exterior or interior(like the glc) and their practicallity. And for me the true and honest ranking for the video without including the f pace is: 1.GLC 2.X3 3.Discovery Sport. I haven't said that the f pace is not a good car, actually is a great sporty fast suv in my opinion. But with making this video you brought it at another car category which makes it not as shine and special, and the main purpose of the video is getting lost. I can tell that you must take few lessons from Matt Watson at carwow....

[@onepunch9]

The jag F PACE and the DISCO SPORT are the same car, engine all the running gear the floor panel are exactly the same. Its the same story with the jag E PACE and the RANGE ROVER EVOQUE. And are both Indian owned by TATA

[@steeple001]

Great Review and I would say pretty accurate. My wife has the X3 35m diesel at the moment and it's been a fantastic car. Test drove the GLC recently and with the smaller engine it was way to underpowered and felt like a boat. We also looked at the bigger engined F pace and its great a huge amount of fun but as another comment states feels much more "plasticky". We have had a Range Rover sport before and it's unreliability has put us off Land Rover forever. In the end the winner for the new family car was the Porsche Macaan, yes its way more expensive and there is the excessive price tag you pay for Badge but it was absolutely wonderful in just about every respect. One thing which was a pain was all the buttons but other than that it wasn't possible to fault the car and the smile you get when you drive the thing makes the eye watering price tag worth while for us.

[@gilmoskovich7304]

what about Audi / Porsche / Lexus / Infiniti ? Aren't they any good ?

[@MrTrull1]

The video would go on forever if they included every competitor.

[@aysbg]

It would but they included quite old X3 instead of new Q5. X3 is due for replacement in 2017.

[@MrTrull1]

aysbg This is a UK video & James has said elsewhere that the new Q5 isn't available yet in the UK.

[@aysbg]

MrTrull1 Fair point but could have waited to include another proper competitor into comparison. All models, except for X3, are about 1 year old.

[@MrTrull1]

aysbg I don't think the solution is to just not do the video. These cars are just as test worthy as any others & the world does not revolve around Audi. Perhaps they should have just cut out the X3 from the test altogether - imagine the protest. It was included because they still consider it one of the best choices. Basically, they cannot win whatever they do.

[@YourTechGerman]

I actually love the X3 interior design but the Jaguar takes my personal no°1 spot

[@MrEngland92]

Yup, for me interior is vital!! I don't know y so many people don't care about them

[@nabillarif]

Fpace is the worst interior.. Its sooo plasticky...

[@myagony449]

It's not, check other videos of its interior especially the F Pace S it looks better with full leather/wood/alluminum interior material.

[@Gdank72]

I have one and the only cheap plastic are the door bins at low level.

[@shanjanusman9974]

Land Rover Discovery Sport is the best and Merc is last for me

[@Arlind22]

For me GLC, F-Pace, X3 and Discovery Sport. Personally my favorite is still the BMW and it still holds strong even though the car is the oldest from all of them with a big margin.

[@arpitgaur7077]

Jaguar f -pace is the best looking car compared to other cars

[@ayassin1480]

The F pace sucks ass, test drove it last week and to be honest I wasn't impressed one bit. Furthermore, the navigation lags like a MoFo. For the money go for the Benz or BMW.

I agree that the BMW feels a bit dated compared to the other ones, but it drives very well. The DiscoSport is plasticky inside, even in top trim levels and the build quality is just terrible (just go and see any DS forum) The Fpace looks fantastic outside , but inside not so much, I found the 2ltr engine too small, the 3ltr is a much better choice. The MB is good but just too bland. I don't know who the winner should be, but the Disco should be 4th.. the tested version costs 10K more than the others and still is lacklustre in all except offroading (which nobody will ever do).

Jack George All those are too large to be compared to these. The XC90 and Q7 are 7 - seaters, and while the Edge and Cayenne are not, they are big enough to be. The Discovery Sport's third row seating is too small for anyone taller than 5 feet, so the extra seats aren't worth it.

The X3 is the best. Period.

[@alexanderfost7092]

At this price, I would definitely spend 10-15k more and buy the Porsche Macan, it's so much better than any of these cars. It will also hold its value better, so in long term it would cost the same as these four.

[@dummy3646]

Alexander Fost The Macan is smaller than all these. Buying the Macan means that you are leaning more towards the driving experience rather than practicality or family friendliness.
