I always enjoy what car reviews, however I am often frustrated by the lack of numbers. How far will this car go on battery power if you buy the hybrid? How long is the car, especially for a big beast like this. It may not mean too much, but what is the boot capacity? And most importantly, you don’t actually mention the price on the video. Apologies if it comes up on the screen, but I am totally blind so wouldn’t be able to hear it. I’m debating whether to buy a big posh SUV like this, or just to buy a Kodiak. I’d save myself a big chunk of change, and how much would I actually gain in terms of boot space from the Guide Dogs and so on.

Why, even with a digital dashboard, are the Speedo markings at 20, 40, 60, 80 etc instead of 10, 30, 50, 70 to align with UK limits? This really infuriates me. Also the car, like so many, is simply too wide for UK roads, parking spaces and garages (I must be one of a few who still uses my garage to park my car in)

yes, interesting isn't it. Germany has a fundamental challenge with software which means they're seriously under-represented in global developments. It's due to a continuing dominance of "engineering", where 20,40,60 sounds more logical to someone who's frankly clueless about usability but doesn't know it. Plus German management think they can manage the software development without ever looking at the product.

Considering the Q7 came out in 2015, and you can pick up a 3 year old one for £35K on AT (and get 7 seats) I’m not sure really what a 70+ grand VW based on a 9-10 year old platform, is targeted at? And like all German brands this obsession with haptic, piano black, fake exhausts and touchscreens is mildly annoying. Not for me I am afraid….good review though, covers the bases for a buyer.

If VWs design brief was to produce a car with zero memorable features, job done I reckon. I can't think of a single reason I would choose this at 70k over competitors like the new Hyundai Santa Fe for example, which even in Ultimate trim manages to come in at 15K less as well as offering three rows of seats and a really interesting design. I don't know what's happened at VW over the past few years as creativity, ergonomics and usability seem to have left the building. If I want a large car with piano black tirm and dodgy software, I am pretty sure I don't have to pay £70k to get one. Great review though as always 😁

This vehicle is just as good as SUVs from Lamborghini, BMW, Porsche or Audi when it comes to platform, engines, handling at high speeds and technology. This is the reason why this vehicle is no longer available at the US.
