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💙
The Q7 4m is the best car I ever had. Extreme Quiet inside. Powerful and has a low consumption. Almost complete aluminum chassis. All wheel steering. High quality leather an interior. More room than the others. Actually best bang for the bug. BTW same chassis and System like the Bentley Bentayaga.
Drove a Q7 for 15 years. Perfect comfortable car in every way except the horrendous fuel consumption (4.2L petrol). I now have the GLE. Good fuel consumption , no where near as comfortable as the Q7 and bouncy on rough roads . Its a beauty to behold though
If you listen well when he introduced the card he said bmw x7 but the he reviewed the x5 However, i think he used both in the review because the area he reviewing are almost the same and both amazing.
I bought the Q7and never regretted it 50k miles later. Why because it has a much bigger boot than the X5 and you can move the second row forward also. Far more a family car and superb to drive also.
finally someone who compares comfort which is the most important for ppl buying suvs. nobody cares about how sporty it is. comfort and safety and noise is the most important!
I have one for me I need three aspects; comfort because let’s be honest these will hardly be taken off road, AWD for snow conditions and ability to haul stuff
@@jovancalic4913 no, as SAV x6 owner and as someone who has a lot of people with X5s (3 friends) I have to say: you are wrong, they bought them because they actually love driving machines and they have families, they getting up to 200, 250km/h easy, whenever they can and alone in car, they dominate on road while you driving your Q7 wagon silently at the back. So, point being, BMW x5 not very far away from standard 5 series as many of you like to think, But X6 is even closer, pure joy, if you have 2 kids and wife it is the right option definitely (if you active driver of course)
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. It has 4 wheel steering which I read may contribute to tyre wear. Seems odd but my Range Rover at 25,000 miles has hardly worn the tyres. Less than 50%.
@@ARCTCFOXMAN i have the s line q7, (i think best engine 3.0 275hp, smoothest and the least noisy...) but this gent said gearbox was not snippy... he drove it in std modes, put it in sport mode it comes alive... tyre wear is an issue though, it has great acceleration :)
@@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. I think the Merc dashes are really nice and I like the tailgate on the BMW.
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.
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.
that's all fine and well, but the Q7 is the most dull, drab and boring looking suv in the segment, looks like a fat bloated jacked up station wagon/ minivan!!
For me the Touareg is the best car, maybe a bit cheaper material, but inside and outside a nice styl, a very big screen and with the 4.0 tdi its very nice driving.
@@NickLiang Yeah also on the used market you can get them very fairly priced completely specced to the brim, rather have a massage while driving than 4 rings on the front.
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.
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.
@@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.
RighteousMeek BOTH cayenne and Touareg have narrow seats and can not be compared to Mercedes or BMW in terms of luxury. Especially BMW has a straight engine rear driving and would outperform the competitors thinking of smoothness and power.. I prefer Rolls and this is my car that is not in the list as well
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
@@elvismegabrain752 No, but he did and I believe he is right in his verdict. For me Gle design is beyond those 3 cars...actually I am dissapointed cause I expect from Mercedes always to be on the top and this is not he case with Gle
I knew which one was going to win, all of them are great, But BMW is going insanely brutal in these years and I suspect it is going to be the same for the full Size BMW X7 in comparison with the rivals! I think I am the only person who is absolutely in love with BMW's new grill, because is has the Most presence of the them all.
Me too, it’s just so much better to drive and look at than all those other cars. I drive an X5 and it’s really not all that hard to figure out why it was his favorite (since the BMW makes everything bland in comparison, much like the VW to the Audi comparison in the video. 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!
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. My X5 can take corners better than most sedans.
@@richardhaynes6781 what Matt is complaining about Is that a luxury car brand like Mercedes shouldn't put cheap materials in it Merc fanboys could easily overlook that
Sold my 8yo Q7 last October and bought a near-new Touareg. Had that for 8 months and now sold that for a 4yo SQ7. The Touareg is nowhere near only 10% down on the Q7 for noise, comfort etc. Not even close. More like 40%!!. My 8yo Q7 (with 97,000kms) was quieter, more comfortable, tighter with less rattles than the almost new Touareg. To say the Touareg was a disappointment is an understatement. Probably should have known better. The 4yo SQ7 I traded the Touareg for has only 25,000kms on it and is a monster! Love it!! Also for old school dudes like me, it is the last of the analogue dash (S)Q7s (which I love) it has a CD player (which I love), and it has a stonking great diesel engine (which I also love). Long live the Audi Q7/SQ7! PS: All three cars mentioned were air-suspension equipped.
I’m taking the Merc because in America it’s all about road presence and the GLE has that in abundance. Not to mention the interior looks like a space ship and the LED interior lighting is second to none.
Volk = People Wagen=Car It was one of the first afordable Car for the low/middle Clas People that is why it has this Name. Jetzt wissen sie Bescheid um was es geht.Hoffentlich hat euch die Erklärung gefallen,wenn nicht dann ist es mir egal.Tschüß
Hard decision but for the money I would take the Touareg because the new Display in the Interior is just mind blowing but I think if the prince doesnt matter I would take the BMW X5 just for the quality.
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.
I have an Audi Q7 3.0T and test drove the bmw and 4 cylinder Benz. I never thought I’d land on the Audi but the Benz seemed chintzy and cheap and the 4Cyl T was a dog in that car. X5 was awesome but I’m so happy with the Q7-interior is the best place to be of the 3 and the 3rd row has come in handy for my kids and their friends.
I just bought a 2017 Q7. I LOVE THE POPUP SCREEN. One thing that I didn’t know I would love is that it isn’t a touchscreen. No fingerprints and right at eye level. I love it :)
@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.
Im a Q7 owner and I have a 2012 3.0t which I love but I have a few issues. 1)Now the center console surface has begun to peel. 2) It downshifts too far on highway acceleration making it rev high without moving much. 3) A little cramped for 4 good sized adults on long trips. 4) annoying brake sensor wire connectors at the wheels need contact cleaned annually of dash lights up. 5) When you move the rear view mirror the rain sensing wiper start moving for a sec. 6) At max volume the stereo isn't that loud. 7) No remote tailgate function. No front mounted tailgate close feature or button. 8) The 290ho factory is under powered. Have to go stage 1 or 2 refresh to wake it up.
what about Volvo XC90 ?? It got some refreshing recently. It's a great car overall, great looking both inside and outside, the only bad thing is the engine choices, but even D5 and T5 deliver more than enough power for daily usage.
@Elon Musk the annoying thing is that you're talking about narcisism but your youtube name is from a badass man who created Tesla, Space X, Solar City, the Boring Company and many others, whereas you're just a 15yo dumb fuck who does nothing but commenting videos. So avoid talking about narcisism to me... or anyone
Im not 100 % on your verdict as you seem a bit bias with a sporty drive rather than the object of an SUV which is safety comfort and space , luxury. You also note that there's a facelift of the Q7 and you have not compared the GLE 400 or 450 version or the Mercedes which I think would be the fair comparison
Well while i agree on most points SUV means Sports Utility Vehicle so comparing the Sporty part of it isnt too off. But yes i agree despite its type of vehicle its really about space, safety and comfort rather than the sporty aspect. The Average SUV driver cares more about these parts than being fast around the track.
I thnk the Q7 is supposed to be in the GLS, X7 territory, this would be better with the Q8..also anyone notice how mat's energy between reviewing the BMW and the merc is incredibly dffrent?
This is far from quality. He wanted all family cars to be sporty. He gives wrong messages to people. Somekne might beleuve him and drive fast and get killed for carwow desire of making every family car a sporty car while manufacturers don't do that nor we want that. Family cars are for comfy not sportiness. To be sporty u need suspension that will change the gane, u need the car to be lowered to the ground, u need light weight not family car. Wrong messages could kill someone thinking BMW SUV diesel car with 4 ir 6 cylinders are sporty and end up in a river
BWMIM 9 completely disagree. I’ve actually seen it and test drove it in real life as opposed to you, who is almost certainly judging it by online pictures.
No matter what Audi do ..it will Always play second fiddle to a BMW ..look beneath the skin..then you will see why Audi's are and always have been rubbish !!!
@@mikegill6558 why are bmw incapable of making reliable 4 cylinder engines then? N47, N43, etc etc all shite. And BMW refuse to take responsibility. And mat prefers the mainstream A6, a7, A8 as well all know. And audi do not copy paste interiors from 7 series into 1 series.
I have a 12 Q7 and you put your foot down at highway speeds it shifts too low revs high but doesn't really accelerate much. The supercharged v6 doesn't need such a gear drop

The German car still won.
0:50 !?!?!?!?(・_・;?
First I thought it was actually X7(I was like he must have written the X5 instead of X7 in the title😅😅)....

I noticed
@Zoran Vukomanovic that was the joke you bot
00:15 - Sorry for the confusion with the X7 mention! Mat was filming an X7 on the same day, so clearly he got a bit confused!
Typical for him tbh
That means X5 is so similar to X7? Is that right Mat?
at 0:50 also a clip was shown of the BMW x7
The clip for the x5 introduction was also x7
Let's all just agree that mat just loves bmw more than any car rlse

Agree. But the truth is everyone knows Mercedes Benz is the real deal ⭐️
Whoops, you said X7 at the start not X5!!
Think it was a cheeky joke
It was a grill joke
that was intentional for ppl like u without life

Most stupid thing why fuckinggg x7 lol

This is the comment I was looking for
they also showed X7 0:50-0:51 (:
I'm glad I seen this so I don't have to say
I knew the BMW was going to win as Matt is a BMW fanboy.
I was like "what the hell! You can't compare it with those." Then i came to realize.
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💙
You'd probably be safer, quicker and happier with a Mercedes or BMW
that's all fine and good, but the Q7 is the most boring looking in its segment looks like a jacked up fat wagon/ minivan!!
The Q7 4m is the best car I ever had. Extreme Quiet inside. Powerful and has a low consumption. Almost complete aluminum chassis. All wheel steering. High quality leather an interior. More room than the others. Actually best bang for the bug. BTW same chassis and System like the Bentley Bentayaga.

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. My X5 can take corners better than most sedans.
@@richardhaynes6781 lmao, you're so full of shit mate. Your comments regarding the 5 series only proves this.
@Nicolae Fabian Don't know as it was a hire car I had to have when my merc was being repaired. It was a 520i or something like that.
@@richardhaynes6781 what Matt is complaining about Is that a luxury car brand like Mercedes shouldn't put cheap materials in it Merc fanboys could easily overlook that
I don't think "brand image" should be a factor in reviews. Reviews can change the brand image
The problem is when you drive the same brand as some poor guy with his golf. Then it does matter
Splash or a polo, or a vw up...or a lupo. So yeah
Q7 is the most family friendly in the bunch and that's what i'm looking for, great review
it looks more like a van
And it is the ugliest too
@@vandita3695 shots fired 💀
Great achievement for the Audi seeing as it’s 4 years old now.
Its not un old car its yust feels old
Swedish_test-tube :D It’s 4 years old yes, hopefully next year Audi will update to the newest interior they have on the Q8 and a6 and a7.
Oscar Tegneby yes it will. Facelift is due in autumn and it’ll have the new dual screen interior
@@danI43541
Nasty. I hate touch screen controls. They're extremely distracting to use.
Dennis Xu I hate how they’ve got fingerprints all over them we have an sq7 and the interior is a lot nicer than our a4
I'd struggle choosing between the XC90 and X5.
My problem with the X5 is that it looks like a X3 with peanut allergy
XC 90!!! The practicality is not the best plus I think it's slower.
I would go for XC90.
@@tarirocoffee5026 thought its good
Plus its a pure 7 seater
But i agree with the power unless its a T8 which is hybr8d

Matt, you should also bring in the depreciation of the vehicles
I would love to see a Cayenne instead of the VW. Still a great video!
The vw is nicer but cuz the cayenne is a porshe youd prefer it. How sad
man_like _Dylan - stupid comment
man_like _Dylan well obiously Porsche is better than Porsche so thats why
He could have used an RX-L instead of the Touareg.
@@dylan6471 nicer for you not everyone. Porsche is a better brand anyway. How sad

It‘s called magic😂
Wtf m8, it's an X5
@@alfrredd wtf m8, its an x7😂
@@LewibooitheWaffle wtf, m8 it's an X3
it should have been Porsche Cayene instead of WW Touareg as in my opinion.
Sold my 8yo Q7 last October and bought a near-new Touareg. Had that for 8 months and now sold that for a 4yo SQ7. The Touareg is nowhere near only 10% down on the Q7 for noise, comfort etc. Not even close. More like 40%!!. My 8yo Q7 (with 97,000kms) was quieter, more comfortable, tighter with less rattles than the almost new Touareg. To say the Touareg was a disappointment is an understatement. Probably should have known better. The 4yo SQ7 I traded the Touareg for has only 25,000kms on it and is a monster! Love it!! Also for old school dudes like me, it is the last of the analogue dash (S)Q7s (which I love) it has a CD player (which I love), and it has a stonking great diesel engine (which I also love). Long live the Audi Q7/SQ7! PS: All three cars mentioned were air-suspension equipped.
Hey Matt!!!
I wish you could edit your "X7" instead of "X5" ☹
0:16
:)
There is worse in 0:51 there is an x7 instead of x5 :(
Shows an X5 and calls it an X7, then shows a driving shot of the X7 calling it an X5. That is some sloppy editing Mat.
they all look the same, BMWs :)) also Mercs, Audis and all other cloned cars these days
A real bisexual petrol-head but the x5 and x7 looks exactly the same, gotta relax
Geez, a real...whatever, what's up your arse? you'd think the x5 was designed by you...
Why didnt you show the GLE jumping mode?
That can't be done with the air suspension. The more expensive versions have the electric suspension.
Paul Saunders Also, E-Active Body Control isn’t offered on UK-spec GLE’s anyway.
ShadowLoleris I’m not sure to be honest...
I go with the Touareg,no matter what❤️😁
Finally someone who actually makes a comment 2 years later than the actual video. So I’m not alone 😉.
X5 stands out👍👍 Love this thing
I would pick the vw... budget luxury :)
X5 best SUV it is... please review the X7 and GLS
Showing off the Audi’s trunk.... Matt goes “looks at that boot its huge” as they cut to a clip of the X5 boot. Lol 11:15
I knew he is going for the BMW! You did right ?
yup
It is the best though
Last year , he hv chosen audi , this year it will be bmw , you know what i mean?
Yes I did. You know why? Because its the best you fucking pleb
I couldn't agree more! The X5 is truly an all rounder.
Pick Q7 any time, drove X5 and GLE.
We want a rematch featuring the new Q7 and the cayenne. 🔥🔥🔥
Q7 is lit 😍
Q7 is the most dull, drab and boring looking suv in the segment, looks like a jacked up fat bloated station wagon /minivan !!
I’m taking the Merc because in America it’s all about road presence and the GLE has that in abundance. Not to mention the interior looks like a space ship and the LED interior lighting is second to none.
''Folkswagen'' that is literally what Volkswagen means
No, really LOL!
Dominic Luchtenburg
Yeah, that’s why he .... never mind.
no it means 'people car'. folks is a slang word for parents and wagon means a cart used in the old days for transporting goods
“people’s car”
Volk = People
Wagen=Car
It was one of the first afordable Car for the low/middle Clas People that is why it has this Name.
Jetzt wissen sie Bescheid um was es geht.Hoffentlich hat euch die Erklärung gefallen,wenn nicht dann ist es mir egal.Tschüß
Vw gives a good impression 🔥🔥
I don't like vw I like bmw its better
@@Samzhim also more expensive
Audi Q7 is excellent and safe suv, Fantastic high speed controller.
Hard decision but for the money I would take the Touareg because the new Display in the Interior is just mind blowing but I think if the prince doesnt matter I would take the BMW X5 just for the quality.
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.
I actually think the Touareg with a proper color looks the best
01:35 still waiting for the pop up....
Definitely taking the X5 any day!!
I remember when i got my 2014 S3 and i was so excited about the pop up screen 😂
It does look old now though 😔
gureno19 wait for the new s3 in november😜
@@a23thm77 yeah cant wait!

Touareg and Audi ❤👑
I happen to own this x5. Excellent car overall. Satisfied with my choice.
Glad you like it
How much does it cost? Sorry to ask such an intruding question. Is it easier to lease or purchase hire? It costs too much for me to pay outright
The Q7 looks stunning from the rear
🤣🤣🤣
@@interceptor-ss8kb What are you laughing for?
He doesnt understand that everyone can have their own opinion
@@JanM2 Exactly

Audi Q7 still the best for space price and comfort. Really want an SQ7!

100% agree, I love this bmw !
Even when its in the shop for maintenance?
@@krane15 you re confusing it with a range rover
I have an Audi Q7 3.0T and test drove the bmw and 4 cylinder Benz. I never thought I’d land on the Audi but the Benz seemed chintzy and cheap and the 4Cyl T was a dog in that car. X5 was awesome but I’m so happy with the Q7-interior is the best place to be of the 3 and the 3rd row has come in handy for my kids and their friends.
I thought Audi Pop up screen is cool
I just bought a 2017 Q7. I LOVE THE POPUP SCREEN. One thing that I didn’t know I would love is that it isn’t a touchscreen. No fingerprints and right at eye level. I love it :)
I wish it was bigger. But I love pop up screens. I like things that pop up and stuff in cars lol
I agree! I’ve driven the 2019 x5
Lucky
For some reason I actually prefer the driving experience rather than comfort, who cares about the people in the back anyway 😜
@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.
@@kjusn There's also a lot of big sporty car
@Chris Regan
Haha swearing bad. Kid swears, adults: "don't use adult language". Adult swears, Chris: "grow up" lmaoooo
Im a Q7 owner and I have a 2012 3.0t which I love but I have a few issues.
1)Now the center console surface has begun to peel. 2) It downshifts too far on highway acceleration making it rev high without moving much.
3) A little cramped for 4 good sized adults on long trips.
4) annoying brake sensor wire connectors at the wheels need contact cleaned annually of dash lights up.
5) When you move the rear view mirror the rain sensing wiper start moving for a sec.
6) At max volume the stereo isn't that loud.
7) No remote tailgate function. No front mounted tailgate close feature or button.
8) The 290ho factory is under powered. Have to go stage 1 or 2 refresh to wake it up.
Oh and the paint scratches very easily
And the blue color is too close to black
I love the fold away screen option in the Audi. Too many screens around us, nice to have one less.
what about Volvo XC90 ?? It got some refreshing recently. It's a great car overall, great looking both inside and outside, the only bad thing is the engine choices, but even D5 and T5 deliver more than enough power for daily usage.
best car channel right now ! 👌 keep with nice job guys
Yeah it's like a third of the tenth of a percent of Doug de Muro's level. But yeah best car channel
@Elon Musk [from a guy who called himself Elon Musk]
@Elon Musk the annoying thing is that you're talking about narcisism but your youtube name is from a badass man who created Tesla, Space X, Solar City, the Boring Company and many others, whereas you're just a 15yo dumb fuck who does nothing but commenting videos. So avoid talking about narcisism to me... or anyone
Good Comparison. For Me it’s the Q7 or GLE . both Seem great! had 2005 Touareg which is an excellent choice.
Im not 100 % on your verdict as you seem a bit bias with a sporty drive rather than the object of an SUV which is safety comfort and space , luxury. You also note that there's a facelift of the Q7 and you have not compared the GLE 400 or 450 version or the Mercedes which I think would be the fair comparison
Well while i agree on most points SUV means Sports Utility Vehicle so comparing the Sporty part of it isnt too off. But yes i agree despite its type of vehicle its really about space, safety and comfort rather than the sporty aspect. The Average SUV driver cares more about these parts than being fast around the track.
ryu fuku he compared all entry level engines
GLE and X5 way ahead of "competition". XC 90 would be better match than VW.
I thnk the Q7 is supposed to be in the GLS, X7 territory, this would be better with the Q8..also anyone notice how mat's energy between reviewing the BMW and the merc is incredibly dffrent?
Hahahahha true he’s a bmw fan boy
I agree. I have an X5 and we absolutely love it 😉👍
For me mercedes and audi
Please do a review on the new X5 45e iPerformance M Sports thanks, Matt.
I think Q7 should win that because he's well better than the others my in opinion
And your arguments for that? Im just curious, no front
At 11:11, you said the AUDI Q7's boot was huge, then you go and show the BMW X5's boot a second after! Be careful next time :)
Gle for me, the nicest interior but needs to be the GLE 400D
What about the 350de hybrid? 100km electric is nice.
Carwow outdo themselves with quality reviews like this. This is why I subscribed and will stay subscribed. Thanks for boosting my knowledge in cars 🤙
This is far from quality. He wanted all family cars to be sporty. He gives wrong messages to people. Somekne might beleuve him and drive fast and get killed for carwow desire of making every family car a sporty car while manufacturers don't do that nor we want that. Family cars are for comfy not sportiness. To be sporty u need suspension that will change the gane, u need the car to be lowered to the ground, u need light weight not family car. Wrong messages could kill someone thinking BMW SUV diesel car with 4 ir 6 cylinders are sporty and end up in a river

I agree with your choice BMW looks and feel great !
11:30 even my vw passat 2013 has that :)
I have owned a S Line Q7 for two years and it is amazing, gonna get another when the new model arrives.
Flame Gravity the facelift one is rubbish
BWMIM 9 it’s really not. I’m switching Over from my X5 to the 2020 Q7, the new interior is stunning with the three screens.
Dylan F exterior is mehhhh
BWMIM 9 completely disagree. I’ve actually seen it and test drove it in real life as opposed to you, who is almost certainly judging it by online pictures.
Dylan F chillax, all he did was express his opinion. I’m certain he didn’t intend to offend your sensible bitch ass.
Just watching those 5 beasts in one video is awesome.
Mat they have revealed the new Q7 facelift. The interior is way better than the X5 now.
No matter what Audi do ..it will Always play second fiddle to a BMW ..look beneath the skin..then you will see why Audi's are and always have been rubbish !!!
@@mikegill6558 why are bmw incapable of making reliable 4 cylinder engines then? N47, N43, etc etc all shite. And BMW refuse to take responsibility. And mat prefers the mainstream A6, a7, A8 as well all know. And audi do not copy paste interiors from 7 series into 1 series.
I am in love with the BMW X5 too much.
In my opinion the BMW X5 looks the best inside and out. (Just my opinion)
Who else agrees??
TechAC More of a Mercedes fan myself, but I respect your opinion.
I would probably go with a GLE500e. Strong, Luxurious and being a hybrid brings quiet driving when needed, along with better economy.
Lol u prolly own it if ur chosing it
I feel like Matt is biased when it comes to BMW... He always shows a lot of favor to it....
Sirbenz m no he’s not
The Brits favour BMW, i find.
Gle looks pretty solid 😍
I have a 12 Q7 and you put your foot down at highway speeds it shifts too low revs high but doesn't really accelerate much.
The supercharged v6 doesn't need such a gear drop
