I used to work in the car industry for 8 years (Lexus, jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo) the safest cars to drive are Volvo and Lexus hands down! I drive a Lexus right now and it’s safe and not super expensive on repairs
Finance manager from suburb of Detroit here. Range Rovers are terrible in the used car market because of how frequent and expensive their repairs are. They’re beautiful cars but they have a terrible reputation. If you care about car that holds value, go GMC Yukon Denali / Denali Ultimate for the luxurious feel.
My Dad was a Volvo Mechanic, he really loved those cars. Volvo always had a certain feel to it, that bulkiness you mentioned. But, definitely, quality and Safety are top priorities for them. I would love to be in the position to finally buy a new SUV. My car is sooo tiny. I can’t wait to see what you pick!
My family has always had Volvos and LOVED them and drove them until they couldn’t anymore. They’re super safe and sturdy (at least the ones I grew up driving!) but go with what you feel!
I actually just purchased my first luxury suv which I think you’d love. It’s a BMW X5 45E (a mid-sized plug-in hybrid). You could also consider the BMW X5 50E. I got mine with the white leather interior. It’s so practical and also beautiful. My husband mainly chose this car-he’s a car guy. I was looking at range rovers but he guided me away since they’re unreliable. The drive train on this BMW is tried and true. Also, BMW has been rated as one of the safest brands to drive in recent years. Hope this helps!
Here to second this!! I have a BMW X5 plugin and I am Obsessed. It’s so safe and reliable and you can get up to 45 miles on the electric alone which is great for save gas money esp when you drive an SUV. BMWs are so well made and they don’t break down ever!!!
Jess I love you love the luxury cars but honestly being a mom I looooovvveeee the Ford expedition (that’s what I have) but you can get the all out luxury ones! Also look into the gmc suvs they’re honestly so lux and so much better than Range Rover, Mercedes, etc!
I come from North Dakota so our weather all year round is BRUTAL! And you need reliability to get anywhere here!! I would 1000% recommend a Toyota! Either a Highlander, Rav, or Camry!!
I recently switched up my cars and got a VW Atlas. Prob my fav car I have ever had! It has a nice luxury feel without the price tag of other luxury SUVs. Back seats are also very spacious and comfy!
The Atlas is so nice. I had never thought about getting a Volkswagen before until I got one as a rental esrlier this year. It was so nice on the inside, and for some odd reason, I fell in love with the steering wheel. Anywho, I test drove the Atlas and the Cross Sport, and it was so hard to choose between them. I ended up going with the Cross Sport since I really didn't need three rows when it's just me and my two dogs! I feel the same way as you, and it is my favorite car of all that I have ever owned. I literally can't imagine owning anything else. I honestly can't believe I never looked at them before.
Volvo rated number 1 safest car. I have a black SUV with chocolate brown interior. Sooooo luxurious. The drive is smooth and I am obsessed with my car.
Not vintage 🥴 that’s definitely him being manipulative and trying to be like you need to be getting a new car every other year ew lmao. Love the new bag!
My boyfriend's mother has always driven a Lincoln- she loves them! Whenever I have ridden inside, it feels like a tank. Super sturdy, luxury interiors and features. My boyfriend has actually always driven Range Rovers and has run into the similar, reoccurring repair issues and is thinking a Lincoln will be his next car (also considering Toyota). Might be worth checking out!
i drive a volvo xc90 that we’ve had since i was like 8 years old and i LOVE it. i have to trade it in and get a new car too so i definitely feel you on loving my car haha. i would definitely recommend volvo if you ever are looking in the future!!! they’re SO safe if you look at crash test comparisons too
Range Rover unfortunately has a lot of issues. Maybe it’s time to go outside the box and get a reliable vehicle. I have a Mercedes SUV. For you I would say a Volvo SUV and agree he’s correct
if you plan on having more kiddos I’d take Skye’s old infant car seat as well and see how it fits with two seats! So many SUV’s are so squishy with infant seats & your knees have to touch steering wheel just to fit🙃🙃
If your vehicle doesn’t start well in cold weather, it most likely needs a new battery. I’m a Jeep girl and absolutely love that it can get through pretty much anything.
My father was a used car dealer with 20 + years, do not let a dealer down play the value of your used car. Used cars are very sought after currently in the resale market; you will likely get double your money if you sell privately rather than trading in. It's obviously a bigger hassle but will pay off literally.
My husband and I have had a variety of BMW's for the last 10 years, and they've all been great -- no problems! I'd recommend checking out the X5 and X7. Some of the X7's have the captain seats which I love! I've never had a Volvo, but they give such "old money" vibes which I love -- I just don't love the interior screen display of Volvos, they seem a bit dated. We also had the G550 a few years ago which was our favorite vehicle by far and would highly recommend to anyone, but gas mileage was horrible and not ideal for longer drives😅
I have an Audi and I love it but so many of my friends and family have Volvo and LOVE and swear by them for their safety features and feeling like they can get anywhere in the snow (we are in Buffalo) so you really have to trek!
I am sure you have probably chosen a car by now, but if you haven’t, I would highly recommend looking into a Porsche Cayenne. Used or new, we have a 2009 which is a daily “beater” and it’s still imo one of the nicest cars you can buy. They’re very much the type of car that never goes out of style, a timeless classic. I drive a 2018 BMW X3 M40i daily which I LOVE and both of these cars definitely have the luxury feel with the horse power you said you want to feel safe. I feel ya there! Best of luck, new cars are always fun!
The clip of you talking in the car wearing glasses.. girl, a facial expression you made ALL i saw was Skye!!! I see the resemblance normally but the glasses are 100%💕💕
I’ve heard Volvo is the best of the best for mommy cars! They’re so safe and nice but I’ve also seen Lexus come out with a new bigger model car I can’t remember the name of it tho! I’d say those two brands are perfect!
We just got a 2021 Range Rover and have been loving it. But I feel you on waiting for parts. My other mommy friend has a jaguar and loves it! Back story my first car I was too scared to sell, because I’m just a girl LOL got STOLEN from our apartment and then someone did a uturn into our Mercedes CLA. It’s was such a mess lol And yes I’m still here at this part of the vlog of course!
I had a similar thought about my Florida car being okay in the midwest winters! My car is small so I'm not sure if it is because my car is small or a Florida car for how it is in the winter haha :)
it's SUCH a better bang for your buck and the warranty is amazing! 10 years! or look at Genesis, amazing. you get SOOOOOOOOO much more for your money than other luxury brands... Mercedes and Land Rover have SO many issues and you'll always have trouble with them and parts are insanely expensive.
if you want something bigger... look at the Palisade calligraphy. i love that one. its more classic looking as the new santa fe is super modern and cool this is highest trim and you get essentially S class features from a Mercedes. You should really just try these two cars before paying so much more just for a brand
My Toyota 4 runner has lasted me FOUR YEARS with NO issues. Just goes to show some of the more luxury vehicles are shit and rich people fall for them every time. 😂
I have been an Audi girl for awhile now. I also love the look of Range Rover but they don’t have the best reputation. I have looked at Mercedes also but wasn’t a huge fan of the interior. Audi is the perfect mix of luxury but still sporty. I would definitely recommend the SQ7! It’s an suv with the pick up you were talking about and interior is my favorite🫶🏻
Do you take the cats for a long trip like that. I’m petrified to leave mine with anyone I have 2 cats and 2 dogs, I also feel like who would want to take their time to do that for me and my zoo
Before you said Volvo I was going to say Volvo 90. is a very safe car. How about BMW. I’ve had one for my last 8 cars. There are many other models. ❤️❤️
Volvo is #1 or 2 w Subaru for safety. All cars lose value once u drive it off lot even luxury cars. If u can afford the upkeep great however the resale on Range Rovers is the worst out of luxury cars esp here in US. They are very nice though. Don’t get stuck on name brand things Jess. There are great safe vehicles out there.
You’re so right about cars manufactured in other states! I’m from michigan, and 6 months after moving to Arizona… my car (the plastic/parts of my engine) actually started to melt!!! SOPs in car making are different depending on the region! (Disclaimer: this is not true of all car makes/models)
since when is a four year old car vintage? He was tyring hard with that one. A luxary car should last WAAAAAAY longer thsn four years. I def suggest looking at otther luxuary brands for sure! Skye in the back saying, "Im fine!: shes so grwon up sometimes and its so funny!
girlllllllll stay away from mercedes & range rover!! i’ve had a BMW x5 (its 5 years old now & you would never ever know) and my mom has an x7 and we are obsessed!! we never want to switch out of the bmw lineup- highly recommend bmw or audi for a luxury car
I used to work in the car industry for 8 years (Lexus, jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo) the safest cars to drive are Volvo and Lexus hands down! I drive a Lexus right now and it’s safe and not super expensive on repairs
Yeah I agree, she should look into the GX460. Big family car and luxury
Omg! I can’t stop laughing at Skye in the car😂
“Wear are your glasses?”
Skye: “I’m fine! Ugh I just can’t mommy”
I just love her🥺😂

yes range rovers are for the aesthetic but the behind the scenes is not it. super unreliable

I have a Mercedes GLA 250 and it has been seriously amazing. So roomy, so comfortable, so safe and has given me ZERO issues. 100% recommend!
Also does really well in the winter! the only con is that it goes through tires more quickly but I think it’s because they are heavier
Skye dancing at the farmers market kills me everytime!!!
My boyfriend's mother has always driven a Lincoln- she loves them! Whenever I have ridden inside, it feels like a tank. Super sturdy, luxury interiors and features.

Just bought the Jeep Grand Cherokee and obsessed. Look into the wagoneer I feel you would like that. Love your geniuine talks with us ❤
Range Rover unfortunately has a lot of issues. Maybe it’s time to go outside the box and get a reliable vehicle. I have a Mercedes SUV. For you I would say a Volvo SUV and agree he’s correct
hey jess, i’m not a mommy lol but i just got a new jeep grand cherokee & i have 2 dogs & im obsessed w it. the inside is pretty luxurious & sooo big
The chocolate interior was stunning omg 🤌🏼🤌🏼
if you plan on having more kiddos I’d take Skye’s old infant car seat as well and see how it fits with two seats! So many SUV’s are so squishy with infant seats & your knees have to touch steering wheel just to fit🙃🙃
your vlogs are sooo comforting 🤍🦢

Been looking for a mommy bag as well and eyeing that one!!
it’s a yes from me!!!
I have an Audi and I love it but so many of my friends and family have Volvo and LOVE and swear by them for their safety features and feeling like they can get anywhere in the snow (we are in Buffalo) so you really have to trek!
I have an Audi suv and they are super safe and reliable! I think you’d love those cars
Same here, never had any problems with mine, car seat fits and its so cute!
jess you are so naturally beautiful and skye is just the cutest

A Volvo is the best ever! All my family has them!! We live in Canada and the snow gets pretty nasty up here and it’s super safe in cooler weather.
The clip of you talking in the car wearing glasses.. girl, a facial expression you made ALL i saw was Skye!!! I see the resemblance normally but the glasses are 100%💕💕
I love my Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit!! My favorite car I’ve ever had and it has everything you’re describing in the video ♥️
Volvo XC90 is the safest car on the market! My boss had the hybrid and it was soooo beautiful!
Loved this vlog! I would look at an Acura MDX a-spec, or an Audi! Very reliable cars that are still luxury!
Good morning Jessica happy Thursday morning and I just wanted to say that your vlogs is amazing and you are amazing Supporter and I enjoy your channel
I'm such a huge Rover fan! I couldn't imagine having any other! My license is ROVER! 😀
It's actually 40 minutes in and yes, I'm still here girl ❤
Look into Lexus. Lexus is toyota so extremely reliable and super luxurious. The 2024 GX 550 in green is chefs kiss
Volvo cars are classics too. Their style did not change much which I really like

We love our Cadillac Escalade for our family car!
Excited to see what the rest of the year blesses you with

I’ve heard Volvo is the best of the best for mommy cars! They’re so safe and nice but I’ve also seen Lexus come out with a new bigger model car I can’t remember the name of it tho! I’d say those two brands are perfect!
Look into a Toyota sequoia!! They are incredibly safe, and hold their value!!! My family will only drive Toyotas, we’ve never had any issues!!!
We just got a 2021 Range Rover and have been loving it. But I feel you on waiting for parts. My other mommy friend has a jaguar and loves it!
Back story my first car I was too scared to sell, because I’m just a girl LOL got STOLEN from our apartment and then someone did a uturn into our Mercedes CLA. It’s was such a mess lol
And yes I’m still here at this part of the vlog of course!
Yessss I’m 25 & have found at least 20 gray hairs RIP
Beis created a stadium bag and honestly it’s a great size! I think you’d like it for football season

Jess is so freaking stunning
Always love watching your videos! Been here since you had 18k subscribers and I'm definitely not going anywhere 🤍
🥹😭 I love this thank you
You’re giving Tate McRae vibes in your car chat clip. Loveee that outfit!! Where are the striped pants from? 🥰
I had a similar thought about my Florida car being okay in the midwest winters! My car is small so I'm not sure if it is because my car is small or a Florida car for how it is in the winter haha :)
Lexus is great, Mazdas are also great!
What camera do you use?
I love your videos ✨✨✨ so much love
🥹 thank you so much!!
BMW MX5 beautiful luxury and quick ! Loveee them
My car was a Florida car and I bought it in Michigan and it has had so many problems!
I have an audi q8 it's really beautiful and very practical and safe !!
You should check out the jeep wagoneer!
look at 2024 santa fe its soooo lux it looks like the range especially the interior! look at the caligraphy
i negotiated mine 3.5k under MSRP AWD hybrid caligraphy
it's SUCH a better bang for your buck and the warranty is amazing! 10 years!
or look at Genesis, amazing. you get SOOOOOOOOO much more for your money than other luxury brands... Mercedes and Land Rover have SO many issues and you'll always have trouble with them and parts are insanely expensive.

this is highest trim and you get essentially S class features from a Mercedes. You should really just try these two cars before paying so much more just for a brand
Volkswagon SUV's are stunning!
I know some Mercedes go through tires very fast because of how heavy they are something to look into
Certain cars are just high maintenance, Mercedes is one of them.
Acura SUVs are so sleek and reliable !!
I think calling your car vintage is a dick sales move to make you feel bad and feel like you need a newer one
yep.. ive had the WORST experiences with range rover dealerships. You could not give one to me atp. Id never drive a range
I’ve had 3 and won’t ever buy another one lol wish I listened to my gut the first one I had I’ve been without the car more than with it lol 😢
RIGHT!!!!
I’m in France and this is considered a respectable bag to Paris women where LV, YSL, Gucci, are considered low class 😳 - I have my eye on that bag!!
Was just thinking about your Florida apartment! How did your laser tattoo removal end up going? Did you ever have anymore sessions?!
My Toyota 4 runner has lasted me FOUR YEARS with NO issues. Just goes to show some of the more luxury vehicles are shit and rich people fall for them every time. 😂
Ok I heard a Volvo is the safest car! Have you checked the porche suv?
I just turned 30 and have been noticing more and more grey hairs 😫
You need either go blonder or darker, I think your natural brown with some beautiful balayage ❤
Bmw x5 or x7. bmw won safety awards for years in a row
I have been an Audi girl for awhile now. I also love the look of Range Rover but they don’t have the best reputation. I have looked at Mercedes also but wasn’t a huge fan of the interior.
