When you copy and paste so many times, sometimes you make a mistake. Since all 3 are basically the same car (Porsche, Audi, VW), I guess VW put the wrong price on the wrong copy :)
here in Czech, you can have touareg for about 60K euros, with 3.0 diesel and massive discount from dealer, without taxes, it's basicaly 50k € car, by far the lowest price compare to others in this videos.

@@oaip1878 who cares, more torque , u have to pay more simple as that. Listen man thats not how shit works its about what u get for the money. In the realm of a large 3 row suv people will look at comfort and features and design and audi is far ahead.
You've got a point. I'll give you a great example : I drive an X5 F15 3.0 diesel since ten years, it has an M-package and a few small options. I've bought the car brand new for +- 55 000 EUR. The same car Anno 2024 : 100 000 EUR. Is it worth it? No. I'm located in Belgium btw. Grtz
The prices of new cars in relation to average income have reached a 50-year high…it’s f**ing insane. Even I as a German wouldn’t be willing to spend almost 90.000€ on a basic-configuration German sports SUV
"Entry level sports SUV"? Sorry, but they are neither. Audi sells 3 SUVs below the Q7 (Q2, Q3, Q5) Mercedes also 3 (GLC, GLB, GLA), so do BMW (X5, X3, X1) and VW (Tiguan, T-cross, TRoc). Only Porsche is limited to one below the Cayenne with the new Macan. (which still does not make the Cayenne entry level anything.) Entry Level would be: Q2 vs GLA vs X1 vs T-Roc. The Macan is no entry level car as it's a porsche "tuned" Q5. They are not the sportiest ones in each lineup (except for the Touareg). There's no M or AMG badge, and these both are the Diesel versions anyways. The Cayenne with the V6 isn't the "sporty" version of the Cayenne i would claim. Entry level sport SUV would be: VW T-Roc R 4-motion, Audi SQ2, GLA 45 AMG, X1 M35i ect. In my opinion these aremore to be considered "big comfy SUV's". For the X5, GLE and Q7, that are the mid range engines and for Porsche it will be the enty engine probably while for the Touareg it's the top of the line engine. (but again the Touareg is not entry level and not really a sport SUV) So the comparisson is a little flawed but that were the cars that they got. At least they are all in roughly the same class. Although one could argue that the Q7 sizewise in half a category above the rest in this comparisson. It's way longer than the rest. But when you up a category and put it alongside the X7 and GLS it's way shorter again. (and there's no Porsche or VW equivalent in that biggest european SUV segment)
Meanwhile you can get an asian SUV with mostly better reliability and all necessary features for much less. The direction german carmakers are going is certainly not the right one. Increasing the prices, lowering the quality. Especially german interiors have become very cheap to a point where a 60.000€ Mazda CX-60 has a better interior while costing at least 15.000€ less than the german competition. And the german cars can't even win in the reliability and quality category anymore. Sad!
I also agree, Q7 is the best one here (even against the BMW) since it’s second to best/the best on where it matters most, especially practicality, quality and driving experience. It may look understated compared to the flamboyant Mercedes, but really you only get to see the outside through relflections of shiny objects.
@@pizaleone5705 yeah it was strange he said that, well maybe because he is a sporty type of guy and cares about looks when he is driving a car. 6 years living with a Q7, I still struggle to fault it on what matters TO ME; practicality, built quality, comfort, value for money, looks that fly under the radar, fuel efficiency, oh and that door close thud sound.
These videos are for entertainment, not objective tests... each of these cars are available in different lines, engines, equipment. Its just random cars in random specs testes against each other.
Excellent review this, you were really bang on with all of your observations. I must admit that even through it all the BM was definitely the one for me, just the stance, the look, the alloys it is far and away the best looking. I was really surprised that you went for it as well. Did make me smile.
Best is my pre-facelift 4,0L V8 Touareg TDi from 2020. It is about 200 KG lighter than this hybrid weight monsters and delivers instantly power (310kw, 900 Nm beginning from 1.250 revs) every time I needed. And not only for a little time when the battery is fully loaded. For example : with empty battery the Touareg Hybrid has only 450Nm instead of 700NM with full battery. And both are miles away from my 900Nm.
SQ7 Diesel owner, 3 children, here. Wanted to replace it with a full fat Range Rover Supercharged but didn’t like the ride. (My SQ7 has active roll bars and rear axle steering). So sticked to the Audi. Honestly no idea which car to get next, there is no reasonable alternative which checks all the boxes. Maybe I gotta try an X7 M60i
My dad has the pre facelift X5 (45e with M package like this one) and it is such a great car. Comfortable, even around corners and suspension is good over bumps in my opinion.
From what I've seen. The Q7 is the best one of them all here. In terms of price, practicality, looks and the description of the drive quality. It sounds like the most well rounded car here and would be the ideal SUV to have as a daily. Especially if you have a big family or a lot of kids. Mercedes-Benz & BMW just seem like they offer a more luxurious feel but tick less boxes than that Audi does.
@@oxzak9093 looks better than all the others by far The porsche is atrocious, the mercedes is even worse, the bmw looks like ass and the vw also looks bad even though its not as bad as the others
Thing is, once you drive them, you'll just choose the BMW, because it just wins any driver's heart after you drive them all. They are just too damn nice to drive.
@@Manakuski You're not wrong. BMW has always been ahead of the game with drive quality and performance. However, my point still remains. Based on this review. The Audi seems like the sweet spot of all these vehicles.
The VW costing more than an Audi is the height of it, but this Touareg design is extremely Beautiful, VW could invest in better finishes than the competition, after all the values are extreme
Well it's a hybrid so most of the cost are batteries, honestly VW was more wild in the older times, but dieselgate and eko bla bla bla shit has killed it potential, have you seen the Toureq with V10 5.0 TDI? monster
Unlike the horrible XM and many modern BMWs, I actually find the styling of the X5 quite agreeable in that colour. Never thought I'd say that about a modern BMW. It's the best looking here in my opinion.
Never buy for price list, negotiate discount vw with a lot options like line black pac, websto, amazing matrix leds, soft close, panoramic roof, and many extras only 77k not comparable to all the rest of tested cars
@@usman7207 Not really. They are the same platform, but everything else is different. Build quality, exterior, interior, suspension, engine, infotaiment. It all makes a difference. In general VW in the latest years has dropped the ball on the "mother brand". Now their best budget variant is Skoda and the best luxury is Audi, Porsche is the sportiest and VW just has no place because its quality is of a cheap car, but priced as luxury one.
@@Dinchev666 Suspension in the Touareg an Q7 are exactly the same. The Touareg is no worse than the Q7; in fact its better value in most configurations because you get more equipment as standard and the options are cheaper, only thing the Q7 has on the Touareg is 7 seats. Also quality in the Q7 isn't really better than in the Touareg; and this is coming from someone with an Audi A8.
I owned a Q8 and did a similar evaluation in Q1. The new Q8 is basically the same as the old. Same with the Q7. The Touareg is OK but to expensive for what it is. The Cayenne was also very expensive and not the best car to buy in my line of work. I also wanted a diesel. The GLE and X5 remained. After testing both, the X5 turned out to be the best luxury SUV on the market (for my budget at least).
I would honestly take the Porsche overall for the sole reason that it has physical buttons for the AC. Is this so much to ask from these care brands, god damn it!?
Personal opinion I really like the gear shifter on the touareg. I think it's very nice to rest the hand on it. Not a fan of the new trend with buttons or little nipples to change gears
I used to be a benz tech and the newer GLE is an amazing car to drive. Iv taken them on multiple hour trips to short grocery trips and there's nothing like how comfy and quite it can be on the road. Here in Arizona the roads are either garbage or ok. And these cars make it feel smooth as hell
Why didn't you test these expensive shopping trolleys for how much shopping you can fit in after you drop the kids off at school? That is their intended purpose afterall.
And once a long time ago, they used to take these things off road. Would have been interesting if they found out if they still maintained those abilities...
In our current climate where food prices are through the roof, first time buyers can’t get on the property ladder, landlords are putting rent close to minimum wage, and cost of fuel is giving billions in profit to fuel companies. Who on earth can afford 90K for a base level VW
I have a golf mark 7 estate 2020 probably worth about 15k and to be honest I think parts of the interior are superior to this 90k Tourareg. It has proper buttons on the wheel for a start! VW quality went down with the mark 8 golf which is bad enough but to have cost cutting on a 90k Tourareg is going too far. Overall it's a better interior but not by enough. Needs to be leagues above a golf to justify that price. The previous generation X5 interior lovely. Luxurious and all the buttons easy to use. Why put everything on the screen. That's a step backwards for BMW which aced usability for so long.
@carwow did you know that in China the Porsche Cayenne E-hybrid uses a 4 cylinder 2.0T engine? It's the VW engine AE888 combined with electric motors with a total of 392hp
The door open and close test is awesome. I know immediately if I like a car or not based solely on whether the doors feel like they’ve been built well or not.
@@velidhadzic3011 nope, not really , anywhere in North America it will be down to about 70 percent of its price . You can check out the current deals on autotrader, craigslist etc for Western Canada or West Coast USA. Maybe it costs more in Europe.
Every time I read like this comment I go searching to get a gle sold at 50% after 3 years but I can't find. Maybe at 15% or 20%. But to get 50% the car had to have at least 10 years
Suggest with plug in hybrids you drag race them with flat battery also to see how quick they are then. Would be good real world test for longer journeys. Pure Diesels would possibly be the closer in performance then.
@@motektomek It's funny because I'm pretty sure all three cars included have the same platform (PL71). And Tesla catching strays for literally no reason is crazy 😭
£90,000 for a VW. This is ridiculous. Unless you earn over £100,000 you have no business buying any of these cars. People who buy these on their £40,000 wage will always be poor. Seeing the 50% deprecation after 3 years is amazing.
You should talk about brakes, Q7, Cayenne and Touareg have 6 piston caliper front brake and 4 piston caliper rear brake as standard whereas the rest needs option for that
Audi would be my choice of car. Practical, comfortable and well built. Second, be the VW. Then the Porsche. I don't see myself having the Merc nor the BMW.
I test drove x5 and Cayenne, and Cayenne is 2 heads above in driving feel, so much so I decided to buy Cayenne S on the spot. X5 is nowhere near as fun to throw into corners. Cayenne makes me smile every time I drive it. And I owned the f15 30D x5 couple years ago.
The air systems that allow these SUVs to lower for "easy loading" have never been a sell point for me. If it's not lowering the vehicle by half a foot (or proper measurements like you all do throughout the rest of the world) I don't see the point.
Same thought about this. Such a little difference. Not to say the useless cost or possible maintenence troubles of a useless system. If someone for some reason want a lower SUV, there are still Wagons out there.
No guys... I hear you talk about Throttle house, Nah... Matt and his crew are the shit... The content is mind blowing. The pun is insane. The drag races are unmatched. Wait have you NOT seen the last few drag races with the revuelto and Yanni... Hold it, what about the likes of Racing driver Sam, Nick van Ooostvorne and Rory ....😂😂😂😂. These mafakas are crazy to the core. Kudos to this Channel and its editors. Love from South Africa. ❤❤❤
@@paultasker7788 Honestly, pretty sure at this point expensive VWs are taken often based on the fact that they are rarer than AUDIs. These are mostly intended for company lease. My managing director chose VW Arteon R, absolutely stupid car to buy for its price imho but as a lease from company, why the hell not ? It looks kinda cool, I'm sure it drives well enough, I would also probably try something like that for a lease of 3-5 years.
What does a Volkswagen do among luxury cars? This brand will never enter that market, no matter what they put in a car. They failed lamentably with the Phaeton.
Phaeton has a huge backlash, and i don't belive it's deserved, i think VW is in a bad spot cause of the dieselgate and eco idiots, if they would get their mind straight we would see a diesel king with huge muscle
I’m leaning towards BMW for its balance of luxury and performance, but Porsche’s engineering is hard to beat. Thanks for such an insightful and entertaining review!
@@Swiss4.2 don't need or want to. People assign luxury more to the brand than the vehicle itself. A fully kited Toyota Camry could easily be in a line up with Mercedes E class and 5 series and absolutely no one will consider it luxury. And I'm the guy who would have the Toyota and probably the VW. It happened before with the VW Phaeton. Was probably as good or better as an S class, but nobody bought it because no rich person will tell their chauffeur to bring the VW...
@@ricardosalavessa1931 true, its like saying A class is luxury because its a Mercedes where its bult-in quality and driving experience are crap compared to its price tag lol !
Audi - it's the best, and the most affordable to boot Porsche - it's the fastest, and most expensive BMW - the most most premium, with the worst rear seats Merc - the clunkiest, which adds to its appeal 😂 VW - no redeeming factors, unless you need a real gear selector, so you feel like the boss, that you are not, as if you were, you would be driving the Porsche as the company car with lowest tax impact
@@fakecomedyandtheabsurd2527 BMW is most crap. Try to drive it in winter at -5 to -20 C and squiking noises you here from everywhere. I would not call it premium at all.
I don't get why everyone wants Suv now days they weigh way to much and way to large on most roads expensive tyres eats fuel. I would love a small hatch or a small station wagon

This is the most British thing ive ever heard🤣🤣. LOVE from South Africa
@@reabetswemabuela9054I love South Africa ♥️
Not sure why but to me the X5 is the default choice in this segment
The BMW always is :)
Its the best for drivers
Ugliest vehicle available
It is. Got myself a 40i M sport I couldn’t be more happier.
@@sondreschjnhaug316 unless you get an AMG GLE, i find it drives better than any X5 model
The fact that, despite all the greatness of the Audi Q7, the Mercedes still wins over it just because of the "I want it" factor is ridiculous.
Matt has always disliked audi whether it’s really good or bad, don’t get the hate.
@@gullible119 yeah it's true, but at least he should give us a more reasonable argument hhhhh
@@saadtachrimant9704the audi doesnt feel luxurious enough for its money
@@laurentiumocacoca175it’s an old model that they just keep facelifting too!
Sadly, Audi builds great cars but they do feel meh when it comes to design.
It's just too boring, inside and out.
I owned a Q8 and did a similar evaluation in Q1.
The new Q8 is basically the same as the old. Same with the Q7.
The Touareg is OK but to expensive for what it is.
The Cayenne was also very expensive and not the best car to buy in my line of work. I also wanted a diesel.
The GLE and X5 remained.
After testing both, the X5 turned out to be the best luxury SUV on the market (for my budget at least).
I would honestly take the Porsche overall for the sole reason that it has physical buttons for the AC. Is this so much to ask from these care brands, god damn it!?
The Mercedes has them aswell, and looks better to my eyes atleast 😊
BMW's 40d is the best I6 diesel at the market no doubt, 450d is really nice, but BMWs is just ever so slightly better
BMW has the BEST engine/transmission combination in EVERY vehicle class they're competing. It's nothing new at all, dude!
Greetings from Bavaria!
@@Porsche1969 Yeah I agree with that.
Lmao bro said "have they made them from scrotum😂😂😂😂""
Scrotum leather of course is the rarest and most expensive way of having leather in a car ;-)
I'm dead😂😂
Personal opinion I really like the gear shifter on the touareg. I think it's very nice to rest the hand on it. Not a fan of the new trend with buttons or little nipples to change gears
Back doors quality... Thats what differs CarWoW to the rest.
Congratulations for the content as always!
I used to be a benz tech and the newer GLE is an amazing car to drive. Iv taken them on multiple hour trips to short grocery trips and there's nothing like how comfy and quite it can be on the road. Here in Arizona the roads are either garbage or ok. And these cars make it feel smooth as hell
0:14 we got a dude stroking it in Carwow before GTA VI 😭😭😭
We got gta vi before gta 6
bro i dont see anything wddym
Why didn't you test these expensive shopping trolleys for how much shopping you can fit in after you drop the kids off at school? That is their intended purpose afterall.
And once a long time ago, they used to take these things off road. Would have been interesting if they found out if they still maintained those abilities...
In our current climate where food prices are through the roof, first time buyers can’t get on the property ladder, landlords are putting rent close to minimum wage, and cost of fuel is giving billions in profit to fuel companies. Who on earth can afford 90K for a base level VW
I have a golf mark 7 estate 2020 probably worth about 15k and to be honest I think parts of the interior are superior to this 90k Tourareg. It has proper buttons on the wheel for a start! VW quality went down with the mark 8 golf which is bad enough but to have cost cutting on a 90k Tourareg is going too far. Overall it's a better interior but not by enough. Needs to be leagues above a golf to justify that price. The previous generation X5 interior lovely. Luxurious and all the buttons easy to use. Why put everything on the screen. That's a step backwards for BMW which aced usability for so long.
it's not entire world by the way, it's mostly the UK and europe.
Ouawww 26 min for 5 reviews cars perfect 👍. It’s not annoying and it’s really dynamic. Perfect I love it 👍. Thanks
I love reviews more than drags! Thanks mattt!!
@carwow did you know that in China the Porsche Cayenne E-hybrid uses a 4 cylinder 2.0T engine? It's the VW engine AE888 combined with electric motors with a total of 392hp
better product for displacement based taxation, probably. we've seen the same in greece and turkey too.
Why never use an x5 e45 or e50 hybrid instead of the 30d??
The G05 X5, after all these years, still the best choice!
Uh no
Uh yes
@@pranavk8293 crap
@@gullible119 uh yes!
unless you go for the performance models, the AMG GLE drives better
The door open and close test is awesome. I know immediately if I like a car or not based solely on whether the doors feel like they’ve been built well or not.
In 1978 when the 3.0 911SC was tested, everyone talked about it's speed. Quarter mile was slower than every SUV you just tested... 14.8 seconds.
Bro that was hundreds of years ago...
Love your style, it's like a burst of creativity in every video!

0:13 not the start to a video I was expecting😭💀
What was it they removed it now
@@Dahiegezey some dude twerking in the back up cam
The Purosangue and Cayenne are actually the best SUV on this drag race.😊
@carwow: The X5 can be optioned with electrically slidable and reclining rear-seats. It’s included when you spec it as a 7-seater.
Without watching the video: X5 is the best
Worst one overall 😅
That was a brave intro Mat 😂😭
These new car prices are getting ridiculous, just wait 3 years and it'll be half the price.
You mean double the price?
Where have you been living for the last 5 years 🤣 ? Due to inflation, the price of these cars will drop maybe 10% or not at all.
@@velidhadzic3011 nope, not really , anywhere in North America it will be down to about 70 percent of its price . You can check out the current deals on autotrader, craigslist etc for Western Canada or West Coast USA. Maybe it costs more in Europe.
Every time I read like this comment I go searching to get a gle sold at 50% after 3 years but I can't find. Maybe at 15% or 20%. But to get 50% the car had to have at least 10 years
Suggest with plug in hybrids you drag race them with flat battery also to see how quick they are then. Would be good real world test for longer journeys. Pure Diesels would possibly be the closer in performance then.
The answer is easy…. None of them is best (for the road) because they are agricultural vehicles.
The dash in the BMW is like they put a modern fridge above the steering wheel. What a "design".
did you see the S class?
True, the non facelift bmw looks waaay better
When the X5 looks like a bargain, but its the best bargain 😂
VW, Audi and Porsche all being here is hilarious in a way
Why ? Better than crap Tesla that looks ugl
@@motektomek It's funny because I'm pretty sure all three cars included have the same platform (PL71). And Tesla catching strays for literally no reason is crazy 😭
@@Tartarus144 Yea, that's what vw group looks like, but getting an Toureq with TSI is a sin, Toureq is ment to be diesel
all the very same.....and all too expensive.
THIS is how you compare vehicles ! Not the "compilation of old videos" ! Amen
Great to see a head to head comparison, this is why I subscribed in the first place
I've saved this to my playlist called "cars I might be able to afford in 2034".
You got the 0 and 3 the wrong way round
@@M140i23 in 2304 they might be veterans with even higher value so not at all.
£90,000 for a VW.
This is ridiculous. Unless you earn over £100,000 you have no business buying any of these cars.
People who buy these on their £40,000 wage will always be poor.
Seeing the 50% deprecation after 3 years is amazing.
You've said it. 30k for one at 3 years old will be a much better buy.
£40,000 wage you are even unable get golf unless your partner have similar income , UK is crazy expensive to live now
They usually lease it and expense it on thier bussinesses so thier tax bracket is reduced.
VW vs BMW vs Mercedes vs VW vs VW
You know 99% of the time if you participate by yourself, you're most likely gonna win, VW giving you life advice 🤣

@@arbydithdodgson4484and Bentley andLamboghini and Seat, all of which use the same platform as the Touareg. Now, which is the most successful.
Thumbnail already has all the vehicles ranked in the correct order starting with the best one from the left 👌🏼
You should talk about brakes, Q7, Cayenne and Touareg have 6 piston caliper front brake and 4 piston caliper rear brake as standard whereas the rest needs option for that
0:15 really? Right infront of my panzerschokolade?!
Audi would be my choice of car. Practical, comfortable and well built.
Second, be the VW. Then the Porsche.
I don't see myself having the Merc nor the BMW.

13:16 … ‘back door handling’ is VERY important. 😉😉😉
I test drove x5 and Cayenne, and Cayenne is 2 heads above in driving feel, so much so I decided to buy Cayenne S on the spot. X5 is nowhere near as fun to throw into corners. Cayenne makes me smile every time I drive it. And I owned the f15 30D x5 couple years ago.
The air systems that allow these SUVs to lower for "easy loading" have never been a sell point for me. If it's not lowering the vehicle by half a foot (or proper measurements like you all do throughout the rest of the world) I don't see the point.
Same thought about this. Such a little difference.
Not to say the useless cost or possible maintenence troubles of a useless system.
If someone for some reason want a lower SUV, there are still Wagons out there.
why do all new cars cost the same as a small house these days.
Where do you even get a house for these amount?? lol
@pingu4434 up north near bradford etc average prices around 70k

90k for a volkswagen is a robbery. whatever happened to the car of the people
Who would buy VW when you can get Audi for the same price?
@@paultasker7788 fr
@@paultasker7788 Honestly, pretty sure at this point expensive VWs are taken often based on the fact that they are rarer than AUDIs. These are mostly intended for company lease. My managing director chose VW Arteon R, absolutely stupid car to buy for its price imho but as a lease from company, why the hell not ? It looks kinda cool, I'm sure it drives well enough, I would also probably try something like that for a lease of 3-5 years.

Why did they remove the night vision part

Phub meets Carwow. Love it.
What does a Volkswagen do among luxury cars? This brand will never enter that market, no matter what they put in a car. They failed lamentably with the Phaeton.
Phaeton has a huge backlash, and i don't belive it's deserved, i think VW is in a bad spot cause of the dieselgate and eco idiots, if they would get their mind straight we would see a diesel king with huge muscle
Pointless expensive heavy cars
If you need an off roader buy a Land Cruiser
If you want luxury and space buy a large estate car
Well that’s ur opinion
I’m leaning towards BMW for its balance of luxury and performance, but Porsche’s engineering is hard to beat. Thanks for such an insightful and entertaining review!
“The luxury test”, this is too funny 🤣🤣
Always use Mat's voice for my 30 min nap but sometimes I wake up early when he says IT'S COMPLETELY FREE.
The way my jaw dropped, in the beginning!?!! 💀💀
VW in a luxury line up? They're expensive but not luxury...
Why not? Touareg is most certainly a luxury car. From this comment I can tell you have never driven one
@@Swiss4.2 don't need or want to. People assign luxury more to the brand than the vehicle itself. A fully kited Toyota Camry could easily be in a line up with Mercedes E class and 5 series and absolutely no one will consider it luxury. And I'm the guy who would have the Toyota and probably the VW. It happened before with the VW Phaeton. Was probably as good or better as an S class, but nobody bought it because no rich person will tell their chauffeur to bring the VW...
@@ricardosalavessa1931 true, its like saying A class is luxury because its a Mercedes where its bult-in quality and driving experience are crap compared to its price tag lol !
@@Mu7u298it is a luxury brand, but they make those cars just for the logo.

BMW
Mercedes
AUDI
Porsche
Volkswagen
Audi - it's the best, and the most affordable to boot
Porsche - it's the fastest, and most expensive
BMW - the most most premium, with the worst rear seats
Merc - the clunkiest, which adds to its appeal 😂
VW - no redeeming factors, unless you need a real gear selector, so you feel like the boss, that you are not, as if you were, you would be driving the Porsche as the company car with lowest tax impact
@@fakecomedyandtheabsurd2527 BMW is most crap. Try to drive it in winter at -5 to -20 C and squiking noises you here from everywhere. I would not call it premium at all.
I don't get why everyone wants Suv now days they weigh way to much and way to large on most roads expensive tyres eats fuel. I would love a small hatch or a small station wagon
Safety man
I knew BMW was gonna win, the x5 got 'go ahead and buy it' on its review
Nothing special there
After driving a lot of the competition I settled with an SQ8 and I’m absolutely in love with it❤
