Have you ever wondered how three of the most popular family SUVs can perform off-road? Well, we have, so we made this video! We’ve got the BMW X3 going up against the Audi Q5 & Volvo XC60 across a series of six challenges to see which is the ultimate family car off-roader.
So how do they compare on paper? Well starting with the X3, it’s the ‘30e’ edition, so it’s powered by a 2-litre petrol engine coupled with an electric motor to deliver 292hp and 420Nm of torque. It weighs about 1,990kg and costs approximately £49,000.
Next up is the Audi Q5, which has a 2-litre turbo petrol engine under the bonnet to produce 265hp and 370Nm. It weighs less than the BMW, coming in at 1,880kg, and it’s cheaper too, costing around £43,000.
And finally we have the Volvo XC60. With a 2-litre turbo diesel up front, the XC60 puts down 197hp and 420Nm of torque. It’s weight and price is pretty similar to the Audi, at 1,900kg & £43,000 respectively.
So what do you think - will the most powerful car in the line-up, the X3, snatch it? You’ll have to keep watching to find out!

Next drag race/review with new Tesla model s plaid.
What about 5 fastest diesels drag race
BMW X3
Who else got anxiety when he sat on the seat with those boots?
Me lol
Me
Yeah that's was so unpleasant 😂😂😂
yeah wtf
I can't believe he did that 😲
I love how they still used the females voice over for the count down.
What a good taste you've got, to have love such a pleasant sounding voice, lol. 😂😂🤣🤣.
I think it's just for the lolz at this point...
They do it at drag races too :)
Ohh i was thinking Darren's got a soft voice
@@ME10920 He was just impersonating a young girl.
These off-road tests are always botched, man. Test cars one at a time, same driver, same lines, same tires etc to see which car actually has the advantage. Otherwise it’s just too subjective to be taken seriously.
exactly it’s just random and result are different for whoever pushed the pedal further
Since Vw always wins at these kind of tests, you know who is the main sponsor of this channel...
Even if you used the same driver, you can't guarantee that they'll drive in exactly the same way every time. We've all seen drag races where professionals mess up all the time. There's no race that's 100% fair but I guess minimising the bias is important
Exactly
Even with the same driver, it's a high margin of variance. We don't always do things exactly the same way.
And they're likely using everything stock on these cars, which makes sense not to be changing out tires.
The Volvo was set up to fail here. They could have used a higher spec car that would have 250bhp and hill descent control fitted, and still been in the same price range of the other two 🤔
the volvo must be in that comparison T8 petrol-hybrid version 408hp ,bet for some reason Car Wow take weakest volvo not even mild hybrid.Actualy T8 most powerful hybrid -no one has that amount off power from 2.0
The volvo has the same price as the audi but the volvo is just weaker
Volvos are shit, lucky to even be next to these Germans beasts
@@yes_sir301 audi is boring geneticly damaged volkswagen legacy,nothing to impress about power,just as regular german moveis engine size only 3 ;4 or 6 liters powerfull powertrain ,not as 2.0 t8 volvo or alfa romeo enginering.
@@rg6982 ruclips.net/video/_9fw9nou_G8/видео.html look at german quality you moran
Matt definitely takes the hills up faster than the others. He’s using momentum to help him up more than the others.
True, also looked like the BMW driver drove the slowest by far.
@@Fubo777 they kept switching drivers but still it was unfair
But at the end of the day it was done to show us that these cars can offroad
I noticed that too in almost every challenge. He doesn't like losing
he cheats a lot
Darren’s got a really high pitched voice on the starts. 😂🤣
I hate hate that, let the man use his voice cheap carwow.

As a Swede, I’m just saying that the Volvo would have won if it had the hybrid too. Great video btw❤️🇸🇪
Exactly.
I dont think so, the T8 XC90 performed pretty badly in one video i watched
Matt Gates Volvo’s you can see it in Evert video. I love them tho
Volvo making best tracks ever ⛟❤🔥
The xc60 and 90 isnt even the off road car since that is Volvo V90 Cross country
That Q5 looks slick in that color damn!!!
These cars are not made for off-road...
Carwow: Lets see about that...
Charlie Zelenoff the best let's get Charlie a UFC contract
A SsanYong Rexton would kill these off-road
That's not really off-road. That's a bad road, but road nevertheless.
@@dragospahontu A Ssangyong even isn't a real car. It would kill anybody in an accident. But it never would kill a quattro in anything.
@@dragospahontu There's always someone with a SsangYong or a Dacia Duster in these comment sections...good for you buddy but don't pretend your brand is remotely in the league with these 3.
Really enjoyed this off road comparison. Would love to see more of these on the channel!
Thank you for increasing the frequency of video upload. Great content mat❤️
Matt do a off road challenge with Tesla model X and Audi E-tron and Mercedes EQC
Yes pleaseeee!!!
Please
the EQC isn’t made for off-roading at all and has less ground clearance then the GLC without air suspension
Would choose another Merc but still
Its gonna be a video full of wheelslips and bottoming out.
Darren's voice is quiet charming when counting down.
Lol
@Shaheen Jackson I know
@Shaheen Jackson Did you just whooosh yourself?
Give us more of these as well Mat, enjoyed it!
This is what we all have been waiting for, great job Mat.
Audi probably looks the best in my eyes. Interesting video matt thanks man 👌👌
Hi verified person 👋
For its the bmw
Yup you got it right
It's the Volvo followed by the audi then the bmw for me they all look Okey but I like the Volvo more style wise
It looks like a PT Cruiser that Q5
That Q5 looks so nice! Especially in that colour.
Almost an attractive old Land Rover colour?
Audi knows how to make good looking cars
@@bonzobonanza yea i think their best looking car has to be the r8 followed by the e tron gt
@@bonzobonanzaimo bmw and mercedes always try to make bad looking cars... like the old amg e63 looks better than the new one and the new m3 and m4s look so much worse than the old ones
*NEIN*
12:02 that engine cover on Beemer looks smashed
Matt love the pause feature....love ur videos bruh...keep em coming
Day 547: of asking for a Yanni vs Matt foot race 🏃♀️
Keep going, I once asked a guy I follow to say something different in his intro and it took me literally 2+ years but he did it eventually lmao
@@DDB-91 Fun fact: he would have done it anyways.
Day 547????? Bro you only have two comments on this channel lol
@@abde4645 haha sorry inspector gadget, was just a joke
@@taylormoretti1402 yeah that's why i put a "lol" at the end
Do more of these off road test, they are the best.

These off-road challenges are really interesting and helpful for choosing the best 4WD among them. I enjoyed it. Thanks.💙💙❤❤
Не справедливые испытания!!!🤬
I wouldn't even compare Volvo with some rest of the cars 😂❤️!
It's such a great car.
Volvo for life!
Matt drag race pls the Porsche Cayenne turbo GT Vs Lambo Urus Vs BMW X6 M Vs Bentley Benteyga
And Audi SQ8 and Mercedes GLE 63 amg
Dodge SRT TrackHawk or Durango
@@vanzemaljacludi3324 or rsq8
Please get a bunch of soccer moms, that don't have any interest in cars to drag race them
Spoiler: BMW x6m wins, Porsche is second…
Love the facelifted Q5, but I'm a sucker for the Sportback version. Thanks for the great video as usual!
Love the Sq5 sport back this was a Nice review
we all knows you're Audi ''sucker'' ;)
@Teodor Munteanu why should i be mad ? :O
I actually prefer the normal facelift version not the sportback.
Me 2
We need more of these off-road challenges!
This is one of the most accurate and amazing comparison videos
I got anxiety when Matt when he trampled the seat with the dirty boots
Oh no.. Dirt is permanent and can't possibly be cleaned... Right?
@@shona5512 yeah and especially on leather seats 😂😂
I never get anxiety 'because I am a moron 🙃
i love these offroading videos
Matt should've done some grocery store race, running over curb test, reaction time of using indicator during turns, pedestrian honking sound test and more.
That will be more interesting cause that's how these SUVs will actually be used in the real world.
Thanks for this. Appreciate CarWow catering for all audiences 😄
Absolutely pointless, should have one person driving them all as some might try and look after the vehicles unlike Mat!!😀
And are they on the same tyre? I bet not.
Big e it’s just for entertainment, much like a rambo movie!
@@vc8160 they should put that in the title. Wat a clickbaitor
The 100 hp more potent X3 is quicker than the XC60, what a surprise..
They couldn't get the T6-R model it would of been substantial price gap approx 60k ish depending on country
X3 is so dogshit. Imagine having to do a 3 point turn on that corner while the other 2 cars didn't even have to think about it. Also 0 traction and those approach and descent angles are the biggest load of bullshit.
@@hyper_5pace902 it’s ok, u can’t afford one anyways.
RIP to the detailer that cleaned them😂
So cool! Definitely do more like this !!
the Audi needs a more competitive driver
U mean VW....
@@tamasfodor6774 Audi not VW read it again if you need 🤡
@@tonirs3604 AUDI is just an expensive VW but i dont have to explain it you! 🤦
@@tamasfodor6774 if you didn't know VW makes affordable cars and Audi makes premium cars. They might be in the same group but they're 2 completely different brands
Passat B8 = Audi A6 Avant Polo = Audi Q2 Golf 8 = Audi A3 and so on.
should’ve tested a volvo d5 with more hp it was a lil unfair
Doesn’t it depend on the torque?
@@-_neo_- more power = more torque
@@baxter009 But that Volvo is a Diesel, they usually have more torque (here the same as the BMW and more than the Audi)
@@-_neo_- you still need power. They should have compared the more powerful version as when they always wanna push some brand, they use less powerful version of competitors.
@@-_neo_- Torque only doesn't move you either. Power is Torque * RPM. So a bigger Diesel definetly would have changed some. So the more often you apply the torque / the motor turns the crankshaft, the more power you get. That's why power increases with rpm and torque at some point decreases.
@3:52 I didn’t expect Darren’s voice to sound like that 🤨😂
I have to say that this is one of your best videos. It shows a proper like for like comparison and showcases your knowledge too. It's also got less of your silliness. Now if you can design a similar test for cars...
I think the hill descent challenge was a bit unfair, the Volvo got down at a speed that was safe and didn't damage the car, but the Audi and BMW were set to the lowest speed possible which wasn't needed on that hill
The main idea is to check the grip of the car.
@@samiahmed4673 any car can pass that , they weren't even trying to brake to see if it would slide down
@@RioPutra_ Thats not how hill descent control works. The entire idea of hill descent is how well can the car control its descent........the faster it goes down the worse it is. You lot had asbolutely no idea why the test was performed.
@@441meatloaf exactly , my comment was referring to the replying comment about checking the grip about the car which is false
Final verdict: Mat always wins!🤣
He is a lot skilled tbh like offroad, drag strip or a circuit this man has it all
Exactly. I feel like it's not about the cars but Matt and other drivers...tyres not mentioned too
When you don't give a flying f*ck about the car you are driving you can get fast times in offroad even with a supercar.
Why didnt you get a t8 or t6 volvo, would have been nore similar to the others
Because he's a BMW fanboy... Volvo xc60 t8 has been the car of the year for the latest 4/5 years. It's just so good it would be unfair to the others!
love these videos with the point system
This comparaison would be much better if the BMW wasn't a hybrid
And didn't cost like 5 grand more than the others because, surprise it is a higher trim than the cars it is compared with
Exactly
Actually if it was the BMW was lose in the first round
Exactly, he chose the wrong varients
Why? It's hybrid vs diesel vs petrol. I don't see the problem at all.
I can just imagine the press teams from each company watching this vid
I love these off road tests. I hope carwow continues to do them.
Same
Matt screaming always gets me 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Only off-road driving these cars gonna see is when drunk soccer mum drives over bus station
Thanks for your feedback

The volvo needed a more powerfull engine like the T6
Its shit who cares
And the gay5 needs to send back to Ingolstadt in 56 pieces
@@brorbror6789 the Volvo is the best car there by a mile
@@fraud1366 u cant compare fucking volvo with the german brands
@@fraud1366 ngl as much as it pains me to say this, Volvo is not the same as it used to be
I like this kind of video u should do more of them it’s very nice... like 65% of drag race and 35% off road
Hahahaha the editors are still legends for adding the car wow girl's countdown audio. Only caught that half way the video.
This was actually quite fun to watch! Need more off road races/challenges haha
Ahhh Matt back with off-road tests. 💯
Just in love with BMW💙Thanks to Karl Rapp and the Crew in those days
This is a whole different kind of video. I think I see good weather in UK 👀🤣
This is my favourite test yet. Nice work!
This was a great comparison! Could you do the X5, Q7/Q8 and CX90 next? Maybe even include the GLE? Would be awesome to see! 😁🤓
omg that would be the dream video
No point doing bmw x series in this if a 49k version nearly loses to a volvo which has another spec with more power and a similar price ehich would wipe the floor with it. X series are dogshit offroad with the rear focused awd system.
@@hyper_5pace902 How is it dogshit offroad. Look at this video, it did better than the Volvo which means The Volvo is even more dogshit. The BMW is a great car
@@AH-gk3by
.
@@YoungCarWiz obviously all of the best offroad vehicles like Jeep, trucks, Land Rover, etc are primarily front wheel drive because RWD is "dogshit" offroad. 🤣
You guys need to do another one of these but with even more expensive SUV'S like Urus, Bentley and Porsche or something like that👍
Matt knows his cars so well he always picks or tries to pick the one that would most likely win.
3:52 Darren's got a cute voice, not gonna lie!
Editors having a blast 😂
@@BIGGELATO the girl is the editor😂
Audi always nails the looks of its cars.
True
looks pretty bad... just ny opinion
@@ramanuj_g you are in the wrong side
The front looks epic, the rear not so much
They’re all lovely, but the Volvo is the best looker for me.
We need Matt testing all of them so he can ‘feel’ which is best and try his same driving style for fair comparison, other than that good video!
He in the Volvo: «and gently down»
Also him at the same time: bottemsout😅
Darren has a high pitched voice when counting down the start of each race bit…
Despite this test if I had the cash I’d still buy the Volvo…
Not sure why a diesel Volvo was compared to a turbo hybrid BMW when Volvo makes a turbo hybrid model of the same car. Surely it would have better hill ascent, descent and overall speed if it was the same. The Volvo hybrid drivetrain is the most powerful of these models.
3:51 i love how they actually kept that girls voice lol😂
hehehehehe
Shame this test didn’t include a Velar, quality as always though Matt
Please drive the CT5V Blackwing :) Btw, love your videos
Congrats Mat though the manouvre run was quite standard as all 3 SUVs started at different points with you starting a bit further but still won👍
What's the point of racing a 292hp vs a 197hp!? We already knew which one was gonna win before the race began.
Because a car person would know HP is not the only factor in a cars overall performance...
@@commanderspock5983 Expecially Off Road.
Look at the torque, it won’t be that different in performance in these tests
Horsepower has nothing to do with the acceleration, the torque does.
@@rt.99 do you know much about hikvision intercoms (modular) and whether they are good? The traditional videx and ASM are apparently dog 💩
I like this off-road test you do
I actually like how Darren gives the countdown at 3:52 in the voice of The countdown girl from the drag races
Finally what I've always hope to see on this channel! Test the cars in their environment that they were built for.
Same
Im actually so angry at matt.. The way he put his feet on the leather seats
Sweet christ in heaven that second edit of flash gordon theme almost did me in the person who cut this is beyond oh man
I like how Darren can change his voice while counting down
lets be honest, 8:45 is the part that actually matters. this is where we see how the AWD systems behave when they lose traction and when they have wheels in the air. and for me, the X3 behaved the best. it had almost zero wheelspin. Q5 was a bit worst, with more wheelspin, and XC60 had the most wheelspin.
I like this new format, keep doing this as well
Glad to see the XC60 did well considering it is (correct me if I am wrong) the oldest design. Would be interesting to see these up again the Land Rover Discovery Sport which (I believe) also has the Haldex diff.
Is no one going to talk about matt perfectly nailing that flash Gordon theme song yell? Lmao
Quattro is Quattro! Lovely!
Vw is Vw.
@@volvo_nikolas LOL!
💯🔥🔥
Not very fair really, Volvo started with a disadvantage with that diesel engine. Should have got the B5 or T5 model with more power, would have been a fairer comparison.
Yeah should have petrol engine to be fair.
To be fair in the off-road world power is almost irrelevant, your average tractor is only about 100hp and could out pull 10 of these cars at a time! It's tyres, driver , weight distribution and power in that order in my view, being a diesel might even be an advantage in some ways!
@@TheHamiltonRacing but when it comes to drag race , the tractor will be the turtle when compare to those trio
@@konsen6149 even in a drag race it's only what you can get down that counts, everything else is wasted, but your right nearly everything beats a tractor probably including a bicycle!! Lol
@@TheHamiltonRacing maybe you are hallucinated in.your comment , LOL
Pls pls do the same review but on the smaller siblings! The Xc40, bmw x1, audi Q/12? Seeing that you had group comparison video too some years back? You guys are awsome!
So much fun but I really wish you guys had a GLC SUV around on that day :)
The Volvo would be perfect if it had a little more ponnies to match the X3 and Q5.
and a proper 4WD?
Ya because it hade the bas model D4 insted of the D5 that comes with 225 insted of 197hp and only kost slitly more for a better car and anny one buying a XC60 is going to opt for the D5
@@skifter0013 are you saying nobody will buy a D4?maybe email Volvo and tell them
Great to have Drag race like this. The Quattro system is already legendary and for a long time we all know that. But it's not fair to put a low spec XC60 in while the others are obviously in better spec.
both the audi and volvo were lower spec ones. especially the volvo. The comparison was not exactly the fairest among them.
Great cars and great video bravo!
AWD Snow testing would have also been legendary, such as "Tyre Reviews" channel.
Despite being put on the most steep hill the BMW still performed pretty well lol.
I love that when the man did the countdown it was a woman's voice.
Looks like that press fleet Volvo has already had some paint - nearside rear door a different shade to front door
Matt's fav off roading words
Bottom out
Ground out
Held off, it's expensive
Would love to see some more off road challenges between some of the less “premium” brands of cars
Hey Matt can you do a drag race with a Kia Soul pls
Ant the kia e niro
Charlie Zelenoff in the UFC let's get the champion boxer there
@@attractiveness999 you're a baby who poops his pants when taking a real punch and run off😂
The video is awesome! That BMW has great suspension! The Volvo is lower to the ground so it has less suspension. My dad has a Land Rover Discovery 02. We only drive it if we think are other cars are going to get stuck, or we want to off road, because it guzzles gas. For are next car it’s going to be a Grey Tesla Model X Plaid with 7 seats. You make very good high quality videos. Thank goodness you made these! Other wise I don’t know what I would do!
Great video Matt. I’ve just ordered the new SQ5 (non sports back). Do you think the SQ will be as good, better or worse than the review car. Cheers!🍻
The SQ5 is going to have a power advantage, it’s the same chassis, though the suspension may be set up a little more for on road performance.
1:03 Matt says 440 but it shows 420. Man of culture. 420 all the way.
Make a vid in a snowy and icy place!! And bring the same cars as you had here!
Very hyped for the cybertruck off-road comparison with hummer ev or some other ones
