FirasYT Games hey, he’s just saying what model it is, we all know it’s an SQ2, it’s not the end of the world that he hasn’t mentioned a single letter 🙄 and you know what he means anyway. This kind of needless comment doesn’t get you anywhere in life.
@@DNLV-yn2cw haha, thanks for supporting common sense! And just to clarify, I didn't miss the 'S' in SQ2. When discussing sizes, it's common practice to talk in terms of base models. That's why Golf and not Golf R :)
From what I remember they have some extra reinforcements to the chassis, that is definitely adding some weight. There was a review that shows them somewhere. The 8 speed gearbox can also be a little heavier than that 7 speed in the A35. And something extra from the engine, of course.
mainly because a45s needs heavier duty components to compensate for more power. Such as bigger brakes and shocks, chassis stiffening, bigger differential, driveshaft, upgraded engine internal and slightly bigger turbo etc, all contributes to the extra weight.
@@winkerr2338 the point is: you're a dumbass if you want anything close to a SUV. You don't need a SUV, and if you do, these aren't what you should be looking for, and are stinking up the market
You do realise that the Audi, Seat, and Golf, have the exact same drivetrain, engine and gearbox right? The only factor that should make any difference between those three cars is weight.Audi is heaviest. Doesn't make any sense at all.
@@malkris5237 Luxury does not make a car faster, if anything it makes it slower due to added weight. If the engine and transmission are the same between the Audi, Seat and VW, why is the Audi quickest with added mass, err, luxury? Unless output of the Audi is greater, which by the stats here it is not, or the gearing is different.
Mark Lawton merc is better tbh sounds better as a stock and has the better interior coming from a bmw fan the golf r sound like a vacuum and interior quality lacks
Who knows if all cars even had the same fuel if your running on 95 Ron or 99 it could be the difference. Either way I would rather a golf R or the merc amg anyday
Andy venn I Looked at a Mercedes A35 not that I can Afford one 😢, But I actually thought it was a Well Made Car I liked the seating position and the Fact I could see the Bonet, with my Focus it Dips away and the Dash is quite high too, I like the Seat Low which don’t help your view over the Dash. In contrast I looked at a mk7 gtd and found it sort of the same story as my focus, Seat was Too low can’t see the bonnet.
Don't get it, it is 2019 why do we still have to watch such videos in 1080p I mean.. You have tons of money buy a good camera and use it properly for god sake
exactly, like every person needs the ability to MAYBE go in mud when they live in the city, it's not that these crossovers are faster, they just cost more and are put in a different class for fuel economy, so that's why, at least in the US, they're being pushed down our throats. If you want a real car with real usable storage, get a honda fit w/ a stick and thrash it, cause these CUVs have less storage space than a sedan
The problem is that these "small SUVs"...aren't. They're slightly oversized, slightly lifted hatchbacks with some plastic cladding marketed as SUVs so braindead normal people in search of a road appliance buy them.
Someone I know traded in his Focus RS for a Cupra Ateca... That's slower than the GolfR whilst the Focus RS is way faster than the Golf R... Good choice ;-D
Almost identical (the three VW products have the same engine). Based on the specs the Merc should have won this. Better driver in the Audi? Or was this an Audi commercial?
danmar007 I wouldn’t be so sure about this Merc wonnig so much, check out carwow channel. There was a drag race which included merc A35 AMG and S3 and that S3 was pulling away even more hence the same engine as SQ2. Disclaimer: not an Audi fanboy
Jeremy Clarkson dieded because he ate bad steak and fight and someone kill him and Mr may and mr Hammond are sad and resign from the top gear and they drive tank with signature for revenge
This specific golf r also lost in the carwow races and consistently put down much slower times than others.. i dont think its the healthiest example out there
So , basically , this a drag race between the VW Group and Mercedes :)))
Haha! Was thinking why the SQ2, Golf, and Ateca have the same power output. Then realized they are under VW
@@julyjohnhibionada2406Everything is under vw . If you stare long enough at their logo, your soul will be under VW.

Win VW ;)
Edward Alexander lol
This was sooo boring..... Carwow makes better drag races ....
Then why don't you sod right on over to his channel and watch some?
You know what else was boring? Your comment.
You're complaining about more car videos?
dvem4e that's so true!
I accidentally clicked because I thought it was carwow
How the hell did they manage to make a SQ2 lighter than a Golf R and faster then A35!😲
That is lord of the rings 👌❤
Because the Q2 is actually a smaller vehicle. Q3 is closer to the Golf in size :)

That shot from the side was banging, haven't seen that angle in a drag race before
At Carwow the Golf R does 0-60 in 4.2 sec so what grandmother was driving for Topgear?
Wet track?
@@planecrazy2 on a wet track it did 4.8 with a manual
This is more a race in responstime off the humans ho drive the cars 😂😂🤘🤘
It takes a special talent to make content like this boring. Great job with that firing of Jeremy Clarkson.
jayls5 ikr boring asf
Why Top Gear is so dreary & Rubbish now. BBC Killed the Top Gear.
omg so true i click on a video then i realize that its the new top gear and then i click off
Now watch carwow for drag race
"I've dropped them all, but the SQ2 is right next to me" Hmmm...OK
popdog200 its so fucking cringe
popdog200 “omg who won”
The golf r, sq2, and the ateca all have the same vw engine
“Who won, who won?”
Everyone clearly seeing the Audi was ahead by an entire hood. Adding fake drama, the only thing the new Top Gear is good at.
Quattro ! The Lord of the RINGS 👌👌
Lol, all four were hot hatches! Three of which were all VW. Two of them are raised up hatches called SUV’s based on the same car platform.
The Audi was literally heavier and had less horsepower than the A35, but it still won.
Vorsprung durch technik
How did they make the a45s 140kg heavier than the a35? 🤔
Barış ORUÇ Yeah maybe if they put a second motor in the A45...
Barış ORUÇ it has the same motor
Stuffing a lot of useless blings that caters to blind/stupid Apple fan-boys alike...

Imagine Clarkson saying hit that subscribe button etc lol
Hot hatches are not about drag racing, you should know that.
Oh. Realises it's not the proper Top Gear, turns it off.
An Audi S3 would be a much better choice, the Q2 just looks strange
I think you missed the whole point of the video.
And even faster tho
@@winkerr2338 the point is: you're a dumbass if you want anything close to a SUV. You don't need a SUV, and if you do, these aren't what you should be looking for, and are stinking up the market
@@diogovieira3362 What did I just read?
the Audi was the best car there, not only because it won but also because the Mercedes, with less weight and more power couldn't keep up
You do realise that the Audi, Seat, and Golf, have the exact same drivetrain, engine and gearbox right?

That not very hard to lift the right foot a little bit for commercial purposes
Didrik Halsoy you should realise that there r more components in a car than the drivetrain, engine and gearbox, audi is luxury.

Didrik Halsoy yes but no. thats why costs more.
Why not a high speed camera on the finish line? Might as well get a 1000fps camera (since you can afford) then we can see millisecond precision
Nice video to watch while I spend time to choose color for Golf
I like the euro version on that AMG car. I don't think we got that car here in the USA. At least not in that trim level.
Tightest drag race ever. Well done!
I bought the Golf R - better discounts than the Merc and corners so much harder than the SUVs!
Mark Lawton merc is better tbh sounds better as a stock and has the better interior coming from a bmw fan the golf r sound like a vacuum and interior quality lacks
Just realised this was top gear thought I was watching car wow 😂
Had to look twice to find the Ateca hidden somewhere in the background. Good Job SQ2
Great launch. I’ve dropped them all.
The SQ2 is right next to me though!
🤦♂️
The hot hatch isn't dead and will probably never die but the small SUVs are getting better
Now try them on a track and see the physics at work!
Will there be a Video from Chris testing the A45s?
His Instagram Post about how it drives sounds very disappointing
The old top gear with Jeremy James and Richard was so much bettet
💩😉🤣🤣
I was pushing for the SQ2.
Same engine in all of those cars except for the Merc!
Sad
All these cars are so nice!!! Mercédes is my favorite!
was? not anymore? You mean IS...
Supercars in Greece i like golf r
Detective Yes my friend! Thanks for your reply!
alp arsalan Very nice choice!!!
We need Bugatti vs pagani vs koenigsegg
We've got a Seat Ateca and it's lovely.
The Merc slightly has power and weight advantage but the transmission difference translates to wat we just saw
0:39 Video start
So basically three times the same car vs. a Merc ...
I thought this was a carwow video when I saw the notification but it is only the new Top Gear 😑
The old top gear would have been nice😖
What does it matter? Isn't the point of the video the drag race?
@@danielkoskiluoto4499 yes
@@harleycollins6627 carwow makes brake test and rolling race on top of the drag race

@@mark-1rc502 wtf??? An hot hatch is way better in any case
Vincec og
I hope that’s more Understandable poor grammar I’m afraid
So, this was a race between 1 Mercedes engine and 3 VW engines.
Hmm id like to see that again but using the a45 amg full fat version instead, results would be another story
Obviously... but the A35 is a fairer comparison.
Why is the Golf R so pricey? It's much cheaper in Canada
Dude look at the sheap looking, low quality Ateca, it is as expensieve as an Amg and Audi omg wtf...Who is going to buy it over X1 m and SQ2?
......Wait this isn't Carwow
Well don for noticing, what gave it away?
i prefer the cupra ateca over the sq2
I think top gear should improve the layout of their videos and cut some of the editing at the start of the race 🤔
Bad start for Golf R because is faster or more neck a neck finish. But SQ2 is lighter and faster than others
Apparently they forgot to say it is a sponsored video (by Audi).
Rory Reid no thanks, Car Wow every time for drag races
Sooooo, the a35 vs the Volkswagen group?
Audi is ahead, still says thats a photo finish? You are not bright sir.
So what exactly happened?
I was considering the Golf R but after watching this, I'm gonna reconsider
drsnowmon you’re stupid if you base a buying decision on one video. Go watch other drag race vids
0:47 that's something new. good idea:)
i like these videos, no bullshit just straight up drag race
Don't get it, it is 2019 why do we still have to watch such videos in 1080p I mean.. You have tons of money buy a good camera and use it properly for god sake
Wheres the others?

3 cars with the same engine. Could have added some diversity
Phetogo Kgathi that’s what I’m saying
Quattro 💪🏻👍🏻👏🏻✌🏻👌🏻

With automatics, 4WD and launch control it doesn't matter who's driving so stop blaming drivers pls.
@Keli K. I did. You're right. Eagle eye! :-)
@BlitzkriegRap Getting upset about nothing?
let's see if 3 WV's can beat one small merc...
Great video!
I would think that the Cupra is the cheapest car here so spend another 600 quid for the ABT package (check out Carwow) and you'll get 350 hp.......
0:54 a nice wallpaper, amazing shot!!
Top gear was better before
The drag race we all have already seen....
3 of the vehicles have same engines and drivetrains... just different bodies and overall weights. So the difference should be in the drivers ;)
what kind of drag race was this?
Done extremely goodly
Is it ever dry in England?
I'd still have the Golf R.
exactly
merc's too showboaty and it looks worse than the old one, and the other well, are SUV crap
I don't think that is the reason people buy them.
damn that vw polo impressed me
i mean... Jesus Christ!
Y R U not using the Mercedes AMG A45s?
ThEse CaRs are all so uhh fast?
That sq2 is fast for a high riding vehicle.
Copying Car wow's videos ? 🙄
Never seen an episode with these guys, stopped watching the minute it wasn’t Jeremy. Richard and James, glad I did lol.
Lies.
Where’s the BMW M140i Rwd or Xdrive?
A35 for me cos no car can match the quality of the interior... its stunning inside...
Do the right thing and bury Top Gear it died a few years ago.
Audi must secretly tune that EA888 engine. It’s heavier than the Golf R which means it must of been slower and it thrashed it
SQ2 looks nice tho!
Should have gone to Specsavers mate.
That was so close
What about Ford focus rs
Raja Suman not even worth comparing, these are a completely more refined class of car
@@MrReeceyburger123 see it performance
Should have used focus rs
Wait what happened to the other guys? Jeremy Clarkson, etc
Grand tour
Jeremy Clarkson dieded because he ate bad steak and fight and someone kill him and Mr may and mr Hammond are sad and resign from the top gear and they drive tank with signature for revenge
That diference between A35 and SQ2 doesn't mean nothing
These prices are bs as well. Very rare anyone would purchase a basic version of these cars.
Basic?
ARE HOT HATCHES DEAD??!! LMAO. ARE YOU A JOKE?
Please don't drive Merc next time.
This specific golf r also lost in the carwow races and consistently put down much slower times than others.. i dont think its the healthiest example out there
Très cool
Your drag races are better than CarWow’s because your drivers are better thus the result are more real.
How in the hell does that audi weigh less than the golf r? It's the same drivetrain, and the audi is bigger, that makes zero sense.
