  1. Lots of volvo bits in the interior, not a bad thing
    384
  2. I'm so happy it's not full of fake vents like some other superminis
    146
  3. I cannot fathom for the life of me why lane assist etc. are taken into account in a crash test now. If you can not detect yourself that you are drifting out of your lane, please, for the love of all that is holy, hand in your license.
    77
  4. Not sure why but I think I actually like this more than the A-class visually.
    63
  5. The looks are a huge improvement over the regular Kona.
    60
  6. It's not the best out of the newest peugeots design wise I think (Compared to 3008, 5008, 508, 208), but it still looks great especially compared to most cars in the segment.
    55
  7. I'd buy the fiat, looks like a car and less like an angry wasp
    44
  8. What a GORGEOUS car. I love it!
    28
  9. Feels a bit weird that this has a higher quality cabin than new Volkswagens
    24
  10. Oh, Look a new Mazda! Oh wait nevermind
    21
  11. It kinda looks like those cheap chinese SUVs they're trying to sell in Australia or Europe
    21
  12. Modern renaults are beautiful cars
    18
  13. There's quite a price difference
    14
  14. "SUV" you misspelt family hatchback
    14
  15. "you can charge it from flat to full in 15 miles" ???
    14
  16. If I wanted this in my driveway it would just be cheaper for me to go buy a potato and paint some chrome coachlines on it. Would probably look nicer too.
    13
  17. Wtf why is the camera in the front so prominant it completely ruined the grille
    13
  18. I'll save you the 4.6 minutes and tell you: No, no it doesn't stand out.
    13
  19. Oh my lord what have they done in the interior? No actual buttons, anywhere besides the steering wheel? Not even a dial for the climate? A touch sensitive slider, really? And I know that car journalists will praise/ignore it despite ragging on Peugeot for doing the same
    12
  20. They have done a great job disguising the typical city car box shape with the exterior, just hope it doesn't cost more than competitors in a class above like the Yaris Cross does.
    12
  21. Yay no more ugly radar with a sticker badge
    12
  22. Congratulations audi! You made a fashionable yet civilized car look like a GIANT MESS.
    11
  23. I think calling it the CX-30 is bound to be more confusing than it'd be to call this one the CX-4 as well, considering the current CX-4 is only sold exclusively in China.
    11
  24. It could be good if it didnt look like a Ssangyong Rodius
    10
  25. Nah, too fussy and the inside is a bit too video game ish and shiny
    9
  26. 8.8 seconds what isn't that really slow
    9
  27. "12 months" was it so hard to say a year?
    9
  28. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have full sound insulation yet
    9
  29. 2:35 This is an interior from some way old Honda, not the new Jazz.
    8
  30. Oh no come on Hyundai, touch sensitive buttons for the infotainment, really?
    8
  31. ugly. toyota tries too hard. PS when are they gonna give up those cheap looking blue stickers on the badges?
    8
  32. i'd love to see a Zenos E10R with a roof
    7
  33. So where's the new one?
    7
  34. Interestingly it actually looks more compact than the previous which is a huge positive in the modern car market where cars look huge
    7
  35. I don't know why the Tesla Model 3 keeps getting grouped in premium/executive car classes with serious expensive rivals, isn't it supposed to be basically VW-level in perceivable quality etc?
    7
  36. The future shouldn't come at the cost of ergonomics, and this car is the greatest example of why.
    7
  37. The wool option sounds absolutely fantastic, I absolutely despise leather interiors, that's why I'm very happy with my felt-style seats of my Rover 75.
    7
  38. Looks like a citroën
    7
  39. I mean yeah sure while that is true the model X base model already costs 10k more than the I-pace for worse build quality and materials and worse performance and if like you suggest picked a 100D model X, you'll be paying 15k more than a top level I-pace, and still not getting more. A P100D is 65k more than a top level I-pace. The Model X is for hauling kids.
    7
  40. >used m3 I don't think that's a very good idea
    6
  41. ...really? did you even watch the video? The cars are literally the same besides a couple tweaks to the driver setup and exterior and the fiat will somehow spend more time at the mechanics?
    6
  42. "Mitchigan"? Isn't it pronounced like "Mishigan"?
    6
  43. The cayman is a sports car, i think you mean the cayenne
    6
  44. Gotta love the youtube comment circlejerk of "ew new fiesta looks so ugly eugh" when polls prove it's generally considered better looking
    6
  45. I'm glad most of the awful fake vents are gone.
    6
  46. Still no android auto? Well, not like I'm their target customer anyway.
    6
  47. I mean... at least it's not as ugly as the countryman
    6
  48. Lexus cars are 100% meh. Just like toyota. They are just... good cars. not great, but not bad, just good cars. They look... fine, and they just are good but nothing special, they're so boring.
    5
  49. Citroen's going back to their good old days of being the funky brand
    5
  50.  @oliverstemp9132  The reason this gets a lower star (or the Sandero that was actually tested) is because it doesn't have a boatload of unnecessary safety system like lane departure assist etc. that are taken into account now. For actual crash protection, it's misleading.
    5
  51. Leather may be luxurious but it is not very comfortable. Glad Aston realizes this because so far I've really only seen this in the toyota century.
    5
  52. Oh look it's a fiat tip... oh
    5
  53. Is mitsubishi ever going to actually make a new car
    5
  54. Woah! I actually really like it! For the past few years I've thought Toyota has been way too hard to be interesting and just ending up looking a bit silly and outdated, this looks tasteful.
    5
  55. The statement "first luxury drop top suv" is simply marketing and isn't necessarily true. Range rovers are a mix between premium and luxury, and the nissan murano convertible (which has been on sale for a few years now) is very easily classed as premium if not luxury. So range rover certainly aren't late but they aren't the pioneers.
    4
  56. Gaming 4 Ohio It's called a range rover evoque convertible, should i start calling it a land rover range rover evoque convertible? because that's a mouthful. You don't need to call me stupid twice in one comment.
    4
  57. +nuskox Nothing, but they just sell them as a different brand name in the UK. Also basically holden and buick are also just opels but they have a few bigger differences.
    4
  58. ds4 isn't a hot hatch?
    4
  59. +BB-8 Where did you get that idea from?
    4
  60. finally a hybrid hypercar that doesn't either look like it belongs on a track or like it's batshit ugly
    4
  61. New generation?
    4
  62.  @EinkOLED  That's because they are outdated, they came out almost a decade ago and car journalists are still raving about them despite them being sold on borrowed time.
    4
  63.  @saddist1Gtown  Alright, let's call them Opels then, not Peugeots
    4
  64. And the issue is...?
    4
  65. Not remotely the same market, Land Rover is a premium brand.
    4
  66. What is this cheap horror game music?
    4
  67. 4:44 The Polo loses out in this aspect because the Polo now has touch sliders for climate, despite them being still in the lower section of the dashboard like in the Fabia
    4
  68. 4:30 I mean it's kinda like lane departure except worse. If you can't tell you're going the wrong way/veering from lane you need to hand in your license.
    4
  69. Before anybody compares the headlight design to the new 7-series BMW. This may share internals with the electric i7 however I would like to remind you all that Rolls Royce has had split headlights with the real headlight under the running light since 2003. That is way before BMW ever had it.
    4
  70. It looks better than the old micras but now it kinda looks like an angry wasp and not in such a good way
    3
  71. Come on you can't mention a Jaguar in this class if you're not mentioning the S90 especially since the S90 is a good car.
    3
  72. I HATE how they call it dieselGATE. The original problem where this was used i believe was watergate, but that was because it was the name of the hotel. Don't just add gate into everything IT MEANS NOTHING
    3
  73. The second one was a copy of a Tazzari Zero
    3
  74. As if the countryman didnt look busy enough in the first place
    3
  75. +mahi altayar I mean this is not like a cheap model by far, Kia's of now aren't a cheap brand, that's dacia. A kia is more desirable than a volkswagen for some people of course and what is more premium unless we're talking premium to luxury, which is only for the upperclass?
    3
  76. Honestly I want a hot version of this like the pro-ceed
    3
  77. RIP SLS this shit looks like a 911! and the roof is way too sloping. It's just a slightly mercedes 911 that lost it's classic look, it kinda just looks like a new version of an sl or something.
    3
  78. That fiat... <3
    3
  79. xeniosaias nah
    3
  80. "new"
    3
  81. Personally, my problem with the F-Pace is that it just looks like an everyday hatchback, and an everyday jaguar.
    3
  82. It's really only good offroad, it's not practical, it's not good to drive on roads and it's really expensive to buy and run.
    3
  83. uptheduffagain Whoomp there it is
    3
  84. This car is the opposite of self-awareness.
    3
  85. It didn't, but a lot of it's competitors (usually cheaper cars) have soft touch in the back.
    3
  86.  MunroM84  I'm not so sure about that unless the Grenadier is sold/imported in near as many markets as JLR sells cars.
    3
  87. 0:16
    3
  88. Nicola is presenting for Electrifying now.
    3
  89. I mean considering how bad Ford's dual clutch is it's probably the best decision they could've made
    3
  90. Why is it so prominent? Every other brand hides their and they slap it right dead and center and make it cut into the chrome grille
    3
  91. X1 - Ugly - 10k more expensive - Worse plastics - Bad image - Fwd BMW Yeah I'll take the 3008
    3
  92. If the 80's means that it actually works in everyday use, then I'll gladly be from the past.
    3
  93. I love how it's similiar but still unique compared to the other new Volvos. This is how you don't go too far with corporate design (cough cough audi)
    3
  94. Maybe the CLA hasn't sold well because small coupes don't do as well as large coupes or small sedans so they'll get rid of the cla and instead make an A-class sedan.
    2
  95. JamesPaolo Rodriguez Those are all cars from the past And i don't want a german lie
    2
  96. @Kaisukse971 Yes they are not in the same segment. That's exactly why the price is such a disgrace.
    2
  97. Imagine if they made like 100 of these and sold them that would be amazing
    2
  98. I don't get how the people who claim the i series of bmw is ugly in any way. They both look stunning! Amazing! You are so outdated and have no fashion sense if you think they're ugly.
    2
  99. I mean... It's not as much of a design crime as the 2016 prius but considering it's not the most practical in the class by any means and looks like a reject design yeah no thanks toyota can keep this. Serously what is with toyota trying to make their cars so edgy recently?
    2
  100. yes.
    2
  101. Why all the dislikes?
    2
  102. Carlitos Ramos Luxury cars usually don't have shiny plastic bits just saying. The steering wheel somehow disturbs me, because the proportions are a bit weird and it reminds me of a nissan steering wheel, and those are really ugly to look at. You might think how it's important but when driving that's what you mainly look at. By fussy i mean it looks like it's trying a bit too hard to look stylish, making it look a bit like one of those hot wheels cars.
    2
  103. Maybe the CLA name doesn't sell well?
    2
  104. It looks so great, i could actually consider one of these compared to the soft-top!
    2
  105. Reptilius Maximus The old Qashqai+2 did but the new one doesn't
    2
  106. Seriously if FIAT sells jeeps in europe why not sell chryslers and dodges? I'm finnish and if i should name a car i wanted right on the spot it would be a chrysler 200.  And ford should sell lincoln in here as well.
    2
  107. I'd agree, but remember that the F50 existed
    2
  108. Not sold in (most of) Europe though
    2
  109.  @fabian78  Off the top of my head both the Kia Ceed and Ford Focus do.
    2
  110. 5:08 They say it right there
    2
  111. Because they branched off Citroën only in 2016, so they're just 5 years old. They're selling decently all across Europe though.
    2
  112. @My 2bar Ye ik, just meant luxury cars with something more comfortable than leather in general there's a million materials out there
    2
  113. That camo is pretty useless cause you can see all of the lines and fixtures clearly, but yeah I'm very happy with the outcome. They've done a much better job translating the design language into SUV form than say Bentley.
    2
  114. The Focus RS hasn't been on sale for years now
    2
  115.  @ericokompatzki7110  Can apply to a lot more things than just golf clubs though
    2
  116. Except DS sales in Europe already matched Lexus back in 2019 and surpassed Subaru by almost double the sales, despite being only a 3 year old brand.
    2
  117. Yes because hydrogen infrastructure is right around the corner isn't it
    2
  118. Looks like a suzuki from the front
    2
  119. Where does the front license plate go?
    2
  120. It's a closed grill, it's just still there visually so it looks the same as the other 208s
    2
  121. The rear lights should either go the whole way across the back or stay on their sides, like this it looks like a mid-00's Lincoln but worse
    2
  122. This is a European channel, what would you expect?
    2
  123. Unfortunately probably not in line with US regulations since this and the Fiesta it's based on were designed for the EU market :/
    2
  124. The low placing of the grille, the shape of the rear all together just make it look bigger than it is, which is a big negative. Also there's nothing balancing out the oversized grille at the front as there are no separate foglights or anything in the lower corners.
    2
  125. Looks kinda meh
    1
  126. fawaz1165 yeah, but they're still boring
    1
  127. JamesPaolo Rodriguez Wow that's one car. one. In general these cars are quite boring in look, character, etc.
    1
  128. JamesPaolo Rodriguez Please note the styling as well though
    1
  129. So basically the maybach of land rover
    1
  130. It's fidel castro as far as i know
    1
  131. Eduardo Maffra thanks for fixing it
    1
  132. Why the hell are they even comparing a SUPERSALOON to an electric quick SPORTY SALOON
    1
  133. It's not like the italians are the best at naming cars in the first place but come on... Superfast??? Really???
    1
  134. Is it finally a good car? The earlier x1 was the most rubbish bmw ever
    1
  135. promodelred I mean they might've drove well but what you got for your money whoo you didn't even get infotainment and you got hard plastic in a BMW
    1
  136. I'm not sure but it's bigger than the Tiguan, i think in size it's more of a touraeg but with 5 seats as far as i remember
    1
  137. the front is better looking in the front but too much like a new subaru
    1
  138. If i had the money to buy this i'd buy it just so i could put some cheap cola brand into the champaigne fridge and then send pictures of that to rich snobs
    1
  139. Interior and rear are a HUGE improvement
    1
  140. Kay A Nah. But it's already on sale, pretty much everywhere. And no i won't get you one >:DDD
    1
  141. rubicon isn't sold in the UK afaik
    1
  142. If this is the replacement for the CLA with a new branding, it should work out. I haven't seen a single CLA anywhere. I don't know the stats, but it certainly seems like one of merc's less selling models (I mean probably many will agree it's from the uglier end of their range) so since the recent resurgence in popularity of small sedans maybe an A-class sedan would sell much better.
    1
  143. Gerald Holley they're going the way of "more angles the better" which makes it look like an angry robot wasp.
    1
  144. Okay, can someone tell me who designed this car so i can go to their house and burn it?
    1
  145. ***** I know, that's why i have a problem with it. It LITERALLY just means gate. As in the gates of hell.
    1
  146. +Dmitry L Yeah in the US Nissan already started selling a convertible Murano years ago
    1
  147. More like take on X4
    1
  148. Oh look another dickmobile
    1
  149. I mean, north korea is a place that you can't leave legally, has no contact with the outside world mostly etc. but cuba is a country where you can buy stuff freely, you can travel in and out freely, and you can leave the country freely, how are the two even comparable?
    1
  150. The front looks a bit like the peugeot 208
    1
  151. the back end kinda reminds me of a chevy alero
    1
  152. Carlitos Ramos but to each their own
    1
  153. Carlitos Ramos Just agree to disagree and it should be fine :)
    1
  154. Sooo just get the regular 124?
    1
  155. If i could get that i would sell it immediately and then buy the new mondeo. Better looking More practical
    1
  156. +Marco WY It's not a luxury suv
    1
  157. WHY MUST THE USE THIS NEW FRONT IN EVERY SINGLE ONE?!!! THEY'RE EVEN GONNA USE IT ON THE NEW KA, i mean you don't buy a citycar for the aggressive aston like looks do you ?!
    1
  158. No, this is not a large SUV, this is a contender for the qashqai, kadjar, etc the q7 is the seven seater
    1
  159. TheKmc121 IDK just by going to a bmw dealership and buying one? PS apparently the 40mpg is the ACTUAL reality mpg and bmw says their laboratory result is some over 100mpg maybe
    1
  160. Why is the grille soooooo big?
    1
  161. I mean i don't get why people think it's so ugly but let''s say it's ugly. The porsche cayenne was ugly too.
    1
  162. image
    1
  163. Aaand it looks the same as every other production lamborghini.
    1
  164. "new"
    1
  165. toyota hilux and ford ranger are pickups not suvs
    1
  166. Dave H Well okay then but they still aren't practical for the family which this vid talks about "you fucking tosser"
    1
  167. Honestly I couldn't care less about anything Ferrari anymore, trash customers, trash company and trash business practices. The car isn't even that exciting anymore.
    1
  168. @Renaissance Man not like I'd expect them to care
    1
  169. Volvo is Geely, Jaguar is Tata, Chrysler is Fiat, etc etc when will this get old
    1
  170.  @BeBarnee  I don't know if the big issue with diesel is as much nature-environmental as much as it is with diesel specific emissions that are more harmful in city environments, for people. Which is why cities specifically are banning diesel first and foremost where it is more prevalent. (I will never understand driving a diesel exclusively in city traffic where it's the least useful, since diesel is the best for torque and long distance efficiency)
    1
  171. It's not supposed to be a supercar
    1
  172. The Puma is the EcoSport replacement for the European market since the EcoSport wasn't really made for here and was a sales failure, if I remember correctly ford is still selling the EcoSport in the US.
    1
  173. Hey it doesn't look completely anonymous like the last one anymore! Now it just looks unoriginal.
    1
  174. The rear lights are much more of a success than the ones on the new X5
    1
  175. Isn't the Yaris the supermini and this is a city car
    1
  176. Unlike the pre-facelift it looks a lot more like an SUV than an MPV (although that would be largely reverted if an option was or could be picked to delete the lower colour difference) but still looks more allroad estate than SUV. Improvement, anyways.
    1
  177. Because they want the size and practicality of a hatchback but they either are getting old or otherwise have bad joints/backs or just simply like comfort and therefore prefer a car where it's easier to get in/out and you don't have to drop down.
    1
  178.  @jamie123b  Everyday people who appreciate ergonomics over style seems like a small market?
    1
  179. Inflation already accounts for over 1k of that, but for the rest it's really justified imho. Considering how much more safety, refinement and technology we get every year with cars, including this new i10 compared to the last model.
    1
  180. "New"?
    1
  181. Tbf the Lincoln Continental's front was taken straight off a Jaguar XF/XJ so it's not like it's an original look
    1
  182. @telbel4979 She's presenting for Electrifying now, with Ginny Buckley and gang.
    1
  183.  @jeanclaudecollin3056  Oh ouch that is quite a lot, way too much in fact. A renault clio which is in a class above is 20.000€ for a decent one here in Finland and 23.000€ starts approaching C-segment territory.
    1
  184. The justification generally is that the roofline is more sloping but this just looks like a normal sedan
    1
  185. 1:00 Minor detail, but I really want to see where the real rim starts and the aero cover ends cause it looks like you couldn't fit 5 lug nuts in there. Maybe a small-ish pattern? Although the wheels are of course large.
    1
  186. Jesus christ that interior is a boring sea of black plastic, even a Dacia has a more stylish/interesting interior
    1
  187. It's available to order now, now is 2021, so... It's a question of what you're used to, American media typically says cars revealed are for the next year not the current.
    1
  188. That looks exactly like a Faraday Future. What a ripoff. Well except this has more distractions.
    1
  189. Love the interior
    1
  190. Yes.
    1
  191. @Matt Boyd Teslas have VW level plastics for more than Porsche level money and don't get me started on the fit & finish.
    1
  192. It doesn't look expensive enough for the price. It looks like if I go to the dealer I could pick a top spec one up from the showroom for about 22k after haggling a bit.
    1
  193. ...should there be something unique about a Toyota?
    1
  194. It looked pretty bad in the press photos but looks much better in motion like this, nowadays almost all press photos make the cars look bad
    1
  195. 1:25 That's a very interesting way of saying almost a decade old and horribly outdated
    1
  196. On one hand (as a sedan owner) they do look nice, but unless you have perfect joints they're a pain to get in/out of and you can't put anything (at least not easily) in the trunk unless it's a suitcase or golf clubs. I went to get a small armchair for my mother a while back and I could only fit it's footrest into the trunk of my 5m long sedan whereas the whole armchair fit into the seller's yaris.
    1
  197. 12,500£ in today's pounds or 2010 pounds? There's been a lot of inflation but also I think it's justified because all cars rapidly have more and more tech.
    1
  198. Jeremy Nechytaylo Compared to the 3008, not the Jag. The jags interior is trash
    1
  199. AAHH NO IT'S GONNA EAT MEE Oh wait no that's just a ferrari
    1
  200. Some designers need to learn how to edit.
    1
