  1. Very slick interior.

  2. They don't actually scrap them. They just sell them to other countries that don't care about pollution.

  3. When the ECQ was released, despite there being no official tests, the press were saying that first impressions suggested it had the longest range. Yet it was discovered here that it has the least range.

  4. You better watch out Matt I think you just made Arya Starks kill list.

  5. Even the Taycan catches fire.

  6. Putting the instruments on the steering column instead of a binnacle in the dash is a good idea cost wise. They don't need to make two dashes for left and right hand drive or alternatively put removable panels on each side of the dash. Good idea as long as the screen does not get washed out in sunlight.

  7. The BMW is great to drive?? Despite the overriding message in the review that the XE was the best to drive. But of course the BMW is The Ultimate Driving Machine...

  8. We've seen all this before in the VW diesel adverts. They did exactly this, held a handkerchief up to the exhaust and claimed there was no soot. The stuff you can see is not as harmful as the micro particles and nitric oxides you cannot see. It's just the same lie they came up with last time.

  9. +Ottavianus Augustus It's not just the body that is aluminium, the chassis is as well. But you are right that aluminium bodies are not new, Land Rover were making aluminium bodies in 1948. Jet engines, disc brakes, pneumatic tires, marine chronographs, carbon fibre manufacturing, graphene...

  10. American people when British do an American accent?

  11. I like the shape, front and rear. Fresh, stylish and well executed.

  13. You're cheap Matt.

  14. +Стефан Србија Saw new Audi TT and thought how a beautiful swan had turned in an ugly duckling. What happens is a designer comes up with an elegant new design. The second generation comes along and if necessary they perfect the design. After that they just add creases and extra lines or accentuate features until it becomes a caricature of itself.

  15. So the nose lift works off the satnav. That means, when you are in an urban canyon, with speedbumps aplenty, the satnav will have no idea where you are. The nose will lift at random places, but never where you need it.

  16. When Matt drives over to the other cars to listen to the exhaust sound, it's a bit too much like dogs sniffing each others bottoms.

  18. In the world of decimal you are 2000th in line to the throne. Everyone give Arnold a big hoorah.

  19. @A real bisexual petrol-head Because Germans are the best engineers in the world don't you know and German cars are the pinnacle of human achievement, the finest of the fine. Or so they say. Plus the company has a history related to deadly gases.

  20. Jeep started the graphics on the windscreen. Nobody called that tacky.

  21. The first ever vegan interior?? Is cloth upholstery not vegan? Or was it made out of vegans?

  22. It's not a joke. It's true.

  23. Ferrari and McLaren both have a drift feature that allows a slip angle. Did they both manage to develop these technologies independently or did they just use the same third party system? The most credible answer is that another organisation developed the technology and they are both badging it as their own.

  24. Google DentWorx Stowmarket that guy can help you out.

  25. It's not pretty is it.

  26. Keep thinking they must have sunk a lot of money into this. They will have to sell it for quite some time just when electric vehicles are on the march. For most situations I reckon electric will be better for offroading. Not for expeditions or military use but for everything else.
    1
  27. That was a pathetic off-road challenge. As for an electric Defender: It's a no brainer. They should do away with tradition completely and put the cab as far forward as possible, do away with diffs and have an electric motor for each wheel. Do everything that can to give it big wheel articulation, and then fit mahoosive tyres.

  28. I think the sound would get tiresom pretty quickly.

  29. What's wrong with that? My contacts list is full of 'Dave plumber' and 'Bob electrics'

  30. Those cars sound like hairdryers.

  31. Did the I-Pace have the recent software update applied? Jaguar claim you can get an extra 12 miles of range.

  32. 5:40 The nit picking is now off the scale. The things you are finding are soooo trivial it only serves to indicate what a fantastic car this must be.

  33. So why isn't the IPace in the lineup?

  34. 12:39 If I press this button here... The whole panel moves because it's held in place by jelly. No song and dance about how it's not screwed together very well? But of course, it's not British, so let's just ignore that and talk about Teutonic build quality.

  35. Why no I-Pace?

  36. Did the designer come from Disney? Because that car looks like a cartoon.

  37. I reckon those fivers are what Yanni uses to ingest fizzy beverage, probably rolls them up first, like a straw.

  38. Group test! EQC, E-Tron, I-Pace, Model X.

  39. So the number plate B007 SPC was a reference to James Bond. There was I thinking it was an attempt at BOOT SPACE.

  40. So many its okay, does a good enough job. Sounds like the iPace is better.

  41. If BMWs kidney grilles get any bigger their X cars will end up looking like one of these.

  42. This is the kind of thing Land Rover need to do.

  43. Seems good value for 60K. The first Evoras were a bit heavy with modest power. They only got better.

  44. It looks so ugly. But apart from that, very good.

  45. Try it against a similar G Wagon. G Wagon can told the Defender up a hill, Defender cannot tow the same G Wagon up the same hill.
    1
  46. Just one small point, that was 300kph not mph.
    1
  47. There are a lot of things here that everyone else did long ago. It's hardly genius to follow way behind everyone else.

  48. I spy a new Defender in this video. You need to do one of those offroad group tests, with this against the new one. I'll bet this wins. I mean it accelerated faster than the claimed acceleration of the new Lotus Emira.

  49. I'm afraid both the BMW X7s, old and new, looks like they have a genetic defect. Quite the ugliest mutant on 4 wheels.

  50. The 720S has beaten everything since it's release 3 years ago, even cars recently released. Now the 765LT is about to extend that lead.

  51. The G-Wagon is bouncing around all over the place. It's not even offroad.
    1
  52. Should have put the Macca in track mode for the second test. The Tesla was in the highest performance mode so why not the Mac?

  53. Double wishbone suspension is what plenty of other manufacturers have been doing for decades. And that wing was done by McLaren already.

  54. The new crop of EVs are all very similar in abilities. Almost nothing separates them apart from styling and gadgetz. Clearly they are all assembled from the same components manufactured by the same few tech companies in the far east. If EVs become popular watch the big car manufacturers become second to semi-conductor companies.

  55. Porsche execs are being put in prison in some countries over their Diesel engines. Not surprising they don’t sell them anymore.

  56. It's irrelevant, they should have done a vehicle with traction control and live axles. Then they have all bases covered, the capabilities would be multiplied. But the real mistake they made was making a ICE vehicle when it should have been an offroad EV with a motor for each wheel. 200+ miles range is plenty for farm use and if you want to overland take a Discovery. This just cannibalises sales of the Evoque and the Discovery.

  57. @Astal They are built in Austria by Magna Steyr and the range is better than the e-Tron.
    1
  58. Everyone expects the Tesla to win. The surprise was the Kia and the I-Pace outperformed all the German rivals. It outperforms them in just about every measurable way. Reinforcing my belief that their products are overrated, overprice and inferior quality.

  59. Just need to make sure the motors do not produce any ozone.

  60.  @thepurdychannel8866  It's true, some of them burn very hot as well. They will out a hole in the road.

  61. But can you fit a bottle of refreshing beverage in the door nets?

  62. ICE vehicles do not restrict the speed when the tank is reading low so why do manufacturers feel the need to do so for EVs?
    1
  63. It's taken them 3 years, now they can enjoy their time in the sun but not for long because the 765LT is out in November.

  64. The G-Wagon can tow the Land Rover up a hill but the Land Rover can't pull the G-Wagon up the same hill.

  65. Best review of all so far

  66. Matt loses remainer style.

  67. That mini looks like a taxi cab
    1
  68. It looks superb, apart from teh back, which looks a bit too American. The the sides look like a Lotus Evora, and the front looks like a Porsche.

  69.  @_J4CK4L_  I choose that word for a reason

  70. 3:28 'you will never see one exactly the same...' Given that most people just choose silver with a black interior, I think that is unlikely.

  71. Will it clean the road while you drive? I'm assuming its a dual cyclone so you don't have to change the bag.

  72. I read charging to 100% and decharging to 0% does adversely effect the batter life. Most manufacturers keep 20% in reserve while Telsa allow you to use the full battery capacity.

  73. The Lambo driver jumped the start and the McLaren driver was asleep at the wheel.

  74.  @Kamran1bc  Not directly causing deforestation> Except for all the forest cleared to grow soya beans for their milk substitute.
