@@timglascock5558 The two Land Rover's you see here are based on an older steel platform (which is a derivative of the Ford D8 platform), the F-Pace meanwhile shares the same all new almost fully aluminium ground up architecture with the Range Rover Velar called the D7a. The Range Rover Velar would be even better because the standard coil spring models feature additional front suspension travel, and the optional air suspension increases the ground clearance as well
Keep this series up, it's lot more interesting than many standard reviews, although some models are old but the technology is still the same in new SUVs so 👍, eagerly waiting for next shootout.
I've owned BMW SAV's for years and was always impressed with their ability to travel even on pure ice roads where I live in the winter season. They have a very responsive traction system along with that 50-50 weight distribution which doesn't hurt either.
@@SUVBattle The new ultra system in their smaller cars doesn't hold up as well as I would have hoped, but their nicer models still have great systems! I wonder if the SQ5 has the same Ultra system, or one more akin to the Q8?
The Discovery Sport is an evolution of the Freelander. It’s not really a Discovery. So for me not a surprise there. The Freelander was not an proper off-roader as well. The C3 on the other hand was a nice surprise. My only complain is that the electronics are taking out all the fun from off-roading. 🤣🤣 I still off-road using my old Defender and a Discovery 1. At least is more challenging.
Interesting how the F-Pace brother would do - the Velar has an air suspension and some engines (6-cyls) are offered with optional locking diff at the back. It also has the terrain response 2. The Discovery Sport is NOT a Land Rover Discovery. It uses a different compact platform. The Discovery is offered with the the V6 diesel 306PS, which has a superb torque (700Nm) and is also offered with optional locking rear diff which makes night and day difference for climbing rough terrain.
The main difference in the performance between both the Evoque and Discovery Sport is due to the differences in Terrain Response. The DS, when placed in Grass, Gravel Snow still did well, however, that program is designed for very light off road work where the ground is firm but slippery. Perfect for wet roads, ice, wet but firm grass, gravel etc or on roads when it is pouring down with rain. It has a very long and cautions accelerator feel also which isn’t ideal for the terrain shown. Mud and Ruts would have been the preferred Terrain Response program for that terrain. MandR is perfect for more severe off road work, where long suspension travel is needed. The vehicle also starts off in the ultra low 1st gear rather than 2nd as it does in Grass, Gravel, Snow mode. Terrain Response 2, when set in Auto tends to configure itself automatically to Mud and Ruts mode by default when it senses it is off road, which could be the reason the Evoque and the DS performed differently as per the above explanations.
Yeah but the electronics and Center stack are unreliable as heck I would not buy anything from Range Rover Jaguar. The X3 in contrast is a very reliable SUV at this point with the I drive and xDrive system along with the ZF 8-speed are Unbreakable.
@@xhoeldaci9534, while the Disco Sport is indeed offered as 7-seater, it has never been offered with the 3.0 v6 diesel and weight is not such a problem. It's just the fact it is not a Discovery, totally different platform. Most component are shared with Evoque.
Back in 2019 I just drove all these things and ended up buying x3. This is really a well-designed SUV all the way around but I was impressed on its off-road performance. BMW has done a lot with the xDrive system over the years.
Да, Дияс.., - браво ! На английском такого качества точно из обзорщиков СНГ никто видеообзоров не делает !!! Смотрим тебя всегда, ждем новых "батлов", - они реально интересны !!!
I have a 2021 X3 30i and it impresses me more and more every day. The handling is superb, traction control is better than my RAM 1500, and that 4 cylinder engine blows me away with it's quirkiness and power. Usually I'd never get a 4 cylinder. I was hesitant on getting the M40i instead but I'll say 100% the 4 cylinder will be more than good for 90% of people out there looking to get into an X3. I'm on the highway and don't even realize I'm pushing 140. The cabin is so quiet and comfy too, and I've got the 21" wheels and standard suspension. I enjoy the ride better than my girl's mercedes GLC
I really love your videos, its better than all the other type of reviews because you see it live as it happens, as the car struggles and suffers or conquers and passes. Amazing WORK!!! I knew it was going to be great even before i watched the video.
Velar shares F-Pace platform. Both are not in the same class as Urus, X6, Cayenne, etc. (RR Sport fits here). BMW X4, GLC, Stelvio and Macan are about the same size as Velar/F-Pace.
I doubt the Urus would make it on this test but could have a different outcome though. Bring the Sequoia, Navigator, Escalade,Yukon Denali, Infinity QX56 and test them out off road
for real, so happy seeing this review. All the BMW enthusiasts are chirping me for getting the 30i instead of the M40i and I'm honestly just so impressed with that 4 cylinder engine. Half the time I forget it's even a 4 cylinder, I'm doing 140km/h on the road and I don't even feel the speed picking up
Depends on which quattro you are reffering to. Real torsen quattro with rear locking diff is better than xdrive. But the new quattro ultra in the regualar q5 sucks.
WOW!!! this is the channel I didn’t know I needed!!! this was such a great review of so many platforms. The Macan was surprising. I wonder how different the results of an Audi SQ5 would be, as it does not have the “ultra” system but rather a traditional Quattro system. have you tested the sq5 in another video?
I was surprised by the Porsche, given the Cayenne did so well... I was wondering whether the Macan failed because it was the GTS version (made more for racing), and how a standard version would perform... Although, it probably would be the same. It also surprised me, that the mid-sized models (Q5, Macan, etc) did worse than the flagship ones. (Q7, Cayenne) Thank you for the video, and keep up the good work!
Thats strange what Q5 and Macan surprised you with bad results comparing to flaships, having in mind that besides the Quattro badge there is nothing similar in the all-wheel-drive systems between them.
@Ethan Pae i almost bought Macan, so I really like the vehicle. However the awd system is basically the one from yhe 911. It is tuned for on road stability and dynamicsm
The Macan may do well against AR Stelvio or Maserati Levante. I';m surprised by the F-Pace though, it's also a rival car and it had no problems climbing.
F Pace doesn’t have off road mode?? That’s odd both mine have it!! It’s not called off road but rain ice snow or Jaguar adaptive surface control on the new one. Absolutely brilliant car. Out of the 50 or so cars I’ve owned the F Pace is fabulous
@@SUVBattle I want to see some luxury SUV on this obstacle like Bentley bentayga and Aston Martin DBX. Something that more possible is Velar and new GLS and new defender.
This is a great video. I'm not shocked by how well the X3 performed. I have a 2013 and have had it out in the desert a few times where cars cannot go and it's performed outstanding, IMO. I had to chase a smart ass friend who was trying to make me keep up with him in his 4Runner and I was able to no problem through very tough gravel roads and negotiating some challenging ups and downs. I never lost control and it climbed perfect. This was with Potenza RE960AS RFT tires.
The disco sport was interesting. I wonder if they have tuned the TCS and AWD for the refresh like the face lifted Evoque has. I thought they would have performed similarly it clearly that wasn't the case
May be the Evoque is lighter. I'm unsure whether the Disco Sport had updated software and the Terrain Response, struggling so much when it's essentially a beefed up Evoque, it's weird.
Awesome realistic test. I am surprised by how the F-Pace preformed. But I'm not surprised how the Discovery Sport preformed. ( I'm a Landrover owner and fan, but in my opinion, it never deserved the Land Rover badge ) Looking forward to seeing more of this kind of tests!
@@SUVBattle I would like to see the not so glossy 4x4 workhorses like the Volkswagen Amarok, Toyota Hi-Lux, Nissan Navara, Volkswagen transporter or Crafter 4x4, Iveco 4x4. Mercedes Vito and sprinter 4x4. Or in general, the more heavy-duty utilitarian trucks and van's which are not used to bring the children to school in a glossy and save environment close to home :) And what I also would like to see is a test with how these 4x4 going to deal with a decent payload or with a loaded trailer attached. People like me don't buy a 4x4 for fun or show but for a purpose and utility.
Surprisingly entertaining video! You earned a new subscriber. Plus, you have no idea how much I was cheering for the Toyota RAV4. I really cant wait for your video on the compact crossovers.!!
The Discovery Sport is the same platform as the Range Rover Evoque. The Disco is heavier but assuming the same electronics & differentials, the noticeable performance difference between the two indicates something else going on - tyres, incorrect terrain mode engaged or just bad driving.
A well designed test, especially the X3 retest. Overall I am impressed with most of them; 4WD has come a long way. I am not surprised the Macan did not succeed - its not designed for that kind of off road driving, and its better suited to optimising grip on road at speed or "soft road" surfaces.
The paradoxical thing is that Volkswagens themselves did pretty good job on this climb. Tiguan, Touareg, Amarok were tested here, videos to come soon hopefully.
@@SUVBattle sir actually the cars that i want to see has been included in your next video list accept range rover velar Can you please include that too!!
Acura is not popular in my region, thats why it's too hard to find it. Lexus NX will show the same result as RX350 in the previous video: ua-cam.com/video/0H_UxhRXgec/v-deo.html
@@SUVBattle Always interested in Japanese ones ( Patrol, land cruiser, Prado, lexus... etc), not because I’m a big fan of them, just want an proof that they are not that great... also, I think you haven’t try jeep or wrangler?
It’s complicated, the problem as well with Land Rover, they don’t maintain standards. The q5 is made in Mexico and is tbh seems cheap, the q7 i think Is still made in Ingolstadt and the Quattro system is far superior. I promise.
I love these reviews, they’re honest and thorough. Obviously none of these cars are true off roaders, they’re for very light off roading and gravel. I’d feel bad taking them off road like that but it does put into perspective how capable they can be if you’re willing to beat them hard. The Discovery Sport is unworthy of its badge, but the Evoque performs well. The Macan was even worst than the Discovery Sport, and the RAV4 was nearly as bad. The Jag, Range and BMW are pretty decent!
Thank you for your feedback! And to answer to your question, the point is that the obstacle for X5 was more difficult than for X3. If the X5 covered the same track as the X3, it would have shown a good result.
Best car tests I have never seen in UA-cam. As mostly all SUV are driven in road, is there any test to see how their behavior is when raining or snowing but on road. Thnaks
Great video! Congrats for your work! I know that in other parts of the world sales are not that great for proper off road compact/medium SUV, having rear locker and low range or a very good system like the X3 . I think that the existence of a model in that range will bring some sales but also will rase te awareness of the manufacturer. i would love to see such systems on more low budget manufacturers. Right now only X3 and Jeep Cheerokee but these ones seems to sell like almost luxury cars. It would be great to have some cheaper models also from Nissan, Hyundai, Toyota, Mitsubishi, some off are quite experienced in 4x4 teritory. Cheers!
Towing my Boat with X30d 12 times 1200 miles to Mozambique from South Africa Deepsea fishing trips .Never had a single issue ever 140 000 MILES NOW Tonnes of fun on the sand Love my X3.... I reccomend the 30 diesel auto 8sp units Very very potent powerful engines
Great video, though I would not have expected the X3 as a winner (I own one myself and enjoy every drive). One should point out, that the Q5 will have a "true" Quattro with one of the bigger engines (I think 3.0 upwards), adding an optional sport-lock-differential on the rear axle, furthermore the X3 in the sportier versions (40i/d & X3M) also comes with a sport-lock-differential on the rear axle as standard, which can not be ordered for "smaller" engines.
@@SUVBattle Hi I was quite like to see those cars in the snow if possible. The three I am interested most is X3 (I own) and F-pace and Cayenne (which I might move to soon) but I know really the cayenne is the next level up from these as it has some offroad stuff (think its locking diff)
Truth is not so many people care that much about them. If you are doing that kind of off-road, you would get a car build for that, it's obvious. Comparing them to most of the cars in the last videos (erm, SUVs) would be like putting the Wrangler, Jimny and Land Cruiser on a race track, or a twisty road, or even on the Autobahn doing 200+. They would be so out of their depth there that you can't compare it with the occasional light off-road the tested SUVs usually do. In my country we call the class "parquet lions" for a reason :)
@@NikolaiTsekov there are a lot of people who want to see custom done offroad vehicles but nobody is uploading those types of videos to youtube at watchable quality. There is one dude in India who uploads that kind of stuff and he has around 500k subs with not so good video production skills. That guy uploads in Hindi language so his audience is limited to India. If someone starts to do that in english, they can grow exponentially. This channel (SUV Battle) has great production quality and knowledge of vehicles so there is high probablity that this can grow.
@@JeetS1, I replied following the train of though "show people how a vehicles should perform". No, they shouldn't, considering street are not purpose-build off-roaders. BTW, they already have one video using not so stock cars: ua-cam.com/video/0b90iSdRaqw/v-deo.html If you speak Russian, you can find plenty of off-road battles, BTW. They do them a lot because.. idk, I doubt they really need to show off expensive SUVs doing it, but there are plenty of mobsters with nothing to do... :) As for real offroaders, sure, if they manage to collect some at the same time. I guess every country has a dedicated form with people that would agree to help.
The Evoque is lighter and shorter and the tyres are touching the ground better. All of this things are better for off-road. The Disco is different and should be drived differently, and for sure is not about traction system, is about weight, suspention and torque and a lot of things that are making the diffrence. They didn't tell us nothing about ESP, on or off. Great job BMW!
The Auto mode in Evoque would have picked Mud and Ruts mode. Which will be why it done better than the Discovery in Grass Gravel Snow mode. Most likely ESP was on, which is very bad for off roading in any 4x4.
@@kyleb5518 I would point out that the Disco Sport in the video shares the same platform with the last generation Evoque. The current generation Evoque in the video (2019 and after) rides on a new platform that has upgraded terrain response 2 system.
F-pace : No Air Suspension, No Off road, No terrain mode but outstanding perfomances! Good Job.
That’s because Range Rover engineers worked on the F-Pace. Unlike Discovery, it’s a proper SUV.
no air supension? Even though it's a SUV this expensive!
My girl just got a 2020 and it's sick!
Probs coz it got JLR's own AWD system unlike the Disco Sport that has a Haldex system, works well on tarmac not so in off road conditions
and they do have a mode for off road mine was able to tow a trailer while having a wheel In the air so id say im very impressed with. this street trimmed suv
Pretty impressive from the JAG running on 22 inches and summer tires !

@@SUVBattle thanks for asking and full filling our demands.
This is a great video. I'm not shocked by how well the X3 performed. I have a 2013 and have had it out in the desert a few times where cars cannot go and it's performed outstanding, IMO.
I had to chase a smart ass friend who was trying to make me keep up with him in his 4Runner and I was able to no problem through very tough gravel roads and negotiating some challenging ups and downs. I never lost control and it climbed perfect. This was with Potenza RE960AS RFT tires.
Thank you for your feedback! Any preferences about cars for the next videos?
@@SUVBattle You guys need to get your hands on an early aughts GX-470. That would be cool.
Great content . Cheers from Canada
hi, Canada! Have you seen announcements of new videos? Which of it more interesting for you?
You guys are great. Cool and interesting content. Your transition to another language deserves respect! You are cool!
The disco sport was interesting. I wonder if they have tuned the TCS and AWD for the refresh like the face lifted Evoque has. I thought they would have performed similarly it clearly that wasn't the case
Totally agree with you. This test was clearly showed the difference between LRDS & Evoque. What do you think about BMW performance in this test?
May be the Evoque is lighter. I'm unsure whether the Disco Sport had updated software and the Terrain Response, struggling so much when it's essentially a beefed up Evoque, it's weird.
Wasn't driven correctly
Subbed right away awesome channel with really interesting comparison
Thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see?
@@SUVBattle thank you bro just bring up them all u have good line up👍
Awesome realistic test. I am surprised by how the F-Pace preformed. But I'm not surprised how the Discovery Sport preformed. ( I'm a Landrover owner and fan, but in my opinion, it never deserved the Land Rover badge )
Looking forward to seeing more of this kind of tests!
Thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see on this obstacle?
@@SUVBattle I would like to see the not so glossy 4x4 workhorses like the Volkswagen Amarok, Toyota Hi-Lux, Nissan Navara, Volkswagen transporter or Crafter 4x4, Iveco 4x4. Mercedes Vito and sprinter 4x4.
Or in general, the more heavy-duty utilitarian trucks and van's which are not used to bring the children to school in a glossy and save environment close to home :)
And what I also would like to see is a test with how these 4x4 going to deal with a decent payload or with a loaded trailer attached. People like me don't buy a 4x4 for fun or show but for a purpose and utility.
Surprisingly entertaining video! You earned a new subscriber.
Plus, you have no idea how much I was cheering for the Toyota RAV4. I really cant wait for your video on the compact crossovers.!!
Thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see?
Quite surprised by the jag!
Wow I owe a Macan S and that was hurtful to watch 🥲🥲
Can you please show the difference in the previous generation Q5 quattro and the latest Q5 quattro?
I think the permanent quattro is better than the new ultra quattro, thats why the Q8 perform better than the Q5
change of headlights and brake lights at the back
infotainment system is now touch screen
improvement of the hp like 30 (i cant remember)
thats it.
Please continue uploading this content. It's a great review and rather more thorough than most reviews
Thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see on this obstacle?
I imagine an X4 would perform the same as the X3. Is that correct? Subscribed!
RAV4 really impressed me
The Discovery Sport is the same platform as the Range Rover Evoque. The Disco is heavier but assuming the same electronics & differentials, the noticeable performance difference between the two indicates something else going on - tyres, incorrect terrain mode engaged or just bad driving.
The only channel doing meaningful off road tests. A big thank you.
Cant wait for the next one :)
Amazing video!! And amazing channel!!!. GOOD WORK!
Thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see on this obstacle?
A well designed test, especially the X3 retest. Overall I am impressed with most of them; 4WD has come a long way. I am not surprised the Macan did not succeed - its not designed for that kind of off road driving, and its better suited to optimising grip on road at speed or "soft road" surfaces.
The paradoxical thing is that Volkswagens themselves did pretty good job on this climb. Tiguan, Touareg, Amarok were tested here, videos to come soon hopefully.
@@bakhtiyarpakhirdinov2461 all those vws handle terribly compared to the macan
i love this video and the previous suv battle was also nice
Thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see in next videos?
@@SUVBattle sir actually the cars that i want to see has been included in your next video list accept range rover velar Can you please include that too!!
@@SUVBattle i like your accent of speaking too the whole video gets more enjoyable with that accent
No Acura RDX or Lexus NX 300 ?
Please include those vehicles. Tnx
Acura is not popular in my region, thats why it's too hard to find it.
Lexus NX will show the same result as RX350 in the previous video: ua-cam.com/video/0H_UxhRXgec/v-deo.html
SUV Battle yes we would like to see the RDX 2019 or above , thanks
Thank you Diyas!!! these are REAL tests for these machines i have NEVER seen anywhere else!!! good stuff
Thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see on this obstacle?
Ohh BMW x3 so impressive waww great job BMW
This series is genius!!! *You guys are awesome*
Thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see on this obstacle?
@@SUVBattle new Bronco when available, Jimny, Wrangler, Toyota Prado, Land Cruiser, Land Cruiser 79 series, and more conventional SUVs
I love these videos. Any thought of trying cheaper SUVs or subcompact crossovers?
As I mentioned in the video i plan to make a video with RAV4 and it's competitors like X-Trail, Outlander, Sportage etc.
SUV Battle I tryed a Xc40 with bad tyres and i was impressive. Did you test it ?
@Atol_pp In my experience XC40 did same like BMW X3 in this video. It showed a very good result. Same like X1.
Great video that track really put the cars through their paces !
Thanks BMW X3 you made me proud again...
No other channels is doing such a comparison, keep it up 👏👏
Great thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see in the future videos?
@@SUVBattle Always interested in Japanese ones ( Patrol, land cruiser, Prado, lexus... etc), not because I’m a big fan of them, just want an proof that they are not that great... also, I think you haven’t try jeep or wrangler?
I'd love to see a comparison of a bit older models like GLK vs similar years X3 and Q5.
Good work sir bravo , real life test ،not just highway driving
Thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see on this obstacle?
I honestly thought the quattro system was better than the bmw x drive until now.
same here. Especially after a previous video where Quattro outperformed BMW.
it is better if you spin flat around a snowy round about, different use case
It’s complicated, the problem as well with Land Rover, they don’t maintain standards. The q5 is made in Mexico and is tbh seems cheap, the q7 i think Is still made in Ingolstadt and the Quattro system is far superior. I promise.
This Q5 doesn't have original quattro system based on torsen. Quattro Ultra is based on Haldex tracation like many other SUVs.
I love these reviews, they’re honest and thorough. Obviously none of these cars are true off roaders, they’re for very light off roading and gravel. I’d feel bad taking them off road like that but it does put into perspective how capable they can be if you’re willing to beat them hard. The Discovery Sport is unworthy of its badge, but the Evoque performs well. The Macan was even worst than the Discovery Sport, and the RAV4 was nearly as bad.
The Jag, Range and BMW are pretty decent!
I own a BMW X3 and it SMOKES my $47,000 Ford F-150 as far as all wheel traction goes .
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Жаль нельзя поставить больше одного лайка! Very professional presentation of material, thank you!
Thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see on this obstacle?
Hey mate where is the subaru?
It will be in the future videos. It's already filmed and waiting for production
@@SUVBattle Hell yeah! Really looking forward to the mid-priced comparison. This channel is awesome!
Am sure the Subaru can make it. its all-wheel system is superb
I AM EXCITED WITH SUBARU
Another amazing video!! Bravo!!! This channel is the best!
Why do you think the X3 did better than the X5 in the previous test?
Thank you for your feedback!
And to answer to your question, the point is that the obstacle for X5 was more difficult than for X3. If the X5 covered the same track as the X3, it would have shown a good result.
Plz next time
TOYOTA Land Cruiser...
OR
LAMBORGHINI Urus...
😢 Am waiting... Hope u will du
Land Cruiser will be in upcoming videos where I compare it with its classmates.
@@SUVBattle Thank u for the feedback... love ur channel.. Keep it up...
Land Cruiser LX would be better...
Best car tests I have never seen in UA-cam. As mostly all SUV are driven in road, is there any test to see how their behavior is when raining or snowing but on road. Thnaks
Thank you for your feedback!
There are plans for a test on the landfill with snow. But on public roads in snow or rain for sure will not.
Jaguar f pace 🔥🔥❤️
Great video! Congrats for your work!
I know that in other parts of the world sales are not that great for proper off road compact/medium SUV, having rear locker and low range or a very good system like the X3 . I think that the existence of a model in that range will bring some sales but also will rase te awareness of the manufacturer.
i would love to see such systems on more low budget manufacturers. Right now only X3 and Jeep Cheerokee but these ones seems to sell like almost luxury cars.
It would be great to have some cheaper models also from Nissan, Hyundai, Toyota, Mitsubishi, some off are quite experienced in 4x4 teritory.
Cheers!
Jaguar
I was very impressed by results of Jaguar!
@@SUVBattle next video solution luxury subcompact SUVs
Towing my Boat with X30d 12 times 1200 miles to Mozambique from South Africa Deepsea fishing trips .Never had a single issue ever 140 000 MILES NOW Tonnes of fun on the sand Love my X3.... I reccomend the 30 diesel auto 8sp units Very very potent powerful engines
I’d love to see an 2006-10 grand Cherokee with Quadra drive 2 in this comparison. Perhaps with a 2020 and not quadra drive.
Very good review and comparison!
Good english alsi.
Congratulations, Kazahstan 😀
I love jaguar
Jag showed a great result!
Great video, though I would not have expected the X3 as a winner (I own one myself and enjoy every drive). One should point out, that the Q5 will have a "true" Quattro with one of the bigger engines (I think 3.0 upwards), adding an optional sport-lock-differential on the rear axle, furthermore the X3 in the sportier versions (40i/d & X3M) also comes with a sport-lock-differential on the rear axle as standard, which can not be ordered for "smaller" engines.
Clearly, Macans are built for posing at a posh ski station 😂 which I never doubted btw...
Take a closer look at how the driver stomped on the gas pedal, that’s not the right ways to drive over those terrains!
This is fantastic probably the best 4x4 comparison video I've ever seen. I have a x3 so incredibly surprised
Great thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see in the future videos?
@@SUVBattle Hi I was quite like to see those cars in the snow if possible. The three I am interested most is X3 (I own) and F-pace and Cayenne (which I might move to soon) but I know really the cayenne is the next level up from these as it has some offroad stuff (think its locking diff)
Can you do a video comparing purpose built offroaders (Custom land cruiser, jeep wrangler, Suzuki Jimny)? To show people how a vehicle should perform.
I am planning similar videos.
By the way, have you already watched a similar video that is on the channel?
Truth is not so many people care that much about them. If you are doing that kind of off-road, you would get a car build for that, it's obvious. Comparing them to most of the cars in the last videos (erm, SUVs) would be like putting the Wrangler, Jimny and Land Cruiser on a race track, or a twisty road, or even on the Autobahn doing 200+. They would be so out of their depth there that you can't compare it with the occasional light off-road the tested SUVs usually do. In my country we call the class "parquet lions" for a reason :)
@@NikolaiTsekov there are a lot of people who want to see custom done offroad vehicles but nobody is uploading those types of videos to youtube at watchable quality.
There is one dude in India who uploads that kind of stuff and he has around 500k subs with not so good video production skills. That guy uploads in Hindi language so his audience is limited to India.
If someone starts to do that in english, they can grow exponentially. This channel (SUV Battle) has great production quality and knowledge of vehicles so there is high probablity that this can grow.
@@JeetS1, I replied following the train of though "show people how a vehicles should perform". No, they shouldn't, considering street are not purpose-build off-roaders.
BTW, they already have one video using not so stock cars: ua-cam.com/video/0b90iSdRaqw/v-deo.html
If you speak Russian, you can find plenty of off-road battles, BTW. They do them a lot because.. idk, I doubt they really need to show off expensive SUVs doing it, but there are plenty of mobsters with nothing to do... :)
As for real offroaders, sure, if they manage to collect some at the same time. I guess every country has a dedicated form with people that would agree to help.
Great Off-road channel! looking forward for next battle of crossover SUV
I am also surprised that the Evoques attemp was so much better than the Discoverys attemp.
Especially considering the evoque and disco sport have an IDENTICAL suspension geometry, engine, gearbox, and system and programming
The Evoque is lighter and shorter and the tyres are touching the ground better. All of this things are better for off-road. The Disco is different and should be drived differently, and for sure is not about traction system, is about weight, suspention and torque and a lot of things that are making the diffrence. They didn't tell us nothing about ESP, on or off. Great job BMW!
The Auto mode in Evoque would have picked Mud and Ruts mode. Which will be why it done better than the Discovery in Grass Gravel Snow mode. Most likely ESP was on, which is very bad for off roading in any 4x4.
@@kyleb5518 I would point out that the Disco Sport in the video shares the same platform with the last generation Evoque. The current generation Evoque in the video (2019 and after) rides on a new platform that has upgraded terrain response 2 system.
Класс! Это по бумажке или в стриме ?!
Surprised and impressed by how the X3 did very well. I have an X3, and I will never take it off roading 😂
😂 👌🏽
I have an X7 and we (all family) took it off roading at the Mojave desert. It did pretty good, but I was super worried about the rims 😅
@@DanDan-tt6gv 😂 X7 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
