rock so it’s not a proper suv is it coz they should go off road too but I like the Volvo better and I like the stelvio too so pls don’t hate at me I just prefer the Volvo
I'm the one who would choose the Giulia over any other sedan, but I like the XC60 more as a SUV. They just did a better job than anyone else with the design, never seen a SUV so balanced and harmonious. I would like to point out that this two cars are in my opinion both way ahead of their German rivals. Design and safety (especially passive safety, since we're talking about a solid Volvo and a lifted-up Giulia which is the best car for driver protection in both EuroNCAP and NHIS crash tests). Interior are also gorgeous, the AWD system looks like it can drag you out of a really bad situation, practicality is on point. I think this time the Germans could use a couple of design lessons from the Swedish.
Also, I think that although some SUVs can legitimately go off-road, most people who buy them prefer the higher driving positions and all-wheel-drive option. Personally, unless I needed an SUV for some reason, I would choose a Volvo V60 wagon over an XC60 crossover any day.
Benjamin Doyle so she could buy Van... she could Seat the same high but could have much more space- room..and it would be cheaper to drive...less fuel...much cheaper tires etc. People are stupid.
@@zepter00 Yes, that is an option, but harder to drive. Not as much of a high-quality/premium feeling in a Transit vs. Volvo, either. On paper that is a good idea, but in practice I'm not sure how it would work.
Something it is not right... Stelvio may have a more rigid set up but, if you look from 0:36 to 0:45 ,when the two SUV are at the same speed and conditions ,look at how the Volvo wheels rebounds and loose contacts and crash inside the wheel arches (plus the ondulations and crashiness of the entire car )versus the stelvio, i really can't imagine how the volvo can have better traction and safety to overtake the alfa.
Simple, the Volvo was being driven considerably quicker than the Alfa on the rough terrain section, Mat was tip toeing over this, hence being passed easily, it was only when the Alfa got to a smoother part of the coarse could it regain the lead !! so on the rough stuff the Volvo is a clear winner ! but either way, it's all a load of bollocks, because no one would ever drive their own car like that, so total nonsense !!
Simply Matt was driving the Stelvio into its mechanical possibilities, while Chris was destroying the Volvo, that infact broke suspensions and engine mounts during the test.
The Volvo isn't faster neither on nor off road. This was a typical fake setup. It has more power and better suspension. Most probably, better traction as well with the Alfa Q4 system ...the Volvo is more comfy though, I give it that.
The XC60 doesn’t stand a chance against the Stelvio either on or off road. Due to traction, weight, engine, chassis, you name it. The Volvo is more comfortable and that’s it. This is a fake result as it usually is on Topgear.
Alfa driven by Mat, tip toeing on the rough stuff !! no wonder the Volvo pissed passed the Alfa !! need I say more !! The Alfa wouldn't have survived the rough stuff if it had been driven by Chirs, no tip toeing with him !! a win for the Alfa by default !! lol
Paul iceman no Chris is stupid and the volvos suspension is better so Chris could do more without his spine coming out the top of his head butt Chris was stupid
Anybody can see that the Alfa SUV has got a much better suspension system, in real life the XC60 Volvo which jumping like a kangaroo has no chance to overtake in that situation
mesa's artworks er no the Alfa is going slow coz it’s suspension isn’t as good and Matt will either break the car or his spine the Volvo has active air suspension like a range rover “the king of off-roading” so you cannot dis the volvos suspension
No SUV is good off road (maybe the range rovers and jeeps) they just try to combine good on road and decent off road but obviously the don't excel at any of them
valenesco45 yes they are, but a saloon/sw is the same or even better (it depends on the car) ofc you can't use a saloon in off road and that is the plus of an SUV
I cant really agree that the stelvio looks better it looks really boring to me but yeah i believe that alfa romeo has more powerful engines than the xc60 xc60s best engine is t8 awd twin engine and it has 407hp can someone tell me whats stelvios most powerful engine?
As Jeremy clarkson said the saloon that which the stelvia is based on is lighter cheaper and faster but if he had to get one any suv he would have the stelvia
Just finished watching the last episode of s25. It was a great season! I preferred it to The Grand Tour. Great cars, great production, Matt is great! Chris and Roury are also good. I see they are creating nice chemistry. Hoping they can find a nice test track as the old one is getting demolished. Looking forward to the summer season.
I hear the Fiat sorry Alfa, was sold for scrap after the filming !!! whereas the XC60 was repaired for a couple of hundred quid and is now set to go on for another twenty years of reliable motoring !!!
@colinf1951 yet somehow two Volvos broke in this episode and no a single Alfa. Honestly this Alfa unreliability should have died 15 years ago when the Giulietta and Mito came out, hell even the 159's were very sturdy cars. And this Alfa has a lot more in common with Jeep than it does with Fiat
2000 miles - lightly used - well taken care of
Both vehicles will end up at dealers listed as "executive demos"
The Volvo actually broke the suspension there and they had to replace the car.
Both Volvos, they broke two.
Chris knows how to drive a car that isn’t his
The suspension actually broke, he did really go fast 😂
@@fillefilander engine mounts to be precise
RIP shocks
Vehicle Virals *GRASS*
Kelly Dunois Grass or not. RIP shocks
Vehicle Virals i only make that joke when a car comes off from higher ground
SUVs are supposed to resist to this type of driving
RIP Engine mounting
The two are very good looking SUV's tbh
Sales men: like new, never abused
You forgot to attach some caravans like James and Jeremy.
This Alfa is very good
the volvo has adaptive suspension and the alpha does not have but in asphalt the stelvio is the king of the compact suvs
rock so it’s not a proper suv is it coz they should go off road too but I like the Volvo better and I like the stelvio too so pls don’t hate at me I just prefer the Volvo
@@AI-qd4vb no but they’re built to be able to go off-road
The Stelvio has adaptive suspension as well. It depends on the trim. 😊
Now that's what you call drive it like you stole it.
0:25 Tokyo off road drift with a Volvo😂
Mazok that's great 😂🔝

I couldnt agree with that statement more, both excellent cars designed with different purposes in mind.
...and from Italian!
Miss the old Top Gear...
Nobody cares, not even in 2020.
We just gonna ignore the fact that the Volvo activated its seatbelt tensioner when the stelvio did nothing
The volvo will need new front bumper, and engine mounts.
The alfa Romeo will need new oxygen sensors, and transmission since it is italian.
Love my Stelvio!!
Alfa: yay I'm winning
Volvo: I am inevitable
Volvo hasn’t the chassis, the suspension, the traction nor the engine to win against the Stelvio either on or off road.
This was a fake cooked result.
@@miks564 but it has a vastly superior AWD system and if that is the 4cyl Alfa it has more power.
@@north5103Where did you get the information about Volvo 4x4 setup being more efficient than the Alfa Q4?
I'll tell my grandmother to try this in her new XC60
Benjamin Doyle
Why would your Grandmother buy an SUV ? they are designed for families, but with the ability to go off road ?
She has some slight mobility issues, and the higher ground clearance is easier for her to get in and out.
Also, I think that although some SUVs can legitimately go off-road, most people who buy them prefer the higher driving positions and all-wheel-drive option. Personally, unless I needed an SUV for some reason, I would choose a Volvo V60 wagon over an XC60 crossover any day.

One of the best races on Top Gear
0:38 This is not testing a Car. But you're killing it!
I feel guilty even after watching one video of the new Top Gear
It’s not that Volvo handles better but driver of the Volvo is a much better driver.
Alfa Romeo.

So you like Rust Buckets then lol

Alfa romeo stelvio ❤🍀🇮🇹
0:22 and 0:40 why am I not surprised the Volvo engine mounts broke
This segment looks like the old TopGear Audi Q7 vs Volvo XC90.. Very cool stuff.

VOLVO 💖
The Volvo made a comeback because Chris was driving it
Stelvio the best
fake test
Giuseppe Gabellone Why?
This is like a low budget version of the Grand Tour episode with the Stelvio vs Macan vs Velar
0:41 see his seat belt
Electric pretentioners fired
Just Volvo being Volvo
Sandy BoleYT this happens in my xc60 when I go over a sharp hill at speed... its very quick.. and very welcome.
@@ChrisLeiter little bit of reassurance that it will always try to keep you safe
The XC60 doesn’t stand a chance against the Stelvio either on or off road. Due to traction, weight, engine, chassis, you name it.
The Volvo is more comfortable and that’s it.
This is a fake result as it usually is on Topgear.
@@miks564 ah I see no one took notice of your earlier comment on how the results were fake
Can never go wrong in the Volvo.
Yeah you can. Twice. lol
BanterEdits in a fairness, only a bowler wildcat could go that fast over that terrain and be perfectly intact.
...sure but you can not love your Volvo either..
Yea, that's why the engine fell out twice LOL.
Nick Magee - Brown
Or you know, an Alfa Stelvio or RR Velar, which did the exact same thing and survived fine.
0:25 Now THAT'S a skid.
0:24 tokyo drift with volvo lol :D
Being Italian and Swedish, this made me proud, this made me laugh, cry and everything in between ahaha
I hate to say it but the Joey was better than this new lot of presenters , BBC really cocked it up.🐓🐓
What happens to these cars after test driving?
BBC
B-Bring
B-Back
C-Clarkson
Is the xc90 better than the xc60 off road?
Mid range Stelvio is faster than most powerful Volvo in real world. Both great cars, just dofferent philosophy
Alfa Romeo Stelvio is the best, but the driver is awful
EDU you are on my mind
Matt is ok but Chris is better
How to destroy the most beautiful suvs on the market in 1:23 minutes. GG top gear 😂😂😂
To save everyone trying to find out, the amazing Alfa Stelvio wins hands down and the Volvo breaks down needing replacement car. Alfa 1st!
Alfa driven by Mat, tip toeing on the rough stuff !! no wonder the Volvo pissed passed the Alfa !! need I say more !! The Alfa wouldn't have survived the rough stuff if it had been driven by Chirs, no tip toeing with him !! a win for the Alfa by default !! lol
@@Colin623 The Alfa did survived the beating where as the Volvo broke.
What you did to the Volvo is considered a crime
I think Chris just has bigger balls Matt
Paul iceman no Chris is stupid and the volvos suspension is better so Chris could do more without his spine coming out the top of his head butt Chris was stupid
Both cars are beautiful

Volvo xc60 Plug hybrid Alacam
Chris Harris Please make a full review of the Volvo xc60
Stelvio ❤❤❤
I've always wondered with these luxury suv r they actually any good off road or r they just a fashion accessory?
Paddy Magenis Same
No SUV is good off road (maybe the range rovers and jeeps) they just try to combine good on road and decent off road but obviously the don't excel at any of them
BUBA SUVS are very comfortable though, so I think they're pretty good on long distances. However im not sure about the fuel consumption.
valenesco45 yes they are, but a saloon/sw is the same or even better (it depends on the car) ofc you can't use a saloon in off road and that is the plus of an SUV
I have the older version of xc60 with r design package and d5 awd its 235hp and its good ofroader
Better than a crash test, at least the cars didn't take massive damage.
The Volvo did broke suspension and some engine support parts.
Stelvio looks much better and has better performances
I cant really agree that the stelvio looks better it looks really boring to me but yeah i believe that alfa romeo has more powerful engines than the xc60 xc60s best engine is t8 awd twin engine and it has 407hp can someone tell me whats stelvios most powerful engine?
yes, twinturbo V6 from Ferrari ...505hp...bye
IlKönz the Stelvio is built in the ferrari and maserati's factories. The volvo is built in china.
Adam Macejko ok
bboy thor parkour oh no i thought alfa romeo was a bit different with own engines and stuff guess not than :(
Alfa! 😍
now, where is the part of the video that shows Chris breaking the second XC-60 of the episode? Some aluminum bolt or something broke
Next week, Chris and Matt join the Paris to Dakar rally lol
Why do people hate new Top Gear so much...
Now I wish Top Bear was a real show.
Because both Chris and Joey are out of their comfort zones. The former is trying too hard to be a comedian and the latter is too American
Because Joey is a no talent hack with a very good agent and the chemistry just isn't there. The only thing worse was the pathetic USA version.
Antilaakeri gay joke alert
Personally it is growing on me,
hey someone to share the full episodie!
Swedish Power 💪🏻💪🏻
Plz what's the name of this wonderful place ?
Real Stelvio win! :)
michał michał suck
As Jeremy clarkson said the saloon that which the stelvia is based on is lighter cheaper and faster but if he had to get one any suv he would have the stelvia
Wasn't this series supposed to feature F90 M5?? It shows in the montage on E01.

@@marcofava How is that if we know that Stelvio is using modified platform from Giulia and Fiat Multiair, Multijet and Ferrari engines ?
what the fox does not reach makes them hanging! stelvio is the best of all times!
i know you shouldn't drive like this, but it looks a lot of fun
Chris Harris, the destroyer of Volvo!
How did it looked like Chris Harris' head was taken from another footage and put on top of someone else's driving footage with CGI? :D
If you watched the episode you know what happened to the Volvos suspension after that treatment 😂 Italian power 🇮🇹💪🏻
Congrats on the latest season, actually really enjoyed it :) long live top gear
Not fair ! They used the 21 inch rims on the Volvo and smaller rims on the Alfa .
I'd go for the Stelvio, no matter what...
The best SUV in the world
Both vehicles obituary for the suspension was already printed out before this
