I just got an XC60 B5/AWD Momentum w/19” Pirelli tires. It has adaptive cruise w/pilot assist, HUD, 360 camera and integrated Android OS w/Google maps. By far, this is the nicest car I’ve ever owned! Glad to see it take 1st place in this comparison.
Great comparative, congrats! I’ve just owned an Xc60 T8 Recharged R-Design (407 hp combined) and its absolutely impressive. Really love it! Greetings from Brazil 👍🏻
Forgot to add that the Discovery Sport is also a full off-road vehicle with all the credentials. You’d not take an XC60 or X5 off-road yet I do with my DS. The DS isn’t an AWD it’s a permanent 4WD though yes all wheels are driven; but in terms of what people call an AWD, it isn’t.
Can you do this again using spec for spec /price for price match. I know the ranges are similar, but the cars you showed and reviewed definitely were not.
Any petrol or PHEV/Hybrid Is fine for mainly urban duties & the occasional long trip. Other wise the diesel variants are the way to go for regular hwy runs . Can't beat an oilers efficiency
What is storage space like? one frustration is having a young kid the pram comes everywhere, annoyingly some SUVs dont have enough storage space to fit a pram flat in the boot. would be great to see this in reviews for "family" SUVs
Exactly what my wife was asking and they didn't even cover it...on paper the LR has 200l more. I was leaning towards the Volvo but this is virtually a deal breaker.
Yes! Volvo xc40 also wins its category because it offers a PHEV ...... seriously this is why Drive is dying - total garbage / the journos should be embarrassed
This “ Car of the Year 2021 “ series is utter rubbish, with so many inconsistencies !! The Disco Sport on test is a 2020 MY car Why not test the new facelifted 2021 MY DS that is now in Australia ? The DS u have is the 2020 MY entry level P200 S model. All of the new / updated 2021 MY DS now come standard in R - Dynamic trim, and have various Interior upgrades, particularly the all new excellent Pivi Pro multi function display. And Significant engine upgrades etc etc The base entry level 2020 MY DS u have is on 18” wheels. Of course it’s handling dynamics won’t be as good as the BMW or Volvo. The BMW X3 u have on test is a high spec M40i model. Sports Suspension ? 19” or 20” wheels Of course it handles more sporty then the DS. The Volvo also appears to be a high spec model that is on 19” or 20” wheels...shod with Pirelli P Zero tyres... Comparing Apples to Oranges ! Ridiculous Very unfair to compare last years ( now superseded ) entry level $ 67 k DS model, to much higher spec models of the BMW and Volvo, that are ( a lot ) more then $ 80 k ? A mid to high spec 2021 MY DS with 19” or 20” wheels and the Adaptive Dynamics suspension would have fared much better. And Can someone wake up James Ward from his 10 month sleep.

I know Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Amir Xzavier thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Again - not sure how the XC60 wins against the X3 in this category. Sure it is an insulating drive but the only car on test which is actually pleasurable to drive fast, slow etc is the X3.
Like most things pleasurable it is personal. The x3 for the money has so many missing features that come standard in the xc60. That’s why I bought one in feb.

Yours is a gas ⛽️ gussler
Volvo Xc60!!! yeaaa!
Volvo ageing like fine wine 👍🏼
Base spec Discovery Sport to a Top spec X3 M40i couldn’t be anymore unfair
Good point.
And no mention of the +2 seats :)
How can you compare the cheap Discovery Sport (without R-DYNAMIC package) with the BMW X3 with M package and XC with R-Design package?
XC60 for me as well

I'll take the Volvo, thank you.
Rare of VOLVO xc 60 is GOOD👌

Volvo x60 the best !

What engine/power was in the Volvo?
What is storage space like? one frustration is having a young kid the pram comes everywhere, annoyingly some SUVs dont have enough storage space to fit a pram flat in the boot. would be great to see this in reviews for "family" SUVs
Exactly what my wife was asking and they didn't even cover it...on paper the LR has 200l more. I was leaning towards the Volvo but this is virtually a deal breaker.
The Discovery Sport has a huge boot with the 3rd row folded down and easily holds a pram.
It really help I’m planning to buy Volvo comparison is great 👍 for me.
Happy it helped Mohamed!
Volvo is by far the best value for money.
How to make hummus
Volvo xc 60 está muito a frente há anos .
Volvo 💪💪💪
LR - best 4x4
The disco sport is shit defender or full size disco is way better
Every video - "tough one, hard to separate"....
Love the Volvo👌👌
Volvo👍👍👍
Disco is the car that disappointed me. I own one that's in the garage for repairs. It's not of high quality at all. I ordered a new Kodiaq Skoda
I’ve had a Discovery Sport for 3 years and bought it 2nd hand. Love it. It’s absolutely brilliant and it’s great off-road which I use it for also.
Nice olecranon bursitis
Chinese owned Volvo had showered so much money to them

I guess the new SQ5 missed the cut. Shame.
No offering from Mercedes-Benz?? No GLB

19” or 20” wheels
Of course it handles more sporty then the DS.
The Volvo also appears to be a high spec model that is on 19” or 20” wheels...shod with Pirelli P Zero tyres...

Wake up James
The GLB came to Australia in

Agree. They lost all credibility a few years back. That’s why I ended my subscription and simply started watching Carwow lol

BMW for me especially if it’s the 40i which has the best motor in the world.

@@73willyg great decision
And yet the X3s looks are hideous. Though the Merc might take that cake.
I’m looking at getting an xc60 or disco sport in the next few months. Cant consider a beemer. Sorry, in the uk they are driven by c#*#s. 😂
BMW X3 is the Best hands down, I am a proud owner of a X3 and my opinion is completely bias…..😂
so
sponsored by Volvo....
Salty Germans are always cute.
are you saying that it's not possible that the Volvo is simply a good vehicle?
@@superflea7219 no, but the Land Rover ist in my opinion the much better Car.
@@Rattlepiece im a Land Rover fan 😉 in Germany we say: If you dont have a clou Just shut the fuck up!😘
@@112Spacemarine And like so many other German things it gets lost in translation.
Volvo? Chinese company?
What?
Volvo easy choice ❤
