That last comment "I know that right at this moment it is not out because I haven't written or filmed it yet" cracked me up. Always so much enthusiasm and genuine-ness in your sarcasm
My experience after using the following petrol SUV...
On road drive and ride quality:
1. Landcruiser (1997, 2020) [the best silky smoothness riding in the most tranquil environment]
2. Pajero (2019) [comparatively rough and tumbling ride]
3. CX9 (2013) [huge wind and road noise, engine noise is obviously noticeable]
Country side off road handling capability:
1. Pajero [better agility]
2. Landcruiser [heavy body weight]
3. CX9 [forget it, not for off road]
We were recently shopping for a 7+ seater and ended up with a 2011 Lexus LX570 - 8 seat 5.7L V8 petrol. We average about 10k km per year and do lots of short trips for school runs, groceries etc and a dpf diesel was going to be too problematic. Fuel consumption is not great (20-24L per 100km around town) but it's extremely reliable and capable for towing and offroad. Despite the thirst, I'm still expecting to come out on top long term compared to turbo diesel (fuel pumps, injectors, dpf). Overall, it's a great car we couldn't be happier with our purchase.
Cheaper to fix a dpf then pay for an extra 10L per 100km lol
Toyota Land Cruiser, Nissan Patrol, Mitsubishi Pajero, and Isuzu MU-X are the ultimate SUV legends. I especially love the Mitsubishi Pajero because they’re underrated and good value for money.
Love my late model 2016 Colorado7. 7 yrs of flawless ownership. No warranty claims, no issues. 7.4l p/100km freeway. Can't complain
I’m guessing your Colorado spent its life stomping pavement? Almost every Colorado owner I know, has experienced at least one major issue😂
Everyone I have spoken to with these Colorados have loved their cars and said they were fantastic.
I got the gen4 pajero because it ticked every box.
Tough reliable fuel efficient and great off-roader
AK-You should be doing the new Top Gear Australia. Did they ask you?
Top gear is just a bunch of guys goofing around in cars. This is more about used older vehicle advice and how they hold up over time with common faults of different variants.
Definitely rate the Mitsubishi Outlander, got myself a used 2019 top spec (VRX) for a solid price & it's awesome.
Can't wait to see you guys review one.
Our family np Pajero just clocked over 400,000 a couple of days ago. Still runs like a dream.
Would love to see a Prado J90 review! That's a lovely blast from the past.
We here in SA have a very similar fleet of national vehicles as the Aussies. So your show is absolutely invaluable for us! Loving your work!❤
Ford Territory... back row is for kids only, but its cheap, loads of parts and knowledge.. petrol or diesel 6
One of the best driving SUV around... still
Not an off road person so bought a Santa Fe as the modern equivalent of a 70s/80s station wagon/estate as they aren't really manufactured any more. My MY19 TM was comparatively loaded with features compared to a euro model. As long as you're honest with yourself about what you will actually do with the car not what you wish you were doing (off roading to the top end) this style of vehicle is a great option, filling it full of kids, their friends, musical instruments, sporting gear, junk runs. Yep the modern station wagon.
Just had to lay my 2004 Ford Terri to rest. Looking at maybe a Kluger now..miss my Territory though...that thing was falling apart inside and had the suspension fixed more times than I care to remember but it was awesome and never let me down engine wise. Had 400,000 km's when I made a decision not to fix the suspension again.
We had a 2016 Kia Sorento SLi turbo diesel for 5 years and it was excellent. Awesome on fuel, plenty of power and torque and the pearl white paint was real easy to keep looking good.
You missed the Holden Acadia perhaps take one for a drive....... We also have a Kluger 3rd gen.... mostly reliable.
Ford territory barra 💪💪💪
the only used SUV I would ever consider buying, simply for the fact of the reliable drive train, and cost of parts, did i mention it was RWD and the Barra.
@lobsterwhisperer7932 it's a shame the rest of the vehicle wrapped around the drive train was just pretty average
Been looking at the Holden trailblazer. Is there a full story on it??
I’m surprised that you didn’t mention the CX-8, as it’s 7 seat, available in petrol and diesel and can be a cheaper alternative. Would be great if you could do a video on the CX-9 as you have mentioned it in many of your other videos. Other cars that would be interesting would be the CX-8, Kia Picanto, Suzuki Ignis and Swift
Just wondering when you mentioned Mazda CX9, it came to mind on the Mazda 8, any chance of reviewing sedan based 7 seater MPVs like the Mazda 8, Honda Odyssey RB1/ RB2, or the Toyota Alphard perhaps?
Hello redriven I love the content,am watching from Africa Kenya and I wanna buy a Subaru ecigs crossover please advice
Really enjoy this time of the week, bloody fantastic
another great vid lads..
What about the ssangyong rexton g4 ?
Had the mis-fortune to be a passenger in the mid-row seats of a Toyota Fortuner for 360km trip on a motorway. It was an awful ride. Felt every bump and crack in the surface. Might as well have been on a tractor. Glad to see Mazda CX-9 is there.
Cx9, xc90... at least they are comfortable
8:57 is the LandCruiser a mishap here or is my English not good?
Thanks for another great review btw!
We have a 09 CX-9 absolutely love it.
we have a 2019 honda odessey, 7 seat, full leather, second row captains chairs, thick plush floor carpets, brilliant car. I know its not an suv but its a classy car
Why don’t you do a video on 2011-2017 Mercedes Benz Sprinter and 2018-current Volkswagen Crafter Vans the LWB Dual rear wheels variant
My dad over 28 years, has owned 2 lexus' - RX 450h & NX 350h(lexi?), a GLC250d, a Prado, a Forester, an Aurion, a Falcon, a Commodore Statesman.
out of all these vehicles his all time favourite was the 2004 v6 petrol Prado GXL. Gave him 200k kms of trouble free motoring and held its value extremely well. When i was a kid, we went on countless roadtrips with the Prado ranging from rural to the snowy mountains to coastal areas. Even did some proper off-roading where it was submerged in muddy water hood-deep and driven across sand dunes. When he sold it, his next owner was extremely happy with it and even texted him to say thank you for selling him such a good car. Legendary reliability and low cost of ownership, sans the extreme usage of fuel- 25L/100km.
Hold up 👐... Did you say 25L/100km? 👀 Damn!! I drive a Honda CRV, and with my style (Heavy footed), I get max 12L/100km. The highest consumption car I'm willing to accept would be around 15L max. Salute to Your dad, he's brave, hey. 🙌
@@desmondmasikhwa1700 yeh he got the petrol cause diesels back then were extremely noisy and smelly. The tranny was an absolute dinosaur of a 4 speed slushbox, he really shouldve gotten the manual but he really really hates it even though hes able to drive manual
@@desmondmasikhwa1700 yeh, he went through the double fuel tanks (180L total capacity) in 1.5 weeks, mostly doing school, grocery and extracurricular activity runs for 2 kids. Highway consumption wise, it made it from Sydney to GC (about 1000 kms vast majority of it is 110km/h cruising) in little under 180L. Given it was an oldschool slushbox it just made the fuel economy worse than if he had gotten a manual. Its a heavy parachute on wheels, carrying 2 or 3 passengers almost all of the time too.
Another great video Adam, I have a car you might be interested in reviewing. I have a 2010 Subaru liberty GT wagon gen 5, give me a buzz if you are keen on reviewing an awesome fast estate
You’ve missed a great car that even you liked in the Skoda Kodiaq. Its off-road ability is quite surprising when optioned up and the electric towbar option so convenient. I can even fit 3 guys 180cm tall one behind the other in all three rows!! Lloyd
16:30 its hard to take your videos seriously when you get the facts wrong.
The 3.7 V6 in the latter CX9 was still a Ford Duratec V6 - not a Mazda engine
The water pump failure issues on the 3.5 are also prevalent on the 3.7
Cheers for the correction!
Any reviews on the Nissan Pathfinder??
What about the CRV 2019+? Seems to be great if the oil dilution problem is solved.
Hi Australia,
It's so unusual to see Isuzu's name come up in your list as that name brand hasn't sold any vehicles since 2009 although commercial trucks are still sold but are rare to see on the road.
I have a 2016 Pajero Sport Exceed , great vehicle for the price & reliability decent towing & off roading , good all rounder if you can tolerate its ugly rear end , but can highly recommend Prado 150 series my Dad has one , been around Australia one & half times towing a large Caravan not one single issue absolutely faultless awesome car !!! 👍
Love my Paj Sport Exceed, but with three kids across the middle seats, I wish it was at least 5cm wider, and that the seat anchor points were not at the back of the cargo bay
Can you do an r51 pathfinder
Anyone recommend kia carnival or grand carnival? Once i figure out whats the difference
We need a review of a chopped 200
Enjoy your content .
Do an Isuzu Mux redriven review
I think you meant the HAVAL H9 not the unibody 5 seat H6
What about mk1 Volvo XC90 with seven seats.
Full redriven on mu-x please
Can you do the Mercedes c63. The original one with the 6.2 litre v8. There now $35K +
Head bolt failures is what's keeping me from considering these vehicles.
Mazda CX8, you should review it.
I currently have a Pajero 2014 (NW) - a great vehicle but time for an upgrade since it’s 10 years old. So I’m now looking at a land cruiser Prado 2022-23 model, because I’ve driven the Isuzu MUX and the Mitsubishi Pajero sport and didn’t like them and I’m not convinced by the specs of the new 2024 land cruiser Prado. So when the new 2024 Prado lands on the Aussie market, I’ll look out a low Km 2022 or 2023 Prado VX, hopefully there might be a little bit of a price drop… maybe?
30k+more for the Prado. Good car if you can afford it
Should add that my company just about has all the cars mentioned, and I’ve driven all in a variety of terrain and for long road kms too. I thought the Pajero Sport would have been better, but with the radar sensor located in / behind the front badge emblem, phantom shadows or glitches randomly turns the cruise control off, or sets off the crash alert and for no reason puts on the brakes (its believed the after market roo bar, of bug smear on the badge emblem may be the cause - nonetheless its distracting and dangerous). The Isuzu MUX just felt like a small truck - not at all smooth, and no real comfort refinements. I can travel for 10hrs in the base model 2022 Prado GL and arrive at my destination not feeling stressed or stretched. Yes Toyota Tax is a thing, but worth it, I reckon. .
@@paulmifka89 - yes, Toyota Tax is a thing. They hold their value though. It looks like the new design 2024 Prado wont offer the option of tyre on the tailgate and long range fuel tank.
If you aren’t going off road don’t get the Ute based ones. Got an old CX9 because I can’t afford diesel CX8.
A Toyota Kruger or Prado. If you can ignore the Kruger’s thirst, the reliability makes up for it.
But just love the Tucson no matter what so love the shape and the build quality ❤
Best 7 seat suv... that's like being the best looking bloke in the burns unit.
If you wanna move people, get a people mover, they do a much better job.
No doubt that Hyundai Santa Fe DM generation is still the best looking among the list
Agreed. Still looks better than all the new ones.
My pick, the Volvo XC90.
Way better package than any of the other luxury 7 seaters for the price and with an after market warranty to cover any potential mishaps, it’s happy and safe motoring for years to come.
If you’re a family needing 7 seats - a people mover is the first and best option and there is absolutely no mention in this video.
Carnival, Odyssey etc are infinitely better people haulers than 7 seat SUVs with terrible 3rd rows
Listen to the very beginning of the video
Not a people mover video a 7 seat suv video
You're very correct, but this is a video about 7 seat SUVs.
Mitsubishi outlander! Seems good value and fuel economy
Kluger Hybrid--------- daylight
I didn't see the Honda Pilot.
XC90 D5
Had plenty of Kia/Hyundai diesels - never had an issue with them. I think a majority of the motor issues have been the 2.0 petrols.
Thanks for the great report Adam - I don’t have a cardigan or straw hat so Kluger is not a choice but being a Hilux owner the Fortuner (in brilliant red) is a no-brained for me - Toyota is the benchmark and Ford is the brand for the uninformed.
I'm fitting a LSD to my Territory and a Torque locker to the front diff, see how i go with that i hope it's all good 👍
The Pajero is also EXTREMELY thirsty hahahahaha. If you do any amount of highway driving 😅 ...
The v6 is but so are all the v6 competitors.
The diesel is very efficient and definitely the pick
You missed an entire generation of Klugers LOL
Someone in the comments called it, AK Morris for Top Gear Straaya.
Sorry Adam but Nah a 7 seat SUV still screams “I’ve given up on my hopes and dreams” and just adds ‘but I’m in denial’
Nah bro that's a people mover.
Suv can still take 5 kids and the boat
Got a Y62 just over two years old if your interested
Steve, can you shoot us a message on insta or fb?? - AK

The only marque I was surprised wasn't on the list is Subaru but in a way I wasn't surprised as well.
It'll be interesting to see if Genesis and Infiniti make the best or worst luxury lists or not.
Looking forward to Sunday's video as per usual guys and keep up the good work 👍.
Cheers mate!!
Once the battery from the EV 9 it's not longer useful for the car will be reuse for energy storage and after that recycle to create new batteries. Will never end on a landfill. Neither the rest of the car, as any other modern car. Due to the makers effords
According to the CSIRO, 97% of lithium batteries end up in landfill
I think the Pajero Sport would be a safe bet.
I really enjoy this channel because there really doing a service for the automotive industry the people that view and doing there part for the environment by showing people what they can buy in the second hand market keeping older cars on the road alive then see scrap yards... we are a world that just throws things away we don't have the support or infrastructure for EVs nor do we have a way to dispose of batteries in a environmentally responsible way or make replacement batteries cheaper so people keep there EVs longer. So until the government pulles there finger out there dots I'm very happy supporting and keeping our petrol cars alive....that's what it takes as it stands in, REALLY protecting our environment...I was totally aboard until the mention on the EV9 😂 but I can forgive just this once
Thanks so much for the kind words mate!
The Ford Territory should have been mentioned.
With such a low birth rate how many need a 7 seater ?
are you suggesting we make friends walk? 😀
Your doing well if you have 6 friends, until its your ' shout '.
If you can get a Sequioa in your country (either they were sold new in your country or as a used import), I'd suggest those over the full size Land Cruiser. You get the same engine and transmission as the Land Cruiser (if you get the petrol V8s) for cheaper, plus you get more interior space, especially in the third row, as they're bigger than the Land Cruiser. They're also pretty good offroad. Look for any 2001-2021 models in excellent condition with service records and no frame rot.
Alas, Toyota USA does not make a Sequoia in RHD for overseas markets.
The 5.7 litre V8 is rather thirsty though! Fuel consumption would not be wallet friendly 21-24l/100km around town.
The "best" 7 seat SUV without question is a series 4 Land Rover Discovery (or a full-fat L405 RR if the cash were available). It runs rings around all of the options you've provided.....It's just not very reliable. And here's my minor gripe with this excellent channel: you're using the wrong word. You're not necessarily presenting the "best" 7 seat SUVs (that list shouldn't have a Colorado anywhere near it), but instead the "most reliable" ones. I get that the TH-cam algorithm isn't into that as much as the word "best", but I think it needs to be acknowledged a little better.
just wanna dropout and say that i find it ironic that you can just blur out the front of those SUVs in the thumbnail and they all look basically the same 🤣
Haha, this is true
12:58 Hyundai/KIA engines blowing up because of missed service/ maintenance 💩
15:35 Ps, how cars can get awards when new.... without being properly tested in the real world over time & miles/KMs 🤷
Before I watch, I know it must be all Japanese car😂
Mazda CX-9 end of discussion.
Except the diesel CX8 is better
@@dlunn196 Not in the same league. It's smaller, less refined, less luxurious and the engine is worse in every way compared to the 2.5 Turbo.
You lot have no idea what youre talking about. The 2.0 and 2.2 R series diesel is bulletproof and doesnt have issues.
Bmw X7 FTW 😎
Eufy
Where did re driven go? Please get back to cars most people can afford..not 100k land cruisers. The best viewing is a dedicated video on 10 to 15 year old cars or more, cars people actually can pay cash for and have an honest review.. Just my opinion, hate me, ok, however SUV and people movers? No...might as well review shopping trolleys. 🍻
With SUV’s being the largest section of our automotive market and the demand high… don’t you think this is an appropriate review??
You and I may not be in the market for 100k LandCruiser, but many people are… and most of all these videos are an entertaining review into reliability and ownership.
Can pick up a used 200 series for around $40k. Even 200k km versions will be more reliable and last longer than most other options in the list.
I mean... The topic of this video is 7 seats SUVs. You can't look for a vehicle that size without spending a considerable anount of money.
I thought AK nailed this video. Most car discussed had older cheaper variants. And when the EV9 was discussed I loved the "if you really care about the planet buy an old car" comment he made.
I’m pretty sure a re driven review of a shopping trolley will still be entertaining and worth watching
Sorry guys, can't agree on the Fortuner. A truly awful car that proves the point that not all Toyota's are great.
Can you do test between 8 seater family vans like MB Viano / V class / VW Multivan / Kia carnival / Hyundai staria
Please stop your anti EV rants in every video. Otherwise great show and the only Aussie car channel worth watching with Jim being the star
Appreciate the kind words of course, but classing a 30sec chat about having a cautious approach to the virtues currently espouse by the auto industry around EVs is hardly an anti-EV rant
@@ReDriven yeah I think it’s interesting point of you. I think the newer technology lithium polymer batteries will help a lot as their rated life is now around 15 years from eight years. It’ll be interesting to see how they go. I think the whole thing in the technology of the cars is the same for a gasoline car these days as they all have so much technology these days even when it’s a gas or diesel, in my opinion of all electric better than a hybrid at least you have reliable problems of an engine and reliability problems of a hybrid. I wouldn’t be recommending hybrid if you even Toyota as ones they have a lot of issues. Most gas cars aren’t even made to last over 10 years these days. Cars aren’t made to last very long. They meant to be a mass produced item which you buy every 5 to 10 years so I think the same thing that happens to the new electric vehicles is gonna happen to gas cars the other their battery should last a lot longer will be interesting to see how it works in the reward.
But I am pretty anti-hybrid. Do you have the worst of both worlds a really heavy car because it’s got an engine and motor and both the reliability issues?
@@ReDriven Well said. Keep up the great work.
Actually ...those were some of the best thoughts and questions I have heard about the EV proposition from any automotive channel!
