The REV Test: Dog-Friendly Cars. Honda Civic vs Land Rover Discovery vs Volvo V90

Almost half the population of the UK owns a pet, and of those half own a dog, so with 9 million canines on our shores this week the ladies test some dog-friendly cars.
Racing driver Vicki Butler-Henderson, Millennial motoring journo Rachael Hogg, and mum Erin Baker (REV!) are testing three of the UK's most popular cars for dogs - the Honda Civic, Land Rover Discovery and Volvo V90 - based on how people search for them at Auto Trader.
They're looking at how easily they can fit into your lifestyle, covering practicality, connectivity, and ride and handling.

My Dad used to have a Citroen estate with a boot liner and metal cage thing.

Really enjoying these REV films. One of these days, Carfection is going to make an offer to VBH and she's going to say 'OK but you gotta take Erin and Rachel too' and Carfection will be all like 'OK'

The Honda CRV is better for larger dogs than the Civic; much more vertical space throughout the boot. Probably better than the Volvo too. Our dogs prefer their Discovery though.

[@shankarbalan3813]

Lovely accessories for doggies. How thoughtful of these car manufacturers!

[@Clem_Fandango11]

Looking to replace my Jazz. It's difficult as the magic seats are so good on that model and I have 2 large greyhounds.

More videos please. ❤️👌🚘

[@stephenjones6902]

[@jaidenkelly5888]

0:58 shut the door!

[@manurewaboy]

Wow what an entertaining review! Great looking ladies with a delicious sense of humor, I enjoyed every minute of it thank you.

[@aaronmills3105]

Volvo ❤️

[@raymck2115]

great work team, like you it,

[@asherlopezsioson8927]

I like that they keep talking to their dogs hehehe

[@Gaminghunter2000]

If someone needs to know the hose from the woman with the Land Rover bought it from Land Rover as an option that is for cleaning muddy boots. She just used it for her dog because it is the same.

[@Cup.rs280]

Volvo for me at least they know when to stop designing a car unlike Honda and the offset plate on the Discovery just makes it look abit awkward.

[@melodaripper]

Does anyone know where I can find that pump in the discovery car 🙏🏽😭

[@Gaminghunter2000]

Kobe Melo the woman with the Land Rover bought it from Land Rover as an option that is for cleaning muddy boots. She just used it for her dog because it is similar purpose.

[@robertl2856]

Ģreat item....was it filmed in Barking ?

[@AutoTraderTV]

Sorry for the slow reply... it was filming in Crowborough in Sussex

[@Ambienfinity]

Erin's pooch looks like he's in doggie Alcatraz; Rachael's four-legged friend was a bit short to get into the Civic. The Honda will be running when the other two trendybmobiles have given up the ghost.

[@chrisogrady28]

300bhp and 30mpg in a massive fat lump like that discovery is very economical. My 190bhp Alfa 159 only gets 17mpg!

[@MiniEggs1999]

I’m glad puppies were always well secured during the making of this video 😁 I’m not a dog person but it was interesting to have three different types of car in the same test. Maybe do something similar around price at 20k 40k 60k rather than dogs. Or petrol diesel Ev etc keep up the great videos I hope they are working for you business wise

[@abdulsikdar8222]

Yeah your right Lucy a HONDA civic will do.

[@josephkarl2061]

The Civic didn't look a very comfortable place for that dog. Maybe it's because it was a small dog, but it looked like it was hanging on.

[@anguaji]

Hilarious doggo jape ftw

[@paulstanford4562]

Amen

[@RoobehTunes]

My 14 year old staffy couldn't get in any of these which is why we have a Yaris Verso. Nice vid though :)

[@Sanpedranoazul]

I`d take the Volvo, no doubt!

[@rifatmahmud2378]

Rifat Mahmud is OvroNormal

[@richarddastardly6845]

I can’t stand dogs/pets but Rachael looks cute though...

[@kshaw8494]

Not the best review.. a civic ! Skoda Superb estate, Passat all track more realistic offerings

[@jayjay378378]

So if you tag the millennial why are the others not tagged as gen x

[@DaxXx988]

"millenial"? Are you serious?

[@Sanpedranoazul]

Yeah right!!! LOL

[@MrPressPhotographer4]

Range Rover Really!!! Not very reliable and over priced.

[@kernow9324]

That awful woman in the orange jumper gets on my wick. Far too strident and shouty.

[@swanblake]

So dumb. Dogs are not people

[@OzBloke]

Yes - dogs are far more loveable!
