Compact SUV's are the new family sedans in America but choosing the best one for you is getting more challenging these days. In this video, we brought together 7 different entries and took them to an environment that no owner would probably go and even though you probably wouldn't, it's always nice to know which one of these is the most capable if you had to. Included in the comparison are the following:
2018 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring AWD
2018 Kia Sportage SX AWD
2018 Hyundai Kona SEL AWD
2018 Toyota Rav4 Adventure AWD
2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk 4WD
2018 Honda CR-V Touring AWD
2018 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL Premium AWD - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I’m surprised that Subaru declined to offer their Forester for this comparison. It would’ve been one of the most capable off road.
Im a jeep guy and its weird Subaru wouldn't take an opportunity to show their off road capability
99.99% of these sold WONT ever go off-road lol
dygardion 91 lol! My 2018 sportage will never see a road like this
and the 0.01% that actually do, will almost all be Jeep's and Subaru's.
If I had the Cherokee, I’d trail with it
dygardion 91 😂
well, tbh, north america have decent roads.
Please continue to test vehicles in these conditions. It is very helpful for us in the Caribbean.
Lmao Hyundai basically screwed themselves in this comparison by using the Kona instead of the Tucson...
The Kona's not even a compact SUV, it's a Crossover, which is different. I'd rather take the Tucson anyway.
thecarelectronicguy I think the Santa Fe Sport would've been the best option
Victor Kyin Pho Not really, the Santa Fe Sport is designed to compete with cars like the Ford Edge, Nissan Murano, etc.
Sportage=Tucson, no need for both of them to be there when they can promote another vehicle instead.
@Bill they're all crossovers, the Kona is a sub-compact SUV
This video was very helpful. I often drive on construction sites and need something that is able to handle these conditions and have basically been crossshopping all these cars. Thanks Sofyan!
Who in their right mind would pay $41,000 for a Jeep Cherokee???
Whoever bought mine so I could get it for $17,000 less 3 years later, that's who lololl! Real life though, the rest of these are a joke compared in off road capability. Electronic rear locker! That's a $1500 upgrade for most Wrangler trims, and is only in the off-road versions of pickups. Full body armor completely covering the bottom, 4 low. It's not even close. So, the money doesn't just fly into the stratosphere.
Someone that wants a proper 4x4 and not an oversized saloon!
Tards and Cunts. That’s who!
Anyone not broke like you
Ha! Nice try! What a waste of money that thing is.
Eager to see your take on the 1.6T AWD version of the Kona. Thanks again for this great video!
The jeep could literally Tony Hawk Pro Skater grind down the rocks and all it would need is the touch-up paint Mopar sells for the skid plates.
And a new transmission.
Omg your face when you scapred the ground was priceless 🤣
So unfortunate that Subaru didn't participate. They would have had the best visibility because of the boxer/low hood. And of course they are the authority on awd.
Awesome comparison , must've took all day .. also .haha the Mini blue car was not the go-to
Great video. Are you going to do this for the other sized segments of SUV's? I would love that.
Thank you for all the comparison!!!
The Mazda looks ahead of its time. 👍
And drives behind of its time especially on offroad, painful to watch how it struggles on these small obstacles :)
I wish you have provided an aerial shot from the top so we could see the size (length and width) comparison of each car
Nice off road video!👍👍👍
You keep saying the people who own these vehicles will never be out in these conditions....me in my 2017 Tucson going deep into the mountains "are we a joke to you?"
Thanks for sharing, 2019 lineup should be fun to test.
I had to laugh at the look on your face when you dragged bottom on the KIA. Ha!!!
Lol. It was like he farted and got an extra surprise. 🤣
6:37
@Redline_Reviews Off topic but have you got your hands on the new MX5 for review yet? Or was it only for Canadian youtubers first? Really want your opinion on it because you actually had a previous model. Smart move on moving away from the ND1 though because it's probably going to take a hit in the resell value.
Great video, thank you.
Nice review
I’ve been waiting to see 2018 CRV put thru these conditions. I noticed you had it in S mode when driving CRV, maybe D or L would have helped the CVT... I would be very much interested to know! Great video!!
alexaccent Honda actually told us to leave it in S and turn off traction control in these conditions.
Noticed you were driving the CRV in S for sport mode perhaps you could have gone to L for Low. Excellent vid as usual.
Yeah that was kinda odd
Love the RAV4. Solid little Ute.🚘
I am interested in your opinion on the Honda CR-V in snow with its cvt transmission.
I'll love subaru forester and rav4
You love the jeep
where is the outlander and eclipse cross?
I would like to know what Subaru is thinking? Are they trying to lose customers? Are they getting to big for their britches? A Crosstrek or the newly designed Forester would be a good fit ! I have a 2018 Crosstrek so Im biased.
Wait wait wait. Did you just say CVT is the best and fastest transmission? What universe is that CVT from? May I suggest talking about smoothness or anything but performance for the sake of credibility?
When are you going to review the Alfa Romeo Giulua Ti Sport?
The Volkswagen Tiguan in Australia has a 7 speed sports automatic dual clutch or Volkswagen’s so called DSG
This reviewer is a big ol Queen
I use my 2017 TH off road a lot, does great
Great review with one exception, where was the Hyundai Tuscon? The Kona should never have been included.
The Rav 4 trail can also tow 3500lbs which is more then all but the Jeep. However, the Toyota won't need a new transmission and other major components after 4 years of use. The Jeep will.
But it still doesn't sell anywhere near 50% torque to the rear wheels...so or still sucks!
Also if you watch TFL’S review of taking the kona off roading they showed that the kona wasn’t really off road worthy because it over heated before they could even finish their video
When is the traverse review going to be out
Where is the EcoSport?
subaru, if you aren't going to make a wrx or sti hatchback then give us an sti crosstrek.
Agreed, They are so short sighted
Nothing but he makes a great point!
I wanted to buy the crosstrek, but it was so pokey slow and it's not like mpgs were that great either.
Crosstek is a slug and at 30K it's a joke!
They did have a STI crosstrek a couple years back. It was just a STI trim with an extra sway bar with not performance difference LMAO
We’re is the Mercedes glen and bmw x7 ?
Love my 2018 CX-5!!
I'm considering one. What are your thoughts about it now, are they still the same?
How about a 2018 ultimate mid size suv offroad? Please, that would be great!
I noticed a lot of emphasis on the features of each vehicle; how they are designed, etc. A big consideration for me when buying any vehicle is reliability and longevity; how far/long can I drive it before it needs repair, how many miles can I put on it totally, etc.
I realize these are new and maybe these stats are unavailable however, these vehicles are made with engines and those engines are made by manufacturers with a track record for other engines they have produced, etc. Same with the transmissions; it would be nice to know what company at least made them preferably the reliability/longevity of similar transmissions.
It may not matter if you can afford to buy a new car every four or five years but I think it's safe to say that for most of us this isn't the case and we need a sturdy and reliable vehicle.
Woulda been cool if you filmed the part where the Toyota RAV4 got a flat tire. Although I noticed you mentioned that none of the cars got a flat tire from this, I remember your Instagram posting about it. Or I may be wrong.
He showed the flat tire at the very end.
Chris Gnay The flat happened after we finished filming the conclusion. We did film the tire at the end of the video but we were at the back of the group when it happened so we couldn’t get footage of it actually happening.
Why wouldn’t you do the Tucson instead of the Kona??
I would’ve liked to see this comparison with the Tucson instead of the Kona, as well as the Forester, Equinox, Escape, and Rogue. Why not?
Where you got those prices? Are you speaking tax included
Where is this place?
Will you ever get a chance to review the Lamborghini urus?
It's sad the CR-V only has 1.5L turbo. I would be nice to have 2.0L turbo on regular gas for the CR-V at 252HP as an option. That leaves 2.0L turbo 272HP on premium for the RDX.
yes very sad but the 1.5 is good I don't know how Honda did it. Exactly right gotta go Acura for that bigger motor. If you go Touring the toys are pretty damn good on the CRV.
turbo =$$$$ down the road.
I love the steering wheel on the Sportage. Not that it really matters when off roading lol
Where’s the Escape and Forester?
Would've liked to also see the Nissan Rogue, Mitsubishi Outlander, Chevrolet Equinox, Ford Escape, and Hyundai Tucson.
What ab nissan rogue and mitsubishi eclipse cross?
Nissan Rogue? Ford Escape? Chevy equinox?
Thats what I was saying
Just in time. Im tending to the cx3 yet. Altough cx5 is better overall its to big for myself yet. Diferrent segments tho.
40k for a compact suv? No thanks.
casualsuede what about Volvo xc40!!
I love the Macan S and SQ5.
in the cherokees defense its more a compact/midsize tweener than a pure compact. The new compass is compact.
Nice bro
Why didn't you include a Ford escape or edge????
OMG your face at 6.38 priceless
Very good
Why is the Kona there?!
No entry from Mitsubishi?
rav4 and cx5 are considered suvs not compacts i thought. I could understand calling that small but compact?
Is it me or did her really not say much about CX5 and it being okay off roAD?
1:46 what about Subaru?
where is the rogue?
The passenger in the Tiguan kept messing with the screen like leave it alone what is Sofyan needed that front camera or didn’t want all them finger prints on it.
Hey brother, the CR-V had 8.2 inches of ground clearance, not 7.9.
Just because Jeep are nown for there off road capabilities doesn't mean the others can't do the same. We have 2011 Kia Sportage and what we done with it so we can get through the snow easier is we have the AWD model but we put the most tallest and narrow tire and with that it also does help with going through the mud. (We also turn off traction control because that traction control doesn't help you at all)
I’m guessing Subaru didn’t participate because they were releasing a new version of the forester. So they didn’t want to promote a 2018 model when they have a completely new model coming in a few months for 2019.
I cannot believe you guys didn't have a GM (Terrain or Equinox) vehicle in this comparison Disappointing.
Kona was the surprise of the group for me.
My favorite is the cx-5
In 5 months I may get the '19 Rav4 or Lexus NX 300
Where is the Subaru Forester?
What is the fastest and i mean fastest 1st strongest powerful most spacious and most affordable All wheels drive SUV off roader please?.
Good comparison, but an odd choice of editing: way too much in-car talking footage, hardly no footage of the cars themselves (slippage, traction control kicking in, etc.). Could have provided the same info but with a dub-over....
I am disappointed tht the tucson was not Included in this comparison 😕
Why Kona and not Tucson??
Man, I'm really disappointed that the Forester wasn't available for comparison.
Mazda is the best!
No
My 2018 Equinox LT AWD with 7.9 inches of GC would eat that trail for breakfast. This isn't really a challenge at all.
In my 20's I had a Plymouth valiant with a 2 wheel drive slant 6 motor that I drove on back roads like this. What a joke that road was, I now drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee here in Colorado and have never been stuck yet driving in the mountains and on trails. It's not a Wrangler for rock crawling but Jeeps have the lower geared transfer case to get me out of places other vehicles can't. I know because I have needed to use it more than a few times with mud, snow or ice.
Good video. Disappointed Subaru decided to chicken out.
Also checked out Alex on Autos video, I do like his 3 camera angles more for this type of review.
Where's the stelvio?
Why are people ragging on the kona so much besides a scrape here or there it did fine for a vehicle not really made for off roading at all so it was more nimble didn't get stuck etc so that's my rant lol.
Hard to believe the Kia Sportage is one of the longest running nameplates in the segment. It’s one of just two models Kia used to launch their brand.
I would've been surprised if the Jeep didn't rank at the top in off road capability. That's their forte. Not the most reliable or that well built, but it should drop everyone on the trails
Where is the puegot 3008?
As a 17 CR-V owner, I’m surprised it made it without getting stuck lol. For these conditions, I would definitely go with Subaru or Jeep but for everyday conditions, the CR-V is the most well rounded vehicle.
Yeah, my 2017 CRV is the most well rounded CUV for everyday use, but I've taken it on mountain fire roads not unlike what's in the video and it was fine. It's fairly well rounded offroad too.
I’d take the Jeep and Mazda 👍
Literally JUST as I was wondering where the Subaru is, he says they didnt wanna come out to play. Bummer. I'm not a huge Subaru fan but I know what they can be capable of. Woulda been nice to see one here.
Inadequate review of all off-road characteristics for the vehicles given as well as the person narrating the review.
No Subaru ?! Cross trek or forester ?
Seriously you didn't take a Chevrolet Equinox or any GM brand or Ford brand! I had took a Chevrolet Equinox off road and the damn thing couldn't be stopped except for a few rocks that's great it was comfortable and felt confident! Just wondering what your opinion is! The ground clearance wasn't the greatest but they could easily be modified to get more clearance in the front
7.9 inches of GC on my 2018 Equinox LT AWD is more than sufficient for mild to moderate off roading. With the low end torque that the 1.5 Turbo puts out, I'm pretty sure my Equinox would have eaten this trail for breakfast.
I’m gonna disagree with you about the Tiguan looking like a van
I still prefer my 2018 Kia Sportage. It scores 4.5 out of 5 for reliability where Honda's CRV only scores 3 out of 5 and the Sportage has more comfortable seats and is a very quiet ride thanks to lots of sound proofing starting in the 2017 model. The Mazda just looks weird in my opinion, though I like the specs.
As an owner, I’m biased, but the Forester is definitely my pick - 2017 2.5L.
