I've had the T8 model for about 4 months, and driven ~2,500 miles. We don't use the car to commute, but it's our only car. I downloaded my trip data to share my experience. About 80% of our journeys are done fully on Electric power. It's quick enough off the line for normal traffic, and it's smooth as silk. Yes, I'd like more range, 30 miles would be perfect in my opinion, but I'm surprised how many trips we've managed to complete on electric. Then this weekend we jumped in the car, went on a 1,000 mile road trip - although it would be nice to top up the batteries, you don't need too - that's the beauty of plug-in hybrids. Over the 2,500 miles we have driven (before the road trip) we've averaged 40 MPG. That's not going to save the planet, or justify the $ premium, but it's the best MPG you'll find for a 7 seater premium SUV. So, why get the T8 over the T6? It's certainly not a financial justification, but it feels great to run some errands without using any gas, and the car feels so smooth in pure mode. Also - when you need it, there aren't many cars that can beat you off the line.
Hi guys. Just found your channel. It looks very interesting. It seems that some of the cars you review are more common and some of them are even achievable. I like that. I would also watch your videos if you made them a bit longer by sharing more interesting details. Keep up the good work. Thanks
Thanks Gorm. We also often accompany our video reviews with text reviews to go into more detail, you can find these links in the video description if we have an article. Thanks for watching!
Had one for a 48hr test drive. I drive very gently and my average over a weekend of mixed roads/trips was 75mpg. Not sure were they get the 134mpg from, but it certainly very doubtful. My two main complaints were the infortainment was slow and required rebooting twice over the weekend. The 4 cylinder engine if not very refined for a car of this class and can even be said to be ‘harsh’ when pushed. If they had offered other engines, I might well have ordered. I’m currently waiting for the 2018 Touareg to be available in UK - it looks a lot better car than older versions and as a long time VW owner, it might be my next car.
A lot of them Jamie as we're based here, but we do explore Wales and some other scenic places in the North West. Ryan and Rich have reviewed in Finland and Spain in the past year too!
This does have a nicer interior than the Range Rover, although you can't really compare the two, they're not in the same class. The Volvo needs the cream leather and blonde wood to look its best inside.
H. Pope tested the F pace S impressed but it's materials are very cheap for a car that class look I love jaaaaaaags but the f pace is way too expensive for it's materials...
The first really poor review that I have seen from car keys. The Tablet style controller which has received universal praise was not shown at all and the view of the space with the 7 seats in place was completely masked by the sunshine! A bit more care and effort please Car Keys.
Hi, thanks for the feedback. Ryan did briefly discuss the controller and show it on screen, although we appreciate some people may have wanted a more in-depth look at this. We also have a text based review, in which we try to elaborate on some of our points: bit.ly/2hWfkhh Don't worry we're not short of effort on any of our videos, so come back and let us know what you think of future reviews +rippedupno1!
Think this car is more suited to business lease, 7 seater with the lowest BIK and blistering pace for such a big car makes this car one of a kind, ordering for 2019!!

We have one too and that’s been our experience as well. Thanks!

What mpg did you get? (hybrid mode)
Great review. ....very relaxing style. ...enjoyable.
Thanks, John. Suppose that goes for the review and the car!
The car looks great. ...I'm sure it drives like a dream.
Ryan enjoyed it a lot as you can tell. Thanks again, John.
Great Review of one the best SUV's. Are all the Video Reviews Filmed around Liverpool
A lot of them Jamie as we're based here, but we do explore Wales and some other scenic places in the North West. Ryan and Rich have reviewed in Finland and Spain in the past year too!
Please review Maserati Levante.
What is the maximum range of the car starting with full batteries and gas?
What a car. The ultimate in luxury. Impressive.
Andrew K, Northern Ireland Britain makes much better cars
This does have a nicer interior than the Range Rover, although you can't really compare the two, they're not in the same class.
The Volvo needs the cream leather and blonde wood to look its best inside.
Samuel Brooks No... it really doesn't
Range Rovers are 6.3519% better mate.
H. Pope Not really this interior is better.
Do u need a home charger wth the self recharging
Yes you do, the recharging only accounts for a tiny bit.
I love when they use really old Ferrari's for performance references! Go far back enough and my Nissan Micra would outdrag a Ferrari!
Samuel Brooks ha
134 mpg lol hahaha car manufactures might as well claim there cars shit out gold
Awsome car but i wished they had a more powerful diesel...
Faris Selimovic Jaguars (British) are way better
H. Pope tested the F pace S impressed but it's materials are very cheap for a car that class look I love jaaaaaaags but the f pace is way too expensive for it's materials...

rippedupno1 also no real life mpg reading.

What an utterly useless car. No range and extortionate to buy and run.
Think this car is more suited to business lease, 7 seater with the lowest BIK and blistering pace for such a big car makes this car one of a kind, ordering for 2019!!
2.0L petrol engine in this huge heavy car!!!! you've got to be kidding me!!!! terrible on fuel
Nice-oscar yes but Volvo keep that very quiet! terrible cars do 25mpg in the real world
It's hybride 2 engine that produce 408 Hp
