- Everyone loves a posh badge on their car. And small SUVs? So hot right now. It stands to reason, then, that the Audi Q2, the MINI Countryman and the Volvo V40 Cross Country are considered some of the must-have new cars on sale today. But which should you choose? I put the three head-to-head in my in depth review which covers styling, interior design, practicality, driving and value for money.

Who could have thought that one day there would be a Mini that is bigger than a Volvo?
Ikr
0:55 just a suggestion .. you could have cool graphics floating over the cars with the prices displayed as you walk past the cars .. nice pan shot
Jose Moanińho Yes please
Jose Moanińho yeah it would have been cool
Nice idea! I seem to remember we've tried that on one of the group tests before - you're all welcome to go back and find out which video it was and post in the comments below. I'd look myself, but I'm feeling peckish so I'm going to go grab some lunch while you guys check :)
Its Me you're spot on. Congratulations, have some fake internet points.
carwow bring it backkkkk :D but make it like a cooler graphic maybe like maybe inside a bubble with the car wow blue color... Idk... I ain't creative
Bought a V40 D2 CC a few months ago. It's a solid, dependable, comfortable vehicle. Paid just over £12 000 and think I got an absolute bargain. Feels like worry free motoring. Also has a heated windscreen and seats; for the winter months. ;-)
No regrets.
I’m going to buy a mini so yes it wins for me 😎
I can't wait to get my countryman 😊
Good choice. Them VW/Audi products are crap
Mini is pure joy to drive. Way more fun than the other two
So you've driven all three back to back extensively have you?
@@teamgeist3328clearly ur clueless
Mini for me, got the same model you reviewed in British racing green. Very happy with the car. I agree, it's not the best on fuel, then again I bought it because it's fun to drive and not for fuel economy. Also, it is very practical and has a certain amount of charm to it. The only thing i don't care for is the silly seat in the rear boot, however, if your into tail gating I'm certain it would be very handy.
#TeamCountryman
I would watch this guy review toasters, easely the most entertaining car reviews on youtube!
I test drove a mini countryman this weekend and absolutely loved it, will be trading in my x1 at end of lease and leasing one...
rushdi34 do you have it right now? If so, enjoying it?:)
I have one and its a great little car.....very nippy and I'm averaging about 37 MPG.....slow down a bit and it will do more.....its also hugely practical, refined and well built
@@Sto79Be it's the 2.0 petrol "S" model.... I mostly drive in the green mode which is very refined.... If I need to overtake or have some fun simply flick to Sport and it goes like the clappers..
Should have shown the hill climbs from the outside too.
That Mini's A pillar... probably the biggest I've ever seen.
The Q2 looks like that kid from school who took everyone's lunch money
So if the Q2 is Nelson Muntz, who are the other two?
Looks like the geeky one that dress in cool clothes to try and fit in, if you ask me. :P
carwow The volvo is Wigum and the Mini is Homer. Hahahaha
OVOGang i
14Rolex11 maybe in your dreams .It is more expensive and have less extras than volvo
I would choose the Volvo but damn that interior of Audi is next level !!
Lol Volvo is by the far the worst option
BWMIM 9 explain...
Stavros _GR very average exterior and terrible interior which is super outdated . Needs a refresh asap
@@stavros_gr9105 what's there to explain
It's trash 🤮
Great review, was a lot of fun to watch!
Please review the Volvo S60 its a really good looking car in R design trim, and we want to see if it stood the test of time compared to germans although in my country its much cheaper
Mini, by a Countrymile ;)
MINI is that brand in the autoworld which has it’s takers even before the review starts... And they don’t care even if it comes in the last position . They will still buy them. Love them ❤️
Matt, i suggest that you review the VW Up! and cars within it's price range and segment.
Best review yet !!!
Love Matt's reviews!
I have the Volvo V40 R-Design PRO on D4 Suspension lowered by 8MM the car is a beast, i tried mini`s and been in Q2`s but didnt find them practical, the seats speak for themselves plus a lot of design has gone into these cars especially with thor hammer light design makes these so much great visability at night time driving.
I went for the Theoretical light design and Full LED for the light pack, you just dont feel like your in a volvo!!
You could've included at least a photo of what the hill looks like at 7:53 - was it a tarmac hill? was it off-road?
I prefer the mini a 100 times
Same
Same! the 2 litre machine is crazy good
How could the only car that passed the hill test not be the best all rounder here?
🤔
When you buy it and own it for 25000 km and you see how many times you will go to the repair shop it will quickly change your mind 😅
@@Sugarrushhh90wrong
Awesome video.. Subbed to see more!!
The Q2 looks like an over-weight Volkswagen Polo
Yeah, the Volvo and Audi are ugly af in my opinion
Nice 😂
How about comparing the original Fiat 500 vs the Citroën 2CV vs the VW Beetle vs the Mini Cooper. Would b very interesting to see.
An SUV that can't drive up a small hill is totally useless, in my opinion.
How could the only car that passed the hill test not be the best all rounder here?
🤔
@@mbwyatt1978 the other cars weren't specced with awd
Facts
@@mbwyatt1978 Such a brainless thing to say lol. Audi can be specced with quattro which is the grippiest AWD there is.
@@Wulf44445 great to know. Why was it not in this comparison.... it is not a comparison between the no-shows.
you are lovely to watch. GOD bless you man
carwow really has a hard on for audis at the moment... I love it :D
cannot wait for your review of the XC40, when they'll finally release it... since Volvo keeps teasing with clips on their channel :)
a mid spec Audi Q2 , with a 1.0 engine costs 35k here in Portugal, with halogen lights. oh god
1.0L?? Wtf? We have a 1.4L Q2 and it’s quick enough but nothing surprising and I can only imagine a 1.0 Jesus Christ why would Audi make that
Great review. Have been in the Q2 1.4tsi auto and it has mighty impressive refinement and seat comfort.
The Audi q2 has not independent rear suspension is it an issue?, You criticized it in the seat Ateca having the same chassis
hopefully Volvo refreshes the V40 soon with their new design 😍.
Mat, where are you reviewing the XC60? (in depth)
Ye in this year you will see the new xc40 and v40 infact they are allready displayd on their instagram just search volvo xc40 2017 and u will be happy :)
master your audio guys! i feel like Tiesto here just to be able to unterstand
Q2, I love it.
Would make more sense to compare like for like models? Rather than the basic Volvo vs the high end MINI
can you do a comparison between the Bmw 318i, Mercedes benz c180 and Audi a4 1.4tsi
Is it possible to do a head2head video with the Opel (Vauxhall) Astra Sports Tourer, Seat Leon ST and the Ford Focus Station? :D
hey matt you look like prince harry.and the setting of the Vedio was really a nice choice..😊👍
I'd go for a Kia soul used and use the difference on a binge somewhere exotic like Newcastle
New mic? Doesnt sound as good as before to me... :)
Among the three, only Q2 doesn't have the middle armrest at the back seat. Right?
@carwow you should race the q2 against the q3 see if the weight reduction makes a difference
A seat ateca review will be awesomeee
11:04, petrol with a 4750rpm red line?
coalie roller if you look to the right on the virtual screen you’ll see that the car in the picture on there is in fact an A4 🤔🤔
Why anyone would pay those prices for these 3 I don't know.
t s I would buy the audi a3 before those cars but if I had to chose one of the review I would go for the Q2 as I think that it is balanced
t s new cars have become unaffordable
livc444111 Dacia says "No", my man.
I've bought the v40 in 2013 for 25000€, it was basically brand new (had only fifty, yes that is 50, kilometers on it) and came fully equipped (sans leather seats which i hate anyways). with the money saved i've got myself a nice Heico upgrade to 194HP and 450Nm torque. It's a perfect autobahn car, smooth as fuck - in no way relatable to mini or Q2. Despite it being quasi higher, it's really not, the extra 40mm just mean that it eats the autobahn bumps better.
It's better to compare it with the A3, which in the 2013 was years behing the v40 (it just caught up with it with the 2017 iteration). and I don´t really like the design of Audi in general, I just find it boring (I compare the attractiveness of Audi with a plain white paper).
I do about 80km a day (work-home) and it does the job flawlessly. If it were the only family car I wouldn't have bothered, but the wife drives an xc70, which is a fucking boat in comparison, so when we need space we just take the xc70. but it is a perfect weekend getaway car for two people (plus two small kids in the back)
No they havent the prices have to go up to keep up with the demand and developments in technology.
The jump behind the Mini was so funny :-)). great review
Love watching your videos very intuitive.i have a soft spot for Volvo so it's the V40 for me.im looking at purchasing a V40 r design as my next car.would'nt it be great if you could do a comparison between a V40 D4 and V40 T5 as I want something that is pretty rapid,hint hint.
Why do you need 12V socket in the boot? How often do you charge you phone in the boot?
Matej Marecek cool box!
Well easy - 2 of them look like you're off to Asda and one looks like you're off to do something fun. Mini all the way for me.
Jeez Matt with those biceps I'd have thought you've been driving the Alfa Romeo 4c
I still love the Audi Q2 to this day!
Audi Q2?! never knew it existed, when was it out on the market?
Wish we had the Q2 and V40 in the US.
I'm taking that Volvo thank you
Was planning to buy a mini countryman, but this video let me think twice! After reading the comment, i'll go back with MINI :)
Re do this review when the 2019 volvo v40 comes out
lol hasn’t come out. V40 most rubbish car ever
@@bwmim9709 Nah, I own a 2017 v40 R-design and it's super classy and sporty.
Endri Çyrbja na man todays standards it needs an upgrade asap terrible interior looks like the inside of a tank 😂 and exterior is meh
The Volvo XC40 doesn't arrive in the UK until 2018. The car tested is a Volvo V40 CC which has been around for years. Please ensure you stop making errors.
8:00 wished you guys showed the car outside when trying to drive up the hill.
Have you measured your vertical?
does a3 and q2 have the same interior?
Philipe maia barbetta not quite. I think the A3 is a bit more circular. But I also think that the new A3 will have a similar interieur.
How is the Volvo in the the same range when it's so much more low down??
LOL Watching my my 1st video of Car Wow in 4K felt like he was talikng to me on the 4K joke great review as always.
I agree with you on the rear of the audi looking like a "jacked up VW Polo"
Which win is just for superficial , how about we talk about reliability? Which can run 100k without any problem. I think audi Q2 gearbox will blow first ,second is volvo and third is mini.
Repair cost for first is Q2 and second is volvo and 3 is mini
My 2016 hardtop now has 112,000 miles and runs great. Just regular service and a battery. Looking forward to getting a Countryman.
The Volvo V40 is a bit old now... So it's a little unfair compare this 3....
All the models of the Volvo were updated minus this!
Good video thought
How about NEW 2022 MINI Countryman? Review please……
I wld go for d MINI
When ? Volvo XC 60,Audi Q5, Mercedes GLC.
Audio q2 or Peugeot 3008?
Should have shown the cars going up the hill from the outside. For all we know, the hill could have been tiny
Would've preferred if you had shown us the hill.
I will go with the mini even tho it's not a mini anymore
Volkswagen Jetta review please
I've tried Q2 when visiting my dealer. Interior is too much plastic. Hard plastic on a doors. Hard plastic on a bottom part. generally A3 is much better IMO.
I'd still Choose the Volvo over any of its rivals
The Volvo V40 XC is Crossover body and C segment, like its direct rivals (Premium): Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class, BMW X2 Series, Infiniti Q30, Lexus UX and DS 4.
In Generalist brands:
Subaru XV, Focus Activ, KIA XCeed, Citroën C4, Mitsubishi Eclipse and Toyota C-HR ...
On the other hand, Audi Q2 and MINI Countryman are segment B.
All these new Audis are faultless when it comes to drivetrain pairing, interior fit and finish quality, ergonomics, fuel economy, and most amazingly, suspension setup. It's just a pity Wolfgang Egger completely ruined the foundation of Audi's great designs left off by Walter de Silva.
Yeah, i would take that BMW
Q2 mpg?
Mini Countryman please
why no GLA?
Should have shot the 'up hill' challenge from the outside.
I see no one choose volvo :) i would take mini ,its good for families. But Q2 is also a good option as a city SUV.
who remembers Volvo's with their weird green screens😂
Offroading is only as good as the tyres let you.
I didn’t know there was a Q2
Still prefer the mini
I'd really like the Mini Countryman but the reliability scores for Mini are a bit of a bummer
My 2016 hardtop now has 112,000 miles and runs excellent. Also, I see that the 2022 Countryman placed 2nd out of 29 Luxury Small SUV's in the latest issue of Consumer Reports magazine. (It's now 6/21/22)
@@misterb1132 Re 112k miles, oh wow that's pretty bloody amazing!
I'll have a read of the consumer report, thank you 😊
The volvo reminds me of the Mercedes gla
Got one brilliant for your wheel chairs etc but fast very 156 on auto ban country man 18
id suggest on the hill climb tests we actually get to SEE what the cars are actually doing not just a camera inside the cars
I would pick the mini
I'm just convinced
Mini Countryman weights 1650kg, 1650kg I understand how it got that heavy but really 1650kg
Mat, Next time you review a 40 or 60-model Volvo, check out the satnav controls on the steering wheel and by voice command. Not pretending this generation of Volvo gets near Audi, but they are a lot better than you - and many other reviewers - make out. And steering wheel controls are much safer than touch screen on the dash.
I wish he'd said a few words more about the gearboxes /:
Is it just me or does the back of the Q2 look a bit like the back a Mercedes A Class?
I’d get the mini but I’d wait for the 306bhp JCW model that’s coming soon
