How can fail to compare this with either the Porsche Cayenne or Macan?

SQ7 tested 0-60 in 3.6 seconds by motortrend

Recent review by Autotrader UK timed the petrol SQ8 0-62mph in 3.9 sec. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erZ_jM-Bmpe6iZc.html

ALEX - the TESLA model X is the ULTIMATE SUV at any Price. its the SAFEST SUV ever made and the Fastest on the Road today, it can SMOKE American Muscle cars and Supercars.

What a waste of horsepower. A rich man's barge that'll barely tow a poor man's boat.

Me either. I just bought my wife a 2020 Hyundai Palisade for 48k and it’s an absolutely astonishing vehicle for that price!

You are not alone, Kia telluride better, that 2 Kia telluride

More then that how about 140 thousands fully loaded BMW.

J T not a BMW.

I'm still confused!

I'd probably lease one, but wouldn't want to own it after the warranty. I have a family member that has one that has aged out of warranty but well under milage.(16,000 miles) She just spent $1500.00 on an airbag. It may have dry rot just from sitting in the garage. Also I'd get the maintenance package to be included if they have one. Aside from that, for a large vehicle it's a blast to drive.

Same here. The X40i is the best value proposition out of the German luxury brands. The GLE and Q7 both have embarrassing 4-cylinder as base engines (albeit for a few grand less). I don't get why they push those engines into these giant vehicles. If you look at Q7 fuel economy numbers it's a total joke to even have the 4-cylinder. The GLE is the same case... a $60K performance-oriented German brand has a 7 second 0-60, that's slower than a V6 camry. I'm not suggesting we all need these V8s but I'd expect SOME standards. AMG models are hot and I fully respect them but the GLE 350 is pretty lame.

That’s on the option list bro

@@yobi369 it shouldn't be unchecked for 80+k

My wife’s 48k Hyundai Palisade has front and middle row vented seats!

J T your wife’s palisade also doesn’t drive like this.... and guess what your palisade also has a few options that are not standard on some Rolls or Bentleys but you’re not going to be comparing it to those 2 anytime soon... there’s levels and costs to luxury and feel and it doesn’t always show on the options list

Jonathan Hidalgo it drives just fine for my wife. And me too. It’s a great highway vehicle. It’s really an astonishing design, build and engineering. My hat is off to the South Koreans. The Genesis GV80 is quite a build also. But we are completely satisfied with the Palisade and I’d compare it to any automobile no matter who the manufacturer is. They’re all just cars and all have there own issues at times.

You need a Honda Element. Clamshell tailgate and very practical.

Just picked one up a couple of weeks ago...lots of smiles per mile...my wife turns down the radio so she can hear the exhaust.

Range rover sport p400e vs x5 50i . Which one is more durable !? Any idea !

@@istiakhosain5127 BMW

@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 I love range rovers interior, seats , dash , steering ..but in questions of durability I become mad to select one .

@@istiakhosain5127 Yes, sadly.

@@istiakhosain5127 your joking, right?

But it's not underpowered if you drive normal... why do you want to have 4 adults + heavy cargo and go fast? I mean yea the V8 is really nice but 4 second is not necessary, by any objective standards. In fact I think for most cars 5-6 second is a sweet spot.

@@dailyrant4068 bingo.

Because it still isn't quieter than the cx9 or xc60

Kyle T Alex says whatever he wants when it comes to those scores.

@@BodhiSurfer1991 the cx9 is like 7 seconds 0-60... it has half the horse power too... not sure they're in the same segment ...

Still not as bad as Doug DeMuro with his "DougScore"

@@BodhiSurfer1991 It's quieter than both.

How does comfort and road noise compare, particularly over bad pavement?

The GLE 580 is much slower than the M50i

It's similar to a corvette. Luxury... think about a Royce Rolls or a Bentley, even with massive V-12 engines they are not as fast because to make it quiet you have to add more sound deadening material which increases the weight. It's actually common sense if you think about it.

Yes, but the Cayenne will be about $50K more when equipped to be as fast...

The SQ7 is bigger and a 3-row vehicle that's about 1/2 a second slower and the RSQ8 is an X5M competitor. The SQ8 is also about 1/2 a second slower which is a big margin here.

But they are not v8 so you dont get a v8 feeling like the bmw , if you want a v8 you need to bump up to the rsq8 .

Your paying for the privilege of driving a BMW.

T8 is a very complex powertrain... a supercharger and a turbocharger AND hybrid. Also Volvo is not as good of a brand to most people. They were crappy for a while (but yes I do think current gen is good objectively speaking)

Great deal

Macan is much smaller (It's like Q3 almost), but that's a hell of a car. Most people (including BMW owners) agree Macan handles better than all the other German brands in the segment (GLC, X3, etc).

To get the same level of performance they are much much more expensive.

The GLE 53 is slower than the GLE 580 and much much slower than the X5 M50i

@@AAutoBuyersGuide ohk....

To match/beat the X5 M50i you would need a Cayenne Turbo which is priced more like the X5M. The Turbo *starts over $45,000 more. The GTS will be more expensive and a 1/2 second slower.

Exactly.

It definitely is, 5 second flat is pretty damn good for a 5000 lb SUV.

You’re right. But V8 is another game, more fun.

As I say in the video, the GLE 53 and GLE 580 are notably slower and the AQ7 is a bigger 3-row vehicle that is more X7 than X5 sized, and its still about 1/2 a second slower.

He doesn’t know about the SQ7. Do some research!

As I say in the video, the RSQ8 is an X5M competitor, and as such is is much, much, much more expensive and the SQ8, like the GLE 580 is notably slower. .

@@AAutoBuyersGuide SQ8 starts at 89k and has 500 HP. Then there's the RSQ8 which starts at $115k and has 590 HP. So the Audi's have slightly higher base prices but pretty close on HP

HP does not equal similar performance, because for crazy reasons BMW always lies about their HP numbers and the engine is likely in the 560 HP range at sea level.

@@AAutoBuyersGuide I'll concede that the BMW is very likely faster, but not by much (1/2 second to 60?) and that the Q8s are more akin to X6 competitors and less practical BUT, on paper at least, M50i & SQ8 are close in HP, price, dimensions, weight, etc. AND they are both aligned as middle-pack offerings with 5 seats and V8 engines but are not the full bore M or RS. Alright I'm done. Keep up the good work!

Yeah, there's a guy in town that just got an SQ8 and I would definitely consider it a competitor to the X5 M50i. Really like the SQ8.

Andrew Mai He had already mentioned the “not quite a real AMG53. The absolute crazy version he referred to at this point in the video would be AMG63S.

That's where these generic horsepower figures lie to you. The x40i has 335hp on paper, but does 0-60 in 5 second flat... so you tell me how that's possible when the GLE53 has almost 100 more hp.

@@mtnbiker014 I thought his use of the plural form of "version" referred to the AMG53 and the AMG63S. If not, my apololgies.

@@dailyrant4068 This is a complex issue -- 0-60 times depend on a lot more than just horsepower. There's weight, transmission, smoothness of the torque curve. The BMW 40-series straight six is known to be underrated by the factory. They have been making that engine for a long time. The Mercedes straight six is their first one since the 1990s. I think they could have made the performance a bit better than they did. In any case, 0.2 seconds really isn't very much.

@Andrew Mai 0.2 second is a lot when you are talking about 100 extra hp on the slower vehicle. Yes, anyone who pays attention to German brands know BMW underrates and usually their quoted figure is like the wheel horsepower and not at the crank. Also everyone knows there are more factor than just HP. However your argument doesn't stand because 1) when comparing MB and BMW, their weights and overall size of their vehicles are usually close in range (makes sense because they are literally the most direct competitors with each other). 2) To argue that MB hasn't built inline-six so it's "weaker" is just non sense. Overall, my point stands that generic horsepower numbers don't tell the truth.
