"I don't like SUVs" - Chris Harris (September 2022)
Chris takes the 707bhp SUV from Aston Martin around the track to see what its all about and whether it can change his mind on how adding more power can make it more fun!
What do you think about luxury or performance SUVs? Would you buy one?

First high car I drove was my dad's 1980s Renault Espace. I like looking over other cars. But with so many SUVs on the road, I doubt that's still a thing. Looking over the guardrail helps against car sickness, though. My peeve with SUVs is that they are cramped inside. Rarely match the boot space of a wagon, and if so, only due to greater height, not boot length. And why does a 10-20 cm taller car add SO MUCH weight over a liftback or small wagon?

Crv, Tiguan, rav 4, sportage and Tucson p- new versions, are bigger and more spacious than a A4/6 avant, v60 and other equivalents for example yet they’re lighter and have a more commanding view of the road and are similar prices par top spec t8 and rs versions. Plus many wagons are German and they are built well but are expensive to maintain and unreliable compared to suvs from Mazda, Honda, Toyota, Kia and also Hyundai. But if you compare the German suvs to their estates you have more value in an suv comparatively and I think people like the raised height of the suv as you feel safer and more commanding (in a sense of sitting higher). The downside I would say is that mpg of an suv is worse due to its size but I get there appeal over estates. Fast estates are cool but expensive, where as normal estates look bland and a little ‘old manny’.

I abhor the industries shoving the market into SUV's. I have and will do my best to remain in the sports sedan field, as long as I can. With that said, I live in Miami and flooding is a very real and regular issue. I might be forced into an SUV simply as a matter of "survival" This machine is well out of my price range and, despite it's impressive power and driving dynamics, I would find it hard to part with as much as these are commanding when it is carrying last gen Merc cabin ware/tech etc. Partnering with Merc might provide credibility but whether it's Merc or BMW, they are always going to be hyper tight fisted about keeping the current gen tech to themselves. With all of the options out there, in this class, I am not sure if the Aston badge is enough for anyone to overlook what is considered vintage in the lighting fast tech evolution. Tech might drive many crazy but old tech is even worse. As always, hats off Chris.

This is the exception, not the rule. The rule is a boring Audi Q7, high heels, 3.0 diesel is slow, unresponsive, heavy and simply unnecessary. Not to mention all the others being similar or even worse. Yes, there is Stelvio that drives well and few others, but still a boring majority. And all that to drive children to school and go to shopping. Simply asinine...

I absolutely @#$%in DETEST SUVs! Whenever I see these cars reviewed I just always think how much better the car would be as a normal saloon/coupe/estate. They often have really impressive, powerful, torquey engines completely wasted in a big, fat, lardy boxy body with the aerodynamics of a brick wall. I understand the way it used to be. Back then Range Rovers were the only decent choice and they were used by well off farmers that truly needed its off road capabilities yet also needed it to be a semi luxury car for their trips into town/the city or to look acceptable when turning up to a business meeting or chat with your bank manager. Then it changed into a Chelsea tractor for spoilt, pampered wives to drop off spoilt, pampered children to their hugely expensive private schools. I think it became so beloved by women as it finally gave them the chance to physically look down upon male drivers. I think SUV drivers also believe that their cars are invulnerable to crash damage (in certain cases true) yet conversely they are also far, far more likely to roll. Nowadays it seems that literally every one has one! They are such a waste of materials in construction, fuel in running and money in parts and labour to fix. They NEVER even get even the faintest whiff of offroad action. The government should just increase the tax on all of these bloody awful SUVs to £50,000 a year and kill then all off once and for all!
