Audi Q3 vs BMW X1 vs Volvo XC40 - which is the best posh small SUV?

Small SUVs are all the rage at the moment, but if you want one that offers a little more luxury you'll need something German or Swedish, but

which

of the two should you choose between the BMW x1, the new Audi q3 or the Volvo XC 40? For all of you wondering where the hell the Mercedes is, frankly the GLA just isn't good enough to be in the company of these cars to help you decide. I'm going to compare their design, it seems a bit presumptuous, criticize their interiors in a strange way. look at how practical they are, it's a bit lively and of course find out what they like to drive, it may get on your nerves but first of all let's see how much they cost.

The Volvo starts from around 28,000 pounds and through the car cable, you can save an average of about two thousand dollars on the new Audi q3

which

starts from around 31,000 pounds and you can save about 1,500 pounds on the whole car, while finally the BMW x1 which starts from around £28,000 and, like the Volvo, can save around £2,000. pounds I want via Carl Wow obviously the most important price is the one you actually pay to the dealer so make sure you click on the pop up band in the top right corner of the screen or the link below the video or just Google Car Wow and BMW at Volvo or Aldi - Check out the prices of these cars and the deals you can get when you do the math and compare cars with four engines and equipment, and take into account the discounts available through the car while the BMW He is the most attractive at least on paper, but what about in the flesh?

The x1 isn't the big SUV of the east, it looks a little

small

, tea weights, designed grilles, but it's still a pretty smart looking car, although it's not entirely smart. Like the Audi, the Q3 looks a bit doughy, while this one has more creases and angles, so it's a bit cooler, especially in this S line, which has some extra sporty bumpers. Yes, this blue paint looks great. wonderful, I love it, this Volvo may not have such a flashy paint job, but overall it is the most elegant of the three. I think it's a very attractive car, it's thick, it has a lot of gifts, it's super cool, in fact, it's so cool that it even makes me feel happy.

Look, I know I'll never make it. I'll never be cool. Fortunately, the interior of the Volvo is definitely the interior. The forty exit is super simple and elegant. It's very, very Swedish. It's not the first at all. I like it. I like this too. Look. I have these driftwood inserts on this model with inscription, it's really nice. One side complaint is that if you look around, some of the tacky parts and trim don't feel as sturdy as those on German cars, but I'm splitting hairs. or should I be picky anyway, I have something to do with your head here and it is a complaint, but will there be something to complain about in the Audi?

Surely, without seeing that the company is famous for its quality cabins, this key in the interior is simply felt. super modern I love the angles on the dashboard, the different surfaces, the way you have this shiny panel here, it looks like a piece of black plastic, but when you start the car the screen suddenly appears, everything is cool, one thing that no What I don't really like is that while most of the materials are very high quality, the double hoods are quite hard, they are not brittle plastic, they just cause the closures that you would expect on one of this type of car be strange and that brings Moving on to the x1, one thing you can't fault before either is the build quality, so everything is very solid and all the materials feel appropriately expensive.

I quite like the design, but now I'm starting to feel that it's a little aged compared to the newer premium SUVs, especially the dials, if one has digital dolls nowadays, these are real analogues, like old watches, and look at this, this is a standard infotainment screen so it's a bit

small

with a lot of bezel, to be fair the BMW infotainment system is the most pleasant to use and easiest to operate while driving and you can upgrade to a larger screen for around a thousand pounds and even then the cost works out a little cheaper than the equivalent of a DQ three or four for XC 40 Both cars come with large touchscreen infotainment systems as standard and have digital dummies for the driver and of these two systems the Audi one is elegant to look at and deadly loud when used in the Volvo, the q3 is also quite impressive for those in the back as well.

The rear seats of this Audi seem super comfortable to me. You can slide the seats forward if you want to create more space in the trunk, but no, I don't do that. I want it to be as relaxing as possible. yeah I'm going to recline the seats all the way and look at this I can stretch out a little bit it's really nice the only thing I can complain about is with this dark and really dirty interior here this is not something that is a problem with the feel of increased ventilation x1 yes, it is super spacious here in the back of the BMW.

I like it, especially there's tons of headroom and it also has this feature, look slightly slid II and if you want to recline II, recline there. We will always have the seats in the most relaxing position, which is what it is. Now I am fine. You could go a very long distance in the back of this car, to be fair it's a similar story with the Volvo, it's spacious in the back. The Volvo is definitely spacious. I like it. I also like this large glass roof, too, for the fact that it opens and, despite being installed, there is still plenty of headroom.

Normally sunroofs make it very tight for headroom, but not here. I have two. Although the first complaint is that I can't recline the backs of these chairs and they are too upright for my taste, this means that the Exceed 40 model is not as comfortable for the rear passengers as the two German ones, but if you need to transport three people to At the same time, in the back, it's marginally the better car here, mate, it's got a wider body and bigger footwells, but there's not really much to do to fit a child seat, it's a Donnelly, the XC 42, however, is no harder than the q3 or the x1 and those two.

It also has ice fixing anchor points on the front passenger seat, while the Volvo still doesn't. The Swede is the

best

to carry your things. The 60/40 has an absolutely huge trunk and no loading lip at all, so yes, it slides things in and out. very easy, you can put the parcel shelf under the cargo floor, look, there it is, take it out, come on, come on. I'm not going to put that plate up for a long time, don't get bored and so look, you can move this. divide it into different positions and then you have these hooks that you can hang bags on really very, however there's nothing so clever, it's that you definitely think a little bit about following the seats down, but then they go down or some kind of electrical mechanism goes in Shan, then divided into two parts.

I'm sure that mechanism again looks good, it's a bit lively with the seats folded you can carry everything you want in the Volvo and with them up there there is 432 liters of space which is easy enough for most families, the Audi q3 is almost as big with 20 liters of space and is almost as useful for this Audi. It has a pretty decent trunk, nice and square, and a really small loading lip, but I'll let that slide. because I like this shiny protective plate, it looks super stylish. I also love, you can put the package shelf under the false floor.

I think I know I like it a lot. If I want to fall off the seats, I have to do everything possible. to the rear seats because you have to pull the tabs near the base to lower the seat backs and frankly I think that looks too much like hard work, but unlike the Volvo the rear seats split three ways, which adds to the practicality and they do it in the BMW 2, in fact, with the seats down this car has the largest trunk and with them up it is the same story, since it has more than 500 liters of space, this car has a nice big trunk with absolutely nothing.

You don't carry anything at all, so you can sit on it like this absolutely fine and there is plenty of storage space under the floor. It has some things there. I actually bought this car from a colleague, so he has some parts like your policy. You have this two stage package rack and I was hoping to show you that it fits in here, but it doesn't look like it can, but it doesn't. It's annoying and quite flimsy, but I like this look. I want to fold down the rear seats, yes, an electrically operated tada and that's why I don't do it.

I appreciate it when it comes to practicality, then the BMW just beats the other two, but again the differences are small, so what's to decide? The winner here is how it feels to drive each of these cars. Let's start with the Volvo. Many of these small SUVs can feel like normal cars that are a bit tall, while this one feels like a proper SUV, a big 4x4. Part of the reason is that you. I've got this big, flat bonnet which makes it feel a bit like a Land Rover to drive. Now the suspension is really whatever, but it's a very, very comfortable car.

Now you can get it with two types of suspension. This is the normal comfort suspension, but in the r version. -In the design version you get a sportier, stiffer suspension, it is always comfortable, although the compensation is this locker in the corner and it leans quite a bit. Yes, this car is by no means sporty when driving on the highway. well it's safe, it feels solid, it's reasonably quiet, the seats are super comfortable and they also stay relaxed in terms of engines, the diesel engines can be a little noisy but they have plenty of punch, the petrels, well the t3 is too slow , the t4 is a good engine, this t5 and this type is really fast, you don't really need those which are quite expensive, plus you can only get it with all wheel drive which you don't really need and an automatic gearbox and the car is fine, a Sometimes you put the pedal to the metal, it can be a bit hesitant, but it's not the worst and overall I think this car is very pleasant to drive, it's just cold, just the classic Volvo jumping out of the Volvo and getting into this BMW x1, It feels much more like a car, you notice.

It grips a little better than in corners and doesn't lean as much when you take one, it's reasonably sporty but I wouldn't say it's particularly fun in corners. As for the engine, they are pretty good, in fact it will probably go. For the One Eight D, this is the 20 ISO, it has a 2-litre turbocharged petrol engine and is quite quick. The

best

is the automatic gearbox. OMG this 8 speed automatic gearbox is so much better than the automatic ones. You get the Volvo or the Audi, manuals are fine too, if you want, of course you get the car with front wheel drive or all wheel drive.

Their higher power versions are all traction and you don't really need grips. Maybe my biggest problem with this car is that when you're on the highway and driving at about 70, maybe a little faster, there's so much road noise that it can get on your nerves after the other two. All three key cars are available with front- or all-wheel drive, as manual or automatic and come with a section of decent petrol or diesel engines. When you drive down the highway in this car, it's actually pretty cool, you know, it's relaxing. It's very very stable at speed and doesn't make much noise, you don't hear much tire noise on the road, you can hear a little bit of wind here but it's not that bad and overall this is a very quiet car to travel more quietly. than a BMW sand and it's more intuitive how it drives, it's actually quite good for this type of car, you just grab it and turn.

I'm quite surprised at how well this car corners, to tell you the truth, definitely much better than the old q3 Kompany, probably. like 54 miles per hour you couldn't do that in the BMW, is that fun? Well, not exactly, but it's definitely sportier than the other two, so if it's the sports car you want, where does all that leave us? The winner of these three is actually really difficult because they are all very, very good. The BMW. I like it because it is practical and the Audi is good to drive. It feels very sporty in the corners and has a super cool interior, but for me it's my favorite.

It's the Volvo XC 40, it looks the coolest and it's the most comfortable and after all that's what you want from an SUV and that's why this test is twin.
