All Suzuki needs to do is to make an electric Jimny with modern interior. Instant $tonks.

[louiefriesen]

I would happily shell out the extra for a Toyota or Suzuki over a Ford or Land Rover because it will be in the shop every 10 years instead of every 10 weeks.

[taelorwatson]

I wish they had Suzuki in the states. I would buy that thing in no time. Suzuki has the best reliability of the Japanese cars

[ianpalin]

Our self charging RAV4 cost 35k and is excellent, the mpg is an average of 55mpg, the car is great to drive and as you would expect from a Toyota very well built.

Remember, this cars don't have a conventional CVT, these have a much more reliable and efficient eCVT, which has 2 electric motors and a power split device along with other several gears [planetary gear set] that connects them to the wheels and ICE.

[RRGunner]

You saying that a evoque and a disco is more smooth than that? I think you mean smoother unreliability.

[Lorcan-sfxl]

Would not touch a Range Rover Evoque or Land Rover.

[Teknisk]

Same price as a Discovery sport !? Whaaaat

[TheLittleRedCali]

The lack of understanding when it comes to eCVT gearboxes is staggering. He’s not the only one, there are so many on the his platform who blatantly refused to do their research.

[mariojager]

I like both but the Suzuki look better from the front.

[yackir]

I would drive a DONKEY over any Ranges 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I get quality and long lasting with Toyota

[Trip-Play]

It's hard to compare these two brands to the bottom of the barrel reliability of the rovers.

[sebastianyepes]

You always talk about Land Rover but in terms of Depreciation and overall reliability is one of the worst on the market

[wiilkasanadka]

There is no CVT in Toyota hybrids. It's planetary gear set.

[anthonyconnor]

I wouldn’t go near electric or plug in hybrid. It would be petrol, diesel or full hybrid for me. The new Toyota Yaris Cross hybrid looks well. It’s very good on fuel and low co2 emissions.

[bgundertaker]

You tried really hard to make these cars look bad. Thankfully, there are other reviews on YouTube, so I saw how great they are!

[alexanderstefanov]

The Suzuki is selling about 5k euro less than the same rav4 on the used market in Germany. Plus you can an across preregistered in Italy for about 38k Euro, which is pretty good

[talkandplay]

Imagine paying just shy of £50k for a new 4x4 and find it has no sat nav built in

[davidball]

The RAV 4 has ten year warranty in the uk and the hybrid battery has a 15 year warranty. I don’t now what warranty the Range Rover has but it won’t be that good. I have friends that have run discoveries one has done over 120000 miles with no problems. Another’s diesel, V6 blew up after 3 1/2 years the crank snapped there’s no way that would happen in a Toyota.

[TheDominator]

Small screen? It is a plus for me. Try to drive in the dark on a dark road with the risk of collisions with deer or moose. You don’t want a big screen with a lot of light
