I think this shows how silly these awards are. How can a car (XC40) win car of the year last year and not even win its segment this year?? Also why use the base model XC40? The next one up is still cheaper than the Audi and may have got you vote differently. Im not paying any attention to these awards in future

This are all paid awards, where is the BMW the best in the class. The worst car in the segment is made winner by not including the better ones you guys are pathetic

It’s all about opinions or sponsorship? I had a high up the range Q3 S-line Black Edition with all the extras for best part of 2 weeks when I had a problem with my A4 and whilst it was a nice SUV, the interior was no where near as nice as the A4 model that was being repaired. Plastics felt cheap, seats were not really that comfy etc.
I have a couple of friends that have Evoque’s and although nice motors they are just not a Proper Range Rover and the 2 that I’ve driven were under powered. I took delivery of an XC40 PHEV R-Design 2 days ago and it’s blown me away. Classy, well made interior that is so much nicer than the Q3 in every way. Engine is very responsive, loads of room from back to front.
Like I said, all subjective but I don’t buy into these reviews and also don’t really understand them. Sat Nav was better on the Audi though 👍🏻

You really didn't compare the cars, but just ranked them and briefly scratched the surface. Yall didn't even talk about how they drive, powertrain refinement, gas milage, smh

[hansvancauwenbergh]

Ranking should be done by criteria not by sponsored budget. No added value for customers unfortunately

First time i gave a car review the thumbs down (dislike). May be the video is an announcement of an award and i did not get it. I watched as it was 4 minutes video! But there is lack of information and justification of decision which made the video not as helpful.

The volvo xc40 is based on a chassis made by gelly and volvo which can not compared to audi which is made by germans

Range Rover EVOQUE my ass! What an unreliable, overpriced POS. I will put the quality, design, acceleration and handling of my 2019 MAZDA CX-5 GT Reserve against the EVOQUE any day - and easily win. Range Rover and Jaguar are TATA made and that Indian company needs to learn how to make QUALiTY vehicles or they are dead. 'nuff sed.
