Range Rover v BMW v Porsche: For £2,000?!

What should you do if you want a luxury SUV without the luxury price tag? Well, Mat may have the answer…

He’s gathered three second hand luxury SUVs which all cost under £2,000! We’ve got a Mk3 Range Rover, a Mk1 Porsche Cayenne and a Mk1 BMW X5.

Let’s start with the Range Rover. It’s a 2005 model with a 3.0-litre diesel engine putting out 175hp. It comes packed with wood and sumptuous leather, however that trademark split tailgate is broken. Still, we got it for just £2,000. Not bad when you consider it would’ve cost someone around £62,830 back in the day!

Fancy something a bit sportier? Maybe the Porsche Cayenne S is more your style. Back in 2003 this car would have set you back £45,000, but we nabbed this one for just £1,950. It has a thumping great 4.5-litre V8 under the bonnet with 335hp, and it should be a hoot to drive on a twisty road.

The final offering we have for you is the BMW X5. Our’s is the 4.4-litre V8 Sport model, which would have cost £45,700 when new. Now though, you can have this one for £1,800. It has 286hp, and a satisfying V8 burble.

So, which of these cut-price luxury SUVs is the best buy? Stick with Mat to find out.

The cars were covered by trade insurance, driven on the road using trade plates and had valid MOT's at the time of filming.

So so glad to see Taylor in the video. He’s such a genuinely knowledgeable friendly human being…

I love how honest taylor is about his cars, even though he is losing many potential buyers but still he is being honest. Respect 💯

I haven't had this much fun watching a Carwow video before. This was 31 minutes well spent. Taylor's a gem

"Rust is lighter than carbon fibre" - classic line 😂

Taylor’s great, can’t beat his dry humour

[tedarcher]

Taylor is a joy to watch lol, bring him more often!

[petrolpoodle]

I've never seen Mat laugh so much, this is such a natural pairing! Loved it!

[davidviner]

Taylor needs his own channel, great video!

[BobMarley-umdr]

This is one of the best Carwow videos ever made

[marcjaffrey]

The Matt and Taylor show - a brilliant humour match. More, please!

[dragonheart]

Absolutely love cheap car reviews! This was one of the most enjoyable Carwow videos I’ve seen! Has almost the fun of the golden Age of Top Gear (the drugs and the porn comment to the other driver were absolutely hilarious btw haha)
Definitely look forward to what’s next with these, and hoping to see more cheap car videos in the future! I’d avoid any goofy mods though, was always the worst part of the cheap car challenges in my opinion.
(Maybe even come to the states and do a cheap American car challenge! Especially cheap pickups! That would be a guaranteed hit!!!)

Love these big barges, the main challenge is the upkeep and maintenance as opposed to the purchase price.

[lbnewell]

I love Taylor. He’s so funny and genuine and I’m glad to see him in a carwow vid and hopefully the big audience will benefit him

[AsherCB]

I like how honest bro is abt his car lol

[waqaasakram]

Taylor and Matt the collab we didn’t know we needed. Love Taylor from AutoAlex’s channel. Major thumbs up 👍

[kestonsealy]

My favorite line, "Rust is lighter than carbon fiber "😂😂😂 I really enjoyed this review. Matt, U and Taylor have good chemistry. Good job guys 😄

I never thought the Range had rear-wheel steering, way ahead of its time!

12:07 those are the little pellets that seal an inc cartridge for a pen. If the cartridge is empty you can cut it open and remove the little ball. I actually collect them in the back of one of my pens because there’s extra space in it that the cartridge doesn’t use

I had a ‘54 plate ex-police Range Rover with the 4.4 V8, absolute beast, everything worked. Most comfortable car I’ve ever owned and it moved when you pushed the throttle for a 2.4 tonne car 👌🏼 10/10 would have another
