Safest SUV You Can Buy In 2019, Medium SUV Mega Comparison Test | Drive.com.au

With ten different medium SUVs we set out to find Australia's safest SUV you can buy in 2019. Our ten car line up consists of the 2019 Subaru Forester 2.5i-S, 2019 Hyundai Tucson Highlander, 2019 Ford Escape Titanium, 2019 Nissan X-Trail Ti, 2019 Mazda CX-5 GT Turbo, 2019 Kia Sportage GT-Line, 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan 132TSI Comfortline, 2019 Holden Equinox LTZ-V, 2019 Honda CR-V VTi-LX and the 2019 Toyota RAV4 GXL 2.0. To find out which one is the safest we tested their emergency braking systems as well as braking performance in wet and dry, stability control, ABS and their ability to swerve and avoid an accident.

I love that you did all those measurements. Other "reviewers" drive vehicles around for a while, and then they grade them based on how they FELT the vehicles handled. No numbers, no inflatables, no cones, just feelings.

As a Subby Forester owner for 3 yes.... All I can said Best handling Compact SUV I'd ever drive.
Though the Aspirated power train is not as strong as the Turbocharged but its always fun ride especially driving during rainy days

Fantastic review! I've always had confidence in my Forester, but seeing it pitted against 9 other SUV and coming out on top is the most confidence boosting feeling. Also there's the plus side of finally getting to see it perform the "Moose Test" and perform it flawlessly!

Wow, this is honestly the absolute most well-made vehicle comparisons I have ever seen.

Just got my Forester this week.  It's the most impressive car I've owned since the Mazda RX-7 I purchased in 1978, when I was very young and foolish.

Excellent review, these are the kind of reviews that we need instead of sheer performance based reviews !!!

Just bought first ever Subie Forester 2020. Couldn't be happier. Best buy of my life.

Brilliant compression guys; very informative and absolutely relevant for the average consumer - Well done - other channels could learn a lot from this review..!!

[tronng]

I'm looking for this type of tests for a long time. This is the best and very practical. Thank you

Great review, this is what more everyday car reviews need to be about. If more average buyers heed this advice the road will be a safer place. Subaru are doing great things with there eye-sight systems across the range. I was very impressed with even the base model Impreza and would recommend to anyone. This is not a paid post, I don't work for or am affiliated with Subaru in any way.
I own a Toyota, I just think they're doing the right things very well.

This review helps me decide on my new car. After very long consideration on CX5, CRV and Xtrail, I'm already leaning towards the CX5 for its design and performance, but after this review, it just check the most impontant box on my list, safety feature. Thank you and plz keep up with great work!

[woodykiddy]

The most valuable car comparison video I've ever watched on YT. Very well done you guys!! Liked.

[BJPr]

Forester hands down the best SUV for the money here!

[ganonk]

Best car review on things that are important. Other reviews never mention or test safety at all. Thumbs up.

[SeptemberMcking]

This review is brilliant. Keep the good work. Foerster is my favorite there.

[postxtito]

This is the most comprehensive test comparison ive ever seen online, and its so eye openning its rediculouse. I bought a forester because of your review, thanks so much, and i love my SUBIE😍😍😍

[windsailor]

Really nice video, I love watching each vehicle doing the same tests, especially the emergency braking tests. Seeing some of those cars hitting the plastic test vehicle's rear end was eye opening. Well laid out and explained video...Well done.

[alyoshakaramazov]

Thanks. I did a lot of research and decided the 2019 Forester Touring (top spec here in the U.S.) was the safest car I could find with the balance between economy and cargo capacity I need for work. So I bought one. I saw this video after I bought the car, and I'm happy to see my choice was likely the correct one.

[pactoomuchu]

I suggested my parents to buy the Subaru Forester and I find the video and showing the Subaru Forester at one of the top
