Audi Q2 vs MINI Countryman vs Volvo V40 XC - which is the best small SUV? | Head2Head

Everyone loves a posh badge on their car. And small SUVs? So hot right now. It stands to reason, then, that the Audi Q2, the MINI Countryman and the Volvo V40 Cross Country are considered some of the must-have new cars on sale today. But which should you choose? I put the three head-to-head in my in depth review which covers styling, interior design, practicality, driving and value for money.

Who could have thought that one day there would be a Mini that is bigger than a Volvo?

0:55 just a suggestion .. you could have cool graphics floating over the cars with the prices displayed as you walk past the cars .. nice pan shot

I’m going to buy a mini so yes it wins for me 😎

Bought a V40 D2 CC a few months ago. It's a solid, dependable, comfortable vehicle. Paid just over £12 000 and think I got an absolute bargain. Feels like worry free motoring. Also has a heated windscreen and seats; for the winter months. ;-)
No regrets.

Mini for me, got the same model you reviewed in British racing green. Very happy with the car. I agree, it's not the best on fuel, then again I bought it because it's fun to drive and not for fuel economy. Also, it is very practical and has a certain amount of charm to it. The only thing i don't care for is the silly seat in the rear boot, however, if your into tail gating I'm certain it would be very handy.

Mini is pure joy to drive. Way more fun than the other two

I test drove a mini countryman this weekend and absolutely loved it, will be trading in my x1 at end of lease and leasing one...

I have the Volvo V40 R-Design PRO on D4 Suspension lowered by 8MM the car is a beast, i tried mini`s and been in Q2`s but didnt find them practical, the seats speak for themselves plus a lot of design has gone into these cars especially with thor hammer light design makes these so much great visability at night time driving.

I went for the Theoretical light design and Full LED for the light pack, you just dont feel like your in a volvo!!

I would choose the Volvo but damn that interior of Audi is next level !!

[visheshgoel]

MINI is that brand in the autoworld which has it’s takers even before the review starts... And they don’t care even if it comes in the last position . They will still buy them. Love them ❤️

That Mini's A pillar... probably the biggest I've ever seen.

I would watch this guy review toasters, easely the most entertaining car reviews on youtube!

[estebanlover]

Great review but I knew Audi was going to win because you love Audi and they always win. The mini is clearly the best one here.

[tadeuferreira]

a mid spec Audi Q2, with a 1.0 engine costs 35k here in Portugal, with halogen lights. oh god

[sbomorse]

Should have shown the hill climbs from the outside too.

[Rolex-euvp]

The Q2 looks like that kid from school who took everyone's lunch money

[lammysdv]

I'd go for a Kia soul used and use the difference on a binge somewhere exotic like Newcastle

[yissssss]

An SUV that can't drive up a small hill is totally useless, in my opinion.

[SAKTHITech]

hopefully Volvo refreshes the V40 soon with their new design 😍.

Mat, where are you reviewing the XC60? (in depth)

[flaviu]

The Q2 looks like an over-weight Volkswagen Polo
