X5M vs Turbo S vs Jeep SRT8 vs Range Rover sport

Wow... I'm impressed with the X5M. $50K less than the Porsche and every bit the same in the speed department. And dare I say, better looking as well!

I think they recently had a similar result comparing the new 5 Series GT to the Panamera.

being the owner of a 2010 RRS supercharged i protest the lack of off-road evaluation in this test- the rover would have brutalized the others, and probably been needed to pull the others out when they got stuck!

and 100 times out of 100 would buy this car again over ANY of the others.

so there

A good point, and one made by C&D. They admitted the results would have been different.

I think that you don't have many options but to to brag about RR, you have one after all ...

Honestly, I JUST LOVE the looks of that car... It looks perfect!

True that... but the Cayenne was never the looker from day one.

Enjoy!

I do like the new RRS, but unfortunately It simply has absolutely little headroom, I'm 190cm and in the lowest seat position my head is touching the roof - not good. I would choose either M cars any minute.

Anyone here so impressed by the numbers please remember not to judge any car/truck by these numbers alone.
Please take the X5M for a test drive and after you return to dealer with your kidneys bleeding you will have a bit different view of these vehicles.
All four of these trucks call themselves "SUV" but only one of them is really that(Range Rover),while the rest are just tall station wagons ,never designed to tackle any mud or real snow (10" and more).
X5M in particular,looks like it was designed to impress with the performance on paper,everywhere else it is a torture on regular roads (potholes,rail crossings and all) and not able to go off road anywhere.
The real winner here is the new Range Rover,very capable off road,cosseting on normal roads and still providing performance that just a few years ago was attainable only by supercars.

sorry but WHO cares about OFF ROAD ability if you buy a Porsche(!) Cayenne Turbo S or a X5M? This are big safe strong cars perfect for street and designed for street. Not even one of this manufactures say or advertise that their cars are good offroader. They just have advantages against a VW Golf front wheel drive in 5 cm snow street.
If i have to go offroad i will buy a jeep renegade or something whats built do to exactly this.
I just cant read it anymore "oh my god the X5M and turbo s are sooooo bad offroad......and have to towed out from a range rover OMG"<- who cares

All these trucks are classified "SUV" by their respective manufacturers so don't get your panties twisted here.
They all pretend to be SUVs with their brick like aerodynamics,if they didn't they would be designed to look like station wagons that in essence they really are.
If they are not supposed to be Suvs ,as you say,why build them to look that way (with all the disadvantages involved)?:eye:

[andreadebi]

why rrsport wasn't tested in the top gear track?

[The RS6]

It can't do a full lap on a single tank

It can't do a full lap on a single tank

If we are talking about all that SUV needs, VW Touareg R50 is tha best option...
