Old BMW X5 v Range Rover v Porsche Cayenne: OFF-ROAD RACE!
SUV off-roading videos don’t get much better than this!
We’ve got our hands on a second-hand Range Rover, BMW X5 & Porsche Cayenne, and we’re about to put them to the test over a series of treacherous off-road challenges!
So let’s see how the three stack up. Starting with Mat in the Cayenne, it’s powered by a 4.5-litre V8 that’s good for 335hp and 420Nm. The BMW X5 is next up, with a tasty 4.4-litre V8 that can deliver 286hp and 440Nm. And then finally we have the Range Rover, which is packing a 3-litre diesel that can put down 175hp and 390Nm.
Given the age of the cars, we were able to get them for a bit of a bargain, spending just £5,000 across the three of them. So of course, you know what that means… We weren’t exactly that gentle with them!
The question is, will all of these legendary SUVs make it to the end of the video?! You’ll need to stick with Mat and Yianni to see for yourself!

these 3 men should form a team and appear in every single episode in this channel
The 3rd dude is the dude from Auto Alex. Great guy.
Watch car trek
@@olimpather agreed. Seems like Top Gear and Doug Demuro both have a rival then.
@@brambakker4058 Car Trek? What is that?
@@purwantiallan5089 it’s in top gear style but then with hooviegarage , travarish, and the vin wiki guy. I must have got the names wrong but there have fun to watch and hoovies garage is a really nice channel on it own.
I hope they have a budget as huge as topgear then we get like a 90 minute long special episodes doing challenges in different parts of the world.
topgear has uk tax payer funding
Now you're talking!!!
I haven't watched TG in years, because it's cr*p. I watch Matt et al regularly, because it isn't. The reality is that you don't need to have a bunch of toffs talking cr*p about cars to make good TV, you just need a bunch of guys who are more interested in the subject than their own egos.
Melbourne-Cape York in Euro 4x4s. I don’t believe it’s been done. 👍👍
@@bendgeddes now that’s something I’d pay to watch.😮
So happy to see Taylor getting onto Carwow he’s a such a great guy 👌👌
Carwow
Carwow
He’s called Matt not car wow
@@Chimpanzem5 bro the company name is carwow
@@jomkae9677I know that 💀
Although cayenne won by a margin anyways, imagine how bigger margin would be if only Mat found small air suspension knob to the left of him, default for on pretty much every cayenne, which lifts it to 270mm off the ground xD
I offroad with my cayenne (its a 958 so a lot newer), and mine has steel shocks. air only comes standard on the higher trims, unless optioned. regardless, for its size its an extremely fun and capable machine, even without air ive rarely ever had any clearance issue. going forward i will definitely be looking for one optioned with air, although they're highly sought after. hands down the best offroader ive owned.
The funny thing is the cameras attached to the cars (some of which were destroyed/damaged during filming) are probably more expensive than the cars themselves
s\was abt 2 say thai alsosaidthat in the kast vid
dude they were go-pros... hardly lol
No.
those were gopros, they'd survive that with some big scuffs, but still usable
How expensive do you think GoPros are???
Matt, Yianni and Taylor are a great trio. Would like to see more videos with all of you 😁
Yep. Those trios i belive are so much better than in Savage Geese and Doug Demuro.
I’d love to as well, although i don’t want him to disappear from alex’s videos
It feels that they have a similar vibe of the holy three from top gear. I would def enjoy their tv show 😅
Yanni yanni yanni yanni yanni yanni yanni yanni yanni yanni yanni yanni yanni yanni yanni yanni yanni yanni yanni yanni yanni
nah Andrew Tate for sure
now these are interesting and cool videos! drag races are cool (and kind of addictive), but i love watching old cars put to the limit like this
3 great hosts, 3 cool cars great video. Grahams intro was fantastic editing 😂👍
Nothing is better than the sound he makes at 17:59 , wicked.
Yep. Clarkson Season 9 vibes here.
🤣🤣
Nani?! Yamerooo xD
Real fun and straight bloke that Taylor is!
It’s Taylor again!! Wow what a crew! Great video everyone, and amazing seeing Taylor on CarWOW too!!!
I watched this video for days now it's so much fun it reminded me of the old top gear I think carwow must do more of this videos this was by far the best carwow video hands down and that's coming from someone who has watched all reviews drag races even off reading videos with tuner cars sports cars etc all am saying is #carwow the number one motoring show
This was so much more fun than I expected!
Bro seeing the people just flooring the cars through all the puddles and around the corner without a care for damaging the cars, bouncing everywhere across the road is so funny, the fact that they are the top 3 fastest cars around the circuit just shows how much their skills have improved
More so they dont give a fuck about ruining the vehicle, cant be that aggressive when merc loan you a g wagon lmao
@@user-jv3jh7bu8ethanks @user-jv3jh7bu8e
Well, the exact same idea worked for Top Gear for years…
Looks more like a police chase really pointless 😴
@@MKRM27 This CarWow OffRoad Battle has some vibes from Top Gear Season 10 flashback.
Every body gangsta til the air bag goes off
These 3 guys deserve to make a trio,they are so funny.
The Graham sound effects are my favorite thing ever. Also, I love the off road races that feature cars you can actually toss around a bit!!
Those sounds effects are funny to children. its childish af. Anyway.
@@harryraam9566 Harry Raam, the Panamera has better offroading capability than even Ford Explorer SUV.
@@harryraam9566 its goofy ahh
@@harryraam9566 Yikes. You must be fun at parties.
@@BnaBreaker you're a grown man.. act like it, or not. Merry Xmas btw, and i mean it.
We need more videos like this guys!
Yeah but fair ones. Lots of people pointing out how he's always helping LR in these challenges by some sketchy methods. He needs to accept we've spotted it and start being fair. The only other manufacturer he is fair to on these vids is Suzuki, which are brilliant offroad yes but he puts Toyota and all them at disadvantages in these vids and it's getting hard to watch as it's so blatant.
I like this content as well❤
@@bigduphusaj162 your comment makes no sense
@@dannyhernandez9113 makes perfect sense it's just you're American and have trouble understanding proper English, cheers.
@@bigduphusaj162 did you have a stroke?
carwow should have its own TV show.
As a car lover guy it hurts to see these cars being used like that I would love to have anyone in these 3 I would love the car a lot and take good care of it
That’s life Sami. I know what you mean.
Don’t worry Matt Watson has earned more than 5k just on this video
used for the purpose those cars are supposed to be used for? Especially the range rover, made to be taken off road... not babied
@@gymlifemotivator5016 yes I know they are supposed to be used like that but if it was the lastest range Rover or porches they would use it with care not to scratch it coz they cost a lot but these cars are cheap to them so no worries even if they get destroyed
@@robfulano2552 Thanks a lot bro that someone understood what I said ❤️
This was the best video of carwow this year, so much laughter from this one! Great vibes from these 3!
Also for me
AGREED!

This reminds me of the old Top Gear! The genuine fun you guys have is amazing.

SPEED AND POWAHHH
@@ukaszpaluch4950 I had a feeling when Maki Nishikino ever screamed "CLARKSOOOOOOON!!!!!".
@@trololo666 CLARKSOOOOOOON!!!!!!
That was so much fun. You should do it more with them. Thanks for this glorious battle. ❤❤💙💙
Yanni and mat ramming each other is the funniest thing 😂😂😂
Matt adding a hill climb to brake test is equivalent to Having paid off Ref 👀
range rover won that easy
I watch Mat but I'm under no illusions. He's been caught pulling every stunt in the book on these 4x4 vids and they all seem to favour one brand LR. Anyone who rates an RR higher than an LC off road needs taken with a pinch of salt. Besides the blatant LR shillery he is only fair to Suzuki in the other vids.. and he tries very hard to make sure Toyota vehicles are always at a disadvantage tyre wise or 4wd package wise. He's not long compared an older LC with the most basic powertrain package and worn road tyres against a brand new RR full package and aftermarket tyres. Also downhill decent gets you into trouble on green lanes, it gets you stuck if the decent is really rough and the surface has enough rough areas to stop the car. I don't know anyone that uses it and anywhere it would be needed like towing stuff down an incline it's deactivated. Total pointless gimmick as your foot on the brake does a way better job so I've no idea why it's even in a 4x4 offroad test.
These episodes are dumb
Yup
@@bigduphusaj162 wtf are LR LC RR LC ?? You've written a long ass comment but didn't bother to write the full pronunciation of these
Feels old Top Gear! Thanks, Matt, Yanni, Taylor and all the other people who made this video!
ARES, Shame Top Gear in 2022 cant match Carwow.
I love how the one car with a towbar got pushed from behind the most. Truly showing a tow bar is not for towing, but for preventing damage when somebody hits your ass.
Having Taylor and Yianny together is the best thing ever. Keep on bringing Taylor he is hilarious.
😂😂this is the craziest video of the year...it was fun watching it
This video was fun Af good trio! I love how much fun you guys had wrenching the cars 😂
I’d imagine these results would be a hell of a lot different if everyone had to drive their car home after these challenges. 😂 Range Rover was the best…
Yeah 😂
Range Rover was definitely the best the others drove like they stole it compared to the Range Rover
Those range rovers are terrible they belong in the dumpster
@@20yearsagoagreed they are shit
The challenge should have included being able to drive the car home afterwards 😂
Then the range rover would have won.
This is so unfair for the range rover. You've bought the smallest engine for it, the smallest gearbox for it, the cheapest tires for it and for the rocky hill climb, he had a tiny run up unlike the other cars
Clearly not a scientific test, more for entertainment. It achieved that. If I were going off road, I’d take the L322 every time!
This video is an instant classic! It was so entertaining to watch.
Ohh wow, the background bass noise 🥰of the engine when it's Idling is so satisfying to hear on earphones 🎧
Mat never fails to wow us with all these insane drag races, reviews and videos!
Not us, just u
@@4idied._ burn😭
@@4idied._ it's a bot.. the same repetitive generic boring comments all the time..
How much paid for this comment 😂
@@aaqibroshen619 its clearly a bot... the same generic repetitive nonsense every video.. the comments pop up even before a normal person has a chance to watch the videos.. definitely carwow behind it..
Matt tricked Rover to run "as smooth as possible", which he did. And then the two just straight up trashed their cars to grab the top two spots.
we need more videos like these where u guys are just thrashing cars
Im glad to see Taylor getting so much well deserved exposure
If Range Rover would have a V8, I think the outcome would be absolutely different
Came to the comments for this, others were using brute power to overcome the obstacles and the RR was left helpless, still a fun video through...
Plus if he raised the suspension earlier lol.
Range Rover would’ve easily won with a V8, plus the air suspension wasn’t in its full setting for a lot of the video, momentum was necessary for half this course.
Its still the most capable car here.
@@rdmz135 yeah which shows how far ahead it would of been with an equivalent engine
This gotta be the best video by far, if it was 2 hours I’d enjoy every second
You got it.
Hi mat i watch almost all of your videos and this one was by far the funnyest off road one thank you for making it interesting
them constantly bumping into each other is genuinely so funny
"Brilliant offroading???" Rover won hands down. I have done than stuff like that with a Volkswagon Beetle. I didnt see much " finesse" You can get over most obstacles with with enough speed and stupidity. But the rover will drive home, others will need repairs first.
As I don't own a rr I'm confused that some people praise its capability and some joke about its unreliability Which side should I lean
@@amritmahotsav3378 capabilities are always better
@@amritmahotsav3378 As a first time owner of an RR I cant really answer that. Mine has been good, with no more issues than I would have on any 15 year old vehicle. In my opinion people are trying to do repairs on the cheap and without proper troubleshooting, knowledge and tools. They are a unique vehicle, standard practices do not apply and short cuts generally lead to more failures. However that being said I was referring to the ability of each vehicle in the video, It could have been a 4runner, Jeep , or pickup instead of an RR. Both the Porsche and the BMW had to be abused to make it thru the challenge and required repairs before they could be driven home. The RR could have left and driven home without repairs had they not torn the front bumper by pushing the Porsche. The BMW and Porsche are out of their element, similar to using a Beetle for the challenge. With enough speed and stupidity it would complete the course but also have finished with damage. Requiring repairs to be made before being able to drive home. Just because it has 4WD does not make it suitable for off road use.
0:24 Nice introduction 😆 BTW I liked the demolition derby
This was the best Christmas gift. The most fun off road race ever. None of them had chill this time
these Off-road Episodes are Comedy GOLD! love them!
One of the most entertaining videos in the channel! It reminded me of Old Top Gear, great chemistry between all 3!
can't wait for derby episodes. Make it happen matt!!! (A lot of joy at this one)
You can clearly see that Taylor is the only one that works on cars, he was the most gentle on his car even though it’s probably gonna be scrap
2 months ago you bought all of them for 5000. And definitely it was worth it. Enjoyed the video.
Another 5000 pounds could have been enough to repair these three vehicles and to drive them a few years more.
I shouldn't be laughing as hard as I am right now, this video is brilliant, and watching graham tumble over every time is so hillarious!!
Graham will never hear/see the end of that fall he had 🤣🤣🤣🤣
How off-roading should be done 😂😅 love it. Love the team on this one
Agreed.
Gotta love those old car videos they really push them to the limits its amazing
mat was like : i’m a porsche with no brakes 😅
Definitely the best entertaining Carwow video so far 😂😂
this was the best carwow video ever. combo of yani , taylor and savage offroading
If the Rangie had the run up, up that hills (the first one was driver error), the others had, that would have changed the results !!
With more speed ( and better tires would help too) the range would have no problem with the uphill challenges.
Best episode ever. Last time I really enjoyed a car video was the old top gear... Really enjoyed this video 😍😍👍👍👍💯💯💯
is lovely to watch those old car racing
Tayloorrrr abosluete legend
You should watch auto Alex too
@Jorge Vazquez I know him cause of Auto Alex and their adventures mate. I'm a huge fan of him too, thanks for telling, cause he a gem too 😂💯
why do I get a lot of Top Gear vibe from this video?! 😅😅
Because people in every youtube car video comment section get Top Gear vibes. I guess if you have a few guys and a few cars and play some games, it equates to Top Gear.
Great trio ❤ we need them in more vids
The funniest carwow video.Make more plz
Got to be the best off road challenge to date. Absolutely brilliant, especially knowing you don't need to take it easy with these older 4x4s 🤣🤣🤣
This was fun but would also be cool if you weren’t “testing” to a large degree the state of repair of these cars rather than their original capability. And matching trims- eg air on the Cayenne as well
Porsches way of fixing off road problems be like Just put more speed in it
This is what we need from every carwow video!
THIS IS THE TYPE OF OFFROADING WE WANT
Agree. Even Kinako Sakurakoji wanted it.
Taylor is so great! Seen him first on Alex' channel. Such a polite guy. Please more!
This channel has made me more interested in beating off-road suv than I ever thought I would be
the fact is Porsche's headlight used in Ebay costs around 1000$
Like to see some of those challenges again but with the Range Rover in high range and a similar length run up to the hill as the other two
Yes, Taylor is a good guy, but keeping it in low range took away all momentum.
ps: I know Taylor was told to have it in low range. Bad advice.
And Porsche with air suspension and difflocks.
Yeah the Range Rover wasn't going as hard as the other two cars therefore it wasn't fair
@@eastbaystreet1242 the Range Rover talk more precaution where is the other two floored it wasn't fair
loved the video. Mad driving. Would love to see a similar 1 with the Gen 3 RAV 4 v similar SUVs. Thanks
Me gusto mucho esta pruebas de manejo
Great video!!! Very unfair out come in last race.....how can BMW come 2nd when it had to be pushed over the the line.... that's a DNF in ANY race book 🤔 should have got bonus points for that 😜
The BMW was a good car
Bitter Range Rover driver lol
@@muckspreader1able bmw fanboy lol. ofc, you cant count anyway.
@@alexandruseizu5465 don't own either you clown.Keep crying into your money pit.🤣
I was thinking the same thing, how come the bmw got points on the last race if it didn't finish, also the up the hill the land rover guy didn't have room to speed up while the other two did
Man that X5 is solid as a rock
LOL. Matt definitely took inspiration from old top gear challenge's logic and created this rather entertaining video.
Every time they show poor Graham falling over I actual LoL.
Killed it Matt. Great content We love Carwow ❤️ Merry Christmas mates
These guys should do more stuff together. I love Matt, but having two guys like this with him elevates it to next level. These guys could easily make new TopGear and get just as big. Not that Carwow is not big enough tho.
this has got to be one of my favorite videos by far!
Such a great trio. We need more of Taylor!
I just love how they were all hitting each other the whole time - definitely one of the funniest carwow videos cuz I was absolutely dying the whole time
Next video: How much would cost to fully repair each vehicle, after driving it like this and having some fun! This will be interesting… 😂🤣
Clarkson and Hammond: HITORI DAKE NANTE ERABENAI YO!
Be an absolute fortune. Probably at least 5x what the car is worth if not 10x . The porsche and bmw had extensive bodywork damage.
This is one of the BEST videos from carwow

EL MÁS DIVERTIDO DE TODOS MAAT. SALUDOS DESDE 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴👏👏👏
Girl why are these $15,000 dollar cars in the states 😂
These are probably high mileage and trashed beyond any economical reason to fix them. Electronics and suspension are crazy expensive to fix.
@@puciohenzap891 used cars are much cheaper in UK than mainland Europe, because only uk and Ireland drive on the wrong side and their used cars are not in demand in other european countries, also are quite wealthy nations and many peoples just buy brand new ones
@@Tonyx.yt. Cyprus is also left lane, so they import also used cars from england.
@@ClashForYou but is a way too small market to absorb cars from uk and Ireland
@@Tonyx.yt. yea that's right, India buys more cars from england then cyprus.
Genuinely surprised how good they all were especially on normal tyres
good luck to everyone and a more perfect new year than the previous ones, I notice that that range rover is unused as it should be, until finding out the suspension that goes up from the button and other ways of driving, gravel, rock, snow, mud.. .which have different options on the transmission differential ... what can I say, the video is for viewing, not to show people what good cars were made 10 years ago or better ... but with all that, you can't help but notice how cool the range rover vogue is on the 1st place... then I could say that the cayenne is more powerful and different, but I still stick to the range, the power of that car and the way it manages the rotation of the wheels on different tasks is incredible, yes I would take it a range dela just to burn fuel and crazy taxes, then I would buy a porche cayenne just to go for a walk and do tests with the brake that doesn't hold
This was funny! Very impressed by that BMW, especially considering it never advertised itself for off-road ability like the other 2.
BMW X1 and Lancer EVO VI TME: HITORI DAKE NANTE ERABENAI YO!
Theres a few factory options that made them even better than this, like the air suspension on all corners and underbody protection.
Poor Cayenne, ended up looking like it was part of a demolition derby
Top Gear should be these three, top quality content.
taylor is such a funny guy, fun to see him on the channel also love it when he's with alex kersten. you and yanni should do a challenge against taylor and alex 🤔🤔
The Cayenne will forever be iconic
the way Graham stacked😂😂 priceless
Best trio ever!!

@@jponz85 right
@@jponz85 also while the BMW and RR had many issues, I’d say the cayenne was in a really good condition in the beginning of the video and no power loss. Just the breaks ig that’s it
@@jponz85 no one in that position would be running one of these cars. The costs would be ruinous. If these were cars Taylor could have retailed he would have. Likely wouldn’t pass another MOT without a lot of work.
