Video with Nissan Pathfinder, Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 150 & Mitsubishi Pajero Sport: • SUV Battle 2021: Brema...
Please let me know in the comment section below: What car was a surprise for you and from which one you've expected more?
"Lovers of ideal condition should close this video" 🤣🤣
I like you enjoy this joke ;-)
I'd like to see exreme muddy conditions
This channel is seriously underrated ! KZhead should recommend it more ! I know how much hardwork is put into making these videos ! Amazing job! Greetings from Türkiye!
It's very difficult for KZhead to recommend good quality channels, especially if they're outside the USA. But you can find tons of utter garbage from everywhere...! 🤣
cars that impressed me was Mitsubishi outlander, Kia Sorrento, hyundai Santa fe
just watch mitsubishi pajero sport
They were all newer than the others too.
@@bekirsivri80 haha thats not the same category. This is soccer mom SUV test
Santa Fe and Sorento never disappoint me~ great job!
Even my 2WD Kia Optima has never let me down on snowy terrain, tbh. It's impressive how their traction control system works
Hyundai owns Kia so they have very similar all-wheel-drive systems
Outlander owner here 💪
It's almost as if Toyota deliberately handicapped the Highlander traction control system in order to sell the more expensive Prado/4Runner. Great content as always!
Absolutely true. They are great game players. Thats why they reduce space inside to sell sequoia. AWD game is same like you said. Now when youtubers try to show their awd in capability then they tie up with Subaru to make it better. 2021 highlander is little bit more capable.
but who is going off road in a highlander though? my wife has an 18' highlander xle and i have an 18' 4runner trd off road which we can go exploring in. even if i didn't have a 4runner, i never thought of off roading my wifes highlander and hers is AWD.
That means if you opt for Toyota, u need to buy onroad & offroad suv?🙄🙄
@@gardenst4398 It’s called buying what you want to buy. It’s a pretty basic concept when you have a free will to buy any vehicle you want. Pretty brilliant.
The 2nd gen Highlanders are a little bit better than the 3rd gen (one used in this video) they’re a constant 50/50 split power front rear, not a sort of slip and grip
Great job trying to eliminate as many differences as possible and the narration is on point! Excellent video once again!
Damn I didn't know the Santa Fe was that strong 😶😶😍
it isn't about strength, the ESP programming is very good.
Hyundai looks nice, good build quality and performance
I drive a 2018 2.4L santafe sport AWD and its absolutely amazing for everyday driving smooth and really fun.
@@YxdGarde we just got a santa fe 2020 recently but it's diesel and 7str and also 4wd. I didn't know really stable it was until I watched this
Considering the fact that the participating Santa Fe is only a 2.4 naturally aspirated engine. Amazing HTRAC AWD by Hyundai. Got a 2.0Turbo Santa Fe and it’s loving the snow
I love this channel. Straight to the point and a lot of cars tested
What is you favorite car in this video?
@@SUVBattlemit outlander
this channel is criminally underrated.😞
Great thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see in the future videos?
@@SUVBattle I like range rover...so anyone from them would make me happy
@@SUVBattle A video idea if you have some free time, You guys can 'review' individual suvs and give thoughts on thier offroad capablity and mechanical reliablity over the years. Can talk about things like how good is thier traction control, how much can it flex to make sure all wheels are touching ground etc Also get a tyre sponsor for that sweet sweet cash $$$
True
@@SUVBattle more older like 90s please
I drive a 2018 2.4L santafe sport AWD and its absolutely amazing for everyday driving smooth and really fun, i would really appreciate it if you use it in other conditions in future videos.
wooooooow. . . . .what a performance from all participants. Thanks again for your informative narrative. Your viewer all the way from South Africa
Most underrated channel on yt. Keep up the fantastic work! Also, is the compact SUV one thats coming the one you advertised to show that little Dacia Duster brawler?
Dacia Duster is already available at the channel. You can find it in this video: kzhead.info/sun/ltqPna-AoaGElac/bejne.html
Surprised by the small mitsubishi ..its cheaper than hyundai kia fords and many others..and performed really really well
Thank you for these awesome videos bro we appreciate you hard work
One of my favorite channels in youtube keep it up guys love your work
Thanx for watching!
@@SUVBattle one of my favourite also. Small suggestion if it is possible of course. *I personally would like to see much more PHEV's, HEV's, BEV's, REEV's, MHEV's etc..*
Chevy shook & clattered like it was gonna blow up! That was hilarious!
It’s not called a Craptiva for nothing...
Your reviews are the best. Very informative, best channel ever. Thumbs up!
It was a silly decision for Hyundai/Kia to put a DCT in the new Sorento and Sante Fe. These ones with the automatic are very capable off-road.
The Santa Fe has a convential 8 speed. The tuscon uses dct.
I think only the turbo engines are mated to DCT, 2.5 motor is 8 speed auto.
The 2.5 Turbo and the 2.2 Diesel both use a dual clutch in the newest versions of the Sorento and Sante Fe.
@@samuelwarren3306 But non turbo 2.5 does not.
@@ThisGuyRides True, regardless I think Hyundai should have just used the 8 speed automatic in all Sante Fe/Sorento models.
Your vids r amazing. It tests every aspects of a vehicle that is required to be a capable vehicle. Keep up the work!
Great thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see in the future videos?
@@SUVBattle something in the full size luxury segment perhaps, maybe the Lincoln navigator, Range rover vogue, cadillac escalade, gmc yukon, chevy Tahoe, Ford expedition, etc. Or maybe luxury midsized crossovers such as lincoln Nautilus, lexus Rx, Mercedes glc, etc.
I think alot of people were waiting for this video as these are most the vehicles the majority can 'afford' 😁. Thank you so Much, very informative!
Diyas, you read my review from previous video and brought cheaper economically priced vehicles, you are the best!!! Pretty sure the english voice over artist is Canadian, eh!
한국사람으로써 현대,기아 자동차의 성능에 놀라고 갑니다. 잘봤습니다~^^
It's all about tires in the snow, and a good traction control system. Awesome video, once again I enjoy your work! :)
I completely agree with you. But these are private or dealership cars, so it is not possible to replace tires. The budget and time also do not allow for this. But we will do such a test in the future.
@@SUVBattle you’re doing an Exellent job despite the restraints you mentioned. Your testing apart from the tyres is spot on 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great Test of SUVs. Fair, intelligent and objective!👍
The Santafe is extraodinary supprising. What a great video.
I’m glad that you liked the video. Any specific cars you would like to see in upcoming video?
Brilliant videos. I love the ability to let action speak louder than marketing materials.
I’m glad that you liked the video. Any specific cars you would like to see in upcoming video?
Love your videos, please upload more!
I Love This Video !!!.. Im So Excited To See The Next Videos !! Greetings From *Indonesia* 😘🇮🇩
Excellent work....no other channels do this comparison....We need more such videos...new suvs👏👏👏👏
Unfortunately, it takes couple weeks to make a video. So that I upload video once per month. But, perhaps, the team would be bigger and I will be able to do it more often.
@@SUVBattle yes I know, it takes hell lot of time....Please include Ford Explorer, Expedition, VW Terramont, Tiguan, Volvo, Audi Q7, Pilot etc to see how Haldex AWD works in such tricky terrain. Ford too has best AWD. I have driven VW Terramont @140 km/h in snow on highway & it feels rock solid stable! Japanese have horrible AWD except Subaru & Honda. Please include new suv as the old awd clutch may undergo wear or new revisions or versions is better like Haldex gen 5 is better than old one.
I have the 2012 santa fé 3.5, and I can say it for sure that my car never did let me down, I don't have snow here in Brasil, but I do have rain, dirt roads, mud, drizzly, sand, etc, I've being through it all, and even though I'm not more than an average off road driver (at best) , I still managed to never get stuck.
Greetings from Alaska. Great channel! Keep up the nice work. I really enjoy your videos. I have to comment on the Chevy. It sounded horrible like it was going to fall apart and it performed poorly.
nice! good job! what a wonderful video! I have never seen a channel like this.
Great thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see in the future videos?
@@SUVBattle The suv lineup is very satisfactory. I would be grateful if AWD's sedan was added. BTW then it won't be suvbattle TT;
Third time watching this channel - and for the third time - very well done. Impressive stuff from the Skoda, in spite of using the inferior haldex-based part time 4WD.
Great thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see in the future videos?
Great videos, so before buying skoda Kodiaq In the uk....We test drive many versions from1.4 to 1.5 2.0 150bhp front wheel drive petrol and diesel only too and 4 wheel drive. 7 seats. Auto We bought 1.5 petrol front wheeldrive to go off road and farm land Halloween pumpkin picking. Found it extremely Exciting and easy to drive in bad conditions with 7 people inside and snow conditions foot high snow with winter tyres.... So you don't really need 4 wheel drive we notice. 2 years now and still very comfortable quick car.
Great job as always!
Thanks for these wonderful videos you make
Great thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see in the future videos?
Fantastic realistic test ...thankyou for these every day real tests 👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
Thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see on this obstacle?
Awesome awesome channel. More premium SUV's please...
I'm amaze about how good the traction on the Kia/Hyundai very easy i like to see them in a more difficult condition to see how it perform. I love your vids, I'm from Panama🇵🇦
Yes Those are from the recently dazzling shinng Great South Korea
The First generation Sorento is even tougher off-road
I recently bought a 2016 frontier, enjoying your work.
Congrats! And thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see on this obstacle?
@@SUVBattle how about Jeep Cherokee and Wrangler. Something that would be expected to do well & compare the others to.
Outlander did very good. Kia and Hyundai were also impressive. I'd also be interested in seeing more tests where tire isn't as much of a factor.
I completely agree with you. The same tires will add objectivity. But since I do not have a car tire factory, we work with what we have. At the moment, we are checking that the tire pressure corresponds to the factory values (for each car individually).
@@SUVBattle me too
Mitsubishi killing it with their AWD system
Cool video! Unpleasantly surprised with the Hilander and Tribeca and very pleasantly surprised with the Outlander and Santa Fe/Sorento. Tires makes such a huge difference!!
I completely agree with you. But these are private or dealership cars, so it is not possible to replace tires. The budget and time also do not allow for this. But we will do such a test in the future.
Awesome, keep it up! Regards from Austria

Thabk you for such an amazing video
I’m glad that you liked the video. Any specific cars you would like to see in upcoming video?
@@SUVBattle I actually like the sets you be picking. I be learning more and more about these car companies
Great content
Was really surprised by how the Outlander completely bossed it
From 2019 onwards, there was a *big upgrade of S-AWC* (Super-AllWheelControl) with Mitsubishi. Nothing could stop me yet :) Outlander PHEV 2020 • 3cm spacer lift • bigger 225/75r16 Bridgestone Dueler 001 A/T tyres. • lift in total: 5cm
@@user-qw4jy1oy9r you have photos, IG?
Mitsubishi needs proper designers. Their meh looks hurt them.
Great channel, am sure it will grow. Would prefer the main host (Deus, spelling?) to still do the commentary - gives it more identity and character.
Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦
Glad to see you! What is you favorite car in this video?
i like chevrolet trailblazer
Amazed at how Hyundai performed..
Right? I was shocked at how well it performed and held up during this test!
Y are you prejudiced? Hyundai/ kia are in the shortlist for any buyer these days
Subscribed. This will help me choose which SUV I will buy!
Great thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see in the future videos?
Mitsubishi surprised me the most in a good way but I expected better performance from the Toyota
Mitsubishi always doin great in a camparo like this!😅 only USA treat mitsubishi as garbage, US market sleeping on this brand for a long time..😅
@@Tatalino511 yeah
@@Tatalino511 exactly, they're Japan's hidden gem, and they're built in Japan which means they're JDM.
Hallo Diyas. Danke für das klasse Video und das Du meinem Wunsch nachgekommen bist. Bin sehr überrascht wie gut sich der Skoda geschlagen hat im Test.
Great thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see in the future videos?
This is good, honestly, I needed this because I’m moving somewhere that’s super super wintry and been struggling to come to term with a suv to buy. Can you make one for compact suv?
Naks, what an eye opener from these video! I'm from tropical country, so I don't worry much about the specific usage of tires until now. But since this video was taken during winter, so the tires used must be for icy roads. And judging the video, from zero to 12:39, Korean made cars have it conquered easily, but Japanese made ones, encountered difficulties in moving on the obstacles.
And this Ford Explorer, at 17:58, hardly made out of the obstacle, well, it's very sad. But one thing I knew, these compact SUV, is being recalled according to a Chief Mechanic I was talking, while watching the Explorer towed by another vehicle to the dealer's own shop.
I like a lot your videos!!! Thank you. 👌👏👏👏
Thanx for watching! What is you favorite car in this video?
@@SUVBattle Toyota Highlander, but it was very disappointed. 😢
I just got a brand new mitsubishi asx 2021 2.0lt 4wd and i have to say,its a little devil on snow,though you feel the obstacles reach your bones,its pretty badass on making it throu
I would like to see a review with Honda CRV, I apologize if you have already done one. I've found it to be a very capable vehicle. Love the channel.
thank you. it was great
Love your videos 👍😊
Thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see on this obstacle?
@@SUVBattle Any BMW SUV I would like to see how the BMW X drive system work in the snow
Finally good test with the good version of outlander V6 S-AWC !!!!!!
Thank you so much for considering what I asked for 😁😁😁
Welcome! And what cars would you like to see in the future videos?
@@SUVBattle u have done what I've asked for and that was to see the santa fe perform.
sehr guter Test, Vielen Dank!
nice channel , informative
Great thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see in the future videos?
Thanks for Sorento. Škoda and Mitsubishi surprised me, Toyota was a bit dissapointment. Great video as always. Is there a way to support your channel?
Kia and Hyundai is quite the same
its good that the new highlander has a new awd system, I have a 2016 highlander and the traction control cuts all power when a wheel is in the air.
KIA SORENTO .
Hyundai/Kia 👍👍
Another Great video!
Thank you for your feedback! Any preferences about cars for the next videos?
@@SUVBattle bring pickup trucks
The Outlander PHEV (Plug-In-Hybrid) also has an electronic center locking differential, due to using a dual motor setup. They have a button on the center console for that. The computer just needs to match the RPM of both the front and rear electric motors to behave like a mechanical locking diff would. (At least on the 2016 model that my parents drive - I haven't come across the newer versions yet)
I have Chevy Captiva and I'm a quite dissapointed of the traction system that saw in this video 😟, but with a little more acceleration the car have good performances off road. I've tested it already and did well. 😁
Diyas, consider matching cars with similar horsepower, trim, price, on both rough terrain, but also on a snowy drag strip. older audi Q5, bmw x3, mb glk, ford escape, kia sportage, sante fe, XC60,
Can't wait untill you test the new Bronco Sport. I really want to see if the rear "locker" works. Cheers from Colombia South America
I wish I could find this car and test it on offroad. Who to take as rivals? Subscribe to not to miss this video.
Love the Sorento👍👍👍
Great test and I have to say the Kia Sorrento is one of the top contenders.
Wow amazing video!! there is one thing I wanna know where is the track I would like to go with my Ford explorer?
Great job!
Thank you for your feedback! Any preferences about cars for the next videos?
Amazing, well done.
The Ford was a little disappointing but maybe that's the tires.
great vid. Do you have any tests using the 2010-12 Toyota RAV4?
Thanx for watching. I don't have 2010-2012 Rav4, but i have 2014 2.5... technically it's a same cars. You can look it here: kzhead.info/sun/nLilh8OOqnSLgq8/bejne.html

I’m glad that you liked the video. Any specific cars you would like to see in upcoming video?
Santa Fe surprised me .....❤️
The Santa Fe did quite well, I think that the 2.2 CRDI would have been better for this. I'm disappointed in the Captiva, it might be old but the ESP seems too weak, and I don't think that if it had a diesel engine it would have fared any better. The Pilot has too much wheelspin but its age is surely playing against it and the tires seemed to have poor grip. The Kodiac seems to have the best traction control though it's a bit aggressive and that could lead to damage. I'm looking forward to your next video and a rematch on dry ground!!
Thanks for idea! I will try to do it later. Subscribe to not to miss the video.
Mitsubishi legendary awd ftw
Perfect thanks Diyas👌👌👏👏👏👏😊😊😊😊😊
Skoda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Hyundai, Ford, Kia, Honda, Chevrolet, Toyota
Good test, I like when tester know what they are doing and saying
Thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see on this obstacle?
Nice video!
Thanks for your feedback! What cars would you like to see on this obstacle?
Could you possibly test a 2010 Highlander (2nd gen). I believe traction control and AWD is much better for that model year.
I’m loving this channel, I would love to see how Jeeps that aren’t trailhawks would do in these test
There is no dealership of Jeep in my country. But if I would have a chance to find listed cars, I will definitely do it. Subscribe to not to miss the video.
Wow, so amazing and exciting 😁🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿 see Kazakh and push like 💡💡💡👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That’s why I love my 2020 Sorento 💪💪💪
That Hyundai Santa Fe looks like the 2.0 T model not the 2.4 NA mentioned in th video. I thought those wheels only came on the turbo model. I have a 2020 Santa Fe 2.0 T model and love it so far.
Features and specification vary from country. I believe these are Kazakhstan delivered vehicles and would differ in specification depending on where you're from.
Awesome video and i would really like to see mitsubishi ASX its small city SUV.
I have already filmed Mitsubishi ASX versus Subaru XV, Chevrolet Tracker etc. Hope later it will be available at the channel.
"In the next video" you showed Kia-Sportage, Hyundai-Tusson, Japanese Rav4, etc.. However I couldn't find this video in your playlist. Could you write the link in reply?
Can't wait to watch this! Wish there could have been a Mazda CX-5 because that's what I drive!
Just saw this was 3 row SUVs so maybe the Mazda will be in the upcoming one 🤞very impressed with the Hyundai/Kias
I have a video with CX-5 on the channel. You can already watch it. Here is the link: kzhead.info/sun/ft6RfpiRontudHA/bejne.html
Marked difference between Mitsubishi auto and CVT trans of the 2.4. Also the Sante Fe and Tucson being from the same stable the Sante Fe is far superior. Similarly the Highlander and Landcruiser. Great video. Thanks
i had a 2wd captiva for 10 years, did some light offroading with it, sometimes wheels lifted up a bit and i traction control didn't feel that weak, weird... now i drive a rav4 (2wd, hybrid) and traction control is still weak...extremely low rpm, weak braking, too focused for snowy roads but not snow if that makes sense... hahah
Outlander...didn't expect to pass
