1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,560
There we go.
(SQUEALS)

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,480
This time we're getting jiggy.

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,360
A little bit more fluid.
Keep it steady on the throttle.

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,640
With Ford's crowd pleasing hybrids.

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,080
Have you driven before?
Have you got a licence?

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,400
We ask whether a brand new brand
is smart enough

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,000
to topple the Germans
in the luxury car stakes?

8
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:26,160
It's like the car is giving me
a hug to say thank you

9
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:27,760
for unleashing
all that power.

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,640
Can the driving dynamics of an EV
be transformed...

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,000
..by high tech upgrades?

12
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,320
I mean, there is more grip for sure,
steering's more precise.

13
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,720
But first,
EV expert Grace Webb

14
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,240
teams up with Jason to tackle
a big question for many families.

15
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,120
This is Fifth Gear.

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,360
But with a difference.

17
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,080
They'll still be screaming.

18
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,240
And squealing.

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,040
Would you just slow down?

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,400
And shouting.

21
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,600
Stupid idea!
I can't listen to this nonsense.

22
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,080
But they'll also be this.

23
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:12,960
The EV revolution is here.

24
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,960
But are electric vehicles
right for you?

25
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,680
What are the costs,
choices and challenges.

26
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,560
And how do they stack up against
the petrol powered rivals?

27
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,200
We're here to tell you everything
you need to know

28
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,640
about the new
automotive landscape.

29
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,400
This is the future of driving.

30
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,920
This is Fifth Gear Recharged.

31
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,600
Here's the thing.

32
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,560
SUVs, or sport utility vehicles
are big business,

33
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,600
accounting for 45% of cars
sold in this country.

34
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,240
They can cram in loads of kids.
You get all the toys.

35
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,200
And many are now plug-in,

36
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,920
like this Hyundai seven seater
Santa Fe,

37
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,840
a big family favourite.

38
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,880
But VW's new kid on the block
shouts 'Do you really need an SUV'?

39
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,520
It's seriously aiming to take
a slice out of their sales.

40
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,400
And guess what?
It's a van.

41
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,440
Have we gone back to the sixties
where vans were cool?

42
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:19,400
Feast your eyes on this,
the Volkswagen T7 Multivan.

43
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:20,880
Beauty.

44
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,640
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's cool, isn't it?

45
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,440
It looks like a traffic cone.

46
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,920
Yep. This is mono silver
and energetic orange.

47
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,640
Do you have to pay extra for that?

48
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,320
Well, you do,
and I wouldn't pay extra for it.

49
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,640
I hate the colour.
Look at it. It's a box.

50
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,240
And that's good
because that's practical.

51
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,120
You can fit a lot in a box...
Yeah.

52
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,640
..but it needs to look nicer
on the inside.

53
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,240
I think you will be
pleasantly surprised.

54
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,080
The VW in this spec,
which includes keyless entry,

55
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,720
a tricked up infotainment system,

56
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,240
and that rather eye catching
two tone will set you back 53 grand.

57
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,960
Prices for the Santa Fe
start at £40,250,

58
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,320
but this ultimate spec model
is also a plug in

59
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,920
and has four-wheel drive,
so costs around 49 grand.

60
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,600
So they're both
in the same ballpark.

61
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,880
But the Hyundai is cheaper
and has more kit.

62
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,320
So what's your EV only range?

63
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,520
30 Miles exactly,
which is pretty good.

64
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,360
36.

65
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,960
Oh it's going to be like that then,
is it? Come on.

66
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,400
Hyundai first.
Yeah.

67
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,320
I'll take you for a drive.

68
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,840
We're doing three real world tests,
measuring first road comfort,

69
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,400
second practicality,
and third, agility and handling.

70
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,760
Welcome to my Santa Fe.

71
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,760
SUV as our benchmark comes first.

72
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,240
Feel free to touch
my premium surfaces.

73
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,480
Ah do you know what? That's not bad,
is it, that's quite nice.

74
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,000
It's not bad, this stuff
on the roof is nice feel.

75
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,000
The progress Hyundai
has made is astonishing.

76
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,000
They make good bits of kit now.

77
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,720
Do you know what I like?
All the buttons

78
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,440
I want volume on a button.

79
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,120
Mm-hmm.
I want my heating on buttons.

80
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,040
It's alright, Grace,
it's not a bad motor, I think.

81
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,840
You've got engine on now,
haven't you.

82
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,400
Yes, so we're in hybrid mode
at the moment.

83
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,080
It feels good on the road.
It rides well, it's quiet.

84
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,360
Feels quite refined.

85
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,560
Yeah. And it's comfortable.
Are you comfortable?

86
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,000
Your long legs?

87
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,480
Yeah, I'm OK.

88
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,240
It does feel massive, though.

89
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,880
I'm looking out the rear window

90
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,280
and it just seems
to go back for miles.

91
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,080
Yeah, it is big actually, isn't it?

92
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,280
Give it a bit of go go,
see what it goes like.

93
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,360
Right we are in sport mode,
that's flat-footed.

94
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,920
Is it, is it really?
Yeah.

95
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,200
Mm. That's not very exciting, is it?

96
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:55,120
On paper, the combined electric
and petrol outputs

97
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,640
is almost 260 horsepower.

98
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,520
OK, so she's not very fast.

99
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,800
No, but it is a two ton SUV.

100
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,520
I think Hyundai are going
for more of the comfort

101
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,840
and the practicality.

102
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,360
And it's a little bit sluggish.

103
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,360
That's why I hate it,
I hate it, because it's just slow.

104
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,520
But say you've got your family
and your dog in the back,

105
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,520
then you want to be
going a bit slow, don't you?

106
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,720
No.

107
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:21,880
(LAUGHS)

108
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,360
So how does the Multivan
compare on the road?

109
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,240
You comfy?

110
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,440
Yeah, surprisingly for a van.
Plenty of leg room.

111
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,200
I'm loving this double arm rest.

112
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:40,520
I just can't get over
how spacious it feels.

113
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,680
But does Van-like space mean
this vehicle has a van-like feel?

114
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,960
It's alright, isn't it?

115
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,400
I like this dashboard;
I like the materials.

116
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,120
Looks like brushed nickel,
it isn't, it's plastic.

117
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,640
Yeah.
Anyway, it looks nice.

118
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,120
It does look expensive, doesn't it.
Yeah, yeah.

119
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,280
It's groovy, though, isn't it,
I mean, it's cool in the back.

120
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,560
I like that there's a lot more
quirks in this than the Santa Fe.

121
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,640
Like you even get
a little van bin down here.

122
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,320
I've spotted those in the doors,
they are good, aren't they?

123
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:13,920
How practical is that?

124
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,920
You even get this centre console

125
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,360
that we can have
our drinks at here.

126
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,520
Very nice,

127
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,520
All these little bits that make it.

128
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,840
Yeah, that's clever.

129
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,600
Right, the ultimate test then

130
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,760
would be to put your foot down
and see what happens in the van.

131
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,880
Definitely nosier than the Santa Fe.

132
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,280
I mean, it goes OK.

133
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,440
But that picked up so much more.
Yeah.

134
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,480
The VW has a slightly smaller
1.4 litre petrol engine,

135
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,080
which combines with the electric
motor to produce 218 horsepower.

136
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,040
It drives well enough.
My only criticism is it's noisy.

137
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,520
There's just
a constant van-ness to it.

138
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,400
Yeah, yeah.

139
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,960
But it drives like a very nice van.

140
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,080
So which motor clinches round one?

141
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:16,800
On just pure driving
and a place to be,

142
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,720
it would be the Hyundai.

143
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,160
I agree.

144
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,560
1-0 to the car.

145
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,080
It ain't over yet.

146
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,640
Come back later when we've got
more testing to be done

147
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,880
and we'll see which multi seater
comes out on top

148
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,920
with SUV versus Van.

149
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,360
We've even got a real family.

150
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,200
Right come on,
we're late for the pub.

151
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,000
Did he say pub?

152
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,520
Coming up, we check out a new brand
that promises to be all about you.

153
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,840
The best bit.
It's got a crystal ball.

154
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,000
That's a lot of cones.
That's a lot of cones.

155
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,760
And they look pretty close together.

156
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,200
Oh, I'm holding on.

157
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,320
Plus, we go hard driving
in Ford's new Kuga hybrids.

158
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,400
There's not a lot of roll.

159
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,160
Can I say I had a quite a bit
of roll going on back here?

160
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:07,250
00:16:23.320 -- 00:16:28.120
Time to get a first look
and first drive of a brand-new EV.

161
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,040
Yes, it's the Fifth Gear
recharged team test.

162
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:39,120
Today the team tested a Ford Kuga
full hybrid electric vehicle,

163
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,840
a Forever.

164
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,680
There's a good reason
to be testing this.

165
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,240
It's Ford's crack at a mass market
SUV hybrid,

166
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,760
cleverly targeting
those ready to take a step

167
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,200
towards EV ownership,
but not go the whole hog.

168
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,640
You don't need a charger, and
it looks like a conventional car.

169
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,520
And at £36,000,
it's competitively priced.

170
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,920
There's a petrol engine
helped by an electric motor,

171
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,080
and energy is harvested
during braking

172
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,360
to top up the battery.
But you can't plug it in

173
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,040
and you can't go far
on electric power only.

174
00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:14,840
The system is designed
to deliver lower emissions

175
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,120
and better economy
than a petrol only car.

176
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,920
But does it hang together?

177
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,160
So just to get this really clear,
it's got a petrol engine,

178
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,000
which charges up,
like a generator, a battery.

179
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,680
Yeah, it's a 1.1 kilowatt
hour battery.

180
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,800
So this is just a little bit
of assistance

181
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,440
that help the fuel economy.

182
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,720
I still don't understand how
that works because you've got

183
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,680
your petrol engine, which is being
a generator and driving this.

184
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,800
Yeah.
An engine charging a battery,

185
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,960
we're just passing
energy around.

186
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,800
But this is a really good,
absolute beginner's step

187
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,960
to anyone who's thinking
about going down the electric route

188
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,120
because you don't have to remember
to plug this car in

189
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,720
every time you bring it home.
(LAUGHS)

190
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,840
So, it's for those people
that are lazy.

191
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,440
And also, some people don't have
the option

192
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,400
of having a plug outside
the house.

193
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,920
So, can I just tell something I have
got a bit of an issue with

194
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,440
stood here?
Yeah.

195
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,400
Is this, you know,
that interior plastic,

196
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,840
which is really sort of scratchy,
I've never seen it on the outside.

197
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,840
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but don't you think

198
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,680
that they are smart in putting
the cheaper plastic outside

199
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,160
where you don't really
stand here and touch it?

200
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,200
I suppose you don't.
Looks wise then.

201
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,800
Quite a nice looking thing though,
isn't it?

202
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,720
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Doesn't offend, does it?

203
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,360
No, it's just a nice-looking car.

204
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:25,800
I think I referred to it as vanilla.

205
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,560
Vanilla is OK, isn't it?

206
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,280
Vanilla ice cream.
We all like vanilla.

207
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:31,440
Yeah, it's not raspberry ripple.
I mean, that's a proper ice cream.

208
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,280
Yeah, but you're going to have
to pay extra though, aren't you,

209
00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:34,560
for your raspberry ripple.

210
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,800
It is the best one.
Tutti Fruity.

211
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,520
It's OK, isn't it?

212
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,160
Yeah, it's good, yeah.

213
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,800
Everything on the outside
is as it should be.

214
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,240
Anyway, should we hop in?
Yes, do let's.

215
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,280
What's this for?

216
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:49,760
Well, did you want to try it?

217
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,400
Oh.
Heads up display.

218
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,680
That's a little bit
Starship Enterprise, isn't it?

219
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,120
Yeah.

220
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,400
What I am impressed by is the space,
I mean, is capacious.

221
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,360
I'm feeling really,
with the glass up there. Nice.

222
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:01,720
That's a nice word, isn't it?
Capacious.

223
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,160
Capacious.

224
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,080
Something that is just ruffling
feathers a little bit

225
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,280
is that same plastic
that's on the roof there.

226
00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:12,200
Is the dash the same?

227
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,240
No, we've had a bit more money
spent up here.

228
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,120
And you can recline
your back seat as well.

229
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,000
You've got to be careful
when testing a new car

230
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,800
because sometimes a booby trap
can be found.

231
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,320
So what, so what do I do just...
So there's a..

232
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,040
Ooh!

233
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:28,440
What's happened there?

234
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,640
He's a plonker sometimes, isn't he?

235
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,840
So I can recline this, ah,
that's quite nice, isn't it?

236
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,800
Oh, I like that.

237
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,000
So, what we doing? Are we going down
to the beach, are we?

238
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,560
Family day out.

239
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,520
Right up here, you can now see
what's happening.

240
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,000
Each time I'm lifting off,
the car is regenerating

241
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,560
and sending a bit of juice
back into the battery.

242
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,360
So that's when I lift off
and when I break

243
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,080
and then when I put my foot
on the throttle,

244
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,840
then it sends power
to the front wheels.

245
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,360
So it's front wheel drive only.

246
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,960
So the boys' earlier concern

247
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,040
that the hybrid system is pointless

248
00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:09,840
is not justified,
because the car is storing energy

249
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,120
that would otherwise be wasted
and then uses it when you need it.

250
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,080
So you can see now it's constantly
getting a little bit of a boost.

251
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,600
And also at really low speeds
in town,

252
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,480
it can kick along
in electric power.

253
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:27,840
All of which results in a pretty
respectable 48.7 MPG.

254
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,440
So we got 190 horsepower.

255
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,280
190 horsepower.
Eh?

256
00:20:32,360 --> 00:20:33,960
It's a two and a half litre engine.
I know.

257
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,760
You'd think it would be
more than that.

258
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,520
You got to be using
that now for economy

259
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,640
rather than out and out
performance, haven't you?

260
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,480
0-60 in about 9.1 seconds,
which is, you know,

261
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,720
a little bit lethargic,
but then it is a big family car.

262
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,080
So this car is one of the better
handling SUVs out there.

263
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,160
Anyone for a slalom test?

264
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,040
Oh, I'm up for that.
No, definitely not.

265
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,240
Jimmy doesn't like
any sort of fast drive,

266
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,200
he's quite prone
to be bilious.

267
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,480
Right, are you ready, peeps?
Not really.

268
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,000
Jason and I are trained drivers
with trophies to show for it.

269
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,480
Jimmy would rather scoop
ice cream than prizes.

270
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,600
That's a lot of cones.
That's a lot of cones.

271
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,640
And they look pretty close together.

272
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:12,960
Oh, I'm holding on.

273
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,880
That is a lot of cones,
let's try it, shall we?

274
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,640
Yeah, oh. One.
It's good, isn't it.

275
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,520
Oh, can you turn my traction off?
Do you know what...

276
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,200
Can you find the traction
control button?

277
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:23,840
Erm...

278
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,200
Well, yeah.

279
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,520
There's not a lot of roll,
not a lot of roll.

280
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,880
Can I say I had a quite
a bit of roll going back here.

281
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,560
Even though this is an SUV,

282
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,360
it also gave the driver
a bit of entertainment.

283
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,560
Who else wants a go?

284
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,240
Jimmy, come on,
you and me swap, my love.

285
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:40,880
Come on.
Oh no.

286
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,160
Now I've got two racing drivers
and me,

287
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,960
brace yourself
for the backseat driving.

288
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,960
Brace, brace.

289
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,840
You're not funny, you're not funny.

290
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,440
(SQUEALS)

291
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,200
There we go.

292
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,920
That's alright, see?

293
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,080
A little bit more fluid,
keep it steady on the throttle,

294
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,680
steady on the throttle.

295
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,640
I mean, I suppose we probably
weren't meant to hit the odd cone,

296
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,600
but you know,
I'm getting this in one ear

297
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,920
and that in another ear,
my palms are sweating.

298
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,800
Things are going to get clipped,
aren't they?

299
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,240
That's it. Go on, go on.
That's it, nice and smooth.

300
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:16,640
That's it.

301
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,000
I'm sticking my tongue out!

302
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,520
Did you not have your
tongue out then?

303
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,760
Full concentration, but that was
a bit more real world, wasn't it?

304
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,440
Yeah, it was definitely
more real world.

305
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,160
(LAUGHS)
Have you driven before?

306
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:29,800
Have you got a licence?

307
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,080
Aside from Jimmy's driving,

308
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,280
we all thought
the Kuga could manoeuvre,

309
00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:36,240
as you might expect with Ford,

310
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,040
but is it really a car
for all seasons?

311
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:41,480
And do we care
that it's not a plug in?

312
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,240
So yes, scores,
erm, Jimmy's driving, a one.

313
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,040
Er, but the car I'm going
to give it a great score

314
00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:52,680
because I think it's just
a mega bit of kit, it's a big nine.

315
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,400
It's a great family car,
and because of that,

316
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,160
I'm giving it a magnificent
seven out of ten.

317
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,360
My impression of the Kuga FHEV
was very good,

318
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,480
in fact, so good,
I'm going to give the car an eight.

319
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,760
A strong team test score
of 24 out of 30.

320
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:15,080
And it is a great recipe
for those EV nervous drivers.

321
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,120
What have we here?

322
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,880
A blizzard of new cars
with arrest and styling,

323
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,760
smart mechanics
and catchy tech you can afford.

324
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,240
These come from
the Korean car industry,

325
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,720
which seems to be taking
over the world.

326
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,760
And now the UK is being offered
yet another brand

327
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,720
that wants to take
over a bit more,

328
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,920
specifically the luxury sector,
traditionally owned by the Germans.

329
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,960
It's called Genesis.

330
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,320
Genesis is not new.

331
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,760
It's been selling cars
in other parts of the world

332
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,760
since 2015, but now
it has descended upon the UK

333
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,360
with not just one new model
but a whole fleet of them.

334
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,200
But can the new baby
of parent company Hyundai

335
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:00,250
00:24:08.840 -- 00:24:11.400
Welcome back to the second part
of our challenge,

336
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,600
genuinely worry Mercedes and BMW
or any other luxury badge?

337
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,680
It thinks so and is making
elevated customer services

338
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,440
where we're comparing
this large seven seat SUV,

339
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,320
part of the deal which applies
to servicing and test drives.

340
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,080
the Hyundai Santa Fe.

341
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,760
It feels good on the road.

342
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,040
And as part of
the "we come to you" mantra,

343
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,760
It's not a bad motor, I think.

344
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:24,200
To something a bit left field,
a VW Multivan.

345
00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:24,240
Genesis will even drop off
a car or three to your home

346
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,280
It looks like a traffic cone!

347
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:25,600
for a test drive.

348
00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:27,920
This isn't actually my house.

349
00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:30,280
The SUV has become the default
choice for most people

350
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,560
Ah, here they come.
Now that's what I call service.

351
00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:33,880
who want plenty of space
and an elevated driving position.

352
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,480
There are seven different
body shapes.

353
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:38,360
But VW thinks something van shaped
could be an even better proposition.

354
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,400
I've selected a small,
medium and large.

355
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,240
You comfy?
Yeah, surprisingly for a van.

356
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,640
The GV 60, the G70 Shooting Brake
and the G80.

357
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,840
In our first challenge, we found out
what the vehicles are like

358
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,040
Two are fully electric
and the estate is a petrol.

359
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,200
on the roads.

360
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:48,040
Smallest first.

361
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,200
You could take this
literally anywhere then.

362
00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:53,560
Prices for the GV 60
start at £47,000,

363
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,880
Well, it is 4-wheel drive, so yeah.
Yeah.

364
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,800
And even though both vehicles
drove well,

365
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,200
which puts it in competition
with premium SUVs

366
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,920
we decided the refined Santa Fe
was the daddy

367
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,240
like the Tesla Model Y,

368
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,360
the Audi Q4 E-TRON
and the Volvo XC40 Recharge.

369
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,160
when it came
to road manners and comfort.

370
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,760
So, the Hyundai is the car
in front for now.

371
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,360
However, this sports plus model

372
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,320
Right, so now we're going
to move on to a test

373
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,440
is a whopping £65,000,
serious wedge.

374
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,720
which has got multivan
written all over it.

375
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,440
Would you pay that for a Korean car?

376
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,200
Practicality.

377
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,800
I don't think we should bother
going through it to be honest

378
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:17,680
Well, I think it is lush and light
and lovely, and the best bit?

379
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,160
because I'm
going win this one.

380
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,600
But maybe the Hyundai will be a more
pleasant cabin for the family.

381
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,120
It's got a crystal ball.

382
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,000
So, let's try it.

383
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,040
But will all of them and all of that

384
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,680
It can't tell your future,
but it helps with mood lighting

385
00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:24,920
have any chance of fitting in?

386
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,480
while the car is off,

387
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,160
Plus me or Jason as a chauffeur.

388
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,960
and then flips over to reveal
a rotating dial selector.

389
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:28,920
Now, that is a test and a half.

390
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,680
The Hyundai is up first.

391
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,400
Now, Genesis said that this is
a safety feature.

392
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,560
This is going to be
no problem at all.

393
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,440
Nah, it's just a nice bit of bling.

394
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:33,920
I think it will be.

395
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,480
Right gang, load up the Hyundai.

396
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,800
Right, time to turn a wheel.

397
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,080
Let's go.

398
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,560
I'm going to get out the way.

399
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,000
With plenty of space
and an electric boot,

400
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:43,160
The GV 60 shares
the same EGMT platform

401
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,640
this should be easy.

402
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,360
as the Hyundai IONIQ 5
and the Kia EV6,

403
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,880
Look at all this boot space.

404
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,800
You'll soon fill that up.

405
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,120
both impressive cars.

406
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,280
That's it, chuck it in.

407
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,440
But back to Genesis
and this entry level premium model

408
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:51,480
Even without folding
all the seats down,

409
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,720
the Hyundai boot
has a massive 571 litres of space.

410
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,720
is rear wheel drive and has
a single motor with 229 horsepower.

411
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,280
Sport gives you dual motors
and 318 HP.

412
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,480
I love the way that kids pack boots.

413
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:03,520
And then you have got this,

414
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,200
Initially it all goes well

415
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,920
with the important cargo
disappearing happily.

416
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:08,520
the sport plus
which boosts power to 490.

417
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,440
We're in.

418
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,840
Is that everything?
Right everyone in.

419
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,960
That's BMW M3 munching power.

420
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,400
But I'm not sure that Grace
has seen the whole picture.

421
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,360
And if you want to sample it, switch
out of the default comfort mode

422
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,960
The Santa Fe, yes, works well,
but for a family of four.

423
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,360
and stick it in sport.

424
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,680
Right everyone's in.
Yeah.

425
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,280
We're good.

426
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,240
The gauges glow red,
the throttle response quickens

427
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,680
What?

428
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,440
and the seat tightens
its grip on me.

429
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,360
You've forgotten two kids.

430
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,600
But the Rushbees
are a family of six.

431
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,720
It's like the car is giving me a hug

432
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,240
But fear not,
there's two seats under there.

433
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,480
to say thank you
for unleashing all that power.

434
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,440
Guys, everyone out.
There's two more kids to go.

435
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,600
If that's still
not enough excitement,

436
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,160
all models come
with a drift mode.

437
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:36,640
I'll have to save that
for another day

438
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,560
Poor Grace. She's not very good
at spatial modelling.

439
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,600
when I'm on a track,
but it just goes to show

440
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,360
The two extra seats might need to be
unfolded in order to use them.

441
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:44,600
how much emphasis Genesis has put
on making this a driver's car.

442
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,280
Bring your stuff around the back,
we'll load you in the boot.

443
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,120
And being Korean,
it's packed with other tech,

444
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:48,080
And now she's got the kids
to do all the heavy lifting.

445
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,680
What a meanie.

446
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,280
such as a suspension,
which is electronically controlled.

447
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,440
OK, let's have a look
at the seats under here then.

448
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:53,960
It uses forward facing cameras
to detect lumps

449
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,160
Give it a pull.

450
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:59,560
and bumps in the road and then
it primes the dampers in readiness.

451
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,360
There you go, two extra seats.

452
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:03,880
So now we need to get all this
stuff in this space here, OK?

453
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,120
It's not Bentley quality,
but it's not bad.

454
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,440
Other useful stuff.
The range is 289 miles,

455
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,400
No chance.

456
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,600
Grace might be looking smug,
but she hasn't thought this through.

457
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,920
and if you can find
a 350-kilowatt charger,

458
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,120
There's only 50 litres of space
when the rear seats are being used.

459
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:16,600
you can top up the batteries
from 10 to 80% in just 18 minutes.

460
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,560
Load it on top.

461
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,320
Do you want me to just go
and get my van now,

462
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,040
because that's just not
going to work.

463
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,400
So, this isn't cheap,
but there's an awful lot to like.

464
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:18,400
No we've got this, we've got this.

465
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:25,280
Our next car is one that's designed
to bate German estates or tourers.

466
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,080
Right, you guys all get in the car

467
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,600
and I'll load up
the rest of the stuff.

468
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,160
Yeah.
Yeah?

469
00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:27,960
This is the G70 Shooting Brake.

470
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,440
Actually what she means is she is
going to throw the skateboards away.

471
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:29,400
OK, hands up.

472
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:29,960
Me first.

473
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,520
This is a petrol-powered car,

474
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,600
I don't want to admit defeat,
but if I'm honest,

475
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,800
but we wanted to include it
to illustrate that Genesis

476
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,400
things aren't
looking great.

477
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,840
Right, erm...

478
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,200
isn't all about electric cars,
though I am sure at some point

479
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,720
You just keep an eye
on them to make sure

480
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,880
she doesn't leave
anything out, mind.

481
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,040
in the future there will probably be
an electric version of this.

482
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,240
So the Rushbee family
are all comfortably seated,

483
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,000
but I can't say the same
for all this stuff.

484
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,240
The entry level G70 Shooting Brake
is 35 grand

485
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,560
They've got four scooters.

486
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,080
and the luxury line like this
will set you back 40.

487
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,040
I'll get the van.

488
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,000
It's almost like a wise man
once said,

489
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:55,440
Power is a two litre turbo petrol
with 245 HP

490
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,400
"The van will walk this."

491
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,840
and there's a diesel
which puts out 200.

492
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,840
It's what it was designed for.
Let's go to work.

493
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,680
0-62 happens
in a competitive 6.9 seconds.

494
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,440
(LAUGHS)

495
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,840
This is what you want.
Right, get packing.

496
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:06,320
I think it is incredibly pretty
and the front end is dominated

497
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,080
Even with all seven seats in place.

498
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,960
We'll get everything in this.

499
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,680
by this diamond shaped grille

500
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:09,600
You'll get everything in there.

501
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,600
with the slimline lights
on either side.

502
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,720
The VW still has 469 litres
of luggage capacity.

503
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,680
And Genesis says that this design

504
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,320
gives the car
a sprinter's pre-race posture.

505
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,280
Plus, there's more storage
under the seats.

506
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,240
But this is Fifth Gear Recharged
so on with more electric.

507
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,320
We'll get that in, won't we, eh?

508
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:21,720
This is brilliant.

509
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,280
There are advantages
to driving around in a van.

510
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,160
The £65,000 G80.

511
00:28:24,360 --> 00:28:26,160
It's higher and it's squarer.

512
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,600
This is a deceptively large car.

513
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:27,280
Come on.

514
00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:29,360
And although it might not
look like it,

515
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,640
It's almost five metres long
and just shy of two metres wide,

516
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,760
twice the amount of clobber fits in

517
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,160
which is similar to a Range Rover,

518
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,280
when all the seats are in play
compared to the Santa Fe.

519
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,480
but obviously
this isn't quite as tall.

520
00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:37,840
We need a car like this.

521
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,840
The paint is worth a mention,
called Matera Blue.

522
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,280
And this time,
all of the family stuff

523
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,040
seems to be going in easily.

524
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,240
It's supposed to change colour
depending on the angle

525
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,440
Right down to every last helmet
and rucksack.

526
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,000
you view it from,
going from cobalt blue to emerald,

527
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,480
Perfect.

528
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,200
turquoise.

529
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,160
It's a 1300 pound extra.

530
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,280
This is where I put the window out
with a skateboard.

531
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,040
Prices for this car start
at around £66,000

532
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:59,120
and main competition will come
from Mercedes-Benz and its EQE.

533
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,640
Not only that,
but the van's quirky features

534
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,840
are delighting
my passengers.

535
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,600
There are a couple of really nice
design features here,

536
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,400
Press that button there.

537
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:06,200
the first of which is this flap
hidden in the grille

538
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:03,480
Press it hard.

539
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:08,960
That's it, look at this.
Put your sandwiches on there.

540
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:11,760
and then up on the roof,
you have got solar panels.

541
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,360
You can do jigsaw puzzles on there
and everything.

542
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:13,480
It's quite good, that, isn't it?

543
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,920
And also, this thing you can move
this around, backwards, forwards.

544
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,960
Right, come on,
we're late for the pub.

545
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,400
Genesis estimates you can
only self-generate enough juice

546
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,040
Did he say pub?

547
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,520
for a thousand miles a year
from the solar panels.

548
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,040
I think you might find
that's a slam dunk to me.

549
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:29,480
So in the grey UK, the 1300 pound
option will hardly be worth it.

550
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:26,680
Yeah.

551
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,040
Right, come on.

552
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,600
I'm not going to rub it in
because the van's walked it

553
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,040
as it was always going to.

554
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,480
It's SUV one and van one.

555
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,920
Join us later
for the decider

556
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,760
The dash may seem a bit old school

557
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,600
when a slalom performance test

558
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,000
compared to everything else
these days,

559
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,560
truly tells us
whether big is really better.

560
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,280
which is very screen heavy,
but it's nice to have a couple

561
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:44,760
Oh, you fighter.

562
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,520
of real buttons to press.

563
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,640
She's a bit under-steery there.

564
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,000
When it comes
to the all-important range,

565
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,760
there is a potential
of 323 miles.

566
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,320
But if you prefer performance
then 0-62

567
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,600
EVs, like all vehicles
have their pros and cons,

568
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,560
will happen in five seconds.

569
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,800
like being emission free
and rapid in a straight line,

570
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,640
but the heavy batteries
can make chassis feel a bit stodgy,

571
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,880
Keeping up with rivals
in terms of tech,

572
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,960
and keen drivers
can find themselves disappointed.

573
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:10,000
Even the good ones, and actually,
this Polestar two is a good one.

574
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,920
where you can write a destination
with your finger.

575
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,200
Of course, the handwriting
has to be legible.

576
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,920
Well, they can lack that last bit
of driver engagement.

577
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,000
So there we go.

578
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,400
That's concerning news
for any EV driver.

579
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,640
Now you have to be a bit careful
with your writing.

580
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,280
I'm going to try to write London.

581
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,120
And maybe because the cars
are so full of black boxes

582
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,600
and weigh so much,
you'd be forgiven for thinking,

583
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,800
(LAUGHS)

584
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,400
well, there isn't much
you can do about it.

585
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,280
Oh, I am right handed
so I should actually...

586
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,120
Right, I've tried London
and it's come up as....

587
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,280
But Polestar themselves
have been scratching their heads

588
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,960
I'm probably going
to end up somewhere

589
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,160
that I really don't want to be,
but I just wanted to show you

590
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,960
about the issue,
and are now ready to prove

591
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,040
because other premium cars, BMW,
Mercedes, they have this feature.

592
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,480
that the EV driving experience
can be massively improved.

593
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,960
And they've come up with this.
The Polestar BST 270.

594
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,600
Once you've put in
the correct place to go,

595
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,040
the G8's display gets busy.

596
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,320
But what is it
beyond a lot of letters?

597
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,640
Every time I come up to a junction,

598
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,560
The Standard Polestar 2
comes in two flavours,

599
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,200
the augmented reality satnav
kicks in

600
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,000
a single motor
and a dual motor.

601
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,800
and shows me exactly
what's going on outside the car.

602
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,560
£42,000 will buy you
a single motor with 231 horsepower,

603
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,080
But the thing is, like a rabbit
stuck in the headlights

604
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,840
but for an extra six grand
you can get this,

605
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,680
the dual motor version.

606
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,480
of an oncoming car,
my eyes are drawn

607
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,280
And in my opinion,
that's money very well spent

608
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,080
to that screen
instead of being focused outside

609
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,040
because the power goes up
to 408 horsepower,

610
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,800
through my front screen
in the real world.

611
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,680
Hmm, I'm not sure if that's such
a good bit of tech.

612
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,160
while the entry level car
takes 7.4 seconds to get to 62.

613
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:17,000
The dual motor does it
in 4.7 seconds. Wow!

614
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,840
It is a decent package,
not a mould breaking one,

615
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,640
but it has a composed way
of going about its business

616
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,960
Now, let's be perfectly clear.

617
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:24,280
This is a quick car,
but this is even quicker.

618
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,000
and is a credible alternative
to the usual suspects.

619
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:28,080
Only time will tell if the public
will accept this badge

620
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,400
So what have Polestar done
apart from adding a stripe?

621
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:29,920
alongside the
establishment.

622
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,560
Well, for starters,

623
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,680
they've squeezed
another 68 horsepower out of it.

624
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,800
Well, Tesla did it.

625
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,440
And if you are an early
Genesis adopter,

626
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,960
The motors and the batteries
are the same,

627
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,600
then be prepared for a lot of this.

628
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,640
polestar have simply
tweaked the software

629
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,200
"Nice car, what is it?"

630
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,560
to get more out the system.

631
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,360
Now I say simply tweaked.

632
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:45,520
They've obviously got a team
of scientists with huge foreheads.

633
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,920
Coming up,
we've got more van versus SUV.

634
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,640
We need a car like this.

635
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:50,320
The result is a 0 to 62 time
of 4.2 seconds.

636
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,080
Yes.

637
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,840
We track test
a limited-edition Polestar

638
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:57,240
This is half a second quicker
than that, which is significant.

639
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,440
that takes a standard heavy EV

640
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,040
and dials in extra performance,
handling and driving pleasure.

641
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:01,680
Definitely much more aggressive
over kerbs.

642
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,960
But is this 12% increase
in acceleration worth 21 grand?

643
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,880
Because that's exactly
how much extra this car is.

644
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:10,440
It cost £69,000,
which is quite a lot of money

645
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,880
for an extra 70 horsepower.

646
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,560
But that's not the full story,

647
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,280
because as a racing driver,
I know better than most.

648
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:21,040
That extra power is worth nothing
without control.

649
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,800
And that's where Polestar's
engineering team

650
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,280
have really gone to town.

651
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:31,560
The car sits 25 millimetres
lower than standard,

652
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,440
on springs which are 20% stiffer,

653
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,640
and if you lift up the bonnet,
you'll find some

654
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,520
auxiliary adjustment cannisters

655
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,400
for the trick Ohlins
two way adjustable dampers.

656
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,440
That's a bit racy.

657
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,440
There's also a new aluminium
strut bar

658
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,160
connecting the front
suspension mounts,

659
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:48,760
increasing rigidity.

660
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,760
And connecting everything
to the road

661
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,640
are special 21 inch wheels

662
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,760
and a set of Pirelli P zero tyres

663
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,640
that have been specially
developed just for this car.

664
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:03,800
So, the question is how much faster
does all that make this

665
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,400
compared to that
getting around the track?

666
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,760
Well, there's only one way
to find out.

667
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:14,200
And so first, I wanted a lap time
in a standard dual motor Polestar 2.

668
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,520
Tell you what,
first impressions.

669
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,240
It's quite quick actually,
but I must admit,

670
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,280
in the corners and on the brakes,

671
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:25,960
you could feel
the weight of the car.

672
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,680
On power on,
quite a lot of understeer.

673
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,560
Well, let's go for a lap time.
See what he does.

674
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,400
(LAUGHS)

675
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,120
We had the ABS
and all sorts kicking on then.

676
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:51,040
Come on, in you go, in you go.
Power out, understeer here.

677
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,440
Now I need good drive
out this corner.

678
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,360
Here we go, on the throttle.

679
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:00,960
Right, we are coming up the line.

680
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,120
Let's see what the lap time is.

681
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,960
So, 49.1 seconds.

682
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,320
Right, let's see
how fast this one is.

683
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,600
Well, I tell you what,
the first thing that strikes you

684
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,800
is not the extra power actually,
it's the suspension.

685
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:35,000
It's quite a bit stiffer,
the car doesn't feel

686
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,600
quite as heavy as the other one,
even though it is.

687
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,000
It's just a bit more reactive
in your hands.

688
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,040
And there's more grip for sure.

689
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,880
Steering is more precise,
it's a bit sharper on turning.

690
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,360
So, the big question,
is it more engaging to drive?

691
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,200
Now I think the answer to that
question is certainly yes.

692
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,360
So what do I think
the BST 270 will do?

693
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,960
I'm going to predict it for...
47 dead.

694
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,600
Which is a lap time
that's two seconds faster.

695
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,600
That's much quicker
around a short circuit.

696
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,800
Can the BST tweaks deliver?

697
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,160
Let's see what it does
for a lap time, start the watch.

698
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:28,000
You know what, it's most certainly
much more lively. Come on.

699
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,080
The 270 sits differently.

700
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,240
It's more responsive
to driver inputs,

701
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,720
whatever they've done,
the recipe works.

702
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:40,040
Definitely much more
aggressive over curbs.

703
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,760
Unfortunately,
because I was driving so hard,

704
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,680
the safety systems thought
I was about to have a shunt

705
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,000
and tighten my belts.

706
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:54,520
The seatbelts
are trying to kill me! Jesus.

707
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,600
A timely reminder that Polestar
is part of Volvo,

708
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,680
where safety is a big part
of everything they do.

709
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,240
(LAUGHS, SHRIEKS)

710
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,800
It's done it again! Man,
it thinks I'm having an accident.

711
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:12,120
The seatbelt just keeps getting
tighter and tighter and tighter.

712
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,800
It's done it again!
Look at the state of this.

713
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,200
Anyway, stop the watch.

714
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:25,080
So, 47.56 despite being strangled
by the seat belt.

715
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,160
So, I shaved 1.5 seconds
off the lap time.

716
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:32,400
That's really something
with an already fast car

717
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:33,720
setting a benchmark.

718
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,720
Lewis Hamilton
would be over the moon

719
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,440
with that kind of time saving.

720
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,920
So the car is faster.
But is it better?

721
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,400
It's definitely
a more engaging drive.

722
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,720
21 grand extra? Yes.

723
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:52,520
I quite like it.

724
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,600
A lot of manufacturers
will be looking at their EVs

725
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,320
and coming
to the same conclusion,

726
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,600
that more driving engagement
can actually be delivered

727
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,720
and should be as standard.

728
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,640
Great news for us keen drivers.

729
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:11,720
Join us after the break...

730
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,480
And we are in sport mode.

731
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,320
Yes, we are, yes.

732
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:16,760
..for more SUV...

733
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,360
A little bit of wheel spin.

734
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,200
..verses van super test.

735
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:21,640
A bit understeery there.

736
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:23,200
Oh, you fighter.

737
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:28,250
00:37:36.120 -- 00:37:39.960
Big SUV, such as the seven seat
Hyundai Santa Fe,

738
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:41,720
sell in bucketloads.

739
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,560
But VW think their new
Multivan or Life van

740
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,160
or whatever it is,

741
00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:49,000
is a smarter all round bet
for a big family.

742
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,360
Are we looking
at the next big motoring trend?

743
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,920
These multi seater hybrids
are both around 50 grand,

744
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,800
have plug in
electric motors

745
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,760
and are neck and neck,
with one being more refined

746
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:01,720
and one being bigger.

747
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,200
Now how do we separate them?

748
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,280
So Grace, I weigh 2.2. tonnes.
How about you?

749
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,560
Only two tonnes, so 200kg less.

750
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,040
OK, what about length?

751
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,800
I'm under 4.8 metres. You?

752
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,120
Five, so what 20cm longer.

753
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,920
Well, neither is sold
as a driver's car,

754
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,560
but the way they handle
under stress

755
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,640
tells you how they'll feel
on a long journey

756
00:38:26,720 --> 00:38:28,640
coming out of a roundabout.

757
00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:31,120
And trust us,
if the chassis is baggy,

758
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,320
you'll quickly fall out
of love with it.

759
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,840
And so, a slalom test it is.

760
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,920
Right then, come on. You can drive.

761
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,840
Oh.

762
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,120
See I quite like that.

763
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:50,760
Just a touch of a button.

764
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,160
Yeah, I like that.

765
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:56,480
The Santa Fe can do 0-62
in 8.8 seconds.

766
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,920
Has a top speed
of 116 miles per hour.

767
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,720
And I've got four-wheel drive
for added traction.

768
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,680
This isn't that scientific,

769
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,800
but it's a slalom,
we'll get a feel for...

770
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,880
Vecause I think this is going
to feel quite soft and wallowy.

771
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:12,920
Yeah, but let's give it a go.
Excellent.

772
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,800
You holding on?
I'm excited.

773
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:17,760
Go.

774
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,600
Oh, the length of it!
It's like get it all round.

775
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,680
(LAUGHS)
Do you know what?

776
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:32,000
It doesn't feel
as soft and wallowy as I thought.

777
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:33,560
Do you know what I mean?

778
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,480
So is this,
this is four wheel drive, isn't it?

779
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,920
It is, yes,
and we are in sport mode.

780
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,880
Yes, we are, yes.

781
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,240
It's...
(LAUGHS)

782
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:53,000
A little bit of wheelspin.

783
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:57,480
36 seconds with one cone down.
Actually, that's not bad.

784
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,000
Quite fabulous.
Well.

785
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:03,040
I mean, that's standard supermarket
car park driving, that,

786
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:04,680
and I thought it did alright.

787
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:07,920
Over to the Multivan.

788
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:18,160
(LAUGHS)

789
00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:19,840
All the things.

790
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,200
We've got everything going,
haven't we?

791
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,520
Now some stats for you.

792
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:24,800
Mm-hmm.

793
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,360
Erm, obviously this is
a bit heavier...

794
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:28,680
Yep.

795
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,640
But it's only fractionally slower
to 62.9 seconds, that's alright.

796
00:40:31,720 --> 00:40:34,320
OK, yeah, a little bit slower.
Front wheel drive only,

797
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,160
but it won't make
a difference through here.

798
00:40:37,240 --> 00:40:40,560
And it actually has
a slightly higher top speed

799
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,960
of 119 miles per hour.

800
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,040
Now, that's not gonna matter here,
but could I thread

801
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:50,680
the Multivan's longer, wider shape
through the cones and shame Grace?

802
00:40:51,720 --> 00:40:54,600
I think, I think and I think
it's going to be fine actually.

803
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,480
It's going to be interesting.
OK, I'm holding on.

804
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,920
Well, we're not racing obviously,

805
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,640
we're just going to see
what it feels like.

806
00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:05,480
But still, it'd be kind of fun
to make Grace ill.

807
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,440
Oh you fighter,
she's a bit understeery there.

808
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:12,200
It feels alright though,
don't you think?

809
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:13,520
Yeah, yeah.

810
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:18,680
Yeah. It does feel
a bit vanny though.

811
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:23,760
I found the length of the Santa Fe
going through the cones

812
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,200
was you felt
the tightness of it.

813
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,600
What does this feel like?
It feels great.

814
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,640
That's one second slower
than the Hyundai.

815
00:41:38,720 --> 00:41:41,600
So surely that should be
a victory for the SUV?

816
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,480
Well, no, Jason won't accept defeat.

817
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,320
It did feel a bit slower
than the Santa Fe.

818
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,520
Well, obviously,
that's because you, you lunatic,

819
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,840
were going at it
like a fruitcake.

820
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,520
(LAUGHS)

821
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,080
I think that's perfectly acceptable.
Yeah.

822
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:56,480
I think it's great.
Yeah.

823
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:57,680
I like it.

824
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,600
The only bad thing with these
is you've got kids

825
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:00,840
in the back, haven't you?

826
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:02,920
Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
Are we there, Dad?

827
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,640
(LAUGHS)
Can we stop?

828
00:42:04,720 --> 00:42:06,120
Yeah.
Can we get some crisps?

829
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,480
Keep poking you on your shoulder.

830
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,440
Well, someone's
got to keep you on your toes.

831
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:17,360
Right, I feel a, erm...
I think we should have a brew.

832
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,600
We started off by asking
whether an SUV really is the answer

833
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,880
to a big family
with about 19 scooters,

834
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:27,960
and whether it's time for them
to reassess

835
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,920
and consider a van instead.

836
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:35,080
Which do you think we should say is
the winner, the SUV or the Multivan?

837
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,280
I like this one. I like the van.

838
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,560
It's massive,
so it's then practical.

839
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,120
It drives really well on the road,
it was alright in the slalom.

840
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,120
What's not to like?

841
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:52,480
I'm lusting after one of those,
in fact, I think I want one at home.

842
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:53,920
Yeah, yeah.

843
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,320
As the family wagon. You?

844
00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:00,120
For me, the practicality
tops it as well.

845
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,400
There's just so much space in that
and it feels spacious.

846
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:04,880
The light, interior,

847
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:06,960
all the space you get up front
and in the back.

848
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,640
Check you out, you're not even 29
and you are going for a van.

849
00:43:09,720 --> 00:43:12,000
And what does that say?

850
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:13,440
I can fit my bikes in the back,

851
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:17,160
all the shopping,
a load of mates, kids.

852
00:43:17,240 --> 00:43:19,400
And you can't do this.

853
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,520
This is a good setup. Go on then.

854
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,800
So, the VW takes the biscuit.

855
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,560
Maybe SUV makers
really should start worrying.

856
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,200
Could this be a thing?

857
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,480
Do you really need an SUV?
Maybe you don't.

858
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,000
