Audi Q7, Land Rover Discovery and Volvo XC90 tested with bales of hay

The purpose of this comparison review is to know which is the best SUV of luxury to 7 places on sale in Great Britain. Two of the three models have been part of the fleet of Auto Trader tests for about half a year, so we are confident about the result, even if the XC90 would not be our peak.

But again, no one around our desk "

The Audi Q7 is perhaps the most ambitious car here, and it has the best engine, a 272 horsepower V6 that, oddly , is also the most economical. However, the German interior will not please people who want to unclutter their lives, while the two most rear seats are far from ideal.

Meanwhile, the Land Rover Discovery is proving to be one of the leading contenders for luxury. The 7-seater SUV market. Yes, it's heavy and not so fast, but it scores brown dots in the practical department. In addition to this 240 HP 2-liter diesel, you can get it with a V6 … and you should probably. The seats in the last row are as big as all the others and you even have a sunroof. Kids love it!

The Volvo XC90 looks sportier than it should be in this R-Design version. There is ample space and a tablet type infotainment system. But we think the Land Rover nearly won the exam. If only JLR was doing better infotainment systems!

Be that as it may, the highlight of this review is a special test on hay bales where the trio of women tries to find out which car has the biggest trunk. Have you ever seen anything so messy and fun in the back of an expensive SUV?
