Who buys a family car for nearly 50k!? Did the average household find lavish riches somewhere?

no one’s shelling out 50k, financing is the way most people go now

I bought my 2004 Saab 9-5 turbo wagon/estate in 2008. Its attractive to this day, comfortable, handles well, plenty of pep and extremely practical. WHY DID THE INDUSTRY EVER STOP MAKING WAGONS. I also owned a Mercury Villager and a Ford Aerostar. both of which were quite practical, but lacked the peppiness and handling of my beloved Saab

No. In my experience, no one does. Most manufacturers build a more suitable alternative with bigger load space, greater economy, or better handling! 🤣 But you can only buy what they make, and most make SUVs so that's what you have to buy. ...and absolutely nothing to do with SUVs being the most advertised (by cost) type of vehicle in the history of motoring advertising. 😅

If you can't afford these monsters then what about the Dacia Jogger 🙂

There is nothing sporty about SUV'S.

Do you need an SUV? No. What you need is an MPV or if you really need the space a van

"The Santa Fake....", she says 🤣 13:15

Should have compared the VW with the Hyun Staria. Was pleasant surprised how well they drive when I hired one recently. Perfect fit for a family like this

I hope to never see these on the road, it's already bad enough with huge SUV's taking up all the space.

The boot should always, easily be big enough on a SUV. It should be the first thing they tick when designing these efforts.

50000 pounds is almost what my house cost me in Canada while my supercharged 1996 Toyota Previa will drive me 3 times the distance a junky Volkswagen VR6 Eurovan from 2000 would ever reach and it costs less!

I'll keep my top spec Seat Alhambra, 8 years old. Cost 28 grand. Nothing compares.

The VW is based on a car chassis, not a van, and so handles well. It is far more practical for large families and for those who lug large items around like bikes. This petrol hybrid version will retain its value very well, unlike the high depreciating Hyundai and all equivalent EVs.

Its not really the question is it? Should be do you want an SUV or not ? Do i need an RS6 no but do i want one on yes

What a shame the grand daddy of them all the Renault Espace doesn’t seem to be available in the UK or is it? But it does appear to be have lost its originality so perhaps you’re better off without it.

If I were to own an SUV, I would only get it with all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, whether I need it or not.

VW van. What they've done is invent something that existed in the 90's and early 00's from Japan and also France.

Sad that they run 2… almost 3 years old episodes,…

Great we go from massive cars to humongous 🙄

£53,000 is already enough but the iD Buzz version is a fortune

SUV are designed to do all fine, but at the end, they don't do something really fine, except generate great incomings to the brands.

The prices are insane !

Do you really need an SUV? Unless you're a farmer or a forestry worker, the answer is obviously NO. An estate car is more than adequate. The question is really "Do you really WANT an SUV?".

Not for me. I prefer cars. I'll have a convertible which gets parked every winter and a sports car for year round. Therefore I have an M2 and a 718 Spyder.

I wish the U.S. got that VW van. We only get the EV van that looks like a toddlers tennis shoe… 😒

For a panel van lol😮

Reinvented espace. Could import a estima or elgrand for way less money

Japanese Kei Cars in Europe will be nice !

Where is Vicki?

That's already the old Santa Fe

50,000 what, Rand?

Toyota estima hybrid efour 4WD 7/8 seater hybrid!

Buy a van give up on enjoyment, great advice 😅

More enjoyable to drive than a bloody suv… those stupid things suck to drive!

Good lord these are expensive.

I want something better looking and handling than these vehicles. Oh yeah, an elegant estate car.

Estates are the ugliest imbalanced shape. That is why the SUV was born. There's no getting away from it

A Hyundai for £49k, the world has gone made.

Fifth gear sponsored by ev companies , they’ll tell you the truth 😂

Fifth Gear, why all your uploads ore of such low quality. Even at 1080, picture quality sucks

'the van is surprisingly comfortable', she says several times. I guess its her first time in a van, they've been comfortable since atleast the early 2000's.

@@LafemmebearMusic what kind of vans did you drive? There is a massive difference between some Vauxhall/Opel garbage and a Mercedes Sprinter 3.2 liter biturbo 7speed automatic with 4 wheel drive. (Just to give an example lol)

50 grand for a van fml lol

You guys seem to be waaay behind the curve if your pretending to be "Recharged". Lots of Hybrids on your latest relaunch. Ok 3-5 years ago, but look at Europe, EV's are the go, Hybrids are so 2010's.

I mean an SUV or a Van? Whats the point of this video? And 50K, Well that's probably 90% of purchasers out of the equation. This is the most ridiculous we have two wildly different vehicles this week, how can we squeeze a click bait title and a pointless comparison out of it, videos ever.

Fold the scooters down back the blue bags vertically if you learn to pack it would easily fit in the Hyundai. "real world test" 😅😅my arse. 30 miles EV RANGE is useless

It's 2024. and the planet is burning. Debating if an SUV is great for your big family is infuriating. Where is the discussion about the danger to the Rushby's 4 children of bing killed on their scooters in a front-over from an SUV with bad sightlines and dangerous pedestrian crash outcomes. Where's the explanation that gas cars are having to be legislated out of existence because fuel economy standards aren't coming close to meeting the Climate Action we need. Of course the EV was better, but in trying to prove that an oversized family with 4 kids needs these big beasts, you've normalized SUVs and one of the least efficient and least us sustainable EVs sold in the UK, the Buzz. Maybe Fifth gear needs a contributor with an eye to the future. SUVs were just penalized yesterday in vote in Paris because they're more dangerous to people. SUVs are awful. Please don't consider them normal. Big heavy vans aren't much better. Most families have fit it normal cars for decades before the minivan and SUV were created. We can't afford these massive vehicles in our Climate Crisis.

second

Just how many 7 people families are there buying these ugly polluting things?
