Four of the hottest crossover SUVs you can buy are about to go head-to-head over the quarter-mile!

We’ve got Mat in the new MINI Countryman JCW, and he’s lining up against a BMW iX2, a VW T-Roc R, and an Audi SQ2!

So let’s see how these pocket rockets compare. Starting with the MINI, it’s powered by a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine that can put down 300hp and 400Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at 1,735kg. If you’re looking to pick one up it’ll set you back just under £40,000.

Alongside it we have the all-electric iX2. It comes with dual motors that combine to produce 313hp and 494Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels, and it tips the scales at 2,020kg. Not only is it the heaviest car here, it’s also the most expensive, costing around £51,600.

The T-Roc R & SQ2 are built on the same platform, so as a result, their performance stats are pretty much identical. Both are powered by a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo, and both produce 300hp and 400Nm. Both are equipped with a 7-speed gearbox and four-wheel drive, although while the T-Roc weighs 1,575kg, the Audi is slightly lighter at 1,535kg. The Audi is also just over £1,000 cheaper than the VW, costing around £44,100.

So will it be an easy win for the all-electric BMW? Or will another car snatch it? There’s only one way to find out... LET’S RACE!

    I truly enjoyed how unbelievably messy this video was. I have never laughed so hard watching a carwow video.
  • @ottomakinen13
    I love how almost half of the video was just the stats, the soundcheck and figuring out how to get the Mini's launch control to work!😂💀

    Matt: “You like that?”
    Yammie: “No, it’s rubbish!” 😂😂
  • @Darkie015
    You can see Yanni screaming in the screen shot when he came last in the BMW😂. This is by far my most favourite race on the channel ever😄.
  • @shanesingh4293
    I will be totally honest, carwow races are usually nice but the presence of yianni adds alot more humor and flavor
  • @R6Dave11
    We live in a time where 300HP vehicles seem slow.
  • @pilcrow1546
    Conclusion: don't buy a ""Sporty"" SUV and just buy a hot hatch.
  • @MarSaso
    They should troll Yianni and do some BMW commands trough walkie-talkie next time while racing 😅 hey BMW set temperature to hot or change driving mode to eco 😅
  • @zhangyu96
    It’s just so good to see Yianni back!
  • @Churchychurch
    You literally can’t watch this episode in a library or a flight. I’m laughing to tears 😂😂😂😂😂
  • @natidaschoolboy
    The interior of that mini is so funny bruh, I can't😂😂😂😂
  • The disappointment face on Yianny makes my day😂😂😂😂😂
  • @raldhino
    This has to be the most hilarious video on this channel due to the fact that mat was winding up yianni so much and making him get out of the car and making him run I jus laughed all the way through I love this kind of content MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS PLESASE 😂😂😂😂
  • Whatever you do as the carwow team, please don't ever sell your souls to the manufacturers of these cars, we like the honesty of your reviews because you review cars the same way our friends and family members will review cars, the jury is still out on that Mini round clock 😂😂😂
