​Compact SUV winner 2018-2019?
Article by EuromanDriver.com Editors:

Best compact SUV and best luxury compact SUVs 2018: Volvo XC40, Audi Q5, (new Audi Q3) Mazda CX-5, Volkswagen Tiguan, Seat Ateca FR, BMW X3, Porsche Macan, Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, Toyota Rav 4, Lexus NX, Ford Escape, etc. All with petrol and hybrid engines. We have excluded the cars with Diesel engines...

Choosing the best compact SUV and premium luxury SUV is not easy. There are many really good driving compacts SUVs and crossovers in 2018 and 2019. But I will try and make a shortlist of the ones that have impressed me the most. I will mix both compact SUVs and midsize SUVs and premium SUVs in this review. 

I have test driven hundreds of SUV'S and some really stand out as great value for the money and some of the luxury SUVs stand out because of the incredible way they drive and handling and overall superior built quality.

Let's begin with the affordable best and most popular compact SUVs that most people can afford to pay. I will just mention the top SUVs here and there is no ranking. My favorite compact SUVs are: 

The new Audi Q3, Audi Q5, the new BMW X3, Volvo XC40, the new Volkswagen Tiguan, Seat Ateca, Skoda Karoq, Mazda CX-5, Jaguar E-space and Porsche Macan 2019 model. 

The Volvo XC40 drives great and feels like a real luxury car with very high built quality. The Volvo XC40 Inscription with T5 engine is the best! The same to say about Volkswagen Tiguan. It feels very solid build and offers great road presence and luxurious interior. The new Mazda CX-5 has really improved especially the interior seems to be off high quality. Time will show of it is lasting quality and it drives great as well. The problem with the Mazda is that there is no vitural cockpit and no connectivity to Android or Apple phones! These compact suvs feel solid build and good to drive. Best value for the money might be the Volkswagen Tiguan. It sits below the VW luxury SUV the new 2018 Volkswagen Touareg and even looks like it, just smaller; It offers very high comfort, security and good engines and then it is cheaper to buy than the Volvo! Volvo is a bit overpriced in my opinion. The Mazda CX-5 is good value for the money as well, but overall the Tiguan is better. I will also add Seat Ateca FR to this list as it is a great solid compact SUV that has a very sporty attitude with some great petrol engines. The interior layout is simple but nice and easy to use. You can get it with a virtual cockpit which raises the overall fell of this SUV. Personally I like the design of the seat Ateca. And I Will also mention the new Mitsubishi eclipse cross that is also good value for the money. The 1.6 petrol engine with CVT eight speed transmission is very smooth.  It drives good and feel big inside and out. It is very practical for a family. My overall favorit is the VW Tiguan GT line AWD 2.0 TSI Dsg 7. It's like an affordable BMW X3! And right next to it the new Volvo XC40 with T5 petrol. Automatic transmission and awd. Superb SUV that unfortunately is more expensive than the Tiguan and same price range as a BMW X3.... If you can find a BMW X3 with petrol max one year and same price as the Tiguan, I would recommend that. 

My favorite compact luxury SUVs are the BMW X3, Audi Q5, Mercedes GLC.

In a way these three luxury compact suvs are equally good but still different in their ways of showing off their premium quality. These susv are expensive but if you wait you can get them much cheaper after one or two years as previous lease cars. The new BMW X3 is an very good sport utility vehicle. It has maybe the infortainment system and a new full vitural cockpit. And it drive like a sport car on huge wheels and then it is very practical and has superior built quality. This is one of my favorite SUVs. Then we have the new Audi Q5 that is very classical and pure in it's expression. Super high-tech with the best safety technology you can find in a car. The cabin is pure simple luxury and the drive is of the best in class. This one is also very practical. It has offcourse vitural cockpit as well and awesome infortainment system as well. The Mercedes Benz GLC is the only "new" model. While the two others are redesign the GLC is brand new production from early 2017. The interior design of this one is very impressive. A true Mercedes Benz. No cheap plastic or cheap solutions. Everything is very premium. The vitural cockpit and infortainment system is also top of the class. Driving this SUV is like sitting in first class. Very luxurious and comfortable. The engines are good and feels like the X3 while driving...smooth acceleration and smooth automatic transmission. These three cars will make you feel happy and comfy. The new Audi Q3 is coming later this year and ready for 2019. This is a all new design from Audi. The new Q3 looks very good and sharp. And it might be the best compact SUV when it arrives later this year. We will review it!  

There are many more very good SUVs in this segment, both premium and non-premium. The new Honda CR-V is also a great compact family suv. KIA Sportage, Mitsubishi outlander, Nissan Rogue and Nissan Qashqai, Jeep compass, Jeep Cherokee, Range Rover Evouqe, Volvo XC60, SEAT Ateca, Skoda Karoq, Peugeot 3008, Ford Kuga and the new large SUV the Volkswagen Tourag has just arrived and is very promising. The Tourag will be one of the best premium SUVs. The new Mercedes GLE 2019 is also coming soon and we will test drive and review it ASAP. Wwe will also post the latest pictures and information about these new SUVs. Please bookmark this website and please visit my youtube channel and subscribe: EuromanDriver

Electric car future is here or is it?  The Future of Electric Cars...

Article By EuromanDriver.com
In the past three - five years the vision of fully electric cars, SUVs and trucks has really moved ahead with fast speed. And especially in the past year several big car manufacturers has decided to go "all in" and invest billions of euros, pounds, dollars, Yen's in developing the best car batteries possible.  But is it really  good for the environment? German car brand Mercedes-Benz is going to invest billions of euros in new factories developing batteries in Germany. And Mercedes-Benz is not the only one jumping on the electric "hybrid train", also Volkswagen Group with Audi, Seat, Skoda, Porsche, Bentley is investing heavily in new electronic car batteries and ways of charging batteries fast. That is an area where electric car has to improve to become really mainstream. And the big problem in todays fully electric cars is the battery! The time it takes to charge an electric car battery takes way too long time and you can only drive limited miles/km. Usually today it takes 45 minutes to fully charge a battery, and that is simply too long time. And the cost of charging is the same as using a petrol engine car! So there is room for improvements. Tesla is doing pretty well with their cars and I love the way Tesla model S is driving. I have tried the new 2018 model p100 and it was very good. But Tesla is too expensive for most people. They made the model 3 though but the waiting time is ridiculously long. So whoever comes up with a fast charging technology and stronger lighter batteries are in a good spot for leading the electric car race of the future.

The green energy advocates have been very vocal in Europe and their “diesel ban” and “electric car” lobby work has affected many European Union politician's. And the diesel emission scandal that involved a lot of big car manufacturers has helped these electric car spokes people in their agenda of removing diesel  and petrol cars altogether from EU and UK roads. But the thing is, the new diesel engines (euro 6) lead out very little CO2 (Carbon dioxide) and the same levels as of new “green” petrol engine cars. But when you read the news you only hear that diesel cars in general should be banned, but there is almost no explanation that the ban is only for older diesel cars from before 2014. But that is also a big part of the game play from the green energy lobbyist. They just want to shame all fuel based cars. But what is the proof that car batteries and their chargers are leading out less pollution than petrol cars or even Euro6 diesel vehicles What effects on the climate will it have when the car manufacturers starts developing these huge batteries and super fast charging stations in the amount of millions?  Because That is a very good question and maybe the green energy lobbyist are afraid of answering that critical question. I agree that all old diesel cars before 2015 should be banned. But banning all diesel cars is problery the wrong move right now, especially if the pollution numbers given to the public are fraud! What are the pollution numbers of the long distance car batteries? The world is not ready for that yet. More research needs to be done! Honda is claiming that by 2022 it will only take 15 minutes to fully charge a battery. That sounds good but it's still to slow. And will Honda install charing stations in EVERY gas station across the world? I don’t think so. The good intentions are there, but it will still take many years for the world to be ready for a fully electrified car future. When you can charge a battery  in five minutes and the car can drive 500 km on one load then we are talk business! But again I would like to see a comparison between Petrol Cars, Diesel Euro6 and Electric cars and hybrid cars. Who is really pollution the most? Not just driving but everything including the development of the batteries and chargers etc. I could be interesting to see. But at the moment the fossil fuel energy is the big bad thing in mainstream media. But it might change! Just always read the news between the lines. And by the way I look forward to the new electric SUVs from Audi and Mercedes-Benz. :) See Review: Audi e-tron, Mercedes Benz EQ, Jaguar I-Pace
