It’s time for a global SUV showdown!
We’ve got our hands on the British Land Rover Defender OCTA, the German BMW X5M Competition, the Italian Ferrari Purosangue, and the Chinese Zeekr 8X Yaoying!
You may not have heard of the Zeekr, but we think it could easily be a good match for the other cars in this line-up! So let’s check out the stats…
The Ferrari is powered by a 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 that pumps out 725hp and 716Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed auto gearbox, and it weighs in at 2,033kg. It’s easily the most expensive car here, with the starting price coming in at £313,000.
Then we have the BMW. There’s a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, and this puts down 625hp and 750Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed torque converter, and it tips the scales at 2,400kg. It’s a whole lot cheaper than the Ferrari, costing £137,330.
In Britain’s corner, we have the Defender OCTA. You’ll find the same BMW engine under the bonnet as in the X5M, but here it produces 635hp and 800Nm. It has the same gearbox, it weighs in at 2,510kg, and it costs just under £150,000.
Then, finally, we have the Zeekr. Under the bonnet, it only has a 2-litre turbo 4-cylinder, but it has a secret up its sleeve – 3 electric motors! When they all work in tandem, it puts down a colossal 1,400hp and 1,410Nm! However, it’s easily the heaviest here, at 2,820kg, but it’s incredibly cheap – it only costs around £54,000!!
So will this all-new Chinese EV walk it? There’s only one way to find out for sure – LET’S RACE!
