This is a big review of some big cars. The physical size of the cars in this segment has grown in tandem with their popularity. If you're looking to spend over R1million on a car, chances are you're looking for something pretty fancy, and quite imposing.

Both of these cars fit the bill very well but after spending time in both cars back to back, our video journalist Ciro De Siena reached the conclusion that they represent quite different approaches to building and designing luxury SUVs, very much in line with what you might expect from each brand.

In this video we take a detailed look at the interiors, load space/boot capacity, practicality with the rear seats in places and folded flat, the difference in performance between the two models and Ciro gives us his opinion on how each car simply makes you feel.
