My three kids now call their shades “peasant blockers” 😂. Oh, and my 10 yr old now asks me about driving dynamics.

A minute in and I’m already impressed with the editing (effects on the grill was crazy lol)

I think I'm addicted to your reviews. Keep up the great F**ing work.

Only true fans knew they couldn’t just leave us without a visor, cup holder and box test.

Great review! We just ordered an X7 x40i with the M sport package, and let me explain why we choose large SUVs over minivans. We are a family of five, and to get it out of the way, my wife and I fully agree that minivans are more spacious, have more cargo space, and are easier to get in and out of (especially for our kids). BUT, we have gone with full-sized 3-row SUVs because of the following reasons: 1. My wife prefers the higher seating position. 2. We live in Utah and have the fairly regular need for snow clearance, all-wheel drive, and the ability to drive up steep, snowy roads. As far as I know, the Toyota Sienna is the only minivan to have an AWD option, but it certainly doesn't have the ground clearance of an SUV. 3. The poshness and interior quality of up-scale, full-size SUVs cannot currently be found in the minivan market. 4. Along those lines, many of the more advanced tech features found in luxury SUVs are not as refined (or can be had at all) in the current minivan market. We regularly seat on kid in the third row, but ordered the second row as a bench to maximize seating and to be able to haul more cargo in a pinch.

This comment is now the official petition to have Straight Pipes Hawaiian shirts made.

I sell cars for a living and from my experience hardly anyone actually uses a third row in a SUV for people. Normally I see families that have one or two kids in third row SUVs. A lot of times it's one tiny woman in a gigantic Suburban because "it's safer".

Seriously, hands down the BEST car reviews on RU-vid.

You guys go from strength to strength; in-depth with brilliant graphics. Great work.

I live in Buffalo and every time I visit Toronto and see an awesome car on QEW, I always hope it’s one of you guys driving it!

Thank you to whoever is doing the hard work of the visual edits to show us the different wheel/grill looks on the car your channel is reviewing. Please keep up the good work.

Guys i am very much impressed by literally ALL of your videos. Especially this one. I really enjoy the long camera angles from the sides... from there you can see the X7 beautifully. Subbed right away :)

Me: wow that interior lighting is incredible! TSP: it isn't that good ...oh

0:26 first photos of the 2022 X7 facelift leaked

content keeps on getting better and better! you guys deserve WAYY MORE CREDIT AS JOURNALISTS!

Stop asking people to subscribe , Your work speaks for you , Such as Honest review, funny nature and your long friendship. Carry on guys , success will be by your side.

I love the TheStraightPipes, the best channel to find cars for dictators.

Big props for the 500K subscribers. I was one of the early ones. Cheers from Montreal.

Great review guys! You always seem to highlight the right amount of vehicle content.

Man you guys editing is getting better and better!

I love how unbiased you guys are!

Those grill edits were superb. You may have given BMW some ideas. Let’s see how crazy grills can become.

Loving the continued success of the channel! The effects and camera work you guys have always done really makes the videos sharp. Love the reviews and keep them coming!

Btw, first grill the one extended to the bottom is dope, It looks brilliant. You’re really an underrated editor

Excellent review as usual guys, from the UK

Writing an essay? That can wait, TSP just posted B)

Can’t believe that I just heard someone say that an X6 is a good looking car at 4:52

Hey im early again! Love the reviews and the channel keep it up!

That rolling shot with the Cullinan and the big rig... 👌🏾

LOL!!! I was about to ask for the box test, visor test and cup holder test 😂😂😂

You guys have quickly become my favourite review channel! Such thorough reviews, and U actually cover things that the everyday buyer wants to know! Keep up the good work. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 🍻👍

I like the cinematography through our your videos as the detailed reviews .

Really loving the Alpina wheel look, O and your graphics are getting really high end. Cool.

I actually love the design of the X7 and the new X5, my issue is with the new 7 Series, I do not think the big grille fits it well, not nearly as elegant as the S Class.

We had a GMC Envoy when I was a kid. We used it as a 3 row for carrying kids. It worked really well and was a lot cooler than our Ford Windstar minivan that my dad owned previously.

My wife and I need the 3rd row for Grandchildren. The extra space is great when travelling - we tend to go away on driving tours for a few weeks at a time - so the big luggage space is great

FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY YESSSSSSSS I LOVE YOU GUYS FINALLY THE X7

Great review guys, I live next to a BMW dealership in Michigan and i see these everyday, and for those that haven't seen these in person I say reserve judgment, these things look amazing.

awesome editing !

i hit the bell just cause of how chill your ask for it, i appreciate y'all

Hey Dudes- Love the edited caricature grilles. Ranks up there with the edit on Volvo Thor’s hammer headlights. For us, the third row is pure function. With us, dogs are family - so they wear Sleepypod (professionally and thoroughly crash tested) doggy seat belts, which work in conjunction with a human seat/seatbelt. With a family along the lines of two parents, two kids, and two dogs, the typical five-seat vehicle just doesn’t cut it. As far as SUV vs van; we are an active family that love the outdoors. So, we’ll consider a van when yous can show us one with the payload and towing capacity, ground clearance, and traction management of an SUV. Bonus reason for an SUV over a van: Volvo doesn’t make vans. (Ok, there’s a little subjectivity in there) Cheers Brian

You forgot the Volvo XC90, which I think is the best looking. Great review as always. Love your videos

499,259 subscribers! So very close to a HUGE milestone! You guys deserve it! Congrats on the growth and success of your channel!!!!

I love your vids, specially the mazda reviews haha!

Seen this a few times in person already. It looks better than the pictures.

My beef with the grill is that its not proportional to the headlights. The X5 grill is perfect. The X7 is like a person with squinty eyes but a huge nose. They COULD be attractive, but alot of others will say 'nice eyes, but huge nose'.

You guys are great and just wanted to let you know I got X7 M40i thanks to your amazing review and of course I'm now a subscriber !!

OMG - the grill graphics! Thank you for reminding me of the horrors not chosen by the design team. Excellent review guys.

Damn Yuri!!! That's a nice shirt 😁 and the X7 it's gorgeous!!! Nice combination!!

My family has a Honda Pilot and we truly use the 3rd row.

As a kid I love 3rd row. Although we are three kids in a family. It's so luxurious when you are thinking "where would I want to sit today". And 3rd row just feels gangster. Also we are traveling quite often and it's perfect.

By far the "coolest" reviews I've seen. Subscribed!

Impressive editing

Great review as always. They should make a plug-in EV version of this.

500k subs , very soon my dear , wish you the best, you got this cheery reviews..

My family (in Australia) have a Volvo XC90 with 3 kids and 2 adults. My parents like it cos we can bring 2 more people, and we do use the 3rd row around about once a week.

I would love a Land Rover Discovery review! My wife just decided to buy one and I'd love your impressions! We considered an X7 as well.

0:29 jesus what even is that lmao as usual, great review from these legends

I thought you guys did forget lmao in the end but I gotta say I watched tfl, Doug, and Alex on autos and you guys are dominating it with the way you guys do your reviews. Very impressive

Your guys’ editing skills are top notch

Not one mention of the LX570😔, a director competitor and the off-road ability most SUVs dream of having

Yuri, that shirt... Forever 21? Respect for wearing it.

Edits on point

11:32 I'm glad that exchange showed up again, I almost forgot about it, that line's amazing XD

The front grille on the x7 is better than the x5. It looks to me like the Punisher logo 💀

StraightPipes Hawaiian shirt. Count me in for 1 in every color!

I first saw the BMX X7 on a You Tuber's channel. I have great respect for your channel and I won't mention his channel here. His Initials are DD. That is all you get from me. Now, with all of that said, I fell in love with that BMWX7. I'm hooked on BMW's X5 x40i, and the X7 x50i. I live in Southern California and I had the good fortune to Rent them from our local Car Rental Co. I want one so bad that I hope to have the X5 x40i soon. To Lease or Buy, is the next question. I enjoy your channel very much. It is my favorite channel. Oh! I forgot to mention, I will be driving it to Colorado, and Alberta Canada. Canmore to be exact. I know you guys are on the other end of canada right? or Eh!

Been subscribed since August of last year! Still Loving the box tests and everything else you guys have to say!

The X7 really needs a shadow line package option.

Of the competitors to the X7, I probably like the Navigator interior and the XC90 exterior the best.

You guys are awesome, great video.

Congrats on 500k

I promise I am very subscribed.

Up front my God the BMW X7 is massive

4:05 I love this sound. Expected it to be weak since you're playing it down, but man... I wish my car sounded like this.

Nice shirt, Yuri!

AHH YES my favorite engine the inline v6

The Alpina wheels look awesome on there! I've seen a few of these in person and the grille is OK, but I think the ratio of grille to headlight is still a bit strange.

hit the little bell, it makes our day hahaha, you guys are hilarious and always have great releases. Agreed, essential subscription & bell.

As a french Canadian 99%fluent in English, the hardest part to me right now is when speaking, figuring out the "correct" way of saying some words like decal, and seeing you guys argue about it makes me feel much better hahaha :)

Hockey Sticks on the side and 401 Badge on the rear.... This was built for Toronto !! ;-)-

I actually use the 3rd Row for People, it does come Handy.

They really nailed it... the camera angle is very great

I think for a family, this is the one to get. It looks so good. I think the big grille suits it. Love it

The grille keeps getting bigger and bigger

U G L Y - nice review tho :)

Best Canadian youtube Channel!

Got a minivan for the wife.. but we needed another third row and I'm not a minivan daily driver type guy... And I got a Durango R/T and love it. We mainly use third row in the van for the kiddos but I use it folded down in the durango for transporting stuff, then for the kiddos when necessary.

It looks so much better with the photoshopped smaller grill 😂

Love you guys! I dream of shaking hands with you 2 one day.

I love this bus....were all going on a summer holiday. 🚍😊

Hey guys I have two cars I have a Dodge Challenger SRT 2015 and a 2001 Acura MDX which is still smooth as butter. I actually do use the third row when we take road trips as I am married with one kid but I often bring the rest of the family with me the third row albeit small is still viable for road trips and my passengers have no complaints. I literally only use the MDX for three things : groceries , snow , family hauling. When it’s just me or my wife and me , challenger all day .

Family rn is deciding between this one and Gls. Q7 is disappointing, low key convincing her to go for the Q8 though😂

Better than quirks and features.

First video of yours I saw, love how you guys do the overlays like we all imagine in our heads!

I once owned a Minivan and the 3rd row was mainly used as a parcel & groceries shelf.

Personally, hate the grill. edit: 7:29 That would definitely help.

I am the only weird one who like the Grille taking up the whole front 🤣🤣😅😅

Haha love the CG editing effects done with the Kidney Grille. Also looking forward to your review of the 2020 Lincoln Aviator and how you think that will stack up against the X7 and its competitors.
