BeamNG: Ultimate SUV Showdown! - Land Cruiser vs Centauri vs Defender vs Roamer!

this is going to be a very special and intense challenge for some BeamNG SUVs we've got four SUVs in the game three of them are mods let's find out which is the best we've got three challenges today we're going to test the performance the off-road ability and the reliability and durability of these vehicles so what are the competitors we've got the Gabriel Roma in four-wheel drive XT facelift form this has a 5.5 liter V8 engine it's the only vanilla car that we're testing today it'll be interesting to see how it compares to the best that the modern Community has to offer the Toyota Land Cruiser j80 this is the classic option in our lineup it's the vxr model with a 4.5 liter straight six the only car that doesn't have a V8 engine today the Land Rover Defender V8 one of my favorite mods of all time for the game this has a 5 liter V8 it's very very powerful very very plush inside what will the Land Rover do today will it perform well or will it break down I've got no idea and the procyon Chen Tori this is the l520t it's got a 4.4 liter V8 on paper this should be the best but I really do think a couple of the other cars are going to give it a run for its money especially in that off-road challenge so first off we're heading to the racetrack and if a car wins an event it gets three points if it comes second it gets two if it comes third it gets one if it comes left it gets Zippo nothing before we begin why don't you let me know in the comments which car you think will win these challenges I think it's going to be a close competition so let the competition begin okay so first up we've got the gavril Roma we're taking it around hirochi racing this is the short track configuration so with a 5.5 liter V8 engine how will this perform here we go so we are in four wheel drive mode with ESC off that start was not very good but that's fine let's see what this thing can do so handling wives there's quite a lot of body roll but the brakes are pretty good as you'll see now look Brake's pretty good means we can correct our speed for these Corners almost went off the track but we're okay now I don't know how fast an SUV should go around this track um I've driven around this course quite a bit about understeer oh my goodness come on change up oh the gearbox is like a very dumb 1990s gearbox even though this is the facelift version which I think was produced until about 2000 and something whoa um yeah the gearbox is very dumb okay break a bit around this corner you have to go quite slow and then onto the throttle over this bridge it's not a long circuit break break do you want to hit the cones don't hit the cones whoa okay still going we're coming up to the last couple of Corners now whoa jeeve the understeer in this thing and the body roll is impossible to handle okay we're coming on to the final stretch now this is where the engine should really Propel us forward but you know five and a half liter V8 oh I saw that purple well there you go 127.6 okay so the j80 Land Cruiser in vxr form four and a half meter straight six it you know it sounds like it's gonna be worse but let's see if it hands a bit better than the Roamer so here we go four-wheel drive mode as well and I mean the star feels oh no it's slower it's definitely slower I really hope this Land Cruiser does well because I just love the Land Cruiser but oh handling wise feels better yeah it's much better on the limit we've actually got a bit of oversteer there okay here we go whoa we're drifting a Land Cruiser that's off the track but we're okay that's not that's not completely off the track okay next Corner let's see how this handles it feels both whoa it feels worse and better at the same time it's more eager to kind of oversteer instead of understeer which is strange but here we go so we are in four-wheel drive mode is that actually helping I don't think it is okay this is not a race car I think we know that much um we're pulling quite a few G as well but wow okay that yeah that that wasn't too bad oh this is going to be slow oh dear poor Land Cruiser eh these Corners are just gonna kill this thing okay I had to I had to push the brakes down otherwise we'd been way off the track okay that's going to slow it us down quite a bit that is drifting in a Land Cruiser this is not come on you I want you to win go no there goes 127. oh dear 132.4 much slower that's not good 132.4 okay the Land Rover Defender V8 this thing's gonna be great it's a very very expensive car in real life and the top spec you can get so it's 5 liter V8 will it be good on the track let's have a look so we're in Dynamic mode we're in sport mode and launch control amaroff oh that feels much faster yes that feels really good so handling wise very tough hard suspension whoa a lot of understeer that's not good in first big corner brakes are pretty good in this thing yep not too bad hanging on and sure geez you understeer almost off the track and then break a bit break don't cut the corner there you go oh geez it really likes to understand this thing that's crazy maybe it's the tires I don't know whoa whoa whoa whoa okay so Dynamic mode means I guess it does affect the suspension and the engine changes the traction control settings there we go this does feel like a much quicker time though there we go just try not to go on the kitty litter there oh yes this is so much faster okay turn turn okay just slowly ease the throttle and why is it changing down again oh my goodness don't know why the gearbox did that but that is a much better time 118.9 very nearly 119 but yeah 10 seconds quicker nearly okay procyon Chen Tori one of my favorite BeamNG mods so this is the l520t the higher spec luxury model so which mode we're just gonna wait for this which mode do you want to put it in because sport will make the suspension better but Trail mode actually has more power so I think we're gonna put it in yeah let's put it oh transfer case limited slip yeah let's put it in sport mode okay here we go are we ready we're in sport mode and we're gonna Power It Up launch control and we're off fantastic okay so we're not gonna use Trail mode despite the fact it does have more power it gives the twin turbocharged engine a bit more boost but oh this has much better suspension settings which would be better for this track okay here we go that that was the best um that corner today I think all the other cars struggled on that corner whoa we're still getting that understeer very heavy cars today so it has performed better on the corners so far we almost went off there but that's pretty good wow it likes to bounce a bit that suspension is just crazy over the bridge oh cut it a bit but the tragic control kind of inhibited us putting the throttle down there that was weird where do I break here oh my goodness jeez the suspension's so weird on this thing I mean if I was to guess I think the V8 landro is going to be faster but this thing isn't doing bad oh there we go there we go that's the first time a car spun out today that's bad okay that's gonna slow us down right floor it over the Finish Line oh it's not the fastest I think we slow down massively when I lost control there but the car was just bouncing well that's that then's the rules I think 123.2 so it's in the middle hmm so at the end of that round the Land Rover is in first with three points the procyon is in second with two the gavel Roma is inferred with one and the Toyota got nothing zero let's see if the Toyota can catch up a bit in the next off-road challenge right it's time for the off-road challenge this is dirt stage one on Jungle Rock Island first up the gavril Roma so here we go let's do it whoa this is a difficult course through some very rough terrain going right through the heart of jungle Rock Island and this vehicle should be pretty good at it it should set the benchmark suspension is not too bad I mean there are actually versions of this car which don't have four-wheel drive which kind of defeats the point of an SUV in my opinion but anyway here we go let's not go too fast around here it's very muddy very wet whoa very wet and we're losing control a bit is the car still going yes it is through some muddy Wetlands okay keep it going great brake brightness Corner coming up where are we going we're going up here right oh yes oh it's very wet up here so we've got to keep the car Full Throttle so we make it through these wet Hills oh it's getting difficult now the road is undulating well now we're on some rocks okay now we're on some rocks this is where the cards will be tested for their ground clearance here we go we're still going I can use truck IR to kind of look up a bit oh we're damaging the bumpers but we're fine we're still going we're still going I think the V8 landra is gonna struggle there that is not good okay through here just throttle It Go Go you're not meant to do that but that's the best way to get through the water probably okay we're still going rhodium one minute 30 in this is a difficult course we're not going left we're going right oh car won't turn I've got a reverse I think there we go we're all right so losing time is okay because the fitness will make it up in other places geez this is difficult car is bouncing okay this is this is actually classes are very difficult um BeamNG scenario so or time trial I mean break break handbrake oh we've crashed a little bit let's get out of that that wasn't good but here's the port we're there so the brakes on dirt are not good but that's probably down to the tires these are not off-road specific tires well where are we going we're at the Port okay keep it going oh it's handling quite well around here yes oh scrape that a bit and here we go so it's gonna get about 240 is it 234.838 oh yes 234.8 okay it's Land Cruiser time there is a reason that the United Nations have used these to cross the most inhospitable places in the world I think this is going to be really good at this challenge so put it in four wheel drive mode floor the throttle and off we go so come on Land Cruiser I really do believe in you oh the grip feels good it's just not very powerful um suspension is good as well great not sure these tires probably could be a bit better they're pretty thick tires at least right here we go so it's handling well it's quite good at taking the bouncy jumps what about over here are we losing control no we're okay yeah handling it well okay keep it going I think this can beat the Roma beating the chantori will be difficult okay we're getting up into the difficult bit now climbing these Hills is going to be difficult come on floor it floor it floor you need more power yeah it needs more power that's slower than the Roamer I think up there I'm hoping that the rocks it will excel at okay that's a bit bouncy bit bouncy we've got this 90s suspension which is probably shot by now but come on I believe in you oh yeah handles the rot like a dream just perfect over these rocks just doesn't phase it at all look at that brilliant whoa through the water through the water oh my goodness uh again this corner is so difficult to turn around go come on you can do it I can see the port area coming up just around this corner whoa whoa don't lose control we're losing control okay yes that's handled that really well that's perfect on that corner okay break turn good turning Circle okay this is looking good through the port area go go go don't want to knock it out into neutral sometimes accidentally do that okay here we go turn whoa this is good this is a good time 2 222 fantastic that's great wow a full 12 seconds faster than the Roamer it just felt better all the time okay this is what I've been worried about the V8 Land Rover okay let's do this we're in the mud it should be pretty good good engine but very hard suspension so that's going to be a problem I think over the rocks we've got to take it very carefully now we might have to put it into crawling mode which will slow us down I'm just worried about damaging something if I don't put it into the crawling mode um whoa and then we won't complete it because it'd be like you know front half shaft broken or transmission broken here we go well it's handling it well so far it's well over down a lot in that muddy water it might have been sand actually because we're on the beach then right here we go break a bit how are the brakes off road that's what's been interesting to see how the brakes are off-road but uh these feel okay okay up the hill it feels pretty fast up there the Roma might have been a bit faster because the gearbox working well let's not go too fast up here there we go keep it going keep it going and here are the Rocks bit so we're going into crawling Mode come on rockfroll Rock ball go wow okay rock crawl yep that works and again Rock for all dear oh dear come on oil pan damage right engine oil critically low we need to go we need to get back into modern ruts and go oh come on sport mode why did it change into drive I think that must have been a mode thing okay right come on engine is start to boil this is not good this corner is really difficult again can we just get out of there oh come on we're stuck come on go please go please go oh dear what we stuck on what are we stuck on doesn't like it right low range mode go this is the only car that's got stuck here that's so weird okay finally we're free but that it was crippling what the heck was going on there none of the other vehicles had that problem okay we'll have to see what the chantori does through there so I can't push it too hard because we have got no engine oil now which is terrible down down down down down okay downhill from here we should be okay okay this is where this car should perform pretty well let's see if we can get it into sport mode or dynamic mode It is Well we don't hit the wall no don't let me go go go I mean to be honest I know people are going to complain that oh you crash into a wall but we got stuck in the mud of this thing I really don't think it's gonna matter oh go go wow 254 that's terrible but we got completely stuck in the mud oh yeah it's chantori time the l520t this is a luxury variant but I think it'll do pretty well okay let's go we're all set up ready to go in this thing it's going to be very very bouncy with its soft luxurious suspension but in trail mode it does have more power than sport mode now that's not great on a track right we'll just understand but over here I should be able to use the power to get up some of these steep hills okay that's good that's good we've damaged a bit but coming onto the beach now or the Sandy area it's feeling okay yeah it looks good okay power up go a lot of power but it's very bouncy very floaty suspension not great for this kind of course okay break a bit don't want to go over there oh I thought we're gonna drip into that tree okay oh yeah that is the fastest we've got this hill today I'm certain of that right over here go go go doesn't like having it oh it doesn't like flooring it does it's weird wow okay so we're coming up to the Rocks if I can see over here are we okay are we okay yep over the first bits of rocks are fine but then this second bit is really dangerous okay come on come on we're okay go it doesn't feel as confident over these rocks and stuff as the Roma did and it's not as stable as the Land Cruiser maybe the modern cars are just crap off-road you know okay here we go come on come on come on come on come on oh my yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah wow yeah I do stand by that statement actually then not good off-road are they okay no we're just bouncing around this is terrible what the hell oh I'm like sweating here I am to put so much effort into the steering wheel um just to control this thing completely we're going into some trees we're okay we're okay okay we're still in trail mode it'll be fine on this surface right off we go now turn come on [Music] there we go it's pretty good at putting its power down it is good on the tarmap this thing okay and turn and full frontal go whoa we're losing control what was that that was a 223.2 the exact same time it had on the hirachi Raceway I know that was 123s but yeah still so that is that second place behind the Toyota so what are the standings after the second round the procyon has four points the Land Rover and the Toyota are joint on three points they're in second place and in last place is the Gabriel with just two points final test is reliability and this is going to be interesting so this is the final challenge it's reliability we're at the Motorsports playground it's got a massive oval this is a modded map and by the way all the links to the mods will be in the description below but how are we going to test reliability well it's very simple we're gonna set the cruise control to 100 miles per hour I'm gonna go Ctrl W and search for the radiator when we remove the radiator a timer will begin and we'll set the cruise control to 100 and see how long it lasts the winner will be the car that lasts the longest without breaking down so so let's get a game empty there you go it's done and let's start that timer so three two one and we're off okay so we need to change this to a hundred go all the way up and there we go 100 miles per hour so this is going to be fun so what's happening right now well the car's engine is heating up rapidly the coolant's gonna overheat the oil is going to overheat things like the piston rings and the rod bearings are going to be damaged the engine is going to start knocking and the car will be unable to drive any longer what will happen is that when the car actually shuts down when the engine completely shuts down that is when we'll pause the timer and I'm going to be quick and have a look at what time it gets to so here we go the car is it's doing pretty well so far we've got quite a bit of smoke coming out the back now it's changing down because we're into like our cruise at 100. although it's slowing down quite quickly I'm gonna get ready to have a look at that timer we're already up to one minute one minute the Roman's doing okay I've my bet is that the Toyota is going to be the best just because of how reliable Japanese cars and the Toyota Land Cruiser is it's like unbreakable reputation that car okay oil is overheating that is a bad sign that means we're coming close to the end okay here we go we're at 121 rod bearings damage that is a really bad sign that pretty much means the engine is dead and we're slowing down oh the the gearbox changed up that is going to put a lot of stress on the engine engine oil critically low oh there you go 149 149. oh dear that's not very impressive but let's see what Toyota can do okay so the Toyota let's get this thing on the road so we need to get rid of the radiator there we go and set the cruise control to go and start the timer here we go so let's make sure the timer goes up to the correct setting I don't know why it does this it seems to like cancel the setting on the on the um cruise control every time you change the car but there you go come on engine change up there you go we're off right so the count is going um the radiator definitely isn't in the car so this just has a straight six I I do wonder how reliable this is going to be oh that temperature is rising much faster than it was in the Roma that's not good okay hmm I wonder will this actually do worse okay let's find out now I know that not all the cars are going to get to 100 but um head head gaskets get damaged already oh dear I know all the cars can get to 100 but um they are like flooring it as fast as they can go with this cruise control setting so it's probably as good of a test as any oil overheating already oh no come on land Land Cruiser let's say Land Rover apparently back in the day the Japanese Executives they wanted to create something like the Land Rover but um like a name like the Land Rover but then they found out oh actually we can't really do that so they created something very similar Land Cruisers so it was obviously inspired by Land Rover anyway oh 119. way worse uh that is disappointing and shocking to me but there you go 119. it's behind the aroma so we're basically just checking the toughness of the engines and Land Rover has doesn't really have a reputation for being very reliable so let's see what happens here so remove the radiator there we go and I need to reset that timer there we go and let's go in sport mode and start the timer here we go so I need to do now is get the cruise control all the way up why is the engine doing that go come on there we go nice right engine temperatures coming up this car is actually quite hard to control on here but anyway here we go so what's the engine temperature like at the moment fairly high oh yeah there's a um there's an aircraft carrier in the sky on this map for some reason well it's very comfortable in S8 of its gearbox now because it's a lower rev because of the amount of gears in this car we probably might do quite well to be honest this is going to be interesting coolant overheating so there we go it's doing well it's doing pretty well 158 kilometers per hour 99 100 miles per hour you know it's it is pushing itself but uh we're only at 3 000 revs which is basically nothing so 149 is a time to beat we're at 127. and it's there's no sign of this thing stopping rubber coming up to 145 146 the Land Rover it's going to be in first place oh my 150 we've done it this is the one to beat now the engine is still going that is impressive look at that smoke coming out the back that's really bad oh dear come on Land Rover you can do it I I would have had no idea that this car was gonna be this reliable I think this is a good test for reliability I'm not too sure oh the engine is losing power it's trying to change there you go 248 248 that's nearly a full minute faster well done Land Rover right then it's chantori time so radiator we've got a high performance radio Radiator in this thing so let's just remove it and see how it handles it we're going to go into sport mode there we go set the cruise control and start the timer we are off so let's get that speed control up to a hundred these modern gearboxes are so weird there we go now it's using all of its power getting up to speed it's a very quiet engine despite the fact it's a 4.4 liter V8 engine torque reduced piston rings damaged I mean that's not a good start is it genturi um with 25 seconds in It's already looking bad I love the dashboard on this thing look at it all so high quality the the GPS in the middle there I don't know if you can actually change the GPS over here maybe you can not too sure anyway oh engine is struggling I can hear already a minute to go to match the gavril two minutes to go to match the Land Rover hmm yeah which is going to be better this or the Toyota because this is a Japanese car you know it says in the uh games files or whatever the um info about the card this is a Japanese car there you go past the past Toyota but by how much 121 122 oh oh rod bearings I can hear the rod bearings that's not good ticking ticking away that means the engine is very close to death engine oil critically low oh we're coming up to the gavril we are coming up to the Gabriel there you go 147. 147 that wasn't that bad considering it's a very modern car but um yeah 147. well it's been a surprising day with these vehicles and the results are that the Toyota came last with just three points I had High Hopes but it wasn't to be the gavel Roma representing the vanilla game got four points it was a pretty good performance some of the challenges it didn't do very well in but overall it was kind of average the procyon Centauri Five Points it's still one of my favorite mods in BeamNG and I really really did enjoy driving it around despite the fact it was a bit unwieldy off-road and the winner with a massive six points is the Land Rover Defender V8 we're gonna drive this thing around and talk about it just for a couple of minutes so this mod is absolutely amazing I remember looking at it about a year ago and I absolutely love it now I'm not a huge fan of land drive it's about out of all of them this is definitely my favorite we've damaged it a bit but it's great to see the Landover Defender name being kept up in such good form this classic classic name the defender has been around a very long time and this modern version is a worthy successor it's powerful its performance is good it's off-road capability maybe in the other forms would be better but even with this V8 it's not bad and actually it was strangely reliable hmm so did the car that you think would win win um I was expecting the Toyota to do much better but I wasn't expecting this to win I thought the Centauri would would walk it but let me know what you thought would happen and whether you're happy to see This Land Rover at the top of the pack but that was a bit of a different video from me I've never really done something like this before I might do some more in the future they are quite difficult to make I've got to think of challenges for a start and I think I did a good job with the challenges here but if you want to see my mod reviews of all of the cards and that Motorsports playground track they're on screen right now for you to check out I think you'll enjoy them thank you so much for watching that was a big video for me to make but I'll see you soon for some more beam and G and some more simulator Adventures
