Sam great video. As always you’re on to something here where you bring the working class comparisons that people want to see. Sure everyone loves a Super Car match up, but to see what every day drivers have in their respective driveway pitted against each other is entertaining as well. Considering there is little to no drag races on TH-cam between the Q5 and RDX. Certainly makes for good water cooler conversation. Well done brother. Keep them coming!
Thanks again for coming Chris, I had a blast.
I totally agree! 👍
agree, i love these type of comparisons because then i know who i can handle on the road in day to day driving lol
@@bill7481 Hey stranger! (If it’s too long check out NeedGod.net) I come in love, I am no better than anyone here, please hear me out. Jesus did not come to save good religious people but the broken, lost, the outcast, sinners. You are valuable, not the product of nothing. “Atheism is senseless. I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance.” - (Isaac Newton, scientist) You don’t have to try to earn God’s love or try to work your way to Heaven. We already broke God’s laws, whether we have lied or sworn, looked with lust, hated, and so on, and like a just judge, God must justly punish criminals in Hell... but there is good news. Let’s say you break a speeding law, 500$ fine, all of a sudden someone pays it, nothing remains left for you to pay. So if someone perfect would be willing to take all of your Hell punishment and give you their perfect record you can justly go to Heaven because someone paid your fine. God in His love despite our hatred toward Him, made a way for sinners to be forgiven without violating justice. He took on flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. He lived the sinless life we coudnt, and then offered Himself on the cross as a sacrifice for sin. Jesus took the wrath of God you and I deserved, then rose from the dead! If someone takes your Hell punishment then you can go to Heaven! Jesus did all the work, no amount of good works can save you. God calls you to turn to Him through faith in Jesus alone for salvation. “The evidence for the life, death, and the resurrection of Christ is better authenticated than most of the facts of ancient history.” (E. M, Professor of Classics at Auckland University) come to repent (from unbelief to belief) through trusting alone in Him leading to a new transformed life. Evidence one has truly trusted in Jesus is they won’t want to sin anymore and will obey out of gratitude.
Acura has always been an underrated over achiever in performance and reliability vs. the European autos. With Acura's recent bumps in lux quality it's a serious contender now.
What Acura has been a performance car? Not one Acura on sale can compete with M cars, AMG, Cadillac, or any other sports cars other than the NSX. And that gets killed by Corvettes, Camaros, Huracans, McLarens, and especially Porsche.
Honda in F1 nuf said…all around performance and endurance…i will take that over all the short term “performance” any day…
@@ryanturnerboles None of the examples you mentioned are cars that people interested in financing vs. leasing would care to hear.
I could lease any of the vehicles you mentioned, but the only one I would purchase is the Acura.
All my neighbors have the German cars, they can do that because they drive 15 miles a day. I drive 60-100. So, your examples simply can't compete with the Acura, despite costing much more. I can buy the Acura and still put away 500 a week.
@Ortega Leyva Toys all overrated and made popular by a movie 😂 None of those cars really achieved anything, and a stock corvette was faster in a straight line and on a track than the NSX.
@@ryanturnerboles I can't tell you dont know what you're talking about!!!lmao
The new Acura 10 speed is 🔥
People are sleeping on that Acura's 2.0T + 10-speed + SH-AWD, it's no joke.
Same setup in Accord just 2wd lol put k-tuner then she will b crazy on stage 2. On the dyno I guess it only gain like 30tq but feels like 50 lol. This dude be coming up with some badass cars to race & shit that people can actually afford💯%👍👍 channel
I should be more reliable than the GM/Ford unit.
@@ae747sp5 GM Ecotec 2.0T make 295 lb-ft of torque and 316 lb-ft on overboost!
@@honda116969 my old 2013 ATS4 2.0T was making almost 400 lb-ft of torque on 92 octane. The 2016 Buick Envision 2.0T making over 360 lb-ft of torque on E85 blend all on HPTuners software and my laptop.
I have the 2019 Acura RDX A-Spec and with the KTuner tune it makes 314 hp and 340 lb/ft and it is seriously quick
Damn
Goodbye warranty
@@brolyv5802 Acura makes a very reliable engines that can handle higher boost levels. My 2.3T 08 RDX sh-awd is still running strong with +180,000 miles with Hondata+ETS intercooler+K/N for 290-300 hp/tq since 2010.
@@mrgold3591 you are right, but regardless I wouldnt want shit to happen at the most inconvenient time (murphy's law). I feel sorry for the nxt person buying your car
@@brolyv5802 I handed my 08 RDX down to my daughter 2 1/2 years ago and it is still running strong with oil/filter changes only.
Acura really needs a Type S RDX! This is already plenty fast, a type s would be awesome. It’s too bad it’s not coming until the redesign.
Agreed. Very disappointed that there won't be one for 2022. Leaning towards GLB AMG to replace my '18 RDX for this reason.
For sure
Stay tuned...The Type S will be here shortly in an RDX form.
@@chrisholmes344 Thanks Chris. You would have some Insider information I'm sure. Would it be before 2022? And would it give up some features as TLX type S does vs Advanced (Canada).
@@willleung609 Will, RDX Type S will be out in 2022 as 2022 model. Acura will release the 2022 RDX (Non Type S) later this fall, then spring 2022 after the TLX and MDX Type S have been released - the RDX is next in line. I suspect to see it April 2022. 3.0L V6 Single Turbo 355hp, 354lb tq. Should make for an interesting machine. $60,000 Canadian Dollars, tell me what will match it for price?
Goodstuff but why is the launch always delayed on the q5, acura had better reaction time, i think the q5 is the faster car
Acura 10 spd👍🏾👍🏾

Awesome choice of cars/suvs pitted against each other Sam!
I love how you drive in all those various modes and realistically. Most drivers can identify. Would you be able to show some stats such as 0-60 and quarter mile times? That would be interesting to see how the times change based on the dynamic settings of these fun, premium, luxury rides that is within reach!
After years of having Toyota highlanders 3 to be exact- I bought a certified 2017 RDX and I LOVE IT - so fast
Boring toyotas
ACURA &HONDA 🥇👍🏎💤💨
I love my Acura RDX aspec turbo. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned❤️
I just bought my white A-Spec last week and freaking love it as well. It's all around beast!
@@Cabby-om2tv may I ask how much the Aspec cost now due to the chip shortage？
@@leohoang3333 I actually did very well. I got $5500 off the price which included a $750 Honda trade in rebate. Out the door with gap, warranty, tow hitch add on was $46,424.
@@Cabby-om2tv I touched 180km/hr and not go further in sport mode what you 🤔 think
I just bought mine two weeks ago. My 2008 TL Type S had a catastrophic failure. Extremely suitable replacement and I’m not a crossover person but I’m impressed
The RDX sure is easy on the eyes.
That rdx is easily one of the coolest SUV's on the market, I've always been a car guy but these are dope
It'll last longer
It’s the best! I have one. I upgraded from 2019 RDX and oh my God how freaking nice when you drive it in sports plus mode
You guys need to look up rdx modified they look insane
Not gonna lie RDX kinda trolled Q5 at the 2nd run.
Lol
V-Tec💪🏻💪🏻
It’s that 10 speed, man! Try watching the drag race on the 10th gen accord. It’s literally taking out the competition left and right lol
Did you hit the drive button a second time after putting it sport + mode? It changes the way it shifts n drives even more
Sam, you should do the same comparison between the RDX and the BMW X3 with the same sized powertrain.
Forget X3, Gen 2 RDX would smoke a BMW X5. 280hp and no Turbo lag because it's a V6.
I am sure BMW will be quicker, ZF transmission are legendry even though X3 30i is not equipped with B58.
I have the A-spec RDX myself and love it. Bought it from North Acura too..lol. You should also do brake test. As much as we love going fast, it's also important to see how cars and SUVs with their weight stop in good time from say 60km to zero and from 100km to zero. Should add them to all your videos
The brakes of that acura are bullshit, i almosr crash a car going 95mph and i had to put the brakes god lord i put them on time i didnt hit anyone but yes they are awful
I just bought the Aspec Advance today, I dont like the brakes.. which brakes replacement would you guys recommend?
always put the prices. it just makes it that more interesting.
Can you do a drag race with the RDX A Spec and the Mazda CX-5 Turbo? That race I would love to see.
Hi @Sam, When you put the Audi in Sport Mode does it make the streeng stiffer ?
I’ll take the RDX, looks way better too
And much cheaper..
More reliable
@@danielstrynkowski2314 it’s not cheaper, make sure check on prices
@@tonyhuynh6789 I think he meant maintenance maybe.
@@incognito5109 it's a 150 dollar difference honestly with maintenance
I just recently purchased a 2022 Rdx Advance w/SH-AWD and it's a great Suv. However, I'd like to see how it stacks up against the X3 BMW, Mercedes Glc 300 and the Lexus Rx 350 on the track like you did with the Audi Q5 Sline.
Doesn’t Sport mode for the RDX just tighten the suspension & steering? Not anything with the RPMs & shifting? That’s what it feels like in my 2019 Advance. I’m curious now.
Which brakes do you guys recommend for my RDX? Mine are terrible.
Did you have the same octane fuel in both as well as similar amounts of fuel in each?
Car and driver rated the Q5 at 14.2 1/4 mile, and RDX 15.2 quarter mile. Either the Q5 driver doesn’t know how to launch it or I smell really bad bias
Is a 2020 acura blue exterior and red interior aspec that has 25k miles worth 47k with the current market right now? I am really wanting to buy one rn but idk if its a good price
Watching his delayed launch in every video is so frustrating I want to throw my phone.
Seriously though! 😂😂😂
True. Did anyone tell him?
The RDX took off WAY before him on the 6th run
For my opinions: Acura RDX has a right 272 hp pair to its multiple gears at high RPM and about Q5 it has enough hp but less torque pulling itself when 7 gears shift
Now that rdx won, could you do the same vs lexus nx, MB GLC and bmw x3? I think this class is what most people go for when they want a luxury suv and they live in the city. Would be nice to see how all compare to each other.
The Lexus would be the slowest overall with the BMW being the quickest, the GLC and RDX are around mid pack of this segment
@@drivescene6747 I test drove them all, to me the rdx and bmw felt the quickest, audi q5 a close 2nd, then the GLC and lexus was definitely the slowest and didn't feel as premium ride. I would like to see them dragging against each other by somebody else though. I didn't test the infiniti qx50 because the drive train with that cvt shouldn't even be in a luxury vehicle and I wouldn't consider buying it at all.
@@GC-kk4et lol I love your analogy of the Infiniti, spot on. It would definitely be interesting to see all those competitors you listed in a drag race, I’m pretty sure it will rake in a lot of views for this channel.
Excellent race i’am surprise also Acura for the win.👍💪👏😎🇨🇦
2021 Audi Q5 has an unreported Launch Control feature fyi. Sad it wasn't used to see the difference in the Drag Race.....put the car into Dynamic Mode + Stability into Sport Mode, left foot on the brake, right foot floor the gas pedal, revs at 4K = Let go of the brake pedal :-) (you're welcome)
I have an RDX PMC 2021, Thermal Orange Pearl. Great ride, Great Value!
Your response was off in this time around. Nonetheless it was a great video
Could you do the TLX vs the A5 in the future?
We will make that happen 100% perhaps even a 2020 TLX A-Spec V6 vs 2021 TLX A-Spec 2.0L Turbo vs Audi A5 Sportback
The A4 is more up the TLX’s alley but yeah that’s a good comparison
@@drivescene6747 they’re the same car
LOVE MY NEW RDX 2021 LOADED 10 SPEED AND THE STEREO ITS JUST WOW LOVE IT!
CL, are you comfortable with the Touch Pad controller? I wish it was both Pad and Touch Screen...
I love touchpad since day one on my 19 aspec rdx
I want to see a drag race between 2020 HONDA CRV,TOYOTA RAV4,NISSAN ROUGE and HYUNDAI TUCSON.
Great video. It would have been interesting to see how a Mazda CX-5 Turbo would do against these two.
Will make that happen
RDX would destroy that too
@@angusp5515
You sure about that? Car and Driver stats would say otherwise.
Real world results may be different though.
CX5:
60 mph: 5.8 sec
100 mph: 15.5 sec
130 mph: 35.9 sec
Rolling start, 5-60 mph: 6.4 sec
Top gear, 30-50 mph: 3.1 sec
Top gear, 50-70 mph: 4.3 sec
1/4 mile: 14.4 sec @ 97 mph
Top speed (governor limited): 130 mph
RDX
Zero to 60 mph: 6.6 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 18.1 sec
Zero to 110 mph: 23.3 sec
Rolling start, 5-60 mph: 7.0 sec
Top gear, 30-50 mph: 3.9 sec
Top gear, 50-70 mph: 5.2 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 15.2 sec @ 93 mph
Top speed (governor limited): 113 mph
The CX-5 has more torque will take the RDX off the line.
@@mion1981 Yeah it’s very torquey, but the 6 speed auto is holding it back. I’m speaking from experience as I daily drive a 2019 CX-5 Signature turbo. I’m sure the RDX would creep up at higher speeds.
That detuned CTR engine 👌
Acura best race championship 4 in a row, they could beat anyone on the track
Honda all the way man!!!!!!!!!!! i own one love it
And more reliable
Should have inside footage of the rdx to hear sound from it.
I don't know why I even watch this.... He has the reaction time of a 90-year-old.
Wow that baby Lamborghini Urus Got destroy by a Honda/ baby MDX 😂. Good video I like car reviews like this because a lot of car reviewers go by just what they see on paper keep it going man.
Real stuff here. Straight up stock for stock, both half tank of fuel, equivalent weight drivers. Punch it off the line and let the best vehicle win.
Thank you :)
😂 your profile picture is exactly how I thought you would look like after reading your comment.
Lol that’s def not a baby lambo. I hope you’re really not impressed with a 2.0t engine.
Baby lamb? That’s more like the q8
You are a great reviewer but cameras show you'd better give the actual drag racing test to someone who'd trigger the launch properly. We all think "press the gas and that's all" however breaks-rpm-timing combo needs more than that.
Rav4 prime vs rdx please😍
This channel is very powerful 💨💨💨
Thank you
Can you do a TLX vs RDX? I think the RDX will be faster.
No TLX will be faster because it's lighter.
But RDX will be very close behind
Why don't you brake boosted that Q5 at launch to get a decent 60ft?
Just got the RDX Advance model, looking forward to build the exterior into kinda an A-spec style.
You should’ve got PMC trim bro
@@youngpan2102 it’s hard to get. The PMC it’s over 50k. Tbh Acura should have their models more customizable.
@@jordycaicedo3700 😂ya I get it but how much did you pay for the advance trim? I recently got my black aspec it’s awesome 😎
@@youngpan2102 40k 2020 white/expresso, how bout your A-spec?
@@jordycaicedo3700 mines 2021 black/red 42k plus taxes and 3.64% interest rates
Would less HP loss the race? The Q5 has less HP than the RDX. Or doesn’t it matter?
Think the ACURA's SH-AWD system makes the difference. I'd rather ave the ACURA RDX Advance.
Sam, Do you mind not spoiling the results on the title. It will also get people to watch the video longer which will benefit you more.
Done
RDX very impressive performance.
Which one is expensive?
I have a loaner 2021 rdx and the turbo sounds so nice
Acura rdx 👍
Why wouldn’t you race this against the SQ5?
👍🏻 RDX
audi's DCT transmission takes time to react at start unless doing brake hold launch.
Hi everyone, so ive had a 19 ilx, a 21 tlx, also a 21 rdx and a 21 ilx. All had faint oil smell coming thru vents. And rear main seal leaking oil. Allow a bit more than 2000 km possibly less. Look for small oil residue or leak at fly wheel cover.
SQ5 vs Type S please 🙏🙏🙏
When is the sonata n line drag race coming?
Next week
2020 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid vs TLX type s
I have a RDX. It feels lively only in Sports + mode.
But what would be if Acura marry this gear box with at list their old k23 motor from 1-st Acura. I think it would be much quicker. And … just great performance, both cars. But I was surprised as Acura is not even a type S
He probably shouldn't have put the Q5 in auto mode that first launch. Not sure if that's the difference, tho.
Just a bit surprised but not really, superior Japanese engineering
Lmao the Audi was catching the RDX in every run. This dude didn’t use launch control in a DCT car. Honda has nothing that competes with Audi and BMW high end SUV’s or cars. Plus the RDX is built in Ohio. I love JDM fanboys that don’t know shit 😂
In normal mode the audi quattro plus ultra disconnects the rear wheels so thats why it was slower than the acura but in sport mode all four wheels were ready ... good job acura
It seems Acura and their "Sport" mode needs some work. The RDX is amazing! But for it to lose to a car with less power just because of a "Sport" mode, makes me think Acura needs some work.
Yea, you're right. The sport mode was dropped for 2022 RDX. Now it's just sport mode which is the sport + from previous years.
I don't know he didn't power brake to build boost but I get it he needs to the acura look good so the dealer who let him use the car make some sales
No way even a fully spec Acura beats any Audi under any circumstance, or any other German product for that matter..
The Q5 has launch control which was not demonstrated. It’s subtle but it’s in the manual as well.
What is it?
Shift to “S”, TCS off (single click), depress the brake and then the throttle. RPM will clock around 3K and release the brake within 5 seconds when you’re ready to launch.
Yo I have a 2019 Acura RDX and holy shit it is awesome
Why not the sq5?
Your intro is waaaay toooooo long!
Honda engines are probably the best overall engineered in the world. I would outrun a V8 in my 1992 Prelude.
How do you compare a 2.0 turbo vs a 3.5 v6 👎
Acura driver likes to take off when the starter puts his hand up.. just split second before drop of arm… these cars are even
How about the MDX Type S turbo 6 transplanted into its little brother 😊
Q5 seemed to lag on the launch almost every time.
Except the second run
Yeah he does that on purpose to keep Acura dealership happy. He did the exact same thing when he raced a ClA against a Kia lol and many other times. I pointed it out and he attacked me personally lol
@@alifarsani2469 It isn’t that deep man. Both are sufficient enough cars to get where you need to day to day. Personally, given that Honda/Acura is the number one engine manufacturer in the world, it would make sense for it to perform better. Both Audi and Acura make neat cars, but Acura took the win in this video.
@@alifarsani2469 When it comes to the claims you made, I don’t know if those are true or not. It appears that multiple people have stated the same thing. Nothing against you or anything man. Take care.
@@jager891 you have eyes, logic, brainpower and access to Google and other TH-cam videos. I am a proud owner of RDX Aspec 2021, black on red and absolutely love it! I have every incentives to cheer for RDX and be super happy about it smoking a German luxury rival. On other hand my ethics and conscious make me hate these type of biased and paid-for videos. This dude intentionally upshifted and messed up torque delivery of a CLA to make a Kia win! On paper, practice, both companies' numbers(!) and every other Real car journalist CLA easily beats that Kia but not here! He had to make Kia dealership happy. Same here, at the very best case scenario my RDX mayyyyy keep up with a Q5. Remember Q5 can do 0-60 under or around 5 sec and RDX in 6.2 seconds. These are official numbers and are confirmed by trusted and respected car journalists. You can use your own research and logic to come to a conclusion
What is "Sport mode all the way" and "Full sport mode"? I am so confused. Are they, or are they not, in their most aggressive settings? When? Why this nomenclature. Please help it make sense, lol!
Where's the Rav4 Prime?
Should have never dropped the 3.5l...the v6 would eat both of those
Obviously I have the V6 one. No Turbo lag.
280hp at such a low RPM no-brainer.
Take these two with 75k miles. Which one would you take to drive coast to coast without breakdown worries. Acura.
Try vs a GLC63S or a X3 M!!!! And we talk!
Is that RDX stock or tuned?
It’s a dealership car, more stock than anything
@@SamCarLegion Thanks Sam good to know. Enjoying your channel.
The DCT has delayed start
I think the drivers should switch over
Really? Also curios how did you come across this video?
You didn't use sport + mode in the Acura Rdx. Along with sport + S-mode and sport+ S-mode manual . If it beat the Audi Q5 without that. The rdx would win by a stretch with it. Bc sport + changes the gearing a lot.
Sam isn't launching the q5 at all....that 1 run when he did it pulled away from the Acura pretty easily
At least acura will still be running miles longer than that disguised depreciating Volkswagen
I don’t think anybody in their right mind should still be buy Audi and Volkswagen. Almost every mechanic workshop I’ve been to in West Africa has a Volks or Audi that has been abandoned by their owners. They make really beautiful unreliable cars.
10 speed auto from Honda is impressive. No need anymore in that dsg that has big lack of reliability…
I prefer old gen with 3.5 v6
Rdx vs GV70 base
Q5 Driver responded later than Rdx driver in general.
