- AWD comparison test at AET (Automotive Enviro Testing) in Baudette, Minnesota. Audi's Q7 Quattro (TORSEN Torque-Sensing AWD) versus Lexus RX350 ATC (Active Torque Control AWD) versus Acura's MDX SH-AWD (Super-Handling AWD)
This is how all suv's should be tested when doing a comparison.
Rocking a 2012 TL SH-AWD with a 6 speed manual trans and the 3.7L block. This car is magic, very underrated.
Big block Honda !! The 3.7 is a beast ! Thirsty as heck but a beast!
That’s quite rare. I have a 14 TL SHAWD but it’s automatic. Still pretty nice though.
@@drew1994 I love my 2012 3.7 TL auto. Serves great in MN winter. Hate it's gas tank tho, but then again I never follow the speed limit.
@@Sam-fs8sx does the 2012 have the split dual exhaust tips or was that only 09-11
@@cristianortiz4244 09-11 I believe
2012 MDX - simply unstoppable, you have to try really hard to get out of control. Driven on the worst of the worst ice roads, SH-AWD is simply unbeatable.
I have a TLX with SH-AWD. I have been driving around all over the place in the Dallas ice-pocalypse of 2021. SH-AWD 4 life!!!!
Acura really does have the best AWD system. SH-AWD is magic. It's too bad they don't have a real sedan to compete with the Lexus F-sport's and Audi S series. They should turbocharge a TLX and slap an SH-AWD system on it.
What about the TL ?
Ryan L. BRUH THANK YOU THATS WHAT THEY NEED TO DO PLEASE SO WE CAN STOP GETTING CLOWNED JUST IMAGINE THAT ON A TRACK
Call it the TLX Type-S
no turbo thanks, I prefer the V6 TLX with SH-AWD in Canada.
It would take nothing for them to slap a turbo off the 2.0L TypeR and swap it into the 3.5 V6 TLX, then tighten up the suspension and bring back the 6-speed manual from 2010.
350+ hp, SH-AWD, 6 speed manual (sorry millennials) and a sport tuned suspension/exhaust and you have a real competitor to the German luxury brands.
TLX Type S
Damn that Acura system was impressive!
I HAD A 1ST GEN MDX AND HAD PROPER MUD SNOW TIRES ON IT AND COULDNT BELIEVE HOW GOOD IT WAS. GOT MY BROTHERS 4WD F150 UNSTUCK FROM A SANDY BEACH. I FEEL LIKE THESE ARE UNDERAPPRECIATED FOR SURE. ALSO HAD ABOUT A 1.5" LIFT, AFTERMARKET EXHAUST BUT HAD TO KEEP SINGLE EXIT FOR SPARE TIRE ACCESS. ZERO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. NO BS, THAT WSS THE MOST RELIABLE VEHICLE IVE EVER OWNED. SUPER LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP IF YOU TAKE PROPER CARE AND MAINTENANCE.
Honda really has improved their awd system. My Honda CRV has the old Real-Time 4WD and it doesn't grip as good as the Acura SH here
My ridgeline was amazing I’m snow and never got stuck but it’s quite annoying how any slight fault in the car causes 4wd to inactivate. Tpms battery dead 4wd won’t work..
The music though..

Thank you Robert Whitlow, I bought an Acura after seeing this video that you showed me at the dealership!!
Hey Cindy, Robert from Pleasanton? He showed me the video as well :). Such a nice guy, wish I would have bought from him, I did go with the MDX as well!
I’ve owned both Audi and Acura. I love Audi for the look an aesthetic, but Acura takes the cake all day on drivability and durability, way less problems than I had with my Audi Q3.
That was Amazing Acura King of AWD
I have a 2004 Pilot AWD and a 2021 Pilot AWD. Both are magical in the snow and ice.
Love my SH AWD Acura!✊😊
I can attest to this. Own a MDX w/ SH AWD and never have gotten stuck on snow or sand :)
Switched the wife's edge to an 18 mdx. The best midsize suv I have ever driven. Hauls ass through snow.
Finally a great comparison! Acura for the win!
Acura - Honda Rules!!!
First shown was Lexus RX-350, 2nd was Audi Q6 Quattro, 3rd was Acura MDX. I love my 2017 Acura MDX Advance. Acura was also the least expensive.
У меня была Акура мдх 2008г, после неё финик джх35, потом лёша рх, также едил на разных кроссоверах других марок. Полный привод Акуры нереально круче работает чем другие машины. После Акуры впечатление, что на других марках полного привода нет вообще. Шикарная, просто обалденная машина
Как себя ведёт все таки с Вашего опыта на бездорожье, ттх говорит меньше 200 мм клиренс, что как по мне плохо будет сказываться на проходимости автомобиля, подскажите смотрю ещё в сторону Jeep Grand Cherokee как большего проходимца по бездорожью...
@@ART_YA Разве Acura внедорожник?
Смысл об этом говорить?
Ей полный привод, равно как и другим паркетникам дан не для этого.
I've been driving 4 wheel drives for over 50 plus years in harsh winters. It's all in the tires. They should have mentioned that in the test.
I got an Acura with AWD and I barely got to see it work in the snow this year🤦 that means it’s just gonna snow a lot here on NJ next year. Does great in mild rain and in super heavy rain and I only had a few slips going at >65 which is respectable.
Yeah it’s not perfect but like I said at 65 with heavy rain it was going like nothing
@@Cynical496 I drove with someone who went 100mph and averaged 80mph when it was raining like crazy. Car sticks like a glue. Was a tl awd aswell.
Next car only Honda with SH-AWD
In this video, the Acura had no slip, unbelievable. The Acura must have had special tires or even nailed tires.
No
@@slowsti0535 Miracle. I always had more confidence of off-road capacity in Subaru over Toyota, Acura and Audi. I must watch more videos of Acura to learn their AWD. Thanks a lot, bro.
So Acura allows directing torque mechanically to the right wheels while
the other systems either don’t have a locking or limited slip differential to do the same
I work at CarMax I just bought 2007 Acura rdx sh AWD. For 1700$ I work at CarMax and someone sold this whip to us I just bought it 109k miles also
The Q7 is not TORSEN, it is a Borg Warner system that is completely different. The Q7 also appears to have the factory EDL / ESP system fully disabled, this system will send power side to side in situations like this video shows.
It’s not disabled in the video. It’s active. You are correct, it does indeed send power side to side, however it does so less smoothly than the Acura. The traction control on the Q7 allows for more drastic braking of the wheels is what causes the Q7 to turn sideways.
Q7 indeed does have Borg Warner transfer case but there's torsen differential inside.
Acura на дороге БОГ!
Holy cow no stopping that acura
Yea but thats one ugly ass vehicle 😂 😂
You can totally see how much easier he was on the throttle input on the Acura.
Stop being so butthurt.
Lmao you’re blind
Almost as clear as you can see the steeper grade... throttle input shouldnt matter when you have a 5 figure awd system in a luxury vehicle.
😯 The Honda is the best in AWD snowy conditions.
I love Honda
Me too.
Honda, you rock!!
Vtec kicked in Yoooo！！！！
Honda/Acura is the ONLY consumer vehicle that will make it up that situation hassle free and without turning off traction and all that other bs. Subaru’s nowadays wouldn’t even be able to do that because of their CVT transmissions.
It's true! Basically drove up a cliff covered in ice last night
Nice SH-AWD
I wish my CR-V had SH-AWD :( should have bought an rdx dammit.
4wd swa your CRV! or search facebook marketplace. I paid $600 for mine and all it is is a bunch of sensors to replace.
elbúho R still have my 09 and modified it...still going strong
09 modified...its a keeper
My wife loves her 13 MDX!
Acura MDX all the way
That's Right HONDA=ACURA!
07rdx what I got. I cant wait to offroad it on fresh snow.
The beauty of sh awd is that it performs on dry pavement too...throw it into corners and accelerate out, pivots u around
Да после этого видео задумался над покупкой Акуры
Сам думаю что брать, стоит выбор между Акурой и Jeep Гранд Чероки
Is this the same system on the current Honda Ridgeline?
They should all have the same tires for it to be fair.
They possibly do considering the fact that its a awd system comparison test
Honda luxury car I think all have the SH-AWD
Wow honda👌🏻
I mean, the Audi probably would've made it. They just stopped for whatever reason. Still, Acura's AWD system seems really good for both handling and bad weather.
All of them would’ve made it. The point of the video was that the vehicles had to climb the ice patch without the left wheels leaving the ice patch.
This beat goes hard
I have a MDX. Glad to know the SH-AWD is awesome. Not that I get a lot of use out of it in SoCal. I also wonder how my GLS 4Matic can do?
All hail king MDX!
acura power
Do they all have the same tires on?
I believe the test was conducted with the iteration they come as from the factory to simulate normal conditions these vehicles endure. I believe the Lexus has the best all-season tires compared to the other two. What mattered was the AWD application.
I want to see a tire comparison for what was on each truck. I guarantee somebody bamboozled us
wow, im now a fan
Wow! Nice job honda.
Zuhir True it’s not Honda is Acura
@@Omar12831 the Honda logo is stamped all over the parts and body panels in Acuras. It's like Acrua is just a model of Honda... Not it's own company. I don't even consider Acura a luxury car. It's a premium Honda... Which is still awesome.
No Word about tire's, which could be a huge difference
HOly, cant believe Acura is PAR with Subaru AWD. crazy
Acura far exceeds a garbage Subaru. The cvt is trash and Subaru reliability is a joke.
Yeah, sure. Notice how on 20% ascent Lexus and Audi slide down on brakes, and on 30% Acura stands still and doesn't even slide a bit. I call bullshit
Павло Тусь
the Lexus and Audi did brake and stay in one spot for a couple of seconds. You do know 30% is steeper than 20% right? I do agree that should've shown the MDX on the 20% in addition to to 30%.
The Acura braked and stopped as well.. just need to watch better
@@FILIPINOCD looks like all were 30, the correct sign is on the right
Es un honda (acura) mi preferido
subaru nervously smoking in the corner
Subaru is smoking because of its blown head gaskets and horrible cvt.
well, testing 500-700kg heavier car on such a steep hill is just a BS. BTW, have you noticed the snow/ice on the right side of the track during the first two tests and perfectly clean for honda? Is it the reason why audi was sliding with brakes applied? At the end, the poster of this video doesn't own it, and it seems to be edited for your liking.
Chopper Pl the reasons the hills look different is because they were on different hills. This video only shows the Audi on the 20% grade and the Acura on a different 30% grade hill. There is a longer video with the Acura going up the same 20% hill as the Audi with ease. This was at the end of the longer video to show that the Acura wasn't even being challenged by the 20% grade hill.
Chopper Pl - you are BS, the RX and Q7 failed on 20 dog incline. Acura was on a 30 dog incline. Reason... the torque vectoring SHAWD, can send upto 100% to any wheel, in this case even if left two were slipping the right two with traction can pull it up. While MDX even in 2017 has a lot to improve in terms of interior and infotainment, their SH-AWD is bullet proof and pinnacle of Honda engineering. BTW as Subaru also would have accomplished this,
Weight should have that much to do with it. More weight means more friction anyways.
Video doesnt prove anything unless all cars were wearing the same tire brand and type. But I do know Acura, Subaru, and Audi have some of the better awd systems
The old, "floor it and drive like an idiot in the competitor's car but drive reasonably in your car", trick.
the audi was gonna make it but he just stopped wtf.
He lost traction and slid back till he could try to launch again, on second launch he failed to gain traction and slid back down
Audi's Quattro is a copy cat of Acuras SH-AWD. That's why the Audi made it further than the Lexus. But the original, SH-AWD is still King of the Hill.
lol the skeptics are funny. so you are telling me who ever made this video, all the trouble of setting this up, just to rig it.
Saad Sumra they didn't rig it they just put clean snow tyres on the honda whereas both the audi and lexus has shit tyres that's why they were sliding as the driver applied brakes its so fucking obvious and yea dont believe everything u see on the internet use your comon sense once in a while
Wouldn’t the VW AllTrack with F&R Torsen differentials do quite well?
Honda,,really wonderful!
Turn on ESC in the Q7 or get gen 6 quattro with torque vectoring
Did all three suvs have same tire? Tires can make a huge difference.
Like a boss.
it did fine...but why cant i find a video comparing mdx and subaru? are these two companies afraid of each other?
They need to be all on the same tires no??
Is they all had studded tires then what?
super AWD -HONDA !
Udy
Akura 👍
Acura have the best AWD system, but Aidi have the best German goebbels style propaganda.... that's all.
Lol Audi is cheating
YEAH WALLHACKER
The mdx had snow tires
audi quattro didnt make the climb!?
Who's the winner there?
The Acura made look like the Audi was being dramatic lol
slaps audis awd in the face
Put equal tires on them and the Audi does just as well.
No, that is not a tire thing. The Q5 it not able to lock the differentials and can only brake the spinning wheels to get some torque to the other side - thats not enough to climb such a steep hill. The Acura/Honda System however is able to send up to 100% of the torque to the not-slipping wheel.
Digi20 right...... th-cam.com/video/5ryxvcZltEw/w-d-xo.html
That is why this Acura SH AWD system was among the worst of any SUVs tested in the diagonal test LMAO!!!! I have only seen 1 other SUV outright fail that test.
Just a Honda commercial
Digi20 lol fuck outta here with that quackery didn't u see the tyres slipping on the audi even after full brakes had been apppied?
Brian C I just saw the video and it passed . Are you on crystal meth?
I love how the test is so misleading
which one is Lexus and Acura?
ホンダが意外にもスムーズに登れるんですね。
正直驚きです。
What he said.
My dads detroit 60 chugs up a 20% easy with a 70,000lb trailer
If he would’ve kept his damn foot on the pedal the q7 would’ve made it up just fine
He should have turned the traction control OFF.
I sent my Q7 up a 30% sand dune.. did just fine with esp off 🤔
zahed119
Was there bombs attached to your Q7?
Yoo could tell the Q7 would of made it this is biased
I have ZDX and it is literally ride on the walls
The Audi was struggling. This guy just show up and just go up like it's nothing. lmao
Видео на лоха. В конце когда Акура полезла в горку есть склейка и переход на ракурс слева.
Да блять погляди русскоязычные видосы где Акура унижает ауди на песчаных горках😂
VW Touareg for life
It is a planned test. They were giving so much torque when Quattro came and it was still going up then they stopped the q7. Acura was filmed from very far but you can see they are driving slowly and a constant speed. You cant beat Quattro awd system which is world famous for bad westher. Very misleading test.
Поставили на Ауди говно вместо резины. Она на месте то не стоит. Ее сразу сносит. Тем не менее, даже на это резине она ехала в гору. Тест полное фуфло. 👎
Бля на Русскоязычных видосах Акура унижает ку5 3л дизель на песчаных горках 😂
Добрый день всем! Что за музыкальная композиция? Подскажите...
Название песни пожалуйста?
Fake fake fake. Put same brand new tires on these suvs and do it again!
*Audi and Lexus are really luxurious cars and there brand is pretty expensive but the AWD system is just a big dissapointment smh*
