I have a GLE350, and I love it! I use it as my winter driver to commute to work in NYC and to run errands on my days off. That 2.0 Turbo 4 has just the right amount of power for my needs. In the driver's seat, you have everything at hand and where it is supposed to be. The rear seats are roomy, and the cargo space is plenty.
I thought the 350 was pretty peppy myself, but that’s a lot of money for that smaller motor. I was thinking about the 450 with the in-line six but you’re saying that the four-cylinder is OK in traffic and such
I like your guys reviews, some of the best I have seen on TH-cam - helped us make a decision to buy an MDX a couple months back. I think you guys missed something very important on the Acura, it makes your list as it should but it is the least expensive SUV on the list. Less than 1/2 the price of some of the others. Acura's SH-AWD is one of the best AWD systems on the market which is important in this segment. The fact that they are keeping the V6 is a huge plus as turbo's have issues down the road. Gas mileage isn't that great, but as good or better than most AWD vehicles of this size. The track pad isn't a thing, you still have buttons for heat and the things you use most, you only use the track pad to use the Nav or change radio stations, it is very easy to get used to, and a plus, if you put your finger in a corner, you are highlighting that button, so quick and easy to get used to. I like the piano black.. But most important, the interior is very comfortable. We looked at other SUV's but the ones on your list are above many peoples budgets...
AGREE! We bought the '24 Acura MDX Spec. Enough power and sporty as heck. GREAT Sound system too! Value is hard to beat. We call ours the "Carbon Cuda!!!!"
You get what you pay for... new is always worth it. The reason for depreciation is that those first 20K to 30K miles are the best, least expensive, and most reliable miles a vehicle will ever have. It may seem like a good deal, and in some cases it might be, but mainly, you are paying the actual value at initial purchase and at 3 to 4 to 5 years in. These values are set by the market place, which is VERY ACCURATE as to value. Buying older cars is an initial savings, but you pay for it in repairs down the road.
@@annenominous7220I have a certified Avalon that has had one repair in 10 yrs. The math says that someone else paid that depreciation while I invest the 30k I saved and still get a good car.
I LOVE my 2021 X5 xdrive 40i, it is the best! I can't ever imagine a better vehicle...I'm sure somewhere down the line I'll end up with another one! Great video, always love hearing your thoughts. Happy New Year!
Regarding the X5, just in from Car and Driver: “The X5 and X6, despite recent updates, were both down by double-digit percentages compared with 2022, while the X3 and X4 were down too, but by smaller margins.” The bigger they are the harder they fall.
First time on the channel, I like the way all the Pros and Cons are discussed and lists out prices for both Canada and the US so we don't have to jump on to every brands website to find out. Great video
I can't believe you did not include a Genesis GV80, I upgraded from a Mercedes ML 350 two years ago. Back then my final choices were the Genesis, the 450GLE, and the BMW X5. The Genesis was the best of the group...better options, better ride, better comfort, better safety features and it was at least $25,000 less than the other two vehicles. I've driven the GV80 almost 20K and it is by far the best vehicle that I have ever owned in my 35 years of driving. And the added benefit I get close to 35 mpg, with 30 mpg on the highway....
Love the Rx 350! The hybrid version is great as well. Very luxurious, yes lacks power if that's high on your priority list, but I'm ok cruising around in a very quiet, high end, reliable vehicle. The Mark Levinson surround sound is clear and crisp and perfectly leveled. Still handles great and the technology has been much improved. The giant 14' screen is a big win! If budget wasn't an issue I'd love to try the Porsche Cayenne S!
I currently own a Mazda CX-5 signature model. The interior matches that of the Lexus. The leather and stitching is very well done. The wood is also great. With a turbo charged engine with plenty of pop and great handling. A lot of fun to drive. Save yourself a good deal of money, drive one and compare. You will be pleasantly surprised. I will put its reliability and safety against any of the SUV’s in this video. Mazda is not known as a luxury SUV but it should be.
Yes there is a market for these. But...the prices are just getting absurd. I am really skeptical that with all the emphasis on electrification and cutting edge technology - on so many new vehicles - quality is going to plummet.
Genuinely surprised that the Genesis GV80 and Infiniti QX60 did not make it over the MDX. While your initial review of the MDX stated it may be a perfect mid SUV, you seem to like the Genesis and Infiniti over it and even said you'd prefer the Infiniti. Maybe the addition of the Type-S to the MDX lineup changed your mind, but I am pleased it made your list. I test drove it and loved it, even over the X5 40i (without M Package).
@@twfinc6855 I was strictly going by their reaction in their review of the QX60. But I am surprised to hear of your feedback as I’ve never heard other complaints of it being rough and noisy.
12:54 I know I’m probably in the minority but I really don’t like that MB interior with A/C vents front and center. I think luxury cars should do a better job at hiding those vents.
I thought the Genesis would rank a little higher than honourable mention, honestly. Mercedes should be ashamed of their CR score on the GLE though. When you're paying the premiums you are for these vehicles, they should greatly outperform the non-premium models.
Meh, I don't pay attention to CR. Their ratings have never coincided with my personal car choices. Sure, I might rely on them for a dishwasher, but not a car. I think the GLE is a truly top performing car, marred by reliability concerns. But those reliability concerns are mostly software/electronic, nothing that will leave you stranded from what I know.
I love my 2017 Rx it still looks great to this day and modern at that. So reliable I’ve never had any issues. I have the hybrid which delivers great fuel economy and while it might not be on the faster side it definitely gets the job done. Underrated for sure.
Having just watched "The Ghost Writer" movie last night, by chance, I noticed how perfect the BMW X5 "looked" in that 2010 movie compared to this thing you reviewed today. While I am sure the car and tech are much improved, still, like Porsche sports car: if you Have "the look", why change it? Love your reviews.
We love our ‘21 Audi Q7! If not for the technology quirks, it would be the perfect SUV! Test drove most of these but the Q7 was just the best all around performer for these two senior citizens!
@@Wisdom7Inothing is different on our ‘21 than the new models. Exactly the same except the new models can’t get all the options we have our ‘21 Prestige.
I'd prefer ranking, not alphabetically…just saying:). My next car…I'm torn between the RDX (needs to change the track pad though), the Lexus NX, or the Lexus RX (if I can afford it lol).
I think you should go with the RDX not only will you not be breaking the bank with the RDX but the smooth 10 speed is just simply amazing it’s comfortable and actually not boring to drive it’s quite fun especially if you get the A-Spec, and I’ve heard from many people even myself with experience with Acuras that the touchpad should not be a deal breaker it’s very easy to get used to.
I really appreciate the information you all share in your videos. Thank you! Do you have a 3-row luxury SUV top picks video? I couldn't find one and I'm really looking for luxury but bigger than these mid-size SUVs.
The Acura MDX is the smart choice. Precision engineering at its best. Reliable, comfortable, sensible, attractive, durable, nonsensical, great resale, do I need to keep going? Get one now, you will never regret it!
I always have like the Porsche models very sporty look and the sound but have not drive one, I hope one day soon. Thanks to You GUYS for a very informative video of all the vehicles you mention, always learning something new.
The Q7, exterior, is getting long in tooth but they completely redid the interior and it keeps pace with all the modern Audis from an interior perspective. It’s actually more modern than the recent Q5.
Guys, those quality scores are for initial quality (first 90 days I believe) and first 3 years. Basically meaningless for anyone other than leasees. A 6 year score would be A LOT more meaningful, telling a more complete picture of a vehicle's real quality.
The thing about quality scores is they change model to model year to year. We have a neighbour interested in a used Macan and I pulled al the numbers for him year to year and recommended which model years to look at based on reliability. If you are buying used you should really look at each year to investigate any issues. For those who are leasing, these scores don't mean a lot, they just want the vehicle. If they have any issues, it will be under warranty and they plan to give it back after 3 or 4 years and either get a new one from the same brand or move on to another. These scores we provide are just a guide.
I test drove every car in this segment, and I ended up purchasing an MDX Type S Advance. It's not perfect, but it checks all the boxes that I wanted at a decent price point compared to its rivals. Granted, I got mine for about 10% off MSRP.
It would be nice if you started telling us what car you’re sitting in during these coffee, questions and cars segments. I love a nice panoramic sunroof! 😊
Volvo SC60 plug in hybrid with the Ultra trim beautifully crafted by Volvo I'm typically a Lexus man but this time I might be seriously considering this 2025 gen Volvo, I fully loaded one on the Volvo configurator comes out at 69000 UK Pounds that was absolutely loaded with all the best options ZF 8 speed auto, great mpg and 455hp on tap!
I like the RX and the MDX. I also think the Infiniti QX60 should be a good recommendation. The X5 was considered one of the worse SUVs by most TH-cam reviewers in reliability and driving dynamics.
@@mrgurulittle7000 I have not seen any negative reviews, and the professional reviewers all give high praise. Consumer Reports ranks the BMW X3 and X5 as their No. 1 choices in luxury SUVs. TH-cam Car Confections highly praises X5 and calls it the quietest SUV ever rated with a smooth incredible ride. Motormouth TH-cam puts it in their top five.
Any of those cars, I buy one or 2 years old at most (certified). The MDX will be the best resale when your ready for the next MDX 3-4 years later. The last MDX we had cost us $7k to drive nearly 5 years and 65k miles. Not to mention, the service side at Acura was very very good to us. A couple of those other manufactures need to go back to school on customer service.
I test drove the base RX 350 and then the NX 350, both with the 2.4 turbo. Let me tell you, the RX wins by a mile! The NX tester was much noisier, had a couple little rattles and just didn't feel near as refined. The price difference not being that great, I'd go with a base model RX any day! Beautiful ride. Yes, I would prefer to have the V6 as the turbo 4 is a little noisy when you put your foot down.
I have had my RX500h for a year now with 20k on it and not one creak or rattle.. First car I ever owned that didnt have any rattles after a year.. So far Im very impressed, its fast and nimble on the highway or around town.. Perfect size for me, and im 6'5" tall also.. I found the RX350 a bit gutless.. After coming from a Mercedes E class I couldnt go for the 350, had to be the 500 or nothing
Very good honest review. I would classify these more as full-size SUVs. I don’t think they really fall in the mid size category. Maybe you have another video that compares the next smaller size down. Midsize SUVs don’t have a third row seats. At least I never thought of them that way
Excellent comparison’s, have owned Acura and Mercedes SUV’s and like both. Interested in moving to Porsche S but trouble pulling the trigger on the higher price. In the end I will buy safety,reliability, affordability and luxury, that leaves MB or Porsche.. great show that provides an unbiased information that I can understand and use for future planing. Thanks again.
Porches are very reliable, more than some Lexus. Only issue is expensive repairs when they do come. JD power ranks them at 87 #1 on the lists., as for Mercedes it’s a hit or miss I know the 2018-2021 Mercedes gle are horrible and the later models are starting to improve.
Want to try asking this for the next QC&C but what do you guys think of the 330e? I want a sedan, can't stand SUV's, and the PHEV for my well within range to and from work commute. Is the G20 platform as reliable as it seems? I've done some homework and I don't see any glaring issues with the current 2.0L akin to Audi's EA888 gen 3 water pump issue (have an A3, love it, tuned it, but it's getting a bit aged).
Our neighbour has one and absolutely loves it, he's had it for about a year now. He put a Level 2 charger in his garage so he can charge it often. He says, he rarely buys gas.
Ive owned 3 infinitis in the past, the new Qx60 I like the look but it was rough over bumps and has a lot of road noise. I was disappointed when I drove it last year... And your suprised to see the RX and MDX? The RX is nicer than the MDX.. Not quite as big but nicer overall inside and much more refined. The RX is way better than the QX60. Also the bose sound system sucks.
Great choices! The fun thing about the bmw X5 is the 2024 is so much better than the 2023. The interior changes make it a top pick for sure. I ordered a 2024 as soon as I could last April and it came in 4 short weeks. Love it so much. Super nice with the m sport package added and 22 inch black wheels. The new interior sold me over the Mercedes GLE. It has been perfection since day one.
Hubby and I are looking at the 2024 BMW X5 too…..the price tho 😅 But we want to build more equity in our Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid before we bite the bullet and make a trade.
I drove them both and picked the MDX. The QX60 is better for someone looking for a more trucky SUV, and MDX is more car-like. I liked the interior and infotainment system in the QX60 better. But the final decision came down to Acura's superior reliability. Even though I hate the infotainment system. Just sucks.
I bought Infiniti QX60 yesterday after watching your mdx vs QX60 video. I'm sad it wasn't on this list. I feel like I've been mislead by you guys feeling sorry for the underdog😢
Hi Jack and Andrea! Happy new year 🥂! I have a 2022 VW Taos 4 motion. I had ordered it from my dealer back in early 2022 (3 months production wait time). Been driving it for almost 2 yrs and really like it. I’ve seen the new 2024 Cadillac XT4 Luxury trim model and find it great looking but also very interesting for what it offers for its price. It’s so comfortable on so many levels. What are your thoughts on it compared to my Taos? Good future trade idea or, stay with the Taos? My Taos is a lease, therefore; eventually I will have to decide to either trade or buy it back.
So the MDX track pad is a deal breaker and the Lexus is stolen to often in Ontario that insurance is insane on them. Does that make the Infiniti QX60 the only real Japanese option??? No one is buying a German car, they only lease them. 70% of German sales are leases. Do I have any other options????? Genesis doesn't sound like a good idea either.
Have you thought about a certified German car? I bought my 2021 X5 in 2022, it was just a year old and with the certified coverage, it's under warranty until Dec 2025 with UNLIMITED mileage. With it being used (felt new), I've already paid it off and have no worries for almost another 2 years.
I recently added a 2024 GLE450, to my list of cars, which also includes a 2022 E450 All-Terrain Wagon. The key to Mercedes long-term ownership, is to not go crazy with adding a ton of electro-mechanical doo-dads into the options list (typically done by leasors), but on the contrary, aggressively edit out as much of the electronic doo-dads as possible. Skip the Airmatic suspension, skip the E-ABC suspension, stick to the standard selective-damping double-wishbone suspension, skip the soft closing doors etc. All of these listed on the "skip" list are potential future expensive trouble-spots that you do NOT want. If you are leasing, then go right ahead and go crazy with these options, but God help the person who buys this car when this lease is returned. My All-Terrain wagon comes standard with the Airmatic, but I wish it did not, even though the reliability till date has been pristine, but it is still young at 32,000 miles. The key to LONG term Mercedes ownership, is to stick to the basic GLE450, add in the Panoramic moonroof (drastically alters the interior ambience), the brown walnut wood, the acoustic package with the thicker glass/windshield, the higher-end Burmeister sound system and be done. Based on my experience with my prior ML320 that went 245K completely trouble-free miles till it was donated, the configuration above, will last for a million miles with no issues whatsoever. The basic Mercedes drive-train, including the AWD system, and the basic Mercedes suspension are bullet-proof, and that's exactly what you have here. PS: The GLE350 has a lower-end AWD system, when compared to the AWD system in the GLE450 and above. Essentially the GLE350 has a simple 50/50 viscous coupler and open diff, that splits power 50/50 and uses the vehicle braking for torque transfer, while the GLE450 and above, have a much more sophisticated rear- biased AWD system that can do 0/100 or 100/0 power transfer.
I actually like the Acura touchpad. Easy to use and not having a touch screen keeps it clean MDX is the most bang for buck in the luxury midsize segment. Exterior looks are a major plus as well.
I would love to have a discussion with you about Acura’s touch pads. But I don’t want or need another message app . First time I’ve heard of the Telegram app.
I wonder why the new Mazda CX90 didn't make your list? We opted for the 2024 Acura MDX ASpec. GREAT car! Enjoying it a lot. Fun to drive and an awesome sound system. Sporty as heck too!
Because it's not a "luxury" vehicle. I have a cx-9 Carbon. Most everyone who has gotten in initially says "This is too nice to be a Mazda". I sat in the CX-90 during a service visit. The interior was even better, except for the new stupid BMW ish shifter
Excellent video! You guys are spot on with the top list: I love the Porsche turbo gt and really appreciate your mention about Range Rover reliability. Thanks 🙏
Hey Zach and Andrea, got one small suggestion for you, when you talk specs, please, PLEASE add those onto a screen as you do with price and fuel consumption data 😊 love your channel and the content!
Hmm, I mean the info about an engine on the screen. I rewatched it again and still couldn't find it, I'm talking about horse power, torque, displacement and whatnot. You talk about it - yes, but it'd be nice if at the same time this data is visualized
The XC60 Recharge is well done, it has a refined drive, quiet cabin, an upscale interior and it has some good range. However, reliability isn't the best.
2023 J D Power US vehicle survey: Volvo is below average, yes (16% worse than the industry average), but let’s be fair, better than VW (apologies Zack), Audi (apologies Zack), Mercedes, and Tesla. And Porsche has only 3% better reliability, a wash. I have 24,000 miles of Recharge experience, no drivetrain issues. Software issues yes . . . but not that unusual for ANY new car. A 1998 V70 bought new, 3 pedals, still rates a spot in the garage.
I drove the MDX, Infiniti Qx60, X5, GLE, and Genesis Gv80 and Gv70....... I bought the RX500h.. Its a big step over the last gen, I love the quick power delivery, I love the size as its not too big and zips around town awesomely, plus the torque over 400 ft lbs, its perfect for me, passes a couple of cars in seconds.. its quick... if I wanted a larger SUV I probably would have bought the Gv80, the Gv70 was quick, but not up to par interior wise... QX60 was noisy on the road, hit bumps hard.. not refined.. the GLE too big, X5 was very nice but too big Also the GLE and X5 $$$$$$$ get very expensive up over 100k very quickly ... but also has more options etc.. For me the RX500h hit all the marks.. Its not perfect but darn near... and that sound system... WOW... Very quiet and more refined and quiet than the MDX. MDX interior did not look that nice in my opinion.. Overall I think the best value was the GV80.
2024 My Top 5 SUVs are Land Rover Defender 110 V8, Range Rover Sport, BMW X5, Jaguar F-Pace, & Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. Now Wish Me Luck on the Lottery. (smile) I Can Dream, Can't I?
This just in from car and driver: The X5 and X6, despite recent updates, were both down by double-digit percentages compared with 2022, while the X3 and X4 were down too, but by smaller margins.
Great choices of top 5's and honorable mentions. Not a big fan of piano black fantastic plastics - not a fan of that haptic feedback touch panels. I'll stick w/my 2017 Audi Q7 w/buttons,control wheel & trackpad. Plus it's tuning options that unlocks the additional power that it's 3.0T is capable (especially supercharged CREC motor) - gives you enough 'oomphf' passing power when you need it that beats it's turbocharged engine upgrade from 2018 to present. All turbocharged engines produce so much unwanted heat causing more breakdown and wear, that you must do your oil changes early to keep a healthy engine and extend their longevity.
Wait! I thought you preferred the Infiniti QX60 over the Acura! I have owned he QX60 for a year. It’s perfect …I’ve put 18,000 miles on it. Mostly driving the ski resorts. Haven’t had any issues. Love the entertainment system…touch screen. That a Accura touch pad would drive me nuts
So much of the purchasing decision for any of these vehicles depends on the lease rate, financing rate and residual or how much the vehicle depreciates over 3-5 years. In addition, how does maintenance cost affect your ownership experience. I love the Mercedes vehicles, and have owned 5 of them from new. However, it seemed like I could never leave the dealership for service under $1000 in Canada. For these reasons, I believe the Acura and Lexus are miles ahead of their German competitors.
@@Antsir12 Lexus for the quality. I’m quite sure that you love the outdated Gloomy Grey or Boring Black interior colors that every automaker has been shoveling down everyone’s throats since 1990 😂
We have had an X5 M50i and a Q7 before. Wife recently test drove the QX60 Autograph and I would pick it ahead of half of this list. The build quality and look is ahead of of most of them.
QX60 is very cheap and outdated inside, yes, it still looks more or less aggressive from the front, but everything else is just late 2010s.And lastly,it is not built good, believe me,I was working in Nissan/Infinity dealership.
@@BmwAlfa123 I drove all of them... The infiniti was disappointing.. it hits bumps hard and you hear a lot of road noise.. I bought the RX500h it was a LOT nicer.. overall refinement was far superior, but also more $$
@@twfinc6855 absolutely not. With the RX you can tell that its a rebadged Toyota. Too many similarities unlike the Infiniti and Pathfinder. Lastly, RX is not even in the same class. Its a class below the QX60.
Its just driving me insane by looking at the prices nowadays. I remember MDX was within 50 - 59 000 $ CAD just less than 5 years ago and it is over 100 000$ CAD now, and it`s when average person income in Canada ranges between 3000 to 5000 $/ month. I haven`t noticed my salary going up 2 times more in those 5 years, unlike car`s prices.
Great list! I looked at most of these ended up going with the Jeep Grand Cherokee limited. Dealership was able to discount MSRP alot. They also offered 5k more for my trade-in than any other dealership. Only slightly worried about reliability. Fingers crossed
Hello,I always enjoy watching your reviews and Iike how you go in details and pricing. I am planning for Mercedes GLC 300 2024 but stuck between the regular and coupe. Can you please make a review between 2 cars.?thank you and much appreciated.
Any BMW with the B58 inline 6 cyl is the one to buy.
For me among the choices, it would be a Lexus RX350h and my second choice would be the Acura MDX. 😁

The smartest budgetary move is to buy 2-3 years old after a lease. Buying new causes a $5k loss as soon as you drive off the lot.
Love your videos!! Porsche is my dream car, perhaps for lots of people as well. I hope I can get one after my daughter finishes the university!

While your initial review of the MDX stated it may be a perfect mid SUV, you seem to like the Genesis and Infiniti over it and even said you'd prefer the Infiniti. Maybe the addition of the Type-S to the MDX lineup changed your mind, but I am pleased it made your list. I test drove it and loved it, even over the X5 40i (without M Package).
Me too! I bought an MDX Spec due to value for the money over the BMW X5 MSport
Qx60 are very unreliable you do know that ?? Right ??
GV80 yes, infiniti no.. its rough and noisy and the bose sound system is junk... I took one for a 1 hour drive and was not impressed.
@@twfinc6855 I was strictly going by their reaction in their review of the QX60. But I am surprised to hear of your feedback as I’ve never heard other complaints of it being rough and noisy.
Great review. I previously had a Cayenne S E-hybrid - that was a great driver. The new ones are SO expensive!
12:54 I know I’m probably in the minority but I really don’t like that MB interior with A/C vents front and center. I think luxury cars should do a better job at hiding those vents.
I thought the Genesis would rank a little higher than honourable mention, honestly. Mercedes should be ashamed of their CR score on the GLE though. When you're paying the premiums you are for these vehicles, they should greatly outperform the non-premium models.
True. But do not underestimate the true effect of greed. 😊
Meh, I don't pay attention to CR. Their ratings have never coincided with my personal car choices. Sure, I might rely on them for a dishwasher, but not a car.
I think the GLE is a truly top performing car, marred by reliability concerns. But those reliability concerns are mostly software/electronic, nothing that will leave you stranded from what I know.
Thank someone finally saying it Gle is literally the word in his class so so unreliable
I love my 2017 Rx it still looks great to this day and modern at that. So reliable I’ve never had any issues. I have the hybrid which delivers great fuel economy and while it might not be on the faster side it definitely gets the job done. Underrated for sure.
I have a 2017 RX and I got it for reliability reasons
I like this review
Yeah what can go wrong in a tarted up Toyota Highlander! 😂
Since i plan to keep my vehicle over 5 years, I went MDX.
Good choice
You guys are awesome. Great job reviewing these Top 5 Mid-Sized Luxury SUVs. I vote for the BMW X-5 M60. The Porsche's are frankly just to expensive.
Having just watched "The Ghost Writer" movie last night, by chance, I noticed how perfect the BMW X5 "looked" in that 2010 movie compared to this thing you reviewed today. While I am sure the car and tech are much improved, still, like Porsche sports car: if you Have "the look", why change it? Love your reviews.
We love our ‘21 Audi Q7! If not for the technology quirks, it would be the perfect SUV! Test drove most of these but the Q7 was just the best all around performer for these two senior citizens!
@@Wisdom7Inothing is different on our ‘21 than the new models. Exactly the same except the new models can’t get all the options we have our ‘21 Prestige.
I'd prefer ranking, not alphabetically…just saying:). My next car…I'm torn between the RDX (needs to change the track pad though), the Lexus NX, or the Lexus RX (if I can afford it lol).
Both reliable and boring, not really a tough choice between them. 😂
I think you should go with the RDX not only will you not be breaking the bank with the RDX but the smooth 10 speed is just simply amazing it’s comfortable and actually not boring to drive it’s quite fun especially if you get the A-Spec, and I’ve heard from many people even myself with experience with Acuras that the touchpad should not be a deal breaker it’s very easy to get used to.
You two are great. And great video - useful
B
I really appreciate the information you all share in your videos. Thank you! Do you have a 3-row luxury SUV top picks video? I couldn't find one and I'm really looking for luxury but bigger than these mid-size SUVs.
What happened to the QX60? 😅
The Acura MDX is the smart choice. Precision engineering at its best. Reliable, comfortable, sensible, attractive, durable, nonsensical, great resale, do I need to keep going? Get one now, you will never regret it!
I love Acura MDX three rows seven seats awesome 😎
I always have like the Porsche models very sporty look and the sound but have not drive one, I hope one day soon. Thanks to You GUYS for a very informative video of all the vehicles you mention, always learning something new.
That Audi Q7 looks like a car from 2010. I would not have had that on my honorable mentions.
The Q7, exterior, is getting long in tooth but they completely redid the interior and it keeps pace with all the modern Audis from an interior perspective. It’s actually more modern than the recent Q5.
It’s the best looking suv. All the new designs are just ugly (Santa fe, pilot, x7)
How does any hybrid and plug in last in Canadas -30 degree weather in Alberta for a month ? Can’t see it being for this climate?
The power of radio voices
Guys, those quality scores are for initial quality (first 90 days I believe) and first 3 years. Basically meaningless for anyone other than leasees. A 6 year score would be A LOT more meaningful, telling a more complete picture of a vehicle's real quality.
Ownership in the luxury category is primarily composed of leases, with some vehicles by a wide margin. It will never not be an important metric.
You might be surprised how many people DONT keep cars 6 or more years anymore.
The thing about quality scores is they change model to model year to year. We have a neighbour interested in a used Macan and I pulled al the numbers for him year to year and recommended which model years to look at based on reliability. If you are buying used you should really look at each year to investigate any issues. For those who are leasing, these scores don't mean a lot, they just want the vehicle. If they have any issues, it will be under warranty and they plan to give it back after 3 or 4 years and either get a new one from the same brand or move on to another. These scores we provide are just a guide.
@@JDubbs07How often do you see a 3 year lease?
@@wyw201 a 3 year lease is the standard agreement.
I test drove every car in this segment, and I ended up purchasing an MDX Type S Advance. It's not perfect, but it checks all the boxes that I wanted at a decent price point compared to its rivals. Granted, I got mine for about 10% off MSRP.
It would be nice if you started telling us what car you’re sitting in during these coffee, questions and cars segments. I love a nice panoramic sunroof! 😊

@@andreaspencer9813 Thank you! I figured it was your own vehicle because it always makes it onto the videos! 😊
Volvo SC60 plug in hybrid with the Ultra trim beautifully crafted by Volvo I'm typically a Lexus man but this time I might be seriously considering this 2025 gen Volvo, I fully loaded one on the Volvo configurator comes out at 69000 UK Pounds that was absolutely loaded with all the best options ZF 8 speed auto, great mpg and 455hp on tap!
I like the RX and the MDX. I also think the Infiniti QX60 should be a good recommendation. The X5 was considered one of the worse SUVs by most TH-cam reviewers in reliability and driving dynamics.
X5 rated #1 by Consumer Reports and also highly on reliability along with the X3. This is a great independent source.
@@Wisdom7IX5 just isn’t as good as it is. There are more negative reviews than positive ones.
@@mrgurulittle7000 I have not seen any negative reviews, and the professional reviewers all give high praise. Consumer Reports ranks the BMW X3 and X5 as their No. 1 choices in luxury SUVs. TH-cam Car Confections highly praises X5 and calls it the quietest SUV ever rated with a smooth incredible ride. Motormouth TH-cam puts it in their top five.
@@Wisdom7IMechanic reviews don’t rate the X5 high, though.
Any of those cars, I buy one or 2 years old at most (certified). The MDX will be the best resale when your ready for the next MDX 3-4 years later. The last MDX we had cost us $7k to drive nearly 5 years and 65k miles. Not to mention, the service side at Acura was very very good to us. A couple of those other manufactures need to go back to school on customer service.
I test drove the base RX 350 and then the NX 350, both with the 2.4 turbo. Let me tell you, the RX wins by a mile! The NX tester was much noisier, had a couple little rattles and just didn't feel near as refined. The price difference not being that great, I'd go with a base model RX any day! Beautiful ride. Yes, I would prefer to have the V6 as the turbo 4 is a little noisy when you put your foot down.
NX been cheaper model.
I have had my RX500h for a year now with 20k on it and not one creak or rattle.. First car I ever owned that didnt have any rattles after a year.. So far Im very impressed, its fast and nimble on the highway or around town.. Perfect size for me, and im 6'5" tall also.. I found the RX350 a bit gutless.. After coming from a Mercedes E class I couldnt go for the 350, had to be the 500 or nothing
Very good honest review. I would classify these more as full-size SUVs. I don’t think they really fall in the mid size category. Maybe you have another video that compares the next smaller size down. Midsize SUVs don’t have a third row seats. At least I never thought of them that way
Great video! Both Porsche and Mercedes are beautiful exterior. But Porsche is my favourite. Cheers! ☕️☕️
Yes, very beautiful, they both offer a great exterior design.
@@andreaspencer9813 👍🏻👍🏻☕️☕️
Acuras and Hondas have such busy interiors.
Would like you to mention what fuel type when giving fuel economy. Granted most require premium.
Hmmm. They picked the Infiniti Q60 over the MDX during the year?
Excellent comparison’s, have owned Acura and Mercedes SUV’s and like both. Interested in moving to Porsche S but trouble pulling the trigger on the higher price. In the end I will buy safety,reliability, affordability and luxury, that leaves MB or Porsche.. great show that provides an unbiased information that I can understand and use for future planing. Thanks again.
Porches are very reliable, more than some Lexus. Only issue is expensive repairs when they do come. JD power ranks them at 87 #1 on the lists., as for Mercedes it’s a hit or miss I know the 2018-2021 Mercedes gle are horrible and the later models are starting to improve.
Why did you eliminate the Volvo?
Want to try asking this for the next QC&C but what do you guys think of the 330e? I want a sedan, can't stand SUV's, and the PHEV for my well within range to and from work commute. Is the G20 platform as reliable as it seems? I've done some homework and I don't see any glaring issues with the current 2.0L akin to Audi's EA888 gen 3 water pump issue (have an A3, love it, tuned it, but it's getting a bit aged).
Our neighbour has one and absolutely loves it, he's had it for about a year now. He put a Level 2 charger in his garage so he can charge it often. He says, he rarely buys gas.
How do you people afford to live in Canada the prices of everything seems crazy
I owned a 2006 Porsche Twin Turbo. Excellent vehicle, until it needed repairs. Very expensive, would love to have another one day.
wonder if there is top5 normal hybrids?
I am surprised you did not have the Lincoln Nautilus. I am wondering what your thoughts are on that.
It's probably not on the list due to poor reliability.
I'm a former Lincoln owner and would never buy another.
Do you guys ever tried Infinity QX60? I am surprised to see MDX and Lexus RX..
Ive owned 3 infinitis in the past, the new Qx60 I like the look but it was rough over bumps and has a lot of road noise. I was disappointed when I drove it last year... And your suprised to see the RX and MDX? The RX is nicer than the MDX.. Not quite as big but nicer overall inside and much more refined. The RX is way better than the QX60. Also the bose sound system sucks.
Lexus and BMW wins for me 🙈
Great choices! The fun thing about the bmw X5 is the 2024 is so much better than the 2023. The interior changes make it a top pick for sure. I ordered a 2024 as soon as I could last April and it came in 4 short weeks. Love it so much. Super nice with the m sport package added and 22 inch black wheels. The new interior sold me over the Mercedes GLE. It has been perfection since day one.
Hubby and I are looking at the 2024 BMW X5 too…..the price tho 😅
But we want to build more equity in our Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid before we bite the bullet and make a trade.
What's the best in 2024? X6 or MB GLc - GLE?
@@borghorsa1902 My vote would be the X6…probably my next car.
2024 GLE! Just bought one!
You guys unanimously picked the QX60 over the MDX in one of your reviews. Why didn't it even make the list? 🤔
I just posted a similar comment. I believe it was the addition of the Type-S to the lineup that swayed them to the MDX.
I drove them both and picked the MDX. The QX60 is better for someone looking for a more trucky SUV, and MDX is more car-like. I liked the interior and infotainment system in the QX60 better. But the final decision came down to Acura's superior reliability. Even though I hate the infotainment system. Just sucks.
Infiniti no longer makes decent cars
Totally not related to this but will you ever get to review the 2023 lexus gx b4 the 2024 gx coming with the turbo?
In a few weeks, stay tuned.
No the outgoing model is not available to us to review, we'll be focusing on the new one which we will be driving at the end of January.
I bought Infiniti QX60 yesterday after watching your mdx vs QX60 video. I'm sad it wasn't on this list. I feel like I've been mislead by you guys feeling sorry for the underdog😢
Wow good luck my friend you just bought yourself a money pit even a x5 nowadays is way better than a Qx trust me
Hi Jack and Andrea! Happy new year 🥂! I have a 2022 VW Taos 4 motion. I had ordered it from my dealer back in early 2022 (3 months production wait time). Been driving it for almost 2 yrs and really like it. I’ve seen the new 2024 Cadillac XT4 Luxury trim model and find it great looking but also very interesting for what it offers for its price. It’s so comfortable on so many levels. What are your thoughts on it compared to my Taos? Good future trade idea or, stay with the Taos? My Taos is a lease, therefore; eventually I will have to decide to either trade or buy it back.
MDX is the best choice hands down.
Maintenance on a Acura car is always at lease $600.00 plus each time you take it in.
Where i s the Jaguar F Pace that you liked so much in your review?
So the MDX track pad is a deal breaker and the Lexus is stolen to often in Ontario that insurance is insane on them. Does that make the Infiniti QX60 the only real Japanese option??? No one is buying a German car, they only lease them. 70% of German sales are leases. Do I have any other options????? Genesis doesn't sound like a good idea either.
Have you thought about a certified German car? I bought my 2021 X5 in 2022, it was just a year old and with the certified coverage, it's under warranty until Dec 2025 with UNLIMITED mileage. With it being used (felt new), I've already paid it off and have no worries for almost another 2 years.
Wait for 25 mdx. They are getting rid of the track pad.
I (and Im sure Mazda) am surprised that the CX90 doesn't even get an honorable mention, especially since you did include the outdated Acura and Q7.
Would have loved to see how the Genesis GV80 stacked up to these other luxury SUV’s.
I recently added a 2024 GLE450, to my list of cars, which also includes a 2022 E450 All-Terrain Wagon. The key to Mercedes long-term ownership, is to not go crazy with adding a ton of electro-mechanical doo-dads into the options list (typically done by leasors), but on the contrary, aggressively edit out as much of the electronic doo-dads as possible.
Skip the Airmatic suspension, skip the E-ABC suspension, stick to the standard selective-damping double-wishbone suspension, skip the soft closing doors etc. All of these listed on the "skip" list are potential future expensive trouble-spots that you do NOT want. If you are leasing, then go right ahead and go crazy with these options, but God help the person who buys this car when this lease is returned. My All-Terrain wagon comes standard with the Airmatic, but I wish it did not, even though the reliability till date has been pristine, but it is still young at 32,000 miles.
The key to LONG term Mercedes ownership, is to stick to the basic GLE450, add in the Panoramic moonroof (drastically alters the interior ambience), the brown walnut wood, the acoustic package with the thicker glass/windshield, the higher-end Burmeister sound system and be done.
Based on my experience with my prior ML320 that went 245K completely trouble-free miles till it was donated, the configuration above, will last for a million miles with no issues whatsoever. The basic Mercedes drive-train, including the AWD system, and the basic Mercedes suspension are bullet-proof, and that's exactly what you have here.
PS: The GLE350 has a lower-end AWD system, when compared to the AWD system in the GLE450 and above. Essentially the GLE350 has a simple 50/50 viscous coupler and open diff, that splits power 50/50 and uses the vehicle braking for torque transfer, while the GLE450 and above, have a much more sophisticated rear- biased AWD system that can do 0/100 or 100/0 power transfer.
I actually like the Acura touchpad. Easy to use and not having a touch screen keeps it clean
MDX is the most bang for buck in the luxury midsize segment. Exterior looks are a major plus as well.
I would love to have a discussion with you about Acura’s touch pads. But I don’t want or need another message app . First time I’ve heard of the Telegram app.
I bought a '24 MDX Spec two weeks ago and the touchpad is absolutely fine. Super easy to operate after ac couple of weeks@@fredjemal3689
I wonder why the new Mazda CX90 didn't make your list? We opted for the 2024 Acura MDX ASpec. GREAT car! Enjoying it a lot. Fun to drive and an awesome sound system. Sporty as heck too!
Because it's not a "luxury" vehicle. I have a cx-9 Carbon. Most everyone who has gotten in initially says "This is too nice to be a Mazda". I sat in the CX-90 during a service visit. The interior was even better, except for the new stupid BMW ish shifter
Mazda CX-90 is 3 row, all the ones reviewed in this video are 2 row.
@@johnbowden3537The MDX, Q7, and XC90 are all three row. The X5 and GLE have a three row option.
Please tell me if GLE is such an unreliable vehicle or it may be OK in the end.
Happy new year!
Excellent video! You guys are spot on with the top list: I love the Porsche turbo gt and really appreciate your mention about Range Rover reliability. Thanks 🙏
Any chance we’ll get a top 5 of the full-size suvs? Could be a combo since there isn’t nearly as many..
Why no TX as it is bigger than RX?
Hey Zach and Andrea, got one small suggestion for you, when you talk specs, please, PLEASE add those onto a screen as you do with price and fuel consumption data 😊 love your channel and the content!
We do. Watch again.
We do include fuel economy and pricing as you mentioned but not the powertrain specs.
Hmm, I mean the info about an engine on the screen. I rewatched it again and still couldn't find it, I'm talking about horse power, torque, displacement and whatnot. You talk about it - yes, but it'd be nice if at the same time this data is visualized
Happy New Year Andrea and Zack. Great to see you again
Happy New Year, here's to 2024!
2024 I Take the BMW X5... the UDM. (smile)
A & Z, What's Your Opinion on the XC60 Recharge Polestar?🧐 Just curious 😊? Good, Bad, indifferent ❤😊?
The XC60 Recharge is well done, it has a refined drive, quiet cabin, an upscale interior and it has some good range. However, reliability isn't the best.
@@andreaspencer9813 Thank You ☺️
2023 J D Power US vehicle survey: Volvo is below average, yes (16% worse than the industry average), but let’s be fair, better than VW (apologies Zack), Audi (apologies Zack), Mercedes, and Tesla. And Porsche has only 3% better reliability, a wash.
I have 24,000 miles of Recharge experience, no drivetrain issues. Software issues yes . . . but not that unusual for ANY new car.
A 1998 V70 bought new, 3 pedals, still rates a spot in the garage.
Yes Porsche loves the Porsche a la carte options too- insane margins for them !
I drove the MDX, Infiniti Qx60, X5, GLE, and Genesis Gv80 and Gv70....... I bought the RX500h.. Its a big step over the last gen, I love the quick power delivery, I love the size as its not too big and zips around town awesomely, plus the torque over 400 ft lbs, its perfect for me, passes a couple of cars in seconds.. its quick... if I wanted a larger SUV I probably would have bought the Gv80, the Gv70 was quick, but not up to par interior wise... QX60 was noisy on the road, hit bumps hard.. not refined.. the GLE too big, X5 was very nice but too big Also the GLE and X5 $$$$$$$ get very expensive up over 100k very quickly ... but also has more options etc.. For me the RX500h hit all the marks.. Its not perfect but darn near... and that sound system... WOW... Very quiet and more refined and quiet than the MDX. MDX interior did not look that nice in my opinion.. Overall I think the best value was the GV80.
2024 My Top 5 SUVs are Land Rover Defender 110 V8, Range Rover Sport, BMW X5, Jaguar F-Pace, & Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. Now Wish Me Luck on the Lottery. (smile) I Can Dream, Can't I?
This just in from car and driver: The X5 and X6, despite recent updates, were both down by double-digit percentages compared with 2022, while the X3 and X4 were down too, but by smaller margins.
Down in what? Sales?
The car you are sitting and blogging now is what make and model?
How come the cx90 didn’t even get an honorary mention?..
Great choices of top 5's and honorable mentions. Not a big fan of piano black fantastic plastics - not a fan of that haptic feedback touch panels. I'll stick w/my 2017 Audi Q7 w/buttons,control wheel & trackpad. Plus it's tuning options that unlocks the additional power that it's 3.0T is capable (especially supercharged CREC motor) - gives you enough 'oomphf' passing power when you need it that beats it's turbocharged engine upgrade from 2018 to present. All turbocharged engines produce so much unwanted heat causing more breakdown and wear, that you must do your oil changes early to keep a healthy engine and extend their longevity.
Hi, I always enjoy watching your videos they are informative and fun to watch. I like the black interior of your car can you share which car it is.
Wait! I thought you preferred the Infiniti QX60 over the Acura! I have owned he QX60 for a year. It’s perfect …I’ve put 18,000 miles on it. Mostly driving the ski resorts. Haven’t had any issues. Love the entertainment system…touch screen. That a Accura touch pad would drive me nuts
Always fun to see the lists. Could you explain mild hybrid or 48 volt hybrid compared to regular hybrids.
Curious to know, do all of these require premium fuel? (I assume BMW for sure).
So much of the purchasing decision for any of these vehicles depends on the lease rate, financing rate and residual or how much the vehicle depreciates over 3-5 years. In addition, how does maintenance cost affect your ownership experience. I love the Mercedes vehicles, and have owned 5 of them from new. However, it seemed like I could never leave the dealership for service under $1000 in Canada. For these reasons, I believe the Acura and Lexus are miles ahead of their German competitors.
True but don’t visit the dealership for out of warranty repairs 😀
Looking forward to your review of the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus. Coming soon?
Lexus all the way !
Lexus is the only one I’d consider buying. But I’d lease the BMW.
@@mervinprone Yeah, but only lease the BMW for as long as the warranty lasts, but once the warranty is gone, turn it back in

Normal Toyota CVTs have a launch gear, E-CVTs consists of a planetary gearset paired with two or three motor generators. Completely different setup.
We have had an X5 M50i and a Q7 before. Wife recently test drove the QX60 Autograph and I would pick it ahead of half of this list. The build quality and look is ahead of of most of them.
QX60 is very cheap and outdated inside, yes, it still looks more or less aggressive from the front, but everything else is just late 2010s.And lastly,it is not built good, believe me,I was working in Nissan/Infinity dealership.

@@joedementedbiden3835 I agree.. I owned 3 infinitis in the past, very reliable... but this new QX60 disappointed me when I drove one.
@@twfinc6855 absolutely not. With the RX you can tell that its a rebadged Toyota. Too many similarities unlike the Infiniti and Pathfinder.
Lastly, RX is not even in the same class. Its a class below the QX60.
Its just driving me insane by looking at the prices nowadays. I remember MDX was within 50 - 59 000 $ CAD just less than 5 years ago and it is over 100 000$ CAD now, and it`s when average person income in Canada ranges between 3000 to 5000 $/ month. I haven`t noticed my salary going up 2 times more in those 5 years, unlike car`s prices.
Great list! I looked at most of these ended up going with the Jeep Grand Cherokee limited. Dealership was able to discount MSRP alot. They also offered 5k more for my trade-in than any other dealership. Only slightly worried about reliability. Fingers crossed
I got the JGC 4XE... just be aware that you're beta-testing it for Stellantis and you won't be surprised by the amount of shop time 😂😂😂
