2021 Acura MDX. Estimated Price, Its Competitors, and More!
[Music],well hello everyone welcome to another,episode of revlog,acura is launching their brand new mdx,the mdx has been on for two decades and,they sold over a million copies,apparently the sales of the mdx,is one third of the entire acura brand,so to say that the design change is very,important,is an understatement i mean they also,claim that the,mdx is the americas most top sold,three-row luxury suv the original mdx,was,one of the first suvs to have a unibody,with three rows of seating,lets take a look at the new one and see,if itll offer us any of the excellence,from the original one,so right off the bat the base engine,will be using a two liter four cylinder,that you can find the tlx and that one,comes with 274 horsepower offered with,front wheel drive,and also an optional super handling,all-wheel drive theres rumors that mdx,will also get a type s variant,using the 3.0 liter v6 turbo from the,tlx making around 354 horsepower,the 2020 mdxs fuel economy comes in a,20 city 27 highway,so we could expect a new one to replace,it with a slightly better number,and apparently you can spec up the car,with up to 25,speakers of els goodness and i think if,you want to learn more about,what the eos sound system is like in,more technical detail,i believe savage geese has covered that,pretty well and look,glowing leds underneath the mesh metal,wow its like a party in the car the,overall design of the new mdx upcoming,now heres some teaser images from the,actrazine the forum,um i think in general acuras design is,getting refined more and more,but i still dont know what to feel,about the grill with the shooting arrows,that wants to kill you,i just think in general theyre like,really trying hard i remember when the,the newer rl first came out they had,both the dotted and the solid,form of the led lights and the,taillights and it just goes to show like,theyre just so confused and just wants,to throw everything,trying really hard and to to me i know,again i,most of you guys already probably picked,up um but i prefer more of an,understated look,thats cleaner in execution and i think,acura in general is just kind of,shooting in all different directions and,not really know where to go,but i guess um the new since the new tlx,tl tls tlx kind of wish the marketers,would,stop changing names all the time um i,think with the latest tlx they,seem to have found a pretty good,direction but you know for someone like,me i still,think the 3rd gen tl thats still the,best looking acura to me,and of course i love the the dc5 rsx so,much actually ive owned one in the past,it was kind of like my middle school,dream car but yeah i just i missed the,clean cut early 2000s,acura honda design the really chic and,simple,lines obviously its,i guess the trend nowadays have a lot of,uh broken up busy surfaces,um but yeah um well have to see one in,person to make the final judgment,and can we just talk about the sh,all-wheel drive for four minutes for,acura,or maybe some of the japanese people and,the higher executives of acura world,would call it,super handling all-wheel drive,i just you know to be honest like i its,its a pretty decent system though the,way i remember its one of the first,torque vectoring systems,i remember when the it first debuted,with the acura rl or the honda legend,um you know they were showing this like,skier go down the mountain,putting the weight on the outer foot and,that was like a really,good explanation of how torque vectoring,worked you know i instantly,built a gratification for that kind of,system you know honda in general are,really,good at engineering something super,sophisticated but making it really,simple,um but i i feel like the marketing of,super handling all wheel drive in,general is just a total failure,while still you know while being really,good i dont think it still has the same,name value as,audis quattro or super symmetrical,wheel drive system,in fact some of the german counterparts,like bmws x-drive i mean even,now the bmw the new m3 and m4,is coming with these mx-drive features,so if you want to watch that video,click on the link above um and also uh,mercedes-benz with their 4matic plus you,know you can send all the powers to the,rear wheels and,you know have a drift mode and go crazy,um you know im not suggesting that you,go and drift your,maybe close to 4 000 pounds suv three,row mdx,but im just saying um a lot of,competitors are doing a good job you,know building that,uh all-wheel drive reputation and i just,wish acuras,super handling oval drive gives a little,bit more credit i really think it,deserves that,in terms of notable competition you know,since its an,suv i mean we live in a sea of suvs,where theres just so many of them,i tried to my mom asked me to pick out,an suv for her and i was just like why,would you buy an suv but then you know i,came around to being a good son and i,started building an excel,chart of all the damn suvs available in,the market nowadays and its just,theres just so many but like i said,some notable,competitors in the market i think the,genesis gv80,is worth a look i mean look i am from,seoul,so small disclaimer but no one can deny,that the interior and the exterior,design of the gb80,i think looks even a class above the the,mdx,um you know it helps that they had some,designers that used to work at bentley,come and design for genesis you know,maybe its just my personal opinion,leave me your comments down below on,what you think about the gv80s uh design,overall,but i cant help but to feel that the,mdx is gonna have to really step it up,to compete with these cars,not to mention the ever so reliable,lexus rx,but,[Music],ill bait a bit boring um you know its,been a solid choice for many people,because of its toyota reliability,its been a solid choice for a lot of,people because of toyota reliability,and you know even from the latest acura,offerings i always feel like,alexis just has the best material,quality,especially amongst all of the asian,competitors i think another competitor,thats worth looking at for a three row,suv is the new mercedes-benz glb,coming in at 36 and 600,which is definitely a bit cheaper than,the current mdx with,at forty four thousand five hundred,dollars my guess is that the new mdx,will cost,about the same or slightly more i mean,look mercedes is just super dominant in,the,f1 world and theyve been working on,a really good four-cylinder engine,theyre one of the front-runners in,terms of using force induction to,squeeze out every single bit of,horsepower but even if its not their,handmade amg one man engine,you know their 2 liter develops 221,horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque,from 1800 rpms i mean,acuras engine is going to have to be,stellar to to compete with that,not to mention of course when you amg it,up a bit i think the car,is a good looking car even though i like,my wagons,so there you have it thats a wrap for,the new mdx that will be launching on,the october 14th on wednesday so really,soon well get to see,whats under the wraps are you a big fan,of the three-row suvs,what do you think about some of his,competitors it looks like were going to,be getting a new offering in an,ever so competitive suv landscape lets,stay tuned and for now,leave me your comments down below oh and,its a huge help for me when you press,that little,thumb icon down there yeah down there,yeah please,yeah if you can spare me a like that,would be great for the youtube,algorithms,thanks for checking in to another,episode of revlog we also do full car,reviews,so if you want to see an in-depth review,of the kia stinger check out the link,above,and ill see you in the next episode
BEST SELLER BATTLE! — 2022 Acura MDX vs. 2021 Lexus RX 350: Comparison
whats going on youtube,so for todays comparison we have two,luxury crossovers that are both,best sellers the lexus rx350 which is,the best-selling luxury crossover in,america,and the acura mdx which is the,best-selling luxury,three-row crossover since the rx is,available in both,two and three-row form and the prices,are very similar,tons of people cross-shop these two,japanese rivals,and for those of you doing just that,lets jump straight into the video,and help you see which one is the better,option,so to get things established here lets,quickly talk about the pricing and,option levels,now due to severe inventory issues all,around the country we werent able to,get the exact specs of these two we,wanted,but they are still pretty close to each,other in the grand scheme of things,and in the ways that impact the outcome,with that being said we have the fully,loaded and most expensive mdx,in the advanced trim with the extra cost,paint and the destination charge the,total rings in at,one 62 seventy five dollars the lexus on,the other hand,goes with more of an a la carte method,of equipment so its forty nine thousand,dollar starting price,quickly balloons to nearly fifty nine,thousand dollars after destination,that puts our price difference today at,3595,which we will account for later in the,value section,but lets get things going here with the,exteriors where both push,more aggressive designs than the serene,experiences behind the wheel would,suggest,the all-new acura plays it safer but it,still looks quite a bit more aggressive,than the outgoing generation,thanks to an increase in width and a,larger grille,the lexus however has really gone bold,since this generation first came out,with a very large and mean looking,spindle grille,as far as the headlights they are pretty,similar looking to each other,and the main parts are led though the,turn signal is not on the rx,additionally only the acura has led fog,lamps,moving to the side both these models are,front wheel drive based,however the mdx does a surprisingly good,job of mimicking rear drive proportions,and both of them will have 20 inch alloy,wheels,as we come around to the rear designs,they look a lot more similar to each,other than the front,the overall looks are fairly subdued and,punctuated by,dual exhaust outlets at the bottom every,lighting element of the mdx is led,where the rx is not but the rx does hide,the rear wiper for a more premium look,both models can tow when properly,equipped but the mdx can handle about a,third more weight,now checking out some of the individual,features both of their mirrors have,heating,power folding auto dimming and blind,spot monitoring with rear cross traffic,alert,in addition to bsm both also include,pretty much,every other safety system you can think,of among them are ford emergency braking,with pedestrian detection,adaptive cruise control as stop and go,lane keeping assist,rear auto braking and auto high beam,headlights,and the last thing on the outside are,the warranties which are identical,except for the lexus offering two free,maintenance visits,but anyway that concludes the outside so,now lets get to the more important,cabins before we take them out on a test,drive,so first walking up to them both have,smart entry systems and nice key fobs,you can remote start both of them but,the lexus requires a subscription,after the three year trial period,expires,opening up the doors reveals two,interiors that blend the line,between luxury and sport and design,now starting with the seats themselves,they both have memory,plus heating and ventilation however the,mdxs seats are real leather versus,leatherette on the rx,and it also has more adjustability at 16,ways versus 10.,[Music],once fully inside the cabins we can,begin to investigate the material,quality,where both impress starting out with the,new,mdx the upper dash is fully covered in a,leather-wrapped material,with layers of genuine open pore wood,piano black,and more leather below that,the lexuss cabin is also very nice with,stitched leatherette,and genuine aluminum trim including a,cool curved piece,however the overall feel is slightly,less plush than the mdx,[Music],after startup youll be greeted by two,premium and cool looking gauge clusters,the lexus uses a large display mixed,with analog elements,and the mdx is fully digital with a,unique design,plus both of them have large head up,displays,coming back to the steering wheels both,are leather wrapped,heated and power adjusting,another area of importance is interior,storage,and when you see them side by side you,can tell just how similar they are,both of them have large sensor consoles,with plenty of space,storage cubbies in the front that double,as wireless phone charging pads,and the smaller slots for loose items,next up we have the shifters which are,obviously different styles,but both still have paddle shifters and,360 degree camera systems when in,reverse,and now that brings us to the audio,systems so lets go ahead and give them,a sample,[Music],overall sound qualities are both superb,but the mdx deserves a half point for,throwing in the beautiful metal speaker,grills,now as far as climate controls both have,three zone automatic setups,and seats that automatically heat or,cool,all right so now that takes us up to the,infotainment systems,there are actually a lot of similarities,between them starting with the fact that,they are both,12.3 inch displays both also use dash,mounted touch pads to control the system,though the lexus also throws in a touch,screen which is something missing from,the mdx,as far as other features to point out,navigation is included with both models,as well as android auto and apple car,play abilities,however only the mdx can run both of,those systems,wirelessly finally to wrap up the front,of the interiors,both have auto dimming rear view mirrors,but only the acura has a panoramic,sunroof,but now lets head around to the rear,where the rest of the family will be as,far as measurements are concerned the,space is extremely similar between the,rx and the mdx in the second row,but there is something to keep in mind,with the rx,lexus makes it available in both a,regular and extended,l model and the l is the only model to,offer a third row seating,but even if that option is chosen it,still provides,less space than the mdxs standard third,row,now lets talk about the features both,of them have rear vents and usb,ports but the mdx has the leg up with,heated rear seats,and sunshades,moving out back both have hands-free,power tailgates,and once they open up the mdxs size,advantage becomes,known since it is a larger vehicle it,has about a 15 cubic foot advantage as a,maximum,even the extended l maxes out at 58,cubic feet,all right so thats going to end things,on the inside,but now lets take them out on the road,to see how they stack up,so when you start driving these two,youll notice some similarities,particularly under the hood both go with,smooth,3.5 liter naturally aspirated v6 engines,that make just slightly less than 300,horsepower,as you would expect that does mean that,both have similar acceleration numbers,theres a bit of an acceleration a,little bit foiled by the red light here,but,um you know you can already tell this,has got,plenty of power on board,all right so first accelerating here in,the 2020 lexus rx,um you can immediately tell,just right off the bat how refined this,powertrain setup is,youll probably say it many times during,this test drive but,comfort and just kind of having a,refined experience,is the focus of the rx and it continues,to be here in 2020.,as far as the rest of the powertrains,the mdx has a 10-speed automatic,transmission,compared to an 8-speed automatic in the,lexus,having more gears isnt necessarily an,advantage,and in this case the rxs transmission,does feel smoother moving through the,gears,[Music],there you go we got cleared out of some,traffic there,i got a good acceleration now lets talk,about the othe
NEW LUXURY! — 2022 Acura MDX vs. 2021 Genesis GV80: Comparison
whats going on youtube,so today what we have with us are none,other than,two of the most hotly anticipated luxury,suvs of 2021,both of which happen to just now be,hitting dealerships at the same time,im of course talking about the all-new,acura mdx,and the also all new genesis gv80,the acura has long been a top choice,among families seeking both luxury and,utility,but genesis has made a huge splash with,design and luxury that really stand out,so which of these products is the best,choice lets go ahead and find out,so to get things established here lets,quickly talk about the pricing and,option levels of these two,obviously to keep things fair we picked,models that align price-wise,though the genesis will top out higher,than the acura until that type s,comes out for now we have the fully,loaded,and most expensive mdx in the advanced,trim,with extra cost paint and the,destination charge total rings in at 62,175 dollars our genesis comes in very,close to that,when equipped in the similar name,advanced trim,after a few extra accessories paint and,destination,the price tag is sixty thousand six,hundred and forty dollars,compared to german vehicles that gives,both of them pretty reasonable price,tags,and we will account for the small price,difference later in the video during the,value section,but lets get things going here with the,exteriors where both have new,and fresh designs that dont look,anything alike,the acura plays it safer but it still,looks quite a bit more aggressive than,the outgoing generation,thanks to an increase in width and a,larger grille,the genesis on the other hand goes,bolder with an even larger grille,finished in chrome,and really cool looking split led,headlights,the mdxs lights are of course also,fully led,however one difference for the designs,is the fact that it has,led fog lights which are missing from,the gv80,moving to the side we have an,interesting thing even though the,genesis is rear-wheel drive,based and the mdx is front-wheel drive,based the acura is actually able to,mimic,rear drive proportions pretty well,thanks to the long,and low hood both also have 20-inch,alloy wheels,around back again the designs look,extremely different from each other,but as far as the actual features they,are pretty much the same,both have led tail lights and dual,exhaust outlets but the genesis can tow,about 17 percent more weight when,properly equipped now checking out some,of the individual features,both of their mirrors have heating power,folding auto dimming and blind spot,monitoring with rear cross traffic alert,in addition to bsm both also include,pretty much,every other safety system you can think,of among them are ford emergency braking,with pedestrian detection,adaptive cruise control with stop and go,lane keeping assist,rear auto braking and auto high beam,headlights,and the last thing on the outside is,that the genesis comes with the longer,overall warranty,and it also includes three years of,complementary maintenance as well,but anyway that concludes the outside so,now lets get to the more important,cabins before we take them out for a,test drive,so first walking up to them both have,smart entry systems and very nice,feeling key fobs,you will notice that there are a couple,extra buttons on the gv80s fob,and thats because it has the remote,parking system that allows it to pull,into,and out of parking spots unmanned,pulling open the doors reveals interiors,that both have really upscale designs,but delivered in totally different ways,now starting with the seats themselves,both have real leather,memory heating and ventilation however,the mdx has more power adjustability at,16 ways,versus 12.,[Music],once fully inside the cabins we can,begin to inspect the material quality,where both seriously impress,starting out with the new mdx the upper,dash is fully covered in a leatherette,material,with layers of genuine open for wood,piano black,and more leather below that,despite the giant improvement over the,old model,the gv80 will still slightly edge out,the mdx,with even more leather open pour wood,elaborate stitching details,and special touches like the glass,shifter,after startup youll see a significantly,more premium 12.3 inch gauge cluster on,the acura,which has full customizability as,opposed to the half and half setup on,this gv80,additionally it also has a very large,head up display that is missing from the,genesis,however the genesis does have a trick up,its sleeve since it has a blind view,camera system,that shows you a live feed of your blind,spot when changing lanes,coming back to the steering wheels both,are leather wrapped heated,and power adjusted,now another area of importance is,interior storage,since these are family crossovers after,all mdx has a large sensor console and,giant wireless phone charger,however the styling prevents it from,having the front bin,or sensor pass-through that the genesis,has,both models have electronic shifters of,different styles,and when in reverse both also have 360,degree camera systems,that being said only the genesis has the,ability to look around the vehicle from,a 3d perspective,and now that brings us to the console,mounted volume knobs,so lets go ahead and give the audio,systems a sample,[Music],let me just say that both of them sound,absolutely,phenomenal and to my lay ears i would,say theyre pretty much,equal and speaking of equal,they both have easy to use three zone,automatic climate control systems,alright so now that takes us up to the,infotainment systems at first glance,they seem pretty similar to each other,since,both have large screens mounted on top,of the dash,however thats only one of many elements,the gv80s display is actually a couple,inches larger,and its also a touch screen with a dash,controller as well,where the accurate requires you use,their touch pad controller exclusively,both resolutions look very crisp have,standard navigation,and apple carplay and android auto,however,only the acura has the ability to run,them wirelessly,finally to wrap up the front of the,interiors both have panoramic sunroofs,but the mdxs is more impressive since,it is made of one single piece,now heading around to the rear this is,perhaps just as important as the front,dimensionally speaking they are nearly,identical to each other,and as far as the features back here,both have different things,mdx has dedicated rear climate controls,and heated rear seats,additionally i do want to point out that,the mdx has what is known as a,multi-function middle seat,it can be a seat a sensor console with,storage or be removed completely to make,captains chairs,but now lets get to the interesting,part the third row,mdx has one and the gv80 doesnt,except on one very specific trim level,thats certainly a benefit for the,family to have the extra versatility,moving out back both have hands-free,power tailgates,and once they open up there are similar,amounts of space,for whatever reason genesis didnt,provide full measurements,however with all the seats folded it,does have more cargo space than the mbx,but as you can see its still a very,tight race so now lets take them out,for a spin,and see whos going to come out on top,so heading out onto the road both these,crossovers are luxury oriented as their,primary function,but use different means to get there,those differences start with the,engines where the mdx uses a traditional,three and a half liter naturally,aspirated v6,engine and the gv80 a two and a half,liter turbo four cylinder,both making very similar horsepower,numbers but the turbo making a,noticeable torque advantage,theres a bit of an acceleration a,little bit foiled by the red light here,but,um you know you can already tell this,has got,plenty of power on board,okay definitely not bad not bad at all,so were in the 2.5 turbo engine this is,the,base engine offered on the gv80 um,you know this comes at a really nice,price point so i think a lot of you guys,are going to choose this,yeah if youre wondering
2022 Acura MDX vs 2021 BMW x5, Audi Q7 & Lexus RX 350L Comparison Review
[Music],so,[Music],now the audi q7 here is a solid choice,its had some recent design updates to,the front and rear,and i do like the larger grille it has a,nice hood and body line,but overall id say the q7 styling is,far from groundbreaking,on the inside youll find a modern and,straightforward cabin with premium,materials and nice touches like these,wood inlays,the 8-way power seats are a little on,the firm side but they are comfortable,and they come heated which is also a,plus the dual touch screen displays are,well placed but they could be a little,distracting when driving and it turns,out,theyre pretty good at collecting,fingerprints now three rows do come,standard in the q7 but passengers in the,third row,better be petite and flexible and when,it comes to safety and driver assistance,features on the q7,you will find a few but for helpful,innovations like adaptive cruise control,and lane keeping assist,youll have to add an additional package,now on the performance front,the q7 is capable but with the 45 tfsi,trim,youll get much less horsepower than the,mdx and while,you can always upgrade the audi to the,55 tfsi trim for more power,thatll also increase the suvs weight,limiting that agility and sporty feel on,the road,the q7 also comes with an 8-speed,transmission versus the smooth shifting,10 speed of the mdx,and while the audi does come with,different driving modes you cant create,a custom driving mode like you can on,the mdx with the integrated dynamic,system,so who comes out on top the q7 is,stylish but far from groundbreaking,the completely redesigned mdx is sporty,and aggressive from front,to rear the q7 also lacks that spirited,performance of the mdx,so its an obvious answer to me the mdx,is the better choice,just check out this chart,[Music],[Applause],[Music],[Applause],[Music],ive got to say the bmw x5 here is,pretty attractive,its had a fairly recent refresh making,it look sportier and more aggressive,the standard led headlights are stylish,and it has some nice body lines as well,the cabin in the x5 is modern and,minimalistic with a nice digital dash,and display,and no complaints about these heated,front seats though leather is just an,option,and by the way if you want that third,row seating youll have to upgrade,when it comes to safety and driver,assistance features the x5 does have,some that come standard,but helpful innovations like adaptive,cruise control and lane keeping assist,will cost you extra now the x5 does have,some performance chops,i mean its a bmw after all this suv,handles well,and has more horsepower than the mdx but,the x5 also weighs significantly more,than the mdx,and because of that extra weight it,lacks a sporty agility or experience in,the acura,the x5 also has an 8-speed transmission,versus a smooth,shifting 10 speed of the mdx and while,the x5 does come with three different,driving modes you cant create a custom,drive mode like you can with the,integrated dynamic system on the mdx,so who comes out on top well as we know,the x5 is stylish and has a lot of good,things going for it but,once that third row seating youre gonna,have to pay for it its missing those,driver and passenger features that,youre really gonna enjoy on the mdx,and its lacking the spirited driving,performance of the acura,so to me the obvious answer is the mdx,but check it out yourself with this,[Music],chart,[Music],[Applause],[Music],[Applause],[Music],and the lexus rx350l is certainly a bold,choice,with its oversized grille and aggressive,creases,up front youve got standard led,headlights and you cannot frame more,expensive triple beam version,either way they nicely complement the,vehicles sharp edges and body lines,the latest rx 350l sits on 18-inch,wheels but you can always pay extra if,you want to go bigger,and if you want a moonroof that will,also cost you,now inside the rx350l the cabin is,modern and nicely arranged,theres a standard 8 inch display or you,can upgrade to the 12.3 inch display,like this one the 8-way power front,seats are comfortable but youll have to,upgrade to get heated seats and memory,settings,three rows do come standard in the,rx350l,but thanks to that sloping roof line in,limited space,passengers in that third row should be,either kids or smaller adults,and when it comes to safety and driver,assistance features you will find some,on the lexus,but helpful innovations like traffic jam,assist and road departure mitigation,are not available the new acura mdx,is absolutely stunning youll notice,that the suv has a wider front profile,giving it a more athletic and aggressive,stance from the side you can also see,that the hood is longer and more,muscular,while the cabin has been pushed back for,a sportier look,and its now sitting on larger and wider,alloy wheels that increases road contact,for more connected handling,the powerful new styling begins with the,boulder diamond pentagon grille in a,sculpted front bumper that wraps into,the fog lights,four lamp jewel eye leds with new acura,signature chicane daytime running lights,flow from the grill to the expansive,hood,the main character line then draws your,eyes down the body of the suv and over,the strong shoulders to the rear,where youll again find chicane led tail,lights matching the style up front,while exposed dual exhaust outlets cap,off the new look,and just wait till you see the inside,the mdx interior has been dramatically,redesigned,its modern and stylish beautifully,crafted and packed with the latest tech,to keep,you and your passengers connected youll,immediately notice how spacious,it is inside thanks to the wider body,theres more legroom in all three rows,and more headroom for front and third,row occupants compared to the previous,mdx,and its just gorgeous in here,especially with that available real wood,and metal trim,plus theres contrast stitching,throughout the entire interior,friends even the speaker girls are,impressive and impressive doesnt even,begin to describe these heated front,sport seats,theyre incredibly comfortable and can,be power adjusted up to 16 ways,theyre also available in full grain,milano leather with the option to be,ventilated,and of course you have a beautiful,leather wrapped steering wheel with,helpful controls at your fingertips,including amazon alexa,hey alexa whats the weather like,currently,in california city its 77 degrees,fahrenheit with mostly cloudy skies,and because the acura mdx is a true,drivers suv,there are paddle shifters for manual,control theres also a striking new,digital instrument cluster in the mdx,that displays,everything from speed limit information,to driver assistant features,you can choose between different gauge,layouts and link your preferred settings,to your key,available head up display can also,protect key vehicle information and,alerts right onto the lower windshield,and you cant miss the new 12.3 inch hd,center display which is easy to access,with acuras true touchpad interface,whatever you touch on the touchpad,corresponds to the screen so you can,navigate and keep your eyes on the road,the center console is also smartly,designed with plenty of useful space for,small objects like your smartphone which,by the way you can charge wirelessly,you can also use wireless apple carplay,and wireless android auto integration,without plugging your phone in,now ive got a question for you do you,want a great audio system,well ive got some good news in the mdx,you can opt for the els studio,3d premium audio system with up to 16,speakers throughout the suv,including in the ceiling for an,incredibly immersive experience,its almost like being in a music studio,and the immersion continues with the,available customizable cabin lighting,system,with up to 27 different lighting themes,based on iconic drives from around the,world,and while youre driving everyone can,stay connected in the mdx thanks to,mobile wi-fi capability,there are also plenty of usb ports and,plugs available for charging throughout,the suv,including the th

2022 Acura MDX vs 2021 Lincoln Aviator, tough choice…
[Music],[Music],[Music],[Music],[Music],[Music],so,[Music],[Music],hello everyone this is sam carleige and,welcome back to another video welcome,back to another,comparison today were going to compare,the new 2022 acura mdx,and of course were going to compare it,against its competitor which is the,lincoln aviator,now the lincoln aviator returned into,the market a couple of years ago,this year we have the 2021 model which,is technically very much the same as the,previous generation,actually its very much the same as the,first generation that came,out recently that has received a new,design new chassis new platform,new interior a lot of new features and,it is very different from the old,generation,and if you dont believe me you can,watch my video comparison the old acura,mdx versus the new one,you can find that link in the,description box but for today,were going to compare these two and,find out which one is the best out of,these,two vehicles two three row suv,specifically luxury three row suvs,special thanks for this video goes to a,good friend at performance acura north,mississauga for allowing me,to borrow the mdx again and dont forget,im going to compare it against all its,competitors from,the cadillac xc6 genesis gv80,and the rest of them to find out if the,mdx can go up against its current,competitors,now one thing you need to know about,performance accurate north mississauga,theyre an accurate dealership located,in mississauga ontario canada and most,importantly,this video is not sponsored in any way,by this dealership or,any other dealership for that matter my,videos do not get sponsored by,dealerships at this point if time comes,i will definitely let you know but i,want to have the most,unbiased and professional opinion this,is the goal,for this video so lets start first,with the lincoln aviator what does the,lincoln aviator,offer that makes it so special and why,does it cost more,than the mdx and then were going to,talk about the mdx what does it offer,how do these two compare is it better,than the aviator which one should you,buy,thats the goal and then were going to,take it on the road for a test drive,and show you everything you need to know,about both vehicles,so first of all lets start with the,lincoln aviator so,why should you buy the aviator over that,here are a few things you need to know,if you like spicier model,if you like a bit more horsepower the,aviator here under the hood uses a v6,twin turbo engine makes close to 400,horsepower,now that is the model we have todays,video then you have the next one which,of course,is the aviator plug-in hybrid which,makes,more horsepower it comes with an,electric motor the next thing you need,to know,is the fact that the aviator can tow,more compared to the acura mdx so for,example the,v6 under the hood for the mdx can tow up,to 5000 pounds with the,right setup and of course thats for the,all-wheel drive system the lincoln,aviator,tows a bit more than that thats because,it offers a bigger engine,the next thing you need to know is that,the acura mdx in the future will be,available,as a type ass model which means it was,going to make more horsepower,compared to the standard one which uses,a v6 engine that is the first v6 engine,used in the mdx,it is paired with a 10-speed automatic,transmission,and most important is that the type,passer will receive a v6 engine but its,also,turbocharged which will make more,horsepower which also means well offer,better towing capacity,compared to the lincoln but at this,point out of this too the lincoln,is of course the winner in terms of the,towing capacity now five thousand pounds,is still a lot for a three row suv,so the difference is about 1500 pounds,or so,compared to the lincoln now the next,thing you need to know is the fact that,the lincoln aviator with the higher trim,package,offers air suspension system and the way,the air suspension system works is that,based on the cameras located in the,front it detects the roads,in imperfections and based on that it,levels the vehicle so that way,you can get the best and most,comfortable ride,it literally calculates about 500 times,a second or so,that way it avoids a hard bumps on the,road so that way,it gives you a perfect ride compared to,the,mdx which offers a standard suspension,system,of course with some adjustability now,the model we have todays video is,actually,not the fully loaded and it doesnt,offer an air ride suspension system,were not talking about that right,once we take them on the road the next,thing you need to know is that the,lincoln aviator,it uses soft closing options so,that way you dont actually have to slam,the doors it closes softly and that of,course,is for all the doors and most,importantly,the aviator does offer a plug-in hybrid,which means,in ontario and in some states in the us,or provinces in canada,youre able to qualify for green plates,green plates are important because you,get to use,of course the uh hov lanes,with the mdx we dont have any hybrids,at the moment,the hybrid version of this basically,works with the electric motors it gives,you about,29 30 kilometers on a single charge,which is not,a lot but then it recharges itself as,youre driving so that way,compensates and and gives you better,range but out of these two,the lincoln aviator will be an absolute,guzzler,that is for sure because a bigger engine,makes more horsepower and its also,heavier compared to the mdx now lets go,to the back,the next thing you need to know is that,both vehicles offer power liftgate with,the option to kick underneath,and then basically open the tailgate and,you can close it the same way in both,models,what you need to know about the lincoln,aviator with the air suspension system,it offers an option where it lowers the,back side so that way you have easy,access,to the cargo space pretty smart,and most importantly what i love about,the lincoln that,unfortunately i said in the previous,video in the the uh,mdx that i did that acura failed with,that feature is the fact that it didnt,offer,any control unit for the seats in the,back so that way you can actually,fold the seats in front the second row,and the third row so that way its easy,action from here you dont have to go,around the vehicle,to open the to fold in the seats,in terms of seating capacity both offer,six to seven seats in this case we have,two captain chairs,for the uh lincoln aviator on top of,that the aviator in the center offers,two buttons in here for the actual sun,shade so you can close it open so you,have easy access,the climate unit is the same in both,vehicles they both have heated seats in,the back,they both offer the option to control,the audio system radio and so on,from the rear end the next thing you,need to know is that in the lincoln,aviator the doors,actually dont have any proper handle to,open it from inside you have a button,located into the side,that could be a negative thing or,positive things that means if it breaks,down more often you have to change the,whole thing,thats the one disadvantage but the,advantage of it is that,it opens pretty quickly and easy access,so even for seniors for example its,very comfortable you just press the,button,and it will open the door automatically,it doesnt necessarily open the door,fully but it unlocks it,now in terms of sunshade both have the,sun shade on the side,now let me show you a couple of cool,things that you get in the aviator in,the front that youre missing,in the mdx the next thing to love about,the lincoln aviators of course,the seats in the front specifically it,offers up to,35 ways of adjusting it,probably the most advanced seats on a,three row suv,in my opinion as you can see theyre,actually on the side so theyre kind of,like,similar to the mercedes uh vehicles,which is offered on the door panel,instead of,the actual seat underneath so you can,see you can adjust pretty much the,headrest,you have the leg extenders in the front,and so on so you have over,30 ways to adjust t
