2016 Lexus RX 350 vs Lincoln MKX vs Volvo XC60 T6 Drag Race & Mega Mashup Review

[@johnk12345100]

I went with the Lincoln! So much power and comfort, Really no touchscreen Lexus?DOA As far as drag race, whoever was driving the Lincoln did not know how to drive! I've got 6.3 on my 2.7 Turbo zero to 60, blows that Volvo off the road L.

[@ImStormX1]

absolutely correct 👌👍

[@tomtalker2000]

You have to understand there test was done at elevation. So ALL 3 SUV's are going to be slower when your above sea level. On flat ground as i'm sure your test was completely different story. And YES i totally agree with you about Lincolns. Since i own a 2015 MKC AWD 2.0 and find it to be the best vehicle i've ever owned. Plenty of power and space for my needs.

[@Packer1290]

True..... 7.64 0-60? I'm guessing something was broken. I own one as well and no way. Plus there's not a single magazine or test where it's run more than a 7 second 0-60. Motortrend has it at 6.4. Car and Driver got a 6.0. You only have to look at the power numbers. Makes 33 more HP and 85 more lb*ft of trq than that Volvo.

[@85MasterV]

The Lincoln is definitely the fastest 0-60 according to Car&Driver AND MotorTrend, I don't know if the did an actual torque braked launch or stop and go..

[@gaphoogys]

lincoln interior + volvo engine + lexus exterior = great midsize car...too bad you can't get everything you want

[@mattdellaquila5545]

After watching this video I had a thought about why the Lexus stopped quicker…So I asked a buddy of mine who sells for Lexus, does the F-Sport version of the RX 350 come with upgraded brakes…sure enough, along with an upgraded suspension, it does! If this were a realistic test with the common seller (non F-Sport RX 350), the volvo would have killed it, like it did with the 0-60.

[@jaffarbaqi]

Lincoln made a true luxury crossover that rides better and quieter with massaging seats and I vote for it.

[@rezazolfaghari6520]

Lincoln has the lowest resale value

[@rickymac54321]

Lincoln has the worst reliability so...

[@1guyin10]

Ricardo 里卡多 Actually according to the various surveys the Volvo is likely to have the worst reliability, although none of them are likely to have any significant issues.

[@Curryolla]

I test drove and looked at the Linclon MKX, Lexus RX, but not the Volvo XC60. I did look at the Volvo XC90. In the end, I put an order for a 2016 Lexus RX 450h with Luxury Package! Really excited!

[@garrettm7993]

I love my Lincoln MKX reserve, I have the 3.7 and it’s enough for me. No issues with it yet, drives super smooth and has a very quiet interior.

[@tomtalker2000]

They are GREAT vehicles. Ford and Lincoln have come A LONG LONG way in terms of reliable nice looking vehicles. I own a 2015 Lincoln MKC 2.0 AWD and it's by far the best vehicle i've ever owned. I think my next will be a 2019 Ford Explorer Platinum with the ecoboost V6. That should be extra fun...!!!

[@franciscorivera541]

Lincoln 😍

[@deemm1265]

Lexus all the way, 1st, 2nd and 3rd...Luxury buyers in this segment are not going to care about 0-60 etc. and where from stop light to stop light? let's be real, these CUVs are driven on a daily basis and no one can match the reliability and comfort of the Lexus.

[@85MasterV]

These guys even said the interior was nicer and quieter in the Lincoln.. I think if comfort is your primary, Lincoln is better. If standing out is, get the Lexus.

[@oldtwins]

Lexus would be ahead if it were at sea level. High elevation is not kind to normally aspirated engines. Lost about 20% of its rated power. The other two turbo vehicles hardly loss any in comparison, just slower spool up than if it were sea level, translating to minimal losses in acceleration. Just the way forced induction works.

[@adams1696]

Xc60 still has faster 0-60 than rx at sea level. But the rx would definitely beat the Lincoln

[@NetITGeeks]

Buy a Lexus, you will have very few breakdowns. Buy anything else, spend more time driving rental vehicles from the dealership while your SUV is getting the much needed repairs!

[@Chitwn81]

I'll take the Lincoln anyday....test drove one and it was a beast with that 2.7 ecoboost. Also saw it in the Black Label with the Thoroughbred interior palatte. Yessir! Welcome back Lincoln!

[@roguedogx]

I would have gone for the lincoln. that is until I saw the price, and then the volvo looked really good.

[@markacamacho]

I choose the Lincoln because room plays a big part when it comes to having kids in the car and if the breaks were that big of a deal I would switch them out. I think the Lincoln has the better interior. But i do love the other two also.

Lexus looks badass ! Best looking one of the bunch. You dont see the RX in that red paint finish alot. Looks great.

[@rahulmandala4930]

Sylvio Fleurant in your dreams pal

[@777Outrigger]

Nathan's right. The XC60 is very sporty to drive, and since the 2015.5 mid-year upgrade, it has torque vectoring. It will flat take a hard turn, for an SUV. And with European-style suspension, it has great high speed driving dynamics too. And if you've never had a serious back injury, like me, you probably can't appreciate the orthopedically designed seats. I can drive for hours in my XC60, and my back never hurts, even when I get out of the car. Not even true for the chairs in my den. However, three great cars. A tie was well deserved by all three.

Damn that Lexus looks pretty good in red! Just the right shade too, not too bright, not too dark! And of course, the vehicle is much more interesting to look at than the other two.

[@777lukasz9]

Lexus RX is probably the most durable and easiest to maintain of all of them.

[@jupiter22177]

no probably about it, that v6 in the lexus is an 3asy 300,000-500000 mile engine and the most reliable v6 currently on the market. turbo and supercharged engines kill longevity due to the high temps and pressure they force the engine to operate in. no contest...the lexus by 10 country miles.

[@gasolara2002]

The Lexus was best to me just because it is just right for me. The durability and high resale value is a big deal too.

I'm sorry but you guys must be smoking some hella strong stuff to ever think that Volvo would outrun the new MKX. With a price tag of over $65K, obviously it had the EcoBoost engine... so again it lost how? oh I remember. you dipsticks always test vehicles way above sea level and on unlevel surfaces... I'm truly disappointed and feel an unsubcription coming on. PS... I'm sure all the vehicles you test would be faster without 300+ pound test drivers...

[@Packer1290]

Something wrong with your Lincoln. Car and Driver got a 6 flat 0-60 time on an AWD version. I own one. 7.64 seconds is ridiculous. That means it’s about as fast as my V6 2003 Honda accord I used to own. No way.

Pls get the XC90 T8!!!!

So here's the deal: for $60K, you can have a well equipped Volvo XC90 that will blow all of these away in every category! How about 7 seater with super modern and expansive interior (tons of cargo room) yet drives tight like these smaller suv's. Oh, and engine is the same as this XC60 but with a tad more power, and still excellent fuel economy. Volvo has excellent discounts at this time; I've recently seen 2017 XC90 R-Designs (sport package) priced at

[@petejr7583]

I meant 2016's on the lot

[@davids1816]

What is also surprising is that the 90 is built with so much light weight steel that it's barely more than 100 lbs heavier than the 60, which is a much older design. So acceleration shouldn't feel radically different.

[@Jeff-or6em]

Pete Jr wait until next fall when the all new redesign 2018 Volvo XC60 come out with front lights like the Volvo XC90 has now.

[@KevinSmith-qi5yn]

I like the Volvo the most because it has a super and turbo charger. Still one thing that is becoming clearer with this generation of cars is that US companies have nicer interiors outside of luxury brands like Bentley.

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

Dear TFL, Doing an in-depth comparative test of several competing vehicles is a great idea. However, the points system may require some refining. The 1-2-3 method isn't sufficiently nuanced to reflect varying degrees of separation. Perhaps points out of 10 would provide more emphasis. An In-depth Real Car Guy

[@jamescrick4561]

Y’all are so wrong! I did a drag in mine and hit 6.7 and I get a solid 20/21 on mileage not to mention my Revel 19 speaker stereo and I stop on a dime from 60! Not to mention the interior blows both other vehicles away! 1) Lincoln 2) Lexus 3) Volvo 😂

[@michaelduong3852]

Kenny M I dont think that they had aero dynamic in their mind when designing... they were trying to focus on younger audiences rather the older ones which is why they went for sharper looks... and i have seen a lot of them on the road and they look very nice... and i still dont understand your logic with the prius... the prius looks like a normal car while the rx350 looks much more appealing and aggressive.... i dont understand how you are saying that they look the same...

We had 5 Toyota cars during last 11 years, and I think they are too optimistic about Mpg - it's always +1 or more l per 100km more that they say, always! Rav4 (2010, 4-cylinder) was 13-14 l/100km, Highlander AWD V6 2016 - 13.5/100km in average (9.5-10 on long highway trips).

[@28cjohns]

Gents......great video comparison, I drove em all, plus the Jag F-Pace. Everyone of them does pretty much everything super good, and some points a bit better than the others, the Mark Levinson stereo in the Lexus is superb, Lincoln interior amazing, and Volvo just a darn good deal (although I'm baffled on the 0 to 60 thing, as my seat test says Lincoln faster than the Volvo and so does most other sites).......however, don't take this the wrong way, but neither of you guys are slender lads. There is no way you can sit in the F-Sport bolstered seats without the ridiculously hard ridges digging into your hamstrings. Those seats are a problem, and you ain't doing 300 miles in them without feeling like a worn out rag. Plus the "regular" Lexus is the same rig as the F-sport engine wise anyway......so the run of the mill RX 350 is just as good, with way better seats. The Jag F-Pace though......what a great drive, they need to catch up a bit in the interior game, but killer good vehicle too. Ironically, we bought the MKX, the 22 way massaging seats and the pull of that turbo did it. And the black velvet exterior with 21's and the interior is terracotta leather. Lets see if Ford can keep it as good as I hope........

[@FiredEmpire]

Why is it that only the Lexus RX has a license plate put on the front? Anyway I like the Lexus best and then the Lincoln. The Volvo's mediocre European design doesn't convey any premium feel at all imo...it just looks dated and bland.

[@EsenbekAliev_]

[@mahindramungara6643]

I'm 100% sure the breaking calculation methodology is wrong, considering all cars here did 0-60MPH in different times. There are so many human errors that could happen in this measurement.

[@jrfinch1778]

Anti-Lincoln bias is evident in their numbers. Their 0-60 time was over a second too high, and the braking was off as well. I could tell the guy liked the Volvo. I don't think this was non-biased at all.

why would you pay 65k for an old lady lincoln title. lexus is way more reliable and holds its value great. my mother recently got the base lexus rx 350 and it basically has all the thing lincoln would have for 44k

[@mrjixk]

The Lexus will last longer than both of them. The Lincoln stop-start system is defective and the dual super-turbo charging of the Volvo runs into problems later down the road.

[@jeffgendron1959]

That is a bogus braking comparison. Your flooring each vehicle and then instantly braking just as you reach 60mph. With those digital speedometers you could have been doing anywhere from 55-65mph without knowing when you hit the brakes because those speedometers had not leveled off. Plus the human brain will not brake at the exact place at pylons each time with all that action happening as you reach speed right at the pylons, would only take a few mph more or less to make 5 feet difference and a few milliseconds of you braking late to also add another 5 feet. BOGUS TEST!

[@practicalguy973]

+Audioholic 01 just the speed alone make it a bad inaccurate way to test. 60mph = 88 feet per second. Means that if the driver pressed the brake with only 1/10th of a second difference it would be 8.8 feet off in the results.
