In my humble opinion, Genesis is the only good luxury brand from Asia currently. The only thing their higher-end luxury cars lack is the performance department compared to the Germans, but I am sure they will surpass or match them once their Magma series of cars launch, no questions asked.

The weight was a little bit of factor, but is countered by more hp and tq... shown by the roll races being just about dead even. The real difference here is in the gearing,10spd vs 8spd. You can especially hear this when showing the inside video of the MDX. The 1st and 2nd gears of the MDX (similar to my wife's '19 Pilot Elite awd) are unusually short, compared to other similar vehicles. This is mainly why, even with less tq, the MDX scoots away from the GV80. Enjoy the content and LOVE my '21 MYP🤙

[@jefferybaxter1225]

Hi Sam. Glad this challenge took place between the Acura MDX Type S and the Genesis GV80. Our request was granted. Also, I'm glad that SUV challenges are taking place more often. It should due to the fact that since 2018, overall SUV sales are more than car sales. Despite having a pinch less horsepower and pound feet of torque, the MDX Type S had the advantage due to the fact that it's 209 pounds lighter than the GV80. In addition to that the MDX has quicker shifting and two more speeds which is 10 compared to 8 for the GV80. At some point in the coming months it would be nice to see a three way challenge between these two vehicles and the Jeep Grand Cherokee L with the 5.7 V8 engine. The performance numbers for that engine is 357 horsepower along with 390 pound feet of torque. Those numbers are definitely in line with the performance numbers from the MDX Type S and the Genesis GV80. It would be a very interesting challenge if it takes place.

[@TheChismFamily]

How about the Q7? We all know the X5 will lay waste to all these cars the Audi should be a good match for the Type S.

[@jefferybaxter1225]

@@TheChismFamily Well, as for the Audi Q7 the standard engine is a 2.0 liter four cylinder turbo producing 261 horsepower. That engine is on the base Premium 45 trim. That model Q7 would not be ok for a challenge. However, the model Q7 that would perform well in a challenge will be the Prestige 55 trim. That model comes equipped with a 3.0 liter V6 turbo engine producing 335 horsepower along with 369 pound feet of torque. As for the BMW X5 the standard engine is a 3.0 liter inline 6 cylinder engine producing 335 horsepower along with 330 poind feet of torque which comes on the x40i model. This model would compete with the other vehicles mentioned. The BMW X5 with the V8 engine would easily win. The M50i model comes equipped with a twin turbo 4.4 liter V8 engine producing 523 horsepower along with 553 pound feet of torque. The BMW X5M comes with the same engine, but as for the horsepower it's an even 600 along with 553 pound feet of torque. It wouldn't be fair if these two BMW X5 models entered the challenge with the other vehicles. The BMW X5 with the standard inline 6 engine would be the one for this challenge so that things would be fair.

Decent points.

isn't the GV80 the car that tiger woods drove and survived crashing into a tree?

[@nabeelahmad978]

So which one was more fuel efficient in the testing ?

[@jsfbay1]

Can you move your finish-line camera to be right on the 1/4 mile mark, rather than offset a bit before the finish? That way the photo-finish is more accurate.

Turn up those sweet beats please! Came for the comparison, stayed for the music.

[@acuras4ever]

Power to Weight is the most important factor in drag races no matter the cars

[@downsouthlouisiana]

Genesis has more power and torque so it's a wash. I think the difference is the tranny.

[@sjohnson7879]

I'll take the Acura hands down. Beautiful SUV and performance oriented, a true masterpiece

[@ContentinMesa]

Gv70 vs max type s would be awesome. From a dig it might be closer than we think

[@deesr.6641]

when can we see Mdx type S versus X5 or GLE450

[@JT-fq2bl]

Just as I expected. The GV80 has a weight disadvantage of 200+ pounds, and the transmission 1st gear ratio is not low and sporty enough to take the MDX on. The GV80 mission is pretty cruising the streets and looking good, but a speed & road carving demon it is not. You're better off buying the GV60 & GV70 for speed and handling.

[@kromahj]

Another excuse. Just accept the lost 😂😂😂

[@TheKasai23]

@@kromahj the genesis won in two of the three roll races is it really a loss?

[@JT-fq2bl]

@@kromahj Who said I was making excuses? I already accepted the GV80 lost like how accepted the TLX lost to a 4 year old G70.

[@TheBreakfastLover]

the GV80 has a power-to-weight advantage over the MDX Type S. The Acura was better engineered and overcame that deficit.

The province really needs to ditch the front plate requirement. Such a shame to cover up such beautiful grills with a gross licence plate.

Nah the RX gets mopped of the floor by the MDX and gv80 and the RX isn’t even on sale yet 😂 Seriously don’t waste your time with the RX. Pick either the MDX or gv80 and be done w it The RX isn’t as fast or as dynamic to drive or as luxurious or comfortable as these two

The gv80 and MDX are the only truly competitive Asian midsize luxury SUVs. Not even the 2023 Lexus RX can compete. Both of them wipe the RX off the floor inside outside and under the hood period full stop no ifs ands or buts

Makes sense since the gv80 weighs 200 more

[@alexferrara9287]

Both are great SUV’s in their respective segment. Overall, the Genesis has a better looking interior/exterior but, the Acura is no slouch. That said, Acura needs to step up their infotainment system. As for the performance, both are great for what they are and I’m impressed by the results of the Acura.

[@jasonsong86]

8 speed vs 10 speed. The 10 speed has very short first 3 gears before hitting 60.

Wow I am shocked on this channel that Hyundai would have beat a Lamborghini urus, I can't believe he let that happen.

[@ranmas2004]

Not shocked at all from the dig. I knew the Type S would win that from the reviews I've seen on both cars. The GV80 is also heavier. The 375hp and 390tq rating on thw GV80 is over stated.....car doesnt feel like 391 tq at all.

[@fiveminutewatchreviews4197]

Please adjust the music volume as compared to the voice, the music is often too loud and we can’t hear you really well.

[@samerrasheed]

Genesis and hyundai cars have slouch transmissions always that are turned more towards smoothness and comfort rather than performance, I'm sure the weakness point is the transmission

[@theofficialquent3488]

False, the luxury trims are tuned to be smooth, put the MDX up against a Genesis sport, it’ll lose.

[@wrzl1675]

It’s a race, who cares about mpg, sounds like an excuse to me.

Fun and interesting race and matchup. Would love to see GV70 3.5 Sport prestige against either the G80 3.5T or G70 3.3T sport prestige of those two models for a little sibling rivalry for the New Year matchups.

Pretty impressive that the GV80 was able to keep up like this considering how new they are to the mainstream market. I would have to pick the GV80, cant beat the price especially for how much luxury you're getting.
