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.

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.

[@rickcino7751]

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.

[@belleridg7495]

I like your guys reviews, some of the best I have seen on KZbin - 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...

[@Chislim80]

Agree - I have a Type S advanced... could have that and an extra RDX for the prices of some of the others.

[@user-oy1yx7vk2b]

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!!!!"

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.

[@Windsofchange2023]

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.

[@senorgato70]

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).

[@user-oy1yx7vk2b]

Me too! I bought an MDX Spec due to value for the money over the BMW X5 MSport

[@simonisdanilo3950]

Hi guys, watch your channel and enjoy it tremendously, wealth of knowledge and common sense. A have a question for you as experts and long time PC owners. I currently drive MY 22 Macan GTS loaded and love this SUV. Need a bit bigger car/ I am 6.3/220/ and torn between 24 Cayenne S vs 24 SQ8, similar engine, size and manufacturing. Priority ride quality, prestige,driver seat comfort. Love both exteriors, absolutely hate PC gear shifter and stupid rails.Please advice,regards Alex P.S. I live in Fl, therefore AWD system quality not critical.

[@stevennevins6643]

I bought a MDX Advance on New Year’s Eve. Was interested in a new RX 350, but dealers in the DFW area are gouging customers. The MDX was discounted $4500. I thought I was going to hate the True Touch Interface, but got comfortable with it quickly. Of course, I wish they could transplant the new RX’s infotainment screen into it. Everything else about the vehicle is great. Then again, I may be a bit biased. This MDX is my 5th Acura. Owned a 91 Integra, 2002 and 2006 TLs, and a 2010 MDX.

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.

[@thurstn967]

NX been cheaper model.

[@BocaAtractivo82]

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.

[@michaelstrauss2447]

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....

[@joedementedbiden3835]

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.

When a PHEV battery is “depleted” it’s still a hybrid. Today Mar 18, did a 207 mile round trip with my “41mile” battery. With the “battery hold” button pushed about ten times I saved the battery for the slower parts of the trip (but I could have been more efficient as I had 9 battery miles remaining at the end). My mpg was 47.

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 like the GLE for best pampering. The exterior look pretty dated though. The Cayenne that you’re sitting in looks like it has a huge seat hinge in the middle of the 2nd row. Is that vehicle really comfortable for 5? I’ve never ridden or even sat in one. I did sit in the MDX at the dealer and I was wholly unimpressed. Maybe I would’ve liked it more if I’d driven it. Since I didn’t care for the interior space and amount of room afforded in either of the first two rows I didn’t take it out for a spin. The rear of the X5 was less comfortable to me than the X3. The Lexus interiors are too milquetoast for me. I would only take a JLR vehicle as a rental where I knew I would be able to give it back. We look forward to these convos. Please keep them coming 🤙

That Audi Q7 looks like a car from 2010. I would not have had that on my honorable mentions.

[@theschrom]

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.

[@cyvrpilot21]

What makes a brand Luxury vs Mainline?

[@Fnorden]

I cringe at the prices. I'll wait and buy used

[@woodpecker6452]

You made a mistake on the MPG on the hybrid BMW

A & Z, What's Your Opinion on the XC60 Recharge Polestar?🧐 Just curious 😊? Good, Bad, indifferent ❤😊?

[@andreaspencer9813]

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.

[@stephenwierzbicki4463]

@@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.

[@jjoselow]

Haha not a bad list. But my favorite part is watching her do her Jeff Gordon impression through the neighborhoods lol.

[@benhaze1010]

Well I think the Q7 is till it for me; especially before Audi finally refreshes it because just like other brands Audi is now a big fan of black shiny plastics...

[@stephaniemazzarelli5522]

The GLE has a roomy back seat, very comfortable for those with long legs.

[@peterwmunro]

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.

[@ceramicmagic4169]

True but don’t visit the dealership for out of warranty repairs 😀

[@MechayaAlta]

Which category is a Subaru Outback in, it’s own?

[@mattj1141]

The car you are sitting and blogging now is what make and model?

[@tomdrummy4984]

Does the Lexus RX ecvt have a launch gear……like Toyota? Thank you ! 🙂

[@wyw201]

Normal Toyota CVTs have a launch gear, E-CVTs consists of a planetary gearset paired with two or three motor generators. Completely different setup.

[@joedementedbiden3835]

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.

[@s.patterson5698]

Since i plan to keep my vehicle over 5 years, I went MDX.

[@simonisdanilo3950]

Good choice

[@RajaSekar-USA]

How about the maintenance cost of bmw x5. How about the reliability?

[@keska01]

When you buy this car you don’t worry about these things, swipe the card 😊

[@JinNani224]

The increased price for a PHEV is ridiculous and you will never break even

[@billurban1581]

Some people appreciate the 70 to 80% lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to the average new ICE powered car (ref: fuel economy.gov). My 455 HP! Volvo emits 99 grams per mile vs 319 for the av new ICE. Then there’s the 100+ mpg . . . Don’t forget about preconditioning the cabin with electric, while plugged in, before you go outside. I love that.

[@gabrielrogers2971]

I loveeeee the new rx it’s gorgeous ! And well it’s a Lexus ❤

[@ZeeMan84]

Are you going 3 row luxury SUVs?

[@altisamuels8694]

Happy guys, I think the Q7 is better than the Acura and GLE.

[@fredjemal3689]

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.

[@fredjemal3689]

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.

[@user-oy1yx7vk2b]

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

[@ejohnson3131]

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.

[@AleckoG]

You guys unanimously picked the QX60 over the MDX in one of your reviews. Why didn't it even make the list? 🤔

[@senorgato70]

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.

[@joehanbury1135]

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.

Black electrical tape can solve the shiny piano black plastic. Glue grey twine to mimic carbon fiber.

[@normt430]

Did Buick outsell Acura for the year again?

[@ejeoifoiae99823-eoji]

I just bought 2024 Cayenne last month. I hate that small gear selector, shifter or whatever you call it.

[@TheRedskinsnews1]

I actually love the track pad!! Very easy to use. I was skeptical… but have gotten use to it. However…. If a model comes with touch screen we would bump up.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thanks for sharing, we hear this often.

[@ph1785]

I bought new Porsche 2024 base model , its a beautiful car , over priced have to admit, but the fit and finish and quality of material is a 10 , the base v6 has plenty of power, the car handles excellent. The ride is little on firm side , it also depends what size of the wheels you get . The car comes 20" wheel s but you can get 22" that i got on mine. The car is very quiet on the road, it should be for price. The Porsche Cayenne saved Porsche manufacturer, its truly a very nice machine.

[@Motormouth...]

Couldn't agree more!

[@slices6500]

If you are looking for a Porsche Cayenne, I would search for a Gen.3 version with low miles. I purchased a 2019 base model with 37k mi. here in AZ for $58k in mint condition. With a trade-in of my Infiniti G37 convertible it was a net $35k deal. Porsche quality and performance is unquestionable, and no need to spend $100k for a Cayenne.
