So 2024 MDX high performance Type S vs an actual 2024 X5 only base model, the X5 is a lot faster. Keep in mind this is Acuras top performance model. This is BMw’s base. BMW has the X5M60 and the X5M. Both of those are in another league. X5 base is easily tunable to 500hp plus with ease. Acura is capped out at 380 with tune. Acuras isssue is bottlenecked in the small head ports. Heads will need to be changed to gain more power. ECU is locked to 6k rpm max. Acura is a great driving vehicle. Don’t expect to tune it for more power. Plus its transmission is weak. Lots of issues.

Tune won’t get you much power. They chose small port heads to get instant power at low rpm for instant gratification for best daily. Huge problem is tuning. You need to change the heads to large port and change manifold and turbo. About 20k job. Then the big problem is TCU is locked down and won’t rev past 6k rpm. You also can’t drive in manual as it will upshift at 6k. Plus its transmission is plagued with issues. Also its max torque is 340 pounds. I researched it all. I wanted one, but decided to go a different route now. Great vehicles if you leave them stock. Superb daily car and SUV’s. Too much money if you want true performance though.

The apparent lack of sound insulation in the MDX is glaring. Was the Acura really that much louder inside, or was the mic set up different in the MDX than in the Audi and the BMW? I'm impressed by the MDX in all other ways, but if the interior noise is that bad, it's a deal breaker.

Why wouldn’t you take an Audi or BMW from Germany? Or even a CX90 Turbo S despite it being Japanese?😂 I like the Acura but just curious.. I’d rather the Germans

@@christianbryant5617 because with Acura you get the best of both worlds, performance and reliability

WoW...Acura did well. BMW - It's just something else. Audi Q8 - Two things, lazy gear box and it's on the list of the 6000lbs cars. Check the tax credit and you'll see.

Hi Sam. This was a good drag and roll race between these three SUVs. Overall, the Acura MDX Type S performed well. Even though it has more horsepower and torque than the BMW X5, the X5 had the advantage due to the fact that the pound feet of torque for it gets achieved at lower RPMs. The 330 pound feet of torque gets achieved quickly at just 1,500 RPMs. That's the difference right there. As for the Audi Q8 S Line, from my view the exhaust sounded better for it than the other two vehicles. Unfortunately, that's where the fun stops for it though. In a upcoming drag & roll race video it would be nice to see the Jeep Grand Cherokee L with the 5.7 liter V8 engine go up against these three vehicles from this video. Also, to go up against the Genesis GV80 and Ford Explorer ST. The performance numbers for the Jeep Grand Cherokee L with the V8 engine produces 357 horsepower and 390 pound feet of torque. Nice competitive numbers. That's the vehicle I have.

Check his channel. Both the GV80 and the ST made an appearance against the MDX. The CGL 5.7L is heavy and slow. That should change once they put their new inline 6 from the Wagoneer.

@chiemekaa I've seen the video couple weeks ago you're referring to between the Genesis GV80, Acura MDX Type S and Ford Explorer ST. I saw that video already. The Ford Explorer ST won that challenge. That was a very interesting challenge. The Jeep Grand Cherokee L with the 5.7 liter V8 engine is not slow. Nope. It has the competitive numbers to challenge the Genesis GV80, Acura MDX Type S, BMW X5 shown in this video, Audi Q8 S Line shown in this video and the Ford Explorer ST. It's not going to beat all five of those vehicles. It will not. However, it'll beat either two or three of them though. One way to test out the performance is to race it against the five vehicles I mentioned. Simple as that.

Dude there's a Q8 that parks outside my job everyday so im excited to see what its got!

Turns out not that much haha. Whoever owns it has the same color and in person it looks really nice and fresh for a modern car entering this awkward "psuedo-electric design" language that a lot of cars are adopting now. Good races!

Base model petrol German SUVs vs the fastest Japanese SUV...

I hear you. The worst side effect of COVID is the addition of drivers who really shouldn't be driving. Definitely the decelerate in the acceleration lane crowd.

I’m very surprised at the Acura’s performance.

I used to have an MDX Type S, and for that price I rather go with the X3M evern with 2 rows seat

we need to see mdx type s VS durango RT

The only BMW to rein supreme over Acura in performance AND reliability.

You should do an x5 50i vs an x5 40 I and that DMX

Watching the Ford exploerer st smoke the mdx before watching this video makes it that much better.

Ktune the Acura with some breathing mods then it would be untouchable

No it won’t. You clearly don’t know about these new J30 engines. They have small port heads and small Turbo. That makes max power at low rpm and is limited to 6k rpm max. This makes for a perfect daily driver with power in the whole rev range. Instant gratification. Now the problem is tuning. ECU and TCU is locked and limited to 6Krpm. You will need to upgrade heads and have them opened up and ported, add a large port manifold, along with bigger turbo. Easy 20k job and your warranty is done. Half the engine has to come apart. Now the bigger problem. Transmission is max torque to 340 pounds. It’s also max range is 6k rpm. A bigger turbo will make huge power from 4500rpm to 7500, but won’t go past 6k. Now you see the problem. This is why you don’t see these all modded. I build cars for a living. Acura did this to save the 10 speed from blowing up. They chose in house 10 speed for cost and availability. It’s not a performance transmission. They learned the hard way with Honda minivan with J35 and 10 speeds blowing up under high rpm’s. Research is your best friend. This is why many TLX and MDX Type S owners are upset with Acura.

Also keep in mind, a Ktuner will give max 20 hp. It will also void warranty when the transmission blows. Many transmissions are having issues. This is why you see many of them for sale. Many trade them in for BMW or Audi if they want performance and reliability.

@@stevenfarley4738 I should have worded that differently. For 2024 the 375hp is close to the actual power it makes, as they added a mild hybrid system which not only boosted the power but also aids in fuel efficiency. BMW always underrates their hp figures, so this new one is probably making 420hp

I didn’t expect the MDX would be that close to the BMW. Both suv are very nice cars but to be a smart buyer, and the car that last longer and cost less than BMW, I w would have to spend my money on the MDX

After having to change the brake master cylinder in a 2013 X5 with only 60k miles, I doubt I'll get another beamer. I have been looking at the MDX for a while now.

The newer model just advertises crank hp while this one advertised wheel hp. It's not a noticable difference it's just because they added a mild hybrid for start stop so ofc they had to update the numbers
