RDX driver: “let’s fold the mirrors to help me win”
Hahahahaha 😆
@@ebonix33 STOOPID!! LMAO!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aerodynamics !!
😂 😛
The RDX did well enough for a 2.0T…
Love this! Kinda bummed we had to bounce before you shot this Sam, but damn that GV70 can move. Great video, the sheer joy of everyone on camera was a delight.
Why did she just launch the Audi better than him? 😂😂
Because he refuses to use launch control on any car
I'm betting on the GV70
The G70 looks great with that color, beautiful!
Don't forget White and matt green. Simply beautiful.
GV70 is clearly the ugliest suv in this line up.
@@bkelly7386 OK.....
@@bkelly7386 and what car do you drive?
@ amd1055tify RX350, RDX and Acura TL, so I know all about great looking cars.
That GV70 is sick! So debating trading in my Stinger. Awesome vid!
The Stinger's motor is absolutely incredible! It's being proven to hold a lot of power in the aftermarket.
Do it
The GV80 will be able to do the same mods pretty soon, get the GV70👍
Save and invest 🤡
Im trading my stinger for a GV70
. Already ordered mine but wait time are between 4-8month in Canada!
I dont understand why you are posting the clips of bad launches. You have the cars, make every clip as equal as possible. The girl launched the audi better than you.
One of the worst car reviewers. Would try to race a manual vs automatic and shift like shit. The straight pipes, Carwow, and throttle house is much much better
makes no sense. This guy has awful drag racing videos always messing up and not trying to do better
GV70 is impressive, as is the new 3.5t. From what I’ve seen it also delivers on the quality and luxury front. Well done, Genesis.
GV70 needs to have the 5.0L 429 HP V8 engine from the Hyundai Equuis....
@@applepoop10 Or at least the rumored 3.5TT 430hp version rumored for the G80 Sport which, unfortunately, did not make its debut on the recently unveiled G80 Sport.
Wow so they picked an engine 100 more Hp than the RDX. Showing Acura hate again
@rahimi4762 you might have missed the part where they said the Acura was tuned. It's still lacking in HP but not as much as you state
We've been waiting for this forever and you delivered. Thank you 😊
Even when the flagman tried to take the show, the audi’s owner was one of the best expressions so far lol “oh my god! X3”
The gv70 is definitely my next vehicle
I need to buy Sam CarLegion T-shirt, hat or something, you are becoming more popular than Motor Trend and Car & Driver!?! I’ve owned 8 different Cars, most from your channel, and I just now got a New Audi SQ5 due to this video. 😂 these car companies should endorse your channel. Thanks again Sam!
hey Sam i just want to say thank you soooooo much i set a reminder for your video on the trackhawk&bmwX5M . im sooooo happy thank you soooo much i appreciate it i cant wait to watch it i luv the channel congrats on all ur subscribers keep up the vids they r awesome👌💯💯💯🙏🙌
I have been waiting for this one, very exciting.
Man you drag race everyday and still cant get right 🤣😂🤣 the lady needs to drive for you 😂
Genesis looks awesome and drives even better
No V8 option.
@@applepoop10 yes, but V6 Turbo drive faster and consume a lot less than V8
Definitely was messy! Can’t believe the driver from the genesis pulled out the driver from the RDX and start beating the guy!!! Then the Audi driver helps out too .. OMG 😱 best race yet!! 🐐
My vote is with the GV70 as long as it is the 3.5TT model. If so the real competition for it is the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, BMW X3 and Mercedes GLC 43.
Wow.I have a 2020 AWD Stinger and can tell you thet these KIA Twin Turbo engines are no joke.On paper the GV70 weighs a lot--but like my 3.3TT the torque is there from down low and once the 2 turbos get going these vehicles reallly fly.I will be looking in this segment in 2 yeras--I want to sit higher while having good performance and would be curious to see how an explorer ST does.Biggest factor also for me is the 10 year warranty--if you barter enough they will put that warranty on the whole car for free.I also have drag videos on here and my Stinger went 3-0 and every car i raced had 500 HP plus including 2 muscle cars/trucks that had 600 Hp plus.Reliability has been flawless for over a year and the interior of my Stinger is on par with the Honda crosstour I traded it in on which is fine by me.BTW there are ZERO gaps in the interior of the stinger--i test drove a charger 2020 SRT that was close to 55k and there were slight mismatches on parts of the interior.Also the AWD is fantastic--i drive Audis as rentals a lot and the Stingers AWD is definetly as good as a new A6 and is more performance oriented--I would say it is 95% of an RS5 at less then half the price.
BTW an SQ5 is no joke ether--in sport those are very fast so I am surprised the GV70 was that much faster.
@@khronin Your AWD of course can beat RWD muscle cars. You should race M340i or C43, both will smoke you for sure.
@@khronin it’s about 65% of an RS5 at half the price
But Hyundai will never compete with the likes of these brands with heritage.. no matter what they try to do to catch up or make themselves looks original, “Genesis” will never be a true luxury brand. And for you to say that this is above an Audi in any sense is hilarious😂 a base model Audi A3 is 10X the car..
The GV70 is just stunning. It looks way better than the other 2 and has more character and style.
yea right it’s 🤮
Talk to a mechanic
@@robertknight9506 it's cheaper and way easier to repair than an Audi :)
@@moktafizaman9077 he’s obviously not a mechanic lol
Neither are you lol
I’m an Audi person, but I honestly didn’t know the Genesis was that quick. It’s crazy that with every gear change, you can actually see the gap get wider and wider.👏🏾
Love It, have any more on SQ5?
Great video. I love all 3 SUV's. I have a 21 RDX A SPEC. Can you tell what us what the owner of the RDX did for his tune? I would love to know. I want to tune mine too. Acura definitely needs to make a Type S in RDX...
Ktuner is what you need
I most certainly can’t wait to see this matchup. I’ll be watching with a bias towards the GV70
We both
Both
@hon solo manufacturers estimates, maybe, but not in this race, it wasn’t.
@hon solo I understand and realize it’s just for entertainment and to get a baseline of each vehicles performance, but the GV70 still won the demonstration/race and take that Lol
@hon solo she looked pretty good to me driving and she drove nice as well 😉
WoooooooooooooW 😍
Unbelievable to see gv70 among the race, that what i was waiting for.
Genesis is my favorite ♥️♥️
Wow that was interesting...so there is enough room to do a 3 way drag. 😈😈😈😈 I love how the Genesis looks
Definitely
The genesis gv70 and the sq5 are my favorites
Awesome video Sam!!
Way to go Genesis!🤙👍👍👍🏆
I was impressed at how well the RDX launched ahead of the other two even though they pulled ahead. To educate the moronic comments about how the RDX loosing... the RDX is not direct competition to the SQ5 or GV70TT in either price/segment since it's $20000-$30000 CAD less than the other two. The direct comparison would be against 4 banger turbos like the Audi S5, BMW X3, etc. The tune for the RDX is pretty cheap & easy power since the Ktuner can be purchased for around $600-$650 and is a simple ECU flash with no additional modifications required to air intake or exhaust.
Just watched the entire video, Sam states the RDX makes 350-360 hp but that's not true, he probably mis-spoke since it makes around 315hp with the stage 2 ktuner ECU flash.
Bro a single Ecu tune on that Audi and it’s game over for everyone
@@sharktin240 "Bro".. if you pulled your head out of your butt and read what I stated, the RDX is not in the same segment as these two price wise.. so yeah a "tuned" SQ5 would be even more quicker. However a new BMW X3 M40i will murder the GV70TT and SQ5 and you wouldn't have to pay $1800 for real exhaust outlets unlike what Audi upcharges.
That said, I'm sure the RDX owner knew what the outcome would be so props to him for volunteering to bring his RDX. From the initial launch, that little turbo 2.0 is impressive with a simple ECU tune with no other modifications.
@@jayc8456 you need to pull your head out of your crap and accept the Honda lost like there’s no tomorrow. EVERYTIME Honda loses u fan boys need to say stuff like a tuned this a tuned that. Like no at the end of the day the owner is the one who wanted to be involved in this race and got smacked up. Just like how the VW GLI who is a compact sedan with less HP smacked up the accord 2.0 10 speed that’s more expensive and on a different segment of cars and all you heard is excuses.
@@sharktin240 who said I'm a Honda fanboy? Lmao... simply trying to provide rational analysis on the subject however you sir just continue to talk out of your butt when facts are stated. Sometimes it's impossible to rationalize with the irrational minded ones like yourself. Have a great day!!
@@jayc8456 You stated no facts. U stated the most ridiculous opinion that says I’m surprised how the RDX jumped. Even tho watching the race the RDX was always busses behind. As mentioned, you Honda fan boys try to insult, and cut any corner in any argument to try and make the other person look bad. Ain’t happening here. The only irrational thing here was your ridiculous logic
8:06 “that means I’m heat soaking” wtf 😂 you must have been heat soaking the whole time lol
I got the 2.5 GV70 two months ago. I live high in the Rocky Mountains and the Genesis is just a dream. Great in the snow and I can pass slow moving vehicles easily. Just a fun, fun car! Solid and quiet.
Sam it's not more expensive then the SQ5. If you'll get the SQ5 with all the packages that the GV70 comes with you will spend 81240$. And still the GV70 is a nicer 🚗.
Genesis , Kia, and Hyndae are dominating the competition
@Abubakar Abdullahi LOL! Honda? The American/Mexican (Japanese pretend) company?
@Abubakar Abdullahi are you feeling ok? They are blowing them out the damn water.
Nice race!. When can I see the ecoboost mustang smash the GLI I have been waiting hehe. and the accord vs TLX TYPE S
The RDX needs a type S, Genesis is killing it, did Audi performance competitor in this class in.
@@billygarrick4811 Well, l in this channel the RDX beat the Q5, it is safe to assume that an RDX Type S would even thing up with the SQ5. Maybe not the Genesis.
The RDX type S would be a very attractive competition in its class.
Acura really needs an RDX Type S, that GV70 is impressive
You obviously havent seen any Type S reviews
Its all a marketing scam from Acura
The Type S cars havent beaten anyone yet
@@joecool9739 I’ll do you one better, I’ve driven a Type S from Acura and no it isn’t a marketing scam. You simply can’t judge an entire Type S lineup because one car is behind its competitors in a straight line. What I will say is watch out for the upcoming MDX Type S, it will be a game changer especially at its price point.
@@drivescene6747 How will the MDX Type S be a game changer? The TLX Type S didn't do squat.
@@MercOne the MDX Type S and the TLX Type S compete in two different segments, so it doesn’t matter what the TLX Type S did or didn’t do, that has nothing to do with the MDX Type S. With all the tech and features that’s in the MDX Type S, it’s near impossible to find similar tech, features and performance on a whole at that price point. All will be revealed by around end of month.
@@drivescene6747 It won’t even out perform anything with that weak 355hp in a heavier vehicle than the TLX. It’s performance won’t be anything special. It’s a classic case of paying less and getting less.
Love the racing videos
How come this guys always gets the weight of the vehicles wrong. Before it was the mustang now its the Audi SQ5. Those Audi's are 4300-4400 lbs. No way they are 4079 lbs unless they removed the entire back seats.
He must of been drinking when editing the video.
GV70 was amazing! Wow! My wife has the Audi Q5 but the S line. I have a G70 did you race those?
It's a nice comparison even though Acura RDX is not on the level, a RDX Type S would be very nice if Acura had one, what I'll like to see a comparison of GV70, GLC 43 and X3 M40i.
Yes, call Acura and tell them that and they will tell you, you are crazy.
@WingManDK Not really. The only car in the lineup without a type s model Is the rdx. Even the electric suv is getting a type s.
Great video 👍🏾 I’m glad I’d purchased the GV70
congratulation 🎊 👍
Salutations
Is this fair comparison? 375hp vs 314hp?? 3.5v6 vs. 2.0 v4???
you know it's not, I know it's not, the fanbois are commenting. Sad.
Gv70 looking like 👍🏾 a good lease option for me next and exhaust sounds amazing
I can’t tell but are you guys using launch control?
The Acura did very good for being 4 cyl but still it’s going to need more stuff to keep up with turbocharged 6 cyl, where is the RDX type S Acura ? 🥴😂
That was a tuned RDX too. The stock would have faired even worse.
An RDX Type S would have lost too because the TLX Type S is significantly slower than the 3.3T G70 and this GV70 has the more powerful 3.5T engine.
@@RunUp4U yes, the single turbo Type-S is sort of joke these tests.
@@normt430 I'd take any acura product over anything german any day
@@elianmorales4855 that was the case a decade or so ago, not so today. The Japanese as whole have skated along the last decade riding fanboys like yourself.
Today the EV future on thr horizon they are behind again!
How about a stock 2019 acura rdx vs 2018 alfa romeo stelvio vs 2021 kia sportage 2.5 T 0-60 race and a quarter mile ? Wouldn't that be very close ?
Acura needs a Type S RDX for its next gen. I understand they go for handling and reliability not just raw power But we would all like for them to do more in regards to power.
Oh for the first time we had a lady racer I LOVED IT.
Please invite more ladies if you can thanks
Down bad
Hey when you line up all the cars on the 1st race u need to start in SPORT OR SPORT PLUS BECAUSE after a few runs the cars will have really bad HEAT SOAKING ISSUES..best performance is 1st and 2nd runs
What were the times? Just curious
Acura has gotten way too relaxed over the years. They need to be careful and start bringing back their "A" game again.
For a 4cy turbo up against a 6 cy turbo it didn’t do too bad
I have a ‘23 RDX and love it. However, I feel like the MDX with the 3.0 liter twin turbo option would have been a better comparison for this video. Not sure if that was available two years ago.
Can you also provide horsepower per ton? That would help better imo
KIA,Hyundai and Genesis doing big thing’s
That GV70 looks absolutely gorgeous. It turns head anywhere you go wow
Give that RDX a Type S! I know they will next generation
The flag guy noticed too, perfect launch on the last drag 👏🏾
@9:08 - WOW ! 😃 on the 4th run those SUV’s were “neck & neck” !
When I saw the car that Sam is driven, I already know what car is going to lose 🤭
OMG... was that GV70 tunned?? i cant believe that GV70 beats SQ5...
honda in house 10 speeds is good, but when come to high hp and torque performance it cuts power between multiple gears change. Wow! that RDX first gear is aggressive 💥🔥
I was waiting for GV70 to come out, but it was taking too long, so I purchased SQ5 in March this year. Well...
Nice format having a Instagram model involved in a three-way Race.
Nice video but I agree with previous comments let’s get a 2022 Volvo XC 60 with Polestar tune in there. I’m pretty sure it beats the Audi and gives the genesis a very good race especially off the line.
I think the Audi will most likely take the win... GV70 gets my heart
Well by the video Genesis won
@@cortezmiller1899 yep, didnt expect that. GV70 is a beast
That woman looks like weighs 100 lbs too, weight advantage to the SQ5..
@@rockefelleragent1357 they don’t know how to launch the Audi, that’s why it lost
Did you all use the launch control with the Genesis?
Yes we all used launch control for all the races
How does the Honda 2.0 compete with the genesis 3.3?
It doesn’t
Can anyone please tel if there's an engine issue when the Gv70 downshifted
What is the name of that song in the beginning?
Can you do 2015 passat tsi vs bmw 320i
6:45 my reaction to the race 😭🤣🤣🤣
Want more subscribers? Stop with the 2 min commercials in the middle of your videos! Was just about to hit ***SUBSCRIBE*** until the VPN infomercial hit. Other than that, not a bad video. P.S. the girl rocked the launches WAY better than you boys did. Would like to see her in the GV70 and launch it.
Those shifts on that GV70 look harsh.
Thank hyundai for forcing car makers not to be able to sell u a name brand only
I'd challenge the SQ5 being cheaper in Canada. Adding carbon inlay, park assist, and HUD which would bring the SQ5 in line with Sport Plus trim puts the SQ5 over $76k (Genesis pricing is all in so the price quoted is everything less taxes), I didn't include the sport differential upgrade to the SQ5 ($3600) although the GV70 does have limited slip differential at this trim level, extending the warranty and service to match the Genesis 5 year plan and the gap increases a bit more. Not a significant difference but I think calling them the same price would be a fair comparison. I have a GV70 and I'll be honest, I thought the SQ5 would beat it given the hype from other reviewers feeling the GV70 still couldn't match the SQ5 for the price. Also, the review didn't mention if launch mode in the SQ5 and GV70 was used?
This is my SQ5 and it has the carbon inlays, red brakes (which cost more) Technik package and all. Came to about $75K
Audi quattro any day..
Hey team,
Thx for the review - Well done!!
The GV70 offers a wide variety of modes for the driver to enjoy.
As I approach 60 yrs old (and I'm a bit of a car guy) I totally love the luxury & comfort side of vehicles BUT also what to turn it up when I can. This GV70 3.5TT should really be about $20-$50K higher priced. It simply does everything really well and is 2nd to none is this segment when it comes to ride quality, comfortness, quietness all while surrounding the occupants with massive luxury features.
It is called the baby Bentayga for many reasons. It is so quiet & refined when you want it to be - When you're stuck in traffic or going no where fast. My wife asked me if it was an EV as it was so quiet. Those double paned windows really make a huge difference. Plus the massaging seat is nice!!
When you want to drive spiritedly switch it into Sports + mode and you easily hear the roar of the engine and the sweet exhaust notes while enjoying the rear wheel driving bias sporty experience.
In comparison, the RDX A Spec it an excellent top rated vehicle but that engine is super noisy vs the GV70 and its a much more stiffer ride. Plus I wasn't impressed with the 0-60 time of 6.4 seconds to the GV 70's of 5.7 (4.9 seconds in the V-6). And the RDX weighs 450 lbs less.
Its the luxury components/options, higher tech, standard features & options, the ride quality (can be extremely quiet & smooth AND aggressive and sweet exhaust notes) that makes this GV 70 THE clear winner in segment.
Overall the CLEAR winner for me the is the GV70 3.5TT in Sport trim level. I'll take it in that Gorgeous Mauna Red exterior colour with 2 tone interior combination please:-)
In Canada that full load price is $76,500 plus taxes. The F&PDI is included in that price. No discounts from that at all.
The electrified version is coming out in 2023 but in Canada the top trim level will be about $25K-$35K higher cost to the ICE version. Besides its NO Gas requirement the EV version is a littler quicker with 0-60 times 4.3 to 4.6 seconds. For me I'd put down my deposit yesterday if the EV version had a time in the 3.5 second range. It will have a 500 kms range on a full charge.
PS - Lots of dealer problems with Genesis in the States. Here in Vancouver No problems at all. I have 3 dealers within 40 minutes and the nearest is 15 mins away.
Cheers all!!
The Acuras launch was pretty good
But that Genesis just be reelin folks in lol
Phenomenal sir!
Genesis are really stepping it up. I'd take the GV over the Audi any day. I traded my 2016 Accord Coupe V6 Touring for a 2019 G80 Sport. Love it
I used to feel the same, but not so sure anymore. I feel like they overcharge based on their warranty. This genesis loaded, is more expensive than the sq5
@@-.__.__.-Rad Yes, but I think the Genesis looks better and has a better chance to last longer and be more reliable than the Audi
@@-.__.__.-Rad it’s a better car so it makes sense it costs more. Have you sat inside the two cars side by side. I never gave genesis an eye until I decided to drive one myself. And I must say I checked my bias. However the dealership experience is what prevented me from buying one. I don’t like to be in the same dealership as a Hyundai Sonata.
@@Blue-moon12 u would take a g70 over a Rs5??? A car that’s better in every way…
@@djzulumask2138 One is a car and one is an SUV so apples and pears really.
id be interested to see what that rdx would be like with full bolt ons, a type r turbo, and the tune
My guess is Acura will release a type s for the RDX since the TLX and MDX already have it
What is that gv70 rear number plate?
Looks like arabic
I recently sold my MS and got a GV70 2.5T. I forgot what luxury felt like. I do miss the speed, but the feel of Napa leather giving me a massage, is something Tesla can't replicate. They know software, but those engineers aren't grasping what luxury is supposed to feel like.
Wish we could also see a tuned RDX. Believe people are flashing these with Ktuner V2s
Thats a tuned RDX
@@SamCarLegion cool!
@@SamCarLegion I hope you share what tune in the video. Will be an interesting race if it is the stage 3 level that’s around 300 whp. Another interesting one would be the CTR turbo swap.
@@SamCarLegion that's a mild tune
The type R turbo swap is gonna poop on these thing for 2k... the type R stage 2 is leaving these in the dust
Not to mention the the gv70 is rolling on 21in wheels
It makes sense for the cars to heatsoak but that applies to all the cars in the video, GV70 was quickest regardless but even if it wasn't and the sole reason for the GV70 to win was the "heatsoak" then we can conclude that the GV70 has much better cooling by not getting heatsoacked after back to back launches.
GV70 cooling system design is top notch. Probably less heat soak than the others. Had 5 back to back dyno pulls, with hood closed and no fan airflow. All results where within 2-3 hp and torque of each other. Smaller turbos and less boost help generate less heat as well. The GV70 probably only gets up to 12psi of boost stock.
Im a Acura/Honda Fan but dang the GV70 is a bargin! My wife is looking for a new mini suv so well see which one she likes
rdx has the least hp. how can you compare?
If Maximum Verstappen, Sergio Perez, and Red Bull-Honda win the 2021 World Driver’s and Constructor’s Championship, then I will buy an Acura RDX and sell my Merc.
GV70 nailed it.. Wow, I'm so impressed..❤❤🥳🔥💯
This should be a big wake-up call to manufacturers making boring ugly vehicles (cough Toyota) that people want stylish powerful, not crazy, bit powerful vehicles that don't cost an arm and a leg and are reliable.
One time for the Genesis family💪🏾
Thanks Sam for the amazing experience, maybe we can do it again with some more upgrades.
🤣🤣🤣😈
Definitely
Chris, what tune were you using? I gather it was something along the lines of stage 2 from ktuner? I could never get it to launch well with a lot of hesitation from a standstill. How did you launch yours? Thanks
Chris.. did you happen to check at what speed the SQ5 and GV70 started to pull on you? I was impressed at how hard your RDX launched ahead of them initially.
@@333KINGPIN33
Hey brother,
It's just Ktuner stage 2 OTS.
But it has a update for the launch control.
@@jayc8456
Probably around 130ish
RDX did well for just a base stage 2.... stage 3 / custom tune with intake and downpipe would boogy
A drag race has NOTHING to do with whether or not a car is the right one to buy. It is a ridiculous assessment. I tested the regular RDX and thought it was loud, heavy on the front wheel bias and funky in terms of the controls. The GV70 is an excellent car (at least from a test drive situation), but the 3.5 was too brutish. I did wind up with a SQ5 and am happy with the choice. If I had gotten a GV70 I would have opted for the 2.5
Acura needs to hurry up and build an RDX Type-S.
Sam,
Why no rolling??!!!! 🤔
Accord 1.5T sonata 1.6T race please Sam please
An X3 M40i would the proverbial gun in this knife fight.
Curious as to what tune the RDX has.
Lol all those B58 cars are such cheat codes
Please do one with the GLC43 . STG 1 Euro-charge is getting 480/520.
