      @eyemright Don't let them deceive you. I own a Genesis 2021 GV80 and have never had any issues. Also, the Genesis GV80 feels far more premium than any Lexus RX or Mercedes-Benz GLE I have ever been in. And yes, Genesis is better than Lexus and all other Japanese luxury brands. 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🤙

    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 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. I'd take the Genny as it looks MUCH better imo and think many would agree (Former Bentley designers designed the GV80), better tech (blind view cameras, augmented reality?) better layout (haven't been a fan of Acura interiors in quite a while...many new vehicles have surprising too many buttons, can't get to the Goldilocks layout), better ride in the Genesis if you're after luxury, better warranty and likely better fuel efficiency (I think the Acura is shockingly bad for being part of the Honda family).
