@@TYPICALTRYHARD_ 1.5t engine paired with Honda's cvt is not even comparable to the 2.0t with Honda's 10 speed. I personally think this alone is enough of an upgrade.
People say this and still drive a 2010 Civic. lol. The RDX looks great, it has things inspired from the NSX and still looks way better than most other SUVs. The 4Runner hasn't been redesigned since 2009 lol.
@@Dochorahan I think the current gen RDX looks good, but if you compare it to the MDX whose exterior has more straight streamline design, I'd say Acura should update the RDX.
The exterior is honestly fine! It’s doesn’t look out of place in 2024 whatsoever. The interior (predominantly infotainment center) is a different story though. Not saying they should incorporate a full size screen going from one end to the other but, keep the essential physical buttons and minimize the amount of space they take up. Have the screen come closer to the driver and you’re golden. Other than that, the RDX is perfect. Sort of like Mazda, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
I do follow your channel and i like your Videos, very informative. But this pitch for RDX over CRV is not that convincing aa top end of CRV will give you much more features than entry level RDX 😅
Well done, Have you reviewed the underdog Acura? The Integra ASpec with Tech. Has a touchscreen, adaptive dampers, incredible audio system and great gas mileage.
Price as tested on the Acura was 55k, my Cr-v hybrid touring model(top), was 10k out the door cheaper. That, combined with 40+ mpg and regular gas vs premium for the Acura tips the scale in favor of the Honda, which also is blacked out, with nice leather and led lights, which looks sharp in the deep red.
@jtomtl why should I when I can buy any cx5 cx50 turbo and use regular gas. That and from experience I'm sure either would be.more reliable and save 10k from the get go. Gee that way maybe I could afford premium gas. Cool
@@waynerogers6621 why hate on Acura then? You don’t want to pay for premium gas so I assumed you aren’t able to afford it. Most Premium brands need premium fuel. FYI Mazda is not a luxury brand, they make good cars but not a luxury brand
No, different in just about every area. Suspension completely different, completely different engine, completely different transmission, different infotainment, speakers, etc
He says at the start he is comparing a luxury car to a non luxury car, then points out all the differences because it is a luxury car. I would love for him to try to do the same thing with the 2024 Mazda CX-5, a non luxury car with all the options he mentions in the Acura. That is far more impressive than this comparison.
It should be better given the price increase. Thr only thing that would stop me from buying another Honda over an Acura again is the loaner car program. I've driven both the MDX and RDX and I have a heavy foot and they just don't do anything for me and the type S isn't enough.
In Canada 🇨🇦 version of last crv had black edition with panoramic sunroof...do you know if we will get black edition on new crv? We love our rdx, but crv would be nice for our children
So you can get a "luxury" badge, heads up display, ventilated seats, 360 camera and pano sunroof. Yea that's not enough to justify getting the RDX over the CRV
Better engine (2.0L from the Type R compared to the 1.5L in the CRV) Better transmission (10 speed, no CVTs) Better suspension Better AWD system I can go on and on
@@CCANGEL333 build quality meaning the body panel gaps are inconsistent from one side to the other also a lot of electronic issues and squeaky brake rotors that is known issue but they won’t replace due to supply shortage. Go to Acurazine forum and check it out.
A base RDX may have a 44K price, but they don't really make "stripped" RDX Acuras available at the dealerships. You won't get into any RDX for less than 50--55K.
The interior is trash no touch screen in 2024 is crazy and the speedometer looks like they took it out of a 20 year old Acura, sad when the CR-V at least has half it's speedometer as a digital display I'm really starting to Hate Honda
4 cyl ? Yea, Hard Pass. $44k base msrp not including dealer fees, etc. After the average American finances this overpriced ride, you'll easily be in the mid to high $50k plus range. It's absolutely not worth it.

You should have compared the loaded crv vs the base model rdx. You compared it to the aspec. Thats not fair

Agreed. The CRV does hold it’s value more than
Both amazing choices. Acura better nail the redesign RDX
Facts
Acura needs to update the exterior design of the RDX.
Redesign is coming probably for the 2025/26 year

The interior from the gauge and the dashboard puts me off honestly even tho I desire that car

You can put regular in the rdx
Used Acura is half and more off the price
Question: I have a new RDX and it says my AT&T subscription is due to expire. What does that mean?
Is there any remote chance, the RDX might cost just a smidge more?
i luv the middle place in the front acura for shoes or purse
RDX also has the ELS sound packages.
Rdx has 10spd and crv has cvt
The hybrid doesn't have a cvt
I like the RDX but the price skyrocketed uses premium gas and I'd have to drive 50 miles for service.
You can use regular but you are gonna pay the price later
You can’t even afford premium gas?! Gee…

Omg so u telling me the screen stayed that small andnnot touch screen AGAIN???mannn whats going on with acura people not making that better
Aint it the same car since, only difference is cosmetics
No, different in just about every area. Suspension completely different, completely different engine, completely different transmission, different infotainment, speakers, etc
They are not even sharing the same platform. Although very likely their production lines are within the same plant in Ohio.

Its like comparing a Maybach over Mercedes A Class

I wish they made Acura in the UK.
They know better, y’all gonna be drifting away from cops😂
Y'all get nicer Hondas lmao
Best selling Acura product in North America
How about I buy a 32 thousand dollar CRV?
Only bad thing about the RDX is the MPG.
The premium fuel requirement is always a no-go for me. Sorry.Acura.
I use regular in my rdx, no problem. The dealer said it was ok
It’s for performance. Keep your regular car that takes regular gas
Great #short!
man i still don't think there's a single SUV on the market that isn't dog ugly to me
CRV offers better feature in Asia. They have 360, heated seats and also LED lighting. Also has RS trim in other country.
The problem with Acura is that their designs are just like Hondas. They are just not differentiated enough from the mainstream brand.
So you can get a "luxury" badge, heads up display, ventilated seats, 360 camera and pano sunroof. Yea that's not enough to justify getting the RDX over the CRV
Better engine (2.0L from the Type R compared to the 1.5L in the CRV)
Better transmission (10 speed, no CVTs)
Better suspension
Better AWD system
I can go on and on
Redesign is on the way but I'll still take the RDX. It's for sure better. I've driven both but the CRV is nice for sure though
The RDX would be perfect if not for that class-trailing fuel economy.
Just dont buy small turbo engine like 1.5t or something. Hybrid form Honda is fine.
The extra umph that you get with the RDX is due to a higher compression engine, which requires 93 octane gas (all the time).
It’s a completely different engine, not just higher compression.
This is my next car 😍
Honda/Acura has lost its ways the quality is just not there anymore after owning 9 acuras my 2021 tlx aspec will be my last.
What's wrong with your Acura or newer ones?

These car's is not good too get living in the Bronx smh. They stay getting stolen.
Trump was there today in the Bronx, Crotona Park. He will save you.
That interior is horrible

Always MSRP at my dealership and ofc it's gonna cost more than 50 out the door cause of taxes and insurance
This is a weird comparison, both cars are on a different platform with completely different price levels
Aaaand an automatic, no CVT, even if Honda CVT isn't as bad
Both are perfect but Acura looks a little little better.
20” wheels, panoramic sunroof and a turbo only option are three reasons I wouldn’t want the Acura.
RDX doesn't have a CVT
Luxury 😂😂
$41k fully loaded vs $44k starting price. Anyone else see the BIG difference?
The starting price for the RDX has wayyy more features than the CRV fully loaded
Lol the rdx in this video is an a spec advance, 55k msrp
Acura emblem too big. Looks ugly on the grille
Hybrid? They don’t offer
What no more VTech engine.
It's the same car. Same mother (honda) different fathers
The interior is trash no touch screen in 2024 is crazy and the speedometer looks like they took it out of a 20 year old Acura, sad when the CR-V at least has half it's speedometer as a digital display I'm really starting to Hate Honda
Why would you rather have a digital gauge over a physical one when its probably gonna last longer and be cheaper to replace

Acura seems more premium than Luxury! Genesis is luxury
