It doesn’t look like the Mazda was in sport mode. The gauges would be red.
As long as Sam isn’t driving the gv80 it has a chance of actually winning…
True....Sam got slow reaction time most of the times
omg i thought i was the only one that noticed he can’t drive
I was about to say any car Sam drives automatically loses 30HP
@@ironvista he was getting pulled on every gear, ever think the genesis has terrible lag off the line???
@@tealchief nope, never crossed my mind. From what I've seen, Sam is a terrible racer. Nothing against him as a person. He seems like a good guy but not a very good driver.
For perspective: In Canada the Acura MDX Type S cost $88,000; the Genesis GV 80 3.5T 3-row costs $92,000; the Mazda CX90 PHEV GT (most expensive trim) costs $64,000. I’m impressed by Mazda’s performance, holding its own in much more expensive category.
A fair comparison would be the Telluride or Pilot, which are underpowered… but still great SUVs. CX90 hands down for me… Mazda’s strategy will pay off
Mazda is about 66k not 64. The MDX Type S has more performance parts hence why it costs more. Cheers
Fair enough - nonetheless Mazda is doing something unique that I believe will sway many ‘luxury’ buyers. The drag is a confirmation for me… I don’t need it to be faster, I just need it to hold its own… for $24K less
@@SamCarLegion
Lol yes seriously 66k is to much for the mazda but 88k is ok for the acura?The acura is almost 40% more expensive than the mazda.
@@meugzy the MDX Type S you see in the video will be sold soon, the owner is getting every penny back when he sells it because the car held its value very well. Could you say the same for the CX90? That’s the difference. The performance parts of the Acura are well worth the extra cost.
@@SamCarLegion Yeah but MDX is a FWD platform that is AWD. Mazda, it's an RWD platform that is AWD. And Mazda actually has a pretty good resale value. I think it's much better than Acura.
The way Mazda choose to step up and compete with luxury brands is very impressive, they did a great job for a new lineup, and I hope they will refine their motors even more also fix the new transmission lag.
Mazda become luxury by their own. So they are also luxury.
Own a current gen cx9 and love the new interior but hate the new exterior.
In reality no customer takes a sub 400 hp SUV to a dragstrip to race. A transmission desgined for fuel efficiency, like in the Mazda, makes more sense for this type of vehicle than a transmission designed for the hardest launch possible. The Mazda is MUCH more fuel efficient than the other two here, huge difference in IRL fuel economy.
Just picked up my cx90 and absolutely love it. Upgraded from a 2016 cx9 and seriously such a luxurious feel without a super crazy price tag! Never thought I’d be a Mazda fan until I drove my 9!
@@lizardgreen2121 جمالها في مظهرها الخارحي!
That GV80 is amazingly insulated. You can't even hear the engine.
I just purchased one. Isolation from outside noise is important for me. It's VERY quiet.
So is the CX90 for way less $
To be fair, the only reason you can hear the Mazda and Acura is because engine noises are pumped in by the interior speakers, especially in sport mode, and once you pass about 110mph you get a ton of wind and tire noise in most cars anyway
@@the3djs339good point. Do those cars have an option to completely turn off the noise?
GV80 design is breathtaking, looks like $200k SUV, well done Genesis🙏
As a Genesis G80 Sport owner, the GV80 needs an actual sport trim with a Sports+ mode. It makes good power but it's tuned for comfort and efficiency. Hopefully they add a Sport trim with the refresh and especially with the addition of the GV80 Coupe.
Its a great SUV, enjoy it. The interior fit and ride quality are great!
Maybe they have a plan gv80 coupe
@@XERXES23 didn’t they just show the coupe concept recently?
The 409hp version of the V6 would be nice in both the GV and G80, even better would be about 450hp.
@@Fabulousprofound168 Yep!
Mazda did a good job considering it is a brand new transmission, they have never designed a wet plate before and tuned conservatively for reliability. Interesting how close the CX-90 was to the X5 and GLE in the Throttle House roll race, and not too bad from a dig.
Right, so if the Mazda actually competed with the beemer and Merc in that video, then why is it so behind in this one? Seems like propaganda if you ask me.. Hyundai is paying these creators to make it look good against the established brands
A lot of the drag videos on this channel are a farce and badly needed driver mods. Guys that cant shift, slow reaction times, misshifting, wrong drive modes,etc..
@@JustAnotherRandomNPC true
Yea the Mazda wasn’t even in sports mode
That mazda looks amazing. And it's roughly 20k cheaper. What a steal.
Mazda is a mainstream brand - it's true competitors would be the Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade, Honda Pilot, VW Atlas, etc. The fact that it can hang close to the luxury brands is just a bonus. They're all nice vehicles in their own way, just enjoy the drive.
Very well said
In what power? A jeep SUV can take all of these to gapville, and that’s a mainstream brand. In luxury I don’t think it compares to the two.
Mazda is trying to compete in both the mainstream mid size suv segment and the luxury midsize segment with one car.
This particular cx90 is $60k. That's right into the middle of a fully loaded telluride sx pro prestige ($53k) and MDX type s ($67k).
So you do need to pay more to get closer to the luxury models but you can definitely see the difference why the MDX is some $7k more, and that's not only just the performance.
The point here is that you get what you pay for.
@@iforyou the Acura mdx type s is 92000$ in Canada. I just bought the Mazda for 64000$. So? That’s the full loaded signature. 28000$ difference?
@@iforyou I have a spec mdx, the slower model with 290 hp. Which I am trading in and it’s even close to 80000$ tax in.
The thing is that Mazda has never been about the raw power, so taking a Mazda to a drag race is like taking a fish out of water. Mazda has always been about the driving feel and driving dynamics. It’s steering feel and chassis tuning are better than most cars, and these reviewers fail to do a proper comparison to bring out where the CX90 truly shines - such as driving on windy roads and tracks. When CX90 was first released, there were a bunch of first drive reviewers taking it to the canyons, and they all said it drove better than most three rows.
First drive events sometimes are very tricky because some journalists tend to say very positive things about the car because they’re worried that they will never get invited again. Some not all
I have a cx9 and a mazda 6 he handling of both cars is amazing
This cx90 doesnt have the sport mode turned on…. Oops 😂
MDX -> GV80 -> CX90, based on the 0-60, MDX Type S is 5.5 seconds, GV80 is 6 seconds, CX90 is 6.3 seconds.
Seems like the GV80 is closer to the MDX Type S in the real world and the CX90 is further behind.
Mazda as a manufacturer checks a lot of boxes for me. Test drove the CX-90 yesterday, the interior is vastly impressive, the design itself and the practicallity of having physical buttons. The car also handles well, feels a lot smaller than its actual size.
That said, the new Inline 6 while has decent push from torque, doesn't have much character, felt a bit bland. For a 3-row family SUV, I think it's okay, it's a great balance of speed, handling, the interior just wins for me. And the fact the fully loaded Signature trim is $63,000 in Canada puts it very competitively in the segment.
Never got a chance to test drive the Acura, seems like no dealer ever have them in stock. Genesis on the other hand prcie themselves like a luxury Euro brand which they aren't. Advanced tech but they don't have the fundamentals. Both the GV70 and 80 felt disconncted on throttle, braking and steering inputs, not a cohesive experience.
Anyone looking for more power than these three probably needs to go the European route, but aside from that, CX-90 to me is the most well-rounded package, especially considering the cost.
Lol
You should do a Jeep grand Cherokee 4xe summit reserve vs the Acura mdx drag race and see which one will win.
Or you can get a Palisade, you pay 8k less and get a slower motor, but you get equally as good interior, better warranty, more features such as 360 car camera live view, blindspot cameras on the gauges, massage seats, digital rearview mirror etc and also way more space on the second and third row as well as trunk, lastly a quieter cabin by almost 5 whole decibels, and most importantly a better looking exterior than the horrendous CX90
@@randomvids2882 I agree with you on Hyundai/Kia having the leg up on their modern design and tech. But their fundamentals aren't there. Even as a 3-row SUV I want to it be relatively good to drive. I can see the practical appeal but the Palisade isn't for me, it's too soft and floaty. Their platform, where you don't see is not worth the money. With higher interest rate monthly payment comes out on par with the CX-90. It's all about preference.
The one vehicle I'd choose over any other competitor is the Ioniq 5, I think it's the best EV inside and out on the market for the money, it also fits Hyundai's uniquely forward design language perfectly.
SH, not sure which version CX-90 you drove, but I recently drove both the standard turbo version, and the high output (tuned) version. The HO tuned version had much better response, for what it’s worth.
So cool this video came out the same day I pick up my 2023 MDX Type S from the dealer!!! I knew I made the right choice.....lol. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Congratulations
@@mbenton6 why?
Congrats man. Crazy the price difference in Canada to USA. I just bought the Mazda full load in Canada for 64000$, traded in my mdx aspec. The type s in Canada is 92000$. 28000$ more than my Mazda cx90. Wild difference
@@bosmanRC 😮😮😮😮😮
Just picked up a 2024 Type S MDX. It's pricey, but it's an amazing vehicle.
MDX is a beautiful vehicle!! Love it, and it has the Honda reliability. Mazda looks classy as well
"Honda Reliability" isn't remotely close to what it used to be....
@Reece T Bobby you heard what he said, stop hating. It'll last longer than the other two 4 sure, especially that genesis.
Lmfao that thing is so ugly
@@Coupe-sy9nklmfao no it won't mazdas reliability is only second to lexus according consumer reports
@smok3sho587 Right, because consumer reports isn't biased in the least, try again. They also said genesis and Kia were ranked higher than Toyota. But I don't see Toyota with 6 class action lawsuits on faulty engines that catch fire and transmissions. Stop working with less than 30k miles on them. We are talking about real-life use, and while Mazda will certainly last a long time, we ALL know Honda and Acura vehicles have longer life spans. Kinda of why Honda outsells Kia and Hyundai and Mazda in the US and is considered a 3rd of the size of Hyundai/genesis and Kia combined. Nice try though.
Now let's see the MDX Type S vs the RX500h F-sport Performance please 🙏.
Why? The Acura would beat it. Lexis does 0-60 in 5.9 seconds according to car and driver magazine.
@@nathanstjohn2920 because magazine times on paper don't always translate to real world. Case in point, on paper you'd think the GV80 would be quicker based on magazines times, but in reality the MDX Type S has been consistently beating the Genesis from a dig.
@@TheBreakfastLover it still dépends on driver, remember the gv80 won the last roll race
I am sure this was not an issue.....BUT you did make an extra point to say the Mazda CX-90 was fueled with premium (because of these 3, only the Mazda CAN run on Regular fuel if the owner decides). But the engineers have said that IF you are running Regular (and the engine adjusts its EEC for this fuel, resulting in 319hp/369tq), then it will take "up to 2 tanks of fuel" using Premium for the EEC (electronic engine control) to reset to the full 340hp/369tq. Hopefully that test Mazda CX-90 had only ever had Premium fuel used before you ran it.
Even with premium it makes no difference in the outcome. Mazda is the heaviest and the least HP.

MDX Type S! ❤ Great to finally see something competitive from Acura!! Great race.
Yeah great race fhw msx is only 20 grand more than the mazda
@@smok3sho587t's more like 10k above, this is the 340 hp Mazda CX-90. Yeah the difference is still significant but keep in mind the MDX Type S is larger and has massaging seats and all.
That Genesis is really quiet inside. The difference between it and the Mazda is pretty crazy
It’s also vastly more expensive when you compare trims
For me, Mazda please! Is a amazing car brand! Excellent handling!
How many miles are on the CX-90? The ECU neuters output until engine break in is complete... same mistake this channel made before with the Mazda 3 AWD 2.5T review
Mazda is my favorite Japanese car brand and I feel that 3.3L inline 6 turbo is going to have some crazy aftermarket options soon. Watch those make 800whp with just a new turbo and manifold.
Good to know.. Think I'm a buyer when the CX-70 comes to market in Canada.
It went just as expected, but I’d stilled enjoyed it 👍🏾
I'm a huge Acura fan with the 18 RLX sport hybrid and 19 MDX Sport Hybrid as my current daily drivers. I like the +22 MDX Type S on paper; but, not on price, mpg, or performance upgrade over my 19 MDX Sport Hybrid. My 321hp 4500lbs19 MDX Sport Hybrid performs around the same as the Mazda or GV80 range with 25-28 mpgs for city/combined/hwy driving on 87-91 octane. Add the $1500 Sport Hybrid powertrain to the MDX Type-S for +420 hp/tq AND +24 city/combined/hwy mpgs and it would be in my driveway right now.
The Acura doesn’t get the same EPA rating as the cx-90 stop it
@@souls3029 The 17-20 MDX Sport Hybrid I have is rated 26 city/27 hwy. I've seen as low as 22 mpgs and as high as 29 mpg depending on driving conditions. Not sure on which Acura are you are thinking about?
@@mrgold3591 23/24 MDX type S
We have been getting annoyed with Hondas other recent new offerings but this MDX type s we definitely like.
Hi Sam. Good three way comparison drag race video between the Acura MDX Type S, Genesis GV80 and the Mazdo CX-90. I knew the MDX Type S would have the advantage due to the fact that the weight is lighter than the other two vehicles. Also, quicker shifting by the transmission. Another thing could be is that the power that gets generated is achieved at lower RPMs.
Mazda does a good job considering the price difference.
The CX-90 is tuned for efficiency and its over 20k+ cheaper than both those vehicles 😂 just imagine mazda made a performance model with that powertrain
The cx90 sport mode is not on
Not surprise that CX-90 is defeated by both because it is the least powerful but the heaviest out of these three.
Yes, but most importantly, Mazda’s new 8-speed tranny in the CX-90 is not good for launching in a drag race or for low to high speed acceleration. I just test drove a CX-90 a few days ago and was left disappointed with the new 8-speed tranny. The new inline-6 engine is nice though. 👍
@@paulira7407 Thanks for replying. Not hating Mazda at all because I still admire this brand for not following the current. I heard the 8AT is jerky from many reviewers, but it has a clutch instead of conventional torque converter so I guess that’s the reason. I assume the purpose is to optimize efficiency rather than performance since Mazda becomes irrelevant in performance department especially Mazdaspeed defunct. Hope they fix the transmission issues. Glad to see this new straight six engine is a masterpiece. I heard it is silky smooth too because it is the nature of the straight six configuration.
@@Kanazawa1997 MotoMan had Dave Coleman on to discuss the technical aspects of Mazda’s new 8-speed tranny and what you described is correct, in addition to maximizing fuel economy with the new inline-6 engine. I’m sure the new tranny will be reliable overall and will not grenade like Nissan’s past CVT transmissions, but I think Mazda could improve some of the “unrefined” characteristics of the tranny described by many seasoned vehicle reviewers on RUclips.
But the Mazda it’s the most beautiful of all
More importantly it doesnt even have sport mode turned on
Thanks for the super cool comparison! The fully loaded CX-90 is about $25,000 cheaper after tax than the fully loaded MDX Type S here in Canada. For that 0.6 second difference, I will take the Mazda over the Acura any day and keep the extra cash. Not to mention CX-90's much better fuel economy (mild hybrid) and superior handling due to its longitudinal engine and rear biased AWD.
Very true - but when you return your mdx type s , you might get the same money as new. Also, MDX type s has better brakes, it has quad exhaust, you can tune the engine, it has air ride and it will hold value far better. I see it now!
@@layne4376 I'm pretty sure you haven't test drive both. I did it last week and the CX-90's handling at corners feels better to me.
@@layne4376 lol you're talking about mazda vs a friggen ACURA 😂😂😂
@@MrFreePSNcodes Acura = fancy Honda 🤣
@@pennywang7450MDX drives better on a twisty road. Rear wheel drive architecture doesn't always mean better handling.
Acura Mdx types is the one ☝️ I’ll take 😂
Love what your doing Sam. Thank you to all of you guys for all that you do.
The look at the previous race and most of all the roll race first to warm the tires.
Truly impressed by the MDX, the A Spec is my daily driver and I was considering a CX-70 as my next hauler as I don’t need MDX space anymore.
Mazda is here to punch above it's class just by being in this race. Very impressive to see a company develop a new Inline 6 in this era. Not surprised the MDX is the winner as it's designed to be sporty, Acura has been doing a lot better products lately and this new Turbo V6 paired with the upgraded in house 10 speed is a monster. Think of how fast the 10th Generation Accord with the 2.0T 10AT pair is!
Just goes to show that the issue with the TLX-Type S is not the excellent engine and drivetrain, but purely the excessive curb weight. The MDX uses the exact same engine but weighs less than its competition so it's faster, meanwhile the TLX weighs more than its competition (only 300 lbs less than the MDX-S!) so it's slower than or even with most.
So it needs more power to even out the weight?
True, and just like this race, the TLX Type S would likely give the heavier Genesis G80 a run for its money.
@TheBreakfastLover we are forgetting about the gv70 though which one could argue is more of a direct competitor to the mdx type s than is the 3 row gv80. That is the race we need.
@Mike Scallon that's like saying rs7 vs. accord. they don't compete, not even in the same class.
@@mikescallon4288 the MDX has been a 3 row SUV for the past 23 years.
The Mazda is definitely the best of the bunch for the money. 0-60 and 1/4 times are more than capable for future owners of three row SUVs. The CX-90 has made the brand a legitimate contender in the three row market.
Still love the mazda cx90
The MDX is faster than the GV80 so I can’t wait to see the results!!!
Correct, the Acura already beat the GV80, but it'll be interesting to see how the Mazda holds up. Also the big match up would be the Lexus RX500h FSP vs the MDX Type S
@@TheBreakfastLover I’m pretty sure the MDX will be faster than the Lexus… the transmission on the MDX is way better than the Lexus since it’s made for quick shifting vs the Lexus it’s more for cruising.. but I definitely want to see the video. I know the Mazda was pretty much even with the BMW so you never know.
The question now is where is the placement of CX90, is it faster than other 2, or slower than the other 2, or in between?
@@blackwhirlwind1245 it might take the MDX I guess we have to wait till tomorrow! I’m still going for the MDX because I have one 😂😂
@@TheBreakfastLover a better race is between MDX Type S vs Lexus TX, which will come out later this year.
I'm glad you went back to the old videos, I think a lot of people like me didn't like the new format of videos
That GV80 is dead silent. 🤯🤯🤯
Honda pumps in sound
like floating on a cloud
I love japanese, german, and italian cars 😊😊
I really wish you guys would do a MDX type s versus the base MDX 3.5 just to see the difference.
I have an MDX A-spec. Im pretty sure even the Mazda would annihilate it. I will say that the 3.5 is smooth like butter.
@@drunkinmaster1 Not sure about annihilate...😊
The Type S runs about 1 second to 60 quicker.
@@Snookynibbles Yes. Thank you. Everyone knows that. I just want to see it real world.
The real difference with comparing turbocharged vs NA applications is the usable powerband. You have so much more torque with a wider range throughout the rpm’s.
There’s no way a Hyundai could ever beat a Mazda..
Not just a Hyundai it’s a genesis 😁
Great job Acura! Didn't expect that
Sam… still think there is a bit of Mazda hate. However, I went back and looked at your CX-9 vs MDX video and you were very fair and you were really looking forward to the CX-9 replacement.
I honestly believe now that you had high expectations for the Mazda and everything wasn’t quite right at the launch of the vehicle. In addition, with the price increases isn’t quite the value it once was (at least not at the upper trims).
So, I am now subscribed again…just give the CX-90 another review in a year or two when some of the bugs are worked out. And please give it a break when it comes to the 3rd row. It really isn’t that bad.
Crazy the mdx has a air suspension and is still the lightest
Air suspension weighs less than coil springs 😂 who would ah knew
That was fun. These Mazda people commenting are something....its heavy and lowest on power - I'd say it did really well considering those disadvantages. The 2nd roll race was farther back because of the slow downshifting transmission at higher speeds. Thanks for letting me come race again Sam. Good times.
Thanks for helping out Jim
Mazda has upped their game significantly. This cx is really nice. I think if they use this same engine in the smaller, lighter 2 row model (cx60or70?) They’ll have a hit.
Not bad the Mazda, it is by far the heaviest.
The Mazda also suffers from a stop because initial launch is handled by a small electric motor, hence the closer results in the roll race.
My understanding is that the GV80 as trimmed here is the heaviest? And the MDX Type S the lightest by about 300 lbs?
@@philhenderson3516 You are right, about 140 pounds it seems, my bad
I’m not surprised. MDX drivetrain is refined and sporty. Acura has been in that v6 game for a long time vs Mazda being brand new and being a small company. Nevertheless Mazda is the most impressive car out of the bunch for just being new to the game and stacking up against these luxury rivals. Give them few years to update and refine the brand new transmission lag.
This was very interesting and results was as expected!
You should also mention the price tag on each of these along with the gas mileage each one gets as most people don't drag race these vehicles. Great video overall! Keep them coming👍🏻
Thank you for finally being able to give speeds at the end of the 1/4 mile. To me that was the one missing part.
Can we get a mdx type s vs rx500h?
I’m going with an MDX but I really like the GV80 styling it gives off Mercedes Benz vibes
I want a Mdx type s.
I’ll take Mazda anytime over those also the competition to Mazda is Kia Jeep etc but it’s amazing it’s only slower the gv80 by 01 second to 60 and out handle all of those rear wheels bias
I’ll take the better mpg CX-90 over the others!
Cuz you dont know what you talking about that why 🤣
Mdx s over any of these vehicles, even bmw and merc. Reliable Acura. My 15 odyssey 345,000km and still going no issues, no burning oil.
Imagine being broke
Its not in sport mode lolol
I take the cx90 I line 6 all day give the tuner a,year to put a new turbo
i have 2022 GV80 & 2023 Type S. love both.
Dude I SWEAR you get these IMPORTANT videos out first lol!!!😂
Always
Still impressive how the CX-90 was only 1 second behind the MDX. I'll take the CX-90 with the good gas mileage 🙂
GV80 is the most advanced car.
Vtec kicked in
Now think about the price points, Mazda is against suvs in a class above put it against cars in its class like Honda crv rav4 and so on and you’ll see how truly good Mazda did on it
As expected Type-S is superior, however I thought the difference would be far more noticeable given that “Type-S” badge. And is it me or does it seem like Sam does not like Mazda as a brand at all? I think it looks amazing and very well serves its purpose as a family hauler with good fuel economy and better than average interior.
@Gilberto Umanzor Acura calibrates its Type S against their base model; for the MDX that would be 355 hp vs 290. The Type S is ~ 1 sec. to 60 quicker than the base model.
You know what would be amazing? Adding miles per hour to the ET's as mph is an indication of HP more than ET's (the launch determines ET's the most, and HP reflects in the mph more.)
Race itself is great , thank you! But what’s up with it’s title?
If Honda/Acura could produce a true 4x4 or say 4wd offroader then that would be great. Honda now only needs to conquer this territory.

Mazda is nice
Didnt the GV80 have launch mode? Did you use it?
Isn’t the Mazda 15-20k less than these two? I’d say it’s a great effort.
Great video!! thanks!
Did you fill AKI 87 gasoline for all cars? 91?
Did the GV80 have premium in it?
I want the RDX but that MDX is a beast
Acura positions the MDX as the more “refined” of the two.
Mazda ❤️❤️❤️
Mazda for 20K less wins hands down for me .
What were odometers readings on those cars ?
Hope same fuel was used in all three?
Mazda uses small electric motor at the start before 3.3t comes in , all for smoothness and fuel economy as it shows at the starts where it is slower .
It would be interesting to see 3.3t vs PHEV models race ...

Mazda hasn't done a cool car since the rx-7, rx-8 was a failure and leaked oil for fun.
The Mazda’s performance impressed me more, much more, in fact.

Where are the 1/4 mile and 0-60 TIMES? Did I miss it? I didn’t see them pop up anywhere in the video.
did they not put the mazda in sport mode? the gauges dont look like they should when in sport mode...
I had been waiting for this comparison with the introduction of the CX90. Sam and team delivered!
From the video, the Genesis looked noticeably closer to the MDX on the second run.
that Mazda is a monster I just wish they have one with hybrid option
In the throttle house video on the CX90, it was able to keep up with the I6 versions of the GLE and X5 in a roll. Are the GV80 and MDX Type S just faster than all of those?
True Mazda fans know that the horse power may be higher with the premium fuel, but the torque remains the same.
Would like to see manual shifting done
Ok, just learning about Mazda's 3.3 inline turbo six... Where is the HP the turbo is making. The output is that of a NA engine?
Hey Sam, are you going to use drag strip lights in the future? Battery/solar powered, as long as drivers don't hit them..
Cant find them!!
Asian SUVs have never looked better. The Genesis and Mazda in particular are really handsome in the opening scene where they pull up next to each other. I'm waiting to see the 2-row CX-70 as the CX-90 can look a little long and slab sided sometimes.
Dont mind about who's faster, I'd still prefer the acura.
Well, the type S is $88K in Canada, the Genesis is close to $89K, while the Mazda is $63K. Price matters. Why not test the CX-90 against the price matched versions of these vehicles? The regular MDX - which is still more expensive or the regular Genesis that is actually $10K more than the CX-90!
Mazda is 66k. 12k extra for the Type S is 100% worth it, from amazing brakes to quad exhaust to performance, shawd and air ride plus the audio system and more.
@@SamCarLegion Why not test the CX-90 against the MDX Tech level. The $67K version?
@@AMehta-ok5pf because that makes less horsepower than a donkey? How’s that fair? We are top vs top not top vs middle
It sounds like price doesn't matter to him..$25k difference
@@SamCarLegion what are you talking about? Mazda cx90 should be compared to MDX not the type S and I’m a Honda fan lol you comparing a hybrid suv to a type S lmao cmon
I personally can verify the GV80 is dog slow. I test drove one back in 2021. Not only was it slow, it drove like crap on those 22s. After the test drive, the greedy Hyundai salesman (was literally wearing a Hyundai uniform) tried to mark up a 72K MSRP vehicle to 88K. We walked. Copped my 2023 MDX Type S Advance last November. Love it, and I smoke clowns all the time.
I think that you 🚬 something else. You really think that someone will take you seriously? Enjoy your MDX.
@@avis1978 I’m not sure what this man is going through, but I’ve driven both and the MDX barely felt better because the Genny is a full luxury car, and I guess he didn’t watch the video because it was right next to the MDX “Type S”
@@HD_Kerino he is just another hater. The gv80 also took the last roll but somehow Sam didn't really talk about it 🤔 and he didn't used the LC that it has. The gv80 is in a different level of luxury and technology. I have nothing against Acura.
@@avis1978that took the last roll? Or he just jumped lol. Why do you think the gab vs the Mazda disappeared. Unbelievable 😂
@@Av3ntur0zky it doesn't look like he jumped. It looks like he was behind them before they got to the cone. And it doesn't even matter. It's a fxxx 7 seaters. If you ask me i would go with the cx90 because it's the best value for money out of the 3.
MDX should’ve had about 50 more horsepower.
Didn’t need it here lol 😂
@@SuperdimensionalMDX is the only “performance” oriented car here and it barely pulled ahead. A base X5 walks the MDX. Embarrassing
A $650 JB4 piggyback tune adds 100hp / 100 tq and takes 5 minutes to install
Why? So it would gap the competitors even more lol?
It sure had enough in this race 😂
Acura ❤❤
It's no brainer to choose the Acura over the other two, as one is Korean (Hyundai) and the other one is average japanese (Mazda) which isn't as reliable as the Honda/Acura.
I’m laughing at this because Mr. Legion spent a lot of time crowing about her great the GV80 was and how crappy the MDX was before the Type S model came out.
It’s funny that all of the initial fevor about the GV80 has subsided substantially since the Type S has been on the market. Once you get past the fact that the GV80 has more wood accents that the Type S you see it is just a superior all round vehicle to the GV80.
That said I really wished that Acura had carried over the hybrid MDX set with the 4 electric motors powering the SH-AWD. That could have been a monster with 450 + horsepower I would guess.
