Everyone upset he compared the TLX to the Camry, he noted that was what he had in his posession. I would say an accord would be a better comparison but not sure why everyone is up in arms about this video. RELAX and enjoy the video, it’s not that serious.
He said in the beginning that it compares main stream to luxury, fully loaded Camry in this case is about 37K, it is also the starting point of TLX. People can afford XSE v6 probably can afford TLX as well.
My last car was 03 Acura TL which I sold to my dad, and I bought a 2020 Camry XSE and I absolutely love the car! Love the styling, interior, ride quality, mpg, sound system, not buying premium gas lol and of course the Toyota reliability.
I've had my heart set on a 2022 TLX Type S for some time, which of course is the superior car, but when my 06 Acura TL died several months ago (blown transmission no surprise) I really had to re-assess my priorities. With two kids in college and shuttling them and their stuff back and forth...the Camry XSE hybrid's combination of reliability, price, MPG, spaciousness and sportiness made the decision a no brainer for me. Yes, I gave up AWD, a beautiful interior/exterior and stellar handling/performance, but I also will be getting 44 MPG and not have to buy premium fuel.
This is exactly the type of videos that I like. For me, my priority is in fuel savings, lower maintenance costs and better resale value so I think the Camry is a better option. Thanks and keep them coming!!
That refreshed G70 is one of the sexiest looking sedans I have seen, so much better than any of the current competition. Genesis is killing it. The pre-refresh G70 looks okay, but a bit boring. I'm just disappointed Genesis didn't drop the new 3.5T into the refresh.

Would love to see Accord vs. TLX, or Camry vs ES for review so viewers can decide if its worth to upgrade from mainstream to luxury. And since you reviewed this cars wouldn’t it be fair if there will be also an Accord vs ES? 😬
See my initial comment. The Camry is NOT, I repeat not a luxury car, even in it's highest XSE trim. Comfortable, but not luxurious. I've own several over the past 20 years, so I can tell you that with first hand knowledge
Thats the case for all luxury cars. A friend of mine bought a certified pre-owned, fully loaded 2017 Acura TLX for $24,000. Incredible value for money.
there arent that many of them and they'll probably be floored a lot causing faster wear so you're not really saving buying used when you need to pay for potential repairs from being ragged on by the previous lease owner. people who lease are basically car renters and they will rag them.
Just depends on what’s the better option to and for you! I was dead set on a TLX, before this redesign. But I chose the Camry it was a little bigger, Toyota’s are ultimately a bit more reliable, and while I don’t know about this redesigned TLX, but Acura was still using timing belts in their J-Series V6’s. Toyota moved to Timing Chains years ago. That’s important to me. Besides... my fully loaded XSE V6 w/red leather is no slouch!
Well these are two different segments of cars so the differences in performance and features will be expected. The TLX A-spec is worth the $10,000.00 price difference. But the Camry is a solid buy for what it is. Plus a 2021 Camry XLE v6 should offer enough luxury and appearance in addition to the V6 performance. looking forward to a comparison between the Acura TLX A-spec and Lexus ES-350. A comparison between the Mazda 6 signature with the TLX would be interesting too.
“After hoping out off the car” the next day, lol. Or did you have to match the interior of the Acura. 😂 great comparison! For 10,000 I’d wait a few years for a gently used.
how do you know its gently used. take the engine and trans apart to know? lol people rag these cars if they lease. its like a rental car to them, for fun. cars that are driven hard isnt really a deal, they're worn out. the metallurgy isnt invincible in the drivetrain as people may think.
If I had to choose between the two, I’d definitely take the TLX. More stylish and sporty for my liking. My only issue with this Camry in the very long run would be changing the hybrid battery so another reason to take the TLX.
ki0ng Maybe, but that would depend on how well it’s maintained, and if there’s any premature issues just like they had with their 5 speeds back in their 2000-2003 TL models that come up.
The way prices are going with the Corolla and Camry XSE trims they are starting to get into the same price range of an entry level Luxury cars (Audi, Mercedes, Lexus,etc). So the real question is is a Corolla worth $25,000...and is a Camry worth $35,000?
Their starting prices arent that high. You are talking a FULLY EQUIPPED model vs. A stripped down luxury model. You take your pick. Is a civic type r worth $37,000?
@@q-bert6454 Well if a fully loaded camry (pano sunroof, 360 camera, heads-up display, red leather seats, heated/cooled seats... ETC) with a 3.5L v6 is not worth at 35k, then something like an entry Mercedes C class with no options (no pano sunroof, no 360 camera, no heads-up display, no leather, no heated cooled seats...etc) with a 4 cylinder is DEFINITELY not worth it at 40k. Unless u think a luxury brand logo is worth 20k. Basically u are someone who just thinks any car over ~30k or so is not worth it at all, or u think paying an extra 20k for a logo is worth. pathetic.
@@mssha1980 Doesnt make sense comparing a brand new, 0 miles car purchase with a used car purchase. Plus there's a good reason why luxury brand cars depreciate in price so quickly. These cars maintenance costs and frequency gets ridiculous with slight age.
Right? It says a lot when the Accord 2.0t, which costs less than the Camry, beats it in a drag race even tho the TLX has more horsepower. I'd definitely wait for the Type-S so it can compete with the Genesis G70😂
SO, I bought the Camry V6 XSE and can say I Love it!!! I wanted the TLX Type S V6 355HP but Acura is dragging their feet and won't put it out!! (March '21??? GMAFB) their loss!! plus I really couldn't do $60K...... thats a Huge chunk of money and a MASSIVE Car Payment!!!
Why would you consider an Acura over Arteon? This is an honest question as I like to understand the reason. I think Arteon is way prettier inside and outside & high tech too with digital cockpit, and great build finish. Is the reason the engine output?
When Sofyan closed the door to hear the sound while in the Acura, I quickly thought to myself...."Is he really bout to close the door and mute himself? Then, he kept talking, the audio stayed." Then I thought to myself....."That was pretty damn cool."
Good Review as usual< Great comparison. I did the same comparison myself. I did this on the 2020 Models. The difference with my deal on the TLX 2020 with A Spec and Tech package, compared to the XSE Camry was less than $3000. The TLX had all the standard features included, and items you could not get on Camry. Both were the four cylinder models. After three months of driving, still very happy with my choice.
I would gladly spend the extra $10,000 and have. You get the luxury experience, loaner car when needed, warm cookies in the waiting area and sometimes scheduled maintenance included.
Except the Acura dealer service is shit. Toyota dealers have warm cookies. I always get a loaner when i take my car in. You are a Honda fan. there’s no arguing with you
@@davevolz6138 except the warm cookies are better at Acura than the warm cookies at Toyota. They gots white chocolate chip and macadamia nut, not just that chocolate chip BS. Plus Acura has 2% milk, not just skim. You 'miring bruh?
If I have to pick between the two, Camry easily. Most mainstream economy cars are rivaling luxury cars in their top trim nowadays or with brands like Mazda, which imo has an even better interior than both of these. Of course it more fair comparison would be TLX vs ES F Sport or IS350 AWD (which is the one I would get between the 4).
TLX and it's not even close. The Acura has a real torque-vectoring rear axle, while the Lexus ES has a fake system that just brakes the inner turning wheel, lol.
@Harsh Grewal you sound like a 5 yr old brand ambassador for lexus lmaooo. kid you never even sat in the new tlx so don't talk about it like you know anything. the screen is definitely not flimsy. the interior is 20x better than all the cheap plastic buttons and outdated look the lexus has. the shifter looks like it's from 2005 and the interior design itself is outdated. nothing about the lexus is better except ride quality due to plushier seats. speakers, drive train, adaptive suspension, everything is better in the tlx. i noticed how you didn't respond to the guy who talked about the torque vectoring. cause you know that he's right. lmao.
New made in Japan 2004 Acura TSX manual now with 89,000 miles puts a smile on my face every time. Hell of a car! You get much better paint, uses 1/2 qt oil every 4 to 5 thousand miles unlike our same engine Civic SI, 1qt per 1500 to 2000 mi. More refined ride, quiet cabin, etc. If you plan to keep it 15 or 20 years it's a no brainer. Considering the TLX base model, wish it was still Japan built.
The new TLX looks pretty good, but nothing about it other than the looks is all that interesting, at least in the more base spec. Will be interesting to see if the Type S is anything special.
I'm looking to get an XSE in Blueprint (Gas, 4 cylinder, FWD) with all options except the sunroof. I bought my wife a Lexus RX350 but I'm not interested in Lexus because the rear seats don't fold down. This video cements my decision to buy a main stream car vs luxury.
I’m sure he has a good reason why it’s not the Avalon. Maybe he couldn’t get one. And maybe he’ll pair it to the Avalon later. Maybe not. I just try to enjoy the work.
It would be nice to see a comparison between this TLX and the Accord Sport 2.0T 10 speed. $15k difference in price, but that Honda Accord is pretty amazing for what you get. The Acura is very nice too. I love them both.
For me, I'm all the way going to pick the Acura TLX, but the Camry is not a bad car at all~ I think both cars offer something different in this segment that many people will like. For me, again the Acura TLX blows the Camry XSE out of the water for its cool design, nice interior, and nice driving dynamics, but it is not really a comparison that really makes sense, and depends on what people are looking for. The Camry however is great for practicality and simple use, which I know a lot of people like.
Wait for the new MDX But comparing the current MDX vs current Highlander, I’d go Highlander platinum hands down. Especially the hybrid where it gets 35mpg combined vs 26 in the MDX hybrid
Agreed. Honda needs to improve its hybrid technology to keep up with Toyota. Although personally, if you don’t like hybrids, go for the MDX. Honda J-series engines are amazing smooth and very good on gas if your a highway traveler. I get over 32mpg in my 2016 Acura RDX with AWD when I’m on the highway. City mph... that’s a different story.
@@Deadlybroom My 2016 MDX with SH-AWD get 30+ mpg on the highway easily even with 7 bodies and luggage in the vehicle as long as you cruise at 55-65 mph.
@@Deadlybroom I think honda does a good job with their non hybrid i4 cars like the civic and CR-V. I can get 40 mpg city in the 2.0L civic easily at night or low 50's if I try. In the CR-V I've been able to get 35-40 mpg city in chicago suburbs in the afternoon with the 1.5T.
Hey Sofyan! Great content! I've watched a lot of your videos! I have a small request: When a car has a deficiency, can you consider incorporating upgrades that a normal person could consider? It would be extremely helpful. What the upgrade is, estimated installation difficulty, and approximate price is all we would need. I.e. I have a 2015 Subaru Forester and have been upgrading it over time. The main upgrades being speakers, infotainment, leatherette seat covers, led lights in front and rear, and a thicker rear sway bar. I also plan to upgrade the wheels and tires in the near future. I essentially am making it close to a luxury car while keeping the reliability of the vehicle itself.
You’re literally asking your viewers to unsubscribe. Be careful lol The NA V6 is what makes the Camry so good. The v6 refinement and smoothness and power delivery is a luxury that is disappearing
I've drove the 21 Accord and Camry. I own a 21 TLX AWD Tech. No comparison! The only complaint I have with the TLX is that I get 21-23 mph with city driving. It is a gorgeous car inside and out! Drives awesome too! I do think the heated steering wheel should be standard on all luxury car brands at all trim levels. 😎
I was literally deciding between these two fact two cars and as much as I really want to have the Acura, the Camry’s extra space and ability to use regular gas over premium just gives it the win for me hands down. Plus I’ve owned multiple Hondas, Nissans/infinitis, and looking forward to my first Toyota/Lexus experience
@@jeromep3182 The accord May be sportier but the Camry is more refined w the v6. Also the Camry rides better and some of the tech in the Camry is better done than the acccord or tlx
@@jeromep3182 I agree but how? The accord may be sportier but the v6 Camry is more smooth and some tech like the hud audio pano roof and 360 cam and a more adjustable passenger seat are better done in the camry
The 2020 Acura TLX was so spacious in the cabin. I hate that they took away all that space when they didn’t need to. I used to be able to bring all kind of things in my backseat including some furniture.
Bought my wife the TLX Aspec last year after selling her 13 year old TL, both are incredible car but the TLX has such a nice ride, one thing I like as well is that you don’t see very many on the road compared to the Lexus IS
man I hope that I would never get a new car that have been tested! Because the most important thing that the manufacturer says on their cars manual it’s “do not press the gas pedal more than 50% until you have reached 1000 miles or 500 miles” most of this cars will not last 100,000 miles just because of this.
I can't wait for a 2021 Accord 2.0L sport/Touring compared to 2021 TLX non-type S Technology/Aspec/Advanced packages. Driving dynamics and cabin comparisons. The Accord 2.0L is such a fun zippy affordable reliable sedan but dang the 2021 TLX broader haunches and more sporty back end with a more comfortable premium interior would definitely sway me since I don't need a family-mobile. Accord's more spacious cabin and larger trunk is perfect for those whom need a spunky daily driver to haul the family around yet do not want to jump on the SUV/CUV bandwagon.
Do you guys think the luxury badge is worth the extra $10k in this case? Let us know below!

But I chose the Camry it was a little bigger, Toyota’s are ultimately a bit more reliable, and while I don’t know about this redesigned TLX, but Acura was still using timing belts in their J-Series V6’s. Toyota moved to Timing Chains years ago. That’s important to me. Besides... my fully loaded XSE V6 w/red leather is no slouch!
This isn’t a v6 it’s a turbo 4
Well these are two different segments of cars so the differences in performance and features will be expected. The TLX A-spec is worth the $10,000.00 price difference. But the Camry is a solid buy for what it is. Plus a 2021 Camry XLE v6 should offer enough luxury and appearance in addition to the V6 performance.
looking forward to a comparison between the Acura TLX A-spec and Lexus ES-350.
A comparison between the Mazda 6 signature with the TLX would be interesting too.
“After hoping out off the car” the next day, lol. Or did you have to match the interior of the Acura. 😂 great comparison! For 10,000 I’d wait a few years for a gently used.
lol i also notice that
how do you know its gently used. take the engine and trans apart to know? lol people rag these cars if they lease. its like a rental car to them, for fun. cars that are driven hard isnt really a deal, they're worn out. the metallurgy isnt invincible in the drivetrain as people may think.
No don’t discontinue the V6 that’s what I love about Toyota they still built the V6 while everyone else is killing theirs
Camry v6 over any turbo engine all day. Who cares if the turbos are quicker? They’ll wear out faster...
@@naveenthemachine and Eat your wallet too..... when...it dies and isn't covered by warranty//
@@zolitariglussey6302 yeah. I’m more of an old school modern type of person.
Yeah man. Mazda is putting a turbo 4 cyl on their CX-9. I wonder how that's going to hold up. A turbo 4 cyl on such a big car.
Yea the 3.5 should be in the TLX
I just picked up the 2021 Acura A-Spec TLX SH AWD. METAL STEEL GREY WITH RED LEATHER INTERIOR. IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!
There’s definitely no comparison when it comes to style. That Acura is too nice...
If I had to choose between the two, I’d definitely take the TLX. More stylish and sporty for my liking. My only issue with this Camry in the very long run would be changing the hybrid battery so another reason to take the TLX.
You can get the XSE v6
@ki0ng how so? The 10 speed could be a good design.
ki0ng Maybe, but that would depend on how well it’s maintained, and if there’s any premature issues just like they had with their 5 speeds back in their 2000-2003 TL models that come up.
Even still you spend less on the Camry in the long run. If money was no object to me, for sure I’d take the TLX it just looks so goooood
Hybrid batteries will last a long time if you take care of the car.
14:30 Sofyan is the kind of guy that matches the color of his shirt to the interior of his car
Tlx stands out wayyyy more
That TLX is dopeness!!
reallyyyy
Love Acuras, still driving my 05 RSX type s 😁
TLX is so wide in person. Looks really great
I'm still looking for an 08 6MT Type-S.. hard to find and expensive :(
somewhat of a unicorn. what color?
The way prices are going with the Corolla and Camry XSE trims they are starting to get into the same price range of an entry level Luxury cars (Audi, Mercedes, Lexus,etc). So the real question is is a Corolla worth $25,000...and is a Camry worth $35,000?
No they are not worth it, way overpriced
Their starting prices arent that high. You are talking a FULLY EQUIPPED model vs. A stripped down luxury model. You take your pick. Is a civic type r worth $37,000?
@@q-bert6454 Well if a fully loaded camry (pano sunroof, 360 camera, heads-up display, red leather seats, heated/cooled seats... ETC) with a 3.5L v6 is not worth at 35k, then something like an entry Mercedes C class with no options (no pano sunroof, no 360 camera, no heads-up display, no leather, no heated cooled seats...etc) with a 4 cylinder is DEFINITELY not worth it at 40k. Unless u think a luxury brand logo is worth 20k. Basically u are someone who just thinks any car over ~30k or so is not worth it at all, or u think paying an extra 20k for a logo is worth. pathetic.
@@KogoGaming you can get a slightly used luxury car with those features
@@mssha1980 Doesnt make sense comparing a brand new, 0 miles car purchase with a used car purchase. Plus there's a good reason why luxury brand cars depreciate in price so quickly. These cars maintenance costs and frequency gets ridiculous with slight age.
Get the Acura but if you can afford it, wait for the type S.
Right? It says a lot when the Accord 2.0t, which costs less than the Camry, beats it in a drag race even tho the TLX has more horsepower. I'd definitely wait for the Type-S so it can compete with the Genesis G70😂
SO, I bought the Camry V6 XSE and can say I Love it!!! I wanted the TLX Type S V6 355HP but Acura is dragging their feet and won't put it out!! (March '21??? GMAFB) their loss!! plus I really couldn't do $60K...... thats a Huge chunk of money and a MASSIVE Car Payment!!!
The ES to the TLX would’ve been a much better comparison.
I’d love to look at a lease on a TLX in a couple years when my Arteon lease is up.
Nice, those Arteons are beautiful.
How do you like your Arteon?
How are you liking the Arteon. I'd love one, but not sure on reliability.
Why would you consider an Acura over Arteon? This is an honest question as I like to understand the reason. I think Arteon is way prettier inside and outside & high tech too with digital cockpit, and great build finish. Is the reason the engine output?
@@zeeshanmbutt id say, for most people including myself, I'd would be the perceived reliability and resell value of an Acura over a VW.
When Sofyan closed the door to hear the sound while in the Acura, I quickly thought to myself...."Is he really bout to close the door and mute himself? Then, he kept talking, the audio stayed." Then I thought to myself....."That was pretty damn cool."
Good Review as usual< Great comparison. I did the same comparison myself. I did this on the 2020 Models. The difference with my deal on the TLX 2020 with A Spec and Tech package, compared to the XSE Camry was less than $3000. The TLX had all the standard features included, and items you could not get on Camry. Both were the four cylinder models. After three months of driving, still very happy with my choice.
I would gladly spend the extra $10,000 and have. You get the luxury experience, loaner car when needed, warm cookies in the waiting area and sometimes scheduled maintenance included.
Except the Acura dealer service is shit.
Toyota dealers have warm cookies. I always get a loaner when i take my car in.
You are a Honda fan. there’s no arguing with you
@@davevolz6138 except the warm cookies are better at Acura than the warm cookies at Toyota. They gots white chocolate chip and macadamia nut, not just that chocolate chip BS. Plus Acura has 2% milk, not just skim. You 'miring bruh?
If I have to pick between the two, Camry easily. Most mainstream economy cars are rivaling luxury cars in their top trim nowadays or with brands like Mazda, which imo has an even better interior than both of these. Of course it more fair comparison would be TLX vs ES F Sport or IS350 AWD (which is the one I would get between the 4).
This would be a more interesting comparison if Toyota gave him the base engine with AWD since the TLX can be equipped with AWD
Ahhh the infamous jewel headlights that serve to blind anything and everything on the roads even though they swear they don't. Lol
I'd love to see a TLX vs ES350 comparison
@Harsh Grewal fwd 🤮
TLX and it's not even close. The Acura has a real torque-vectoring rear axle, while the Lexus ES has a fake system that just brakes the inner turning wheel, lol.
@Harsh Grewal ya with that 2005 years interior sure
@Harsh Grewal you sound like a 5 yr old brand ambassador for lexus lmaooo. kid you never even sat in the new tlx so don't talk about it like you know anything. the screen is definitely not flimsy. the interior is 20x better than all the cheap plastic buttons and outdated look the lexus has. the shifter looks like it's from 2005 and the interior design itself is outdated. nothing about the lexus is better except ride quality due to plushier seats. speakers, drive train, adaptive suspension, everything is better in the tlx. i noticed how you didn't respond to the guy who talked about the torque vectoring. cause you know that he's right. lmao.
@Harsh Grewal too bad you'll never get close enough to lexus or tlx. go spit on your toyota camry instead.
This is perfect! I'm considering both considering I work for Acura so reap that benefit, but love toyota and love my 02 camry
The 2020 TLX gauges look identical to my 2002 Acura RSX Type S I once had
New made in Japan 2004 Acura TSX manual now with 89,000 miles puts a smile on my face every time. Hell of a car! You get much better paint, uses 1/2 qt oil every 4 to 5 thousand miles unlike our same engine Civic SI, 1qt per 1500 to 2000 mi. More refined ride, quiet cabin, etc. If you plan to keep it 15 or 20 years it's a no brainer. Considering the TLX base model, wish it was still Japan built.
I think the Maxima would have been a better comparison than the Camry since they are kinda in the same level
That’s to tell you how far the Camry has come.
@@GodsloveMuzik also you can’t compare the maxima to the Camry. The Camry is superior just about every way. And best part. No JATCO cvt in the toyota
Maxima and AVOLON are the same level and classes like Camry to Ultima and ACCORD.....
The Camry is one level entry below, it competes with the Altima, not the Maxima.
Compare the Nissan Maxima to the Toyota Avalon. The Acura TLX is not in the same segment as the Maxima.
I actually like this type of comparisons since it gives you a perspective of a luxury car vs a mainstream brand
Ahh I miss my 91 TL. I installed wood trim all over with a banging ass system.
The new TLX looks pretty good, but nothing about it other than the looks is all that interesting, at least in the more base spec. Will be interesting to see if the Type S is anything special.
BruH, I am looking at these exact two cars for purchase and you review them both haha. Add the IS 350 F Sport and G70/G80 to this as well!
the ISF has a ridiculously small trunk though
I love your reviews bud, keep rocking the work, you're one of my inspirations to do this stuff - From a soon to be youtuber :)
Thank you for NOT calling the exhaust in the Camry as "dual exhaust" like some reviewers do. That irritates me SO MUCH lol. 👍
I'm looking to get an XSE in Blueprint (Gas, 4 cylinder, FWD) with all options except the sunroof. I bought my wife a Lexus RX350 but I'm not interested in Lexus because the rear seats don't fold down. This video cements my decision to buy a main stream car vs luxury.
"The Camry's front fascia, for me, has always been ..." A goddamn nightmare. If you rear-ended someone, you'd never know.
I think it will actually looks better after rear-ending someone.
What are u talking about? It's a really nice front end.
@@crxracer805 Best Toyota design in forever
@@ARUclipsChannelwithNoName I don't understand why people like choosey don't like the front. It's as nice as a Lexus and less extreme.
@@crxracer805 I think it looks gorgeous.
With the black roof and red interior I was drawn to the Camry and the smooth v6 won me over
I totally agree with Sofyan - a very balanced and nuanced review....as a Honda fan I would get Acura;)
I wish this was the Avalon was being compared.
I’m sure he has a good reason why it’s not the Avalon. Maybe he couldn’t get one. And maybe he’ll pair it to the Avalon later. Maybe not. I just try to enjoy the work.
Oh he explained it! Haha I commented before I started watching.
@@joshua9073 lol
Very ugly
Yeah it would be a closer comparison. But that gaping front grille on the Avalon is an eyesore.
Just bought the xse hybrid Camry today for the ex wife and will get the Acura a spec for me next month love them both for different reasons
The ES actually has been based on the Avalon since the 2013 redesign of the ES
IKR but this guy never keeps up to date with anything except his German cars & Teslas.
RedLine Reviews has the BEST Car Reviews hands down... Nice job
You cant go wrong with Honda-Acura or Toyota-Lexus. Just question is Whats your Budget?
It would be nice to see a comparison between this TLX and the Accord Sport 2.0T 10 speed. $15k difference in price, but that Honda Accord is pretty amazing for what you get. The Acura is very nice too. I love them both.
I'd like to see this TLX trim reviewed against the top Nissan Maxima sport trim level
Nissan doesnt compare..dont waste your time and money
For me, I'm all the way going to pick the Acura TLX, but the Camry is not a bad car at all~ I think both cars offer something different in this segment that many people will like. For me, again the Acura TLX blows the Camry XSE out of the water for its cool design, nice interior, and nice driving dynamics, but it is not really a comparison that really makes sense, and depends on what people are looking for. The Camry however is great for practicality and simple use, which I know a lot of people like.
Love the comparison. Currently cross shopping between the Highlander and MDX. The rdx was too small so I’m having to wait for the new MDX.
Wait for the new MDX
But comparing the current MDX vs current Highlander, I’d go Highlander platinum hands down. Especially the hybrid where it gets 35mpg combined vs 26 in the MDX hybrid
Agreed. Honda needs to improve its hybrid technology to keep up with Toyota. Although personally, if you don’t like hybrids, go for the MDX. Honda J-series engines are amazing smooth and very good on gas if your a highway traveler. I get over 32mpg in my 2016 Acura RDX with AWD when I’m on the highway. City mph... that’s a different story.
@@Deadlybroom My 2016 MDX with SH-AWD get 30+ mpg on the highway easily even with 7 bodies and luggage in the vehicle as long as you cruise at 55-65 mph.
@@Deadlybroom I think honda does a good job with their non hybrid i4 cars like the civic and CR-V. I can get 40 mpg city in the 2.0L civic easily at night or low 50's if I try. In the CR-V I've been able to get 35-40 mpg city in chicago suburbs in the afternoon with the 1.5T.
Hey Sofyan!
Great content! I've watched a lot of your videos!
I have a small request: When a car has a deficiency, can you consider incorporating upgrades that a normal person could consider? It would be extremely helpful. What the upgrade is, estimated installation difficulty, and approximate price is all we would need.
I.e. I have a 2015 Subaru Forester and have been upgrading it over time. The main upgrades being speakers, infotainment, leatherette seat covers, led lights in front and rear, and a thicker rear sway bar. I also plan to upgrade the wheels and tires in the near future. I essentially am making it close to a luxury car while keeping the reliability of the vehicle itself.
“Replace the V6 with the Prime Powertrain”
There is no way you just said that Sofyan
You’re literally asking your viewers to unsubscribe. Be careful lol
The NA V6 is what makes the Camry so good. The v6 refinement and smoothness and power delivery is a luxury that is disappearing
I've drove the 21 Accord and Camry. I own a 21 TLX AWD Tech. No comparison! The only complaint I have with the TLX is that I get 21-23 mph with city driving. It is a gorgeous car inside and out! Drives awesome too! I do think the heated steering wheel should be standard on all luxury car brands at all trim levels. 😎
I have an acura tl type s. I love it
I'd pay the extra money, however I would jump to the Type S model if I were in the market.
why is he dragging the camry, it’s still a really nice car
It is nice, especially considering how much cheaper it is than the Acura.
Broke
Would love to see a TLX vs Accord comparison. Also, awesome videos/content.
🙏 👌🏾
I guess it’s just me but I never liked the triangle shapes on Acura. And the badge reminds me of a paper clip holder for chips
It’s not just you, however I like most of the triangles. Hard to find the perfect car design so I’m okay with settling for 90% satisfaction.
I was literally deciding between these two fact two cars and as much as I really want to have the Acura, the Camry’s extra space and ability to use regular gas over premium just gives it the win for me hands down. Plus I’ve owned multiple Hondas, Nissans/infinitis, and looking forward to my first Toyota/Lexus experience
Why compare the TLX with the Camry when the Accord already is superior to the Camry in every facet.
Yes exactly what I was thinking the Accord is just too good right now.
The accord superior to the Camry no way other way around
@@Datsun7705 the manual accord is dead since dec 19
@@jeromep3182 The accord May be sportier but the Camry is more refined w the v6. Also the Camry rides better and some of the tech in the Camry is better done than the acccord or tlx
@@jeromep3182 I agree but how?
The accord may be sportier but the v6 Camry is more smooth and some tech like the hud audio pano roof and 360 cam and a more adjustable passenger seat are better done in the camry
The 2020 Acura TLX was so spacious in the cabin. I hate that they took away all that space when they didn’t need to. I used to be able to bring all kind of things in my backseat including some furniture.
Compare the TLX and the Accord...that would be more in line
I traded my 2019 Honda Accord Sport in a beautiful blue/purple color, for the Acura TLX A-Spec SH-Awd, in that white. No contest.
great job comparing them, it's an easy win for Acura, would be nice to see comparison b/w the TLX and the German rivals.
German Reliability horrible these days.. No thanks
Just get an RLX with deep discount. With nsx drive train concept.
Thankfully there are still people who would rather walk than drive an SUV.
How much discount you got?
@@CoralSea you can get it with a 12k discount or more
@@ricbrown5002 Cool. Thx.
The dash-to-axle ratio on the TLX alone makes it look a LOT better than most FF-based sedans. A longer front end conveys sportiness and luxury.
Can’t wait till reviewers get their hands on the Type-S!
Same here brother. That will be the day! 2021 can not come soon enough.
Absolutely worth it for the Acura. Toyota's Camry and Avalon need major redesigns, especially, God help us, the front of both cars. Yikes!
when will Toyota stop with the piano black? It makes the interior look cheap and dated.
When will Acura stop with batman front ends?? It looks cheap and outdated 💩😀
Bought my wife the TLX Aspec last year after selling her 13 year old TL, both are incredible car but the TLX has such a nice ride, one thing I like as well is that you don’t see very many on the road compared to the Lexus IS
Why don’t I understand this comparison? The New Lexus ES is based on the Avalon now.
Because you didn't hear the first sentence that came out of his mouth. He only had a Camry available.
A fairly good comparison, liked the video.
How daaaaaree youuu.... there's no comparison between those two. Lol
Camry all the way
man I hope that I would never get a new car that have been tested! Because the most important thing that the manufacturer says on their cars manual it’s “do not press the gas pedal more than 50% until you have reached 1000 miles or 500 miles”
most of this cars will not last 100,000 miles just because of this.
why don't you compare accord sport with Lexus?
@Richard Favreau but the Accord is quicker 0-60 than an IS350 F-sport though
that wont make sense for That lexus because is about 20k extra and doesn't worth it.
Because lexus is outdated
@@That1lowaccord faster then a hell cat?
I can't wait for a 2021 Accord 2.0L sport/Touring compared to 2021 TLX non-type S Technology/Aspec/Advanced packages. Driving dynamics and cabin comparisons. The Accord 2.0L is such a fun zippy affordable reliable sedan but dang the 2021 TLX broader haunches and more sporty back end with a more comfortable premium interior would definitely sway me since I don't need a family-mobile. Accord's more spacious cabin and larger trunk is perfect for those whom need a spunky daily driver to haul the family around yet do not want to jump on the SUV/CUV bandwagon.
BMW X1 vs Mazda CX-5 signature would be an interesting review
