Because those German suvs are priced significantly higher than this list. As I experienced, BMW, Audi also performers a lot better than this list. But not as reliable after 5 years though.
Nice review! I have the 2021 Lexus RX 350 in atomic silver and I love it!!!! My bottom line was reliability and resale value as mentioned as well. You can’t go wrong with most Lexus models. ❤️
Thanks for the great review! Proud owner of 2012 MDX. Never had any issue with the car during 10 year ownership. Plan to get the 2022 Type - S version for my wife soon.
These are right up my alley! Best in class..value for money..built to last..low maintenance..whip appeal..daily drivers..all wheel drives...etc!!!!!!💯💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇯🇲
Thank you for this video. We are original owners of a 2003 Acura MDX with 219,000 miles. This thing is a workhorse for sure. No major mechanical issues. Original motor, transmission etc.Not sure why I’ve had 3 cracked motor mounts over the 19 yrs. Maybe it’s me 🙃😬 We would drive it until the tires came off but now concerned with the lack of updated safety equipment. Only two airbags….driver/passenger. I will be replacing it this years for another MDX. I love Acura.
You mentioned very important point about the safety. The car's safety construction revolutionized after 2015 in SORB accidents. cars before that used to get smashed with only 65Km up the wheel being displaced and preventing the airbag protect the head. Now they are much safer. In the industry they say even a 2017 Corolla is much safer than a 2012 Mercedes AMG because of progress in the safety features of the new cars.
I have had a few MDX's and my current one is coming end of lease. I've considered going to an X5 or GV80 but I keep coming back to value for dollar and it's hard to move away from the MDX. Going to be pre-ordering the Type-S soon
First of all u spelled infiniti wrong and secondly the GV80 should be 3rd at least, but yeah you're right Lexus/Toyota aren't known to be the most spacious compared to their rivals. My family sold our 07 CRV & got a 2018 Rav4 & it just doesn't feel as roomy as the CRV
The Lexus GX is the only real off-load SUV in the review. It is also bomb proof, put gas and oil in it and they run a long, long time, with very little mechanical or electrical issues. The V-8 engine is underpowered and very thirsty, but the ride is surprising comfortable and well mannered for a body-on-frame vehicle. It will keep rolling and be on the road, long after all other vehicles on the list are assigned to the junk heap. I recently test drove a Genesis GV80 3.5L, the ride was comfortable and compliant, acceleration acceptable, interior design and quality better than average, but the long term durability undetermined. I drive 32-35K per year, and have to tow a horse trailer on occasion, so durability and reliability are very important. Gas mileage on the GV80 AWD is not great, around 20 mpg combined city/highway. But what concerned me was it was not body-on-frame, which affects long-term durability and also when the sales rep informed me that "some of the vehicles even lasted 100k miles". I put that kind of mileage on in less than three years, and the Lexus GX routinely get 300-350k miles relatively trouble free. I prefer the Lexus LX over the GX, but admittedly, there is a large price jump between the two, with both models enjoying tremendous reputations for reliability and dependability, and therefore best resale values of virtually any vehicles sold. It is a matter of priorities. I purchased a BMW 540XI with M Sport package for my wife and test drove a BMW X7 for one week. BMW are performance based vehicles, with tons of tech, that an old geezer like myself, will likely never use or even learn to command. I prefer a simpler, less tech based vehicle, one that is more mechanical and therefore, more reliable, more dependable and capable of driving high mileage without constant and very costly visits to the repair shop. Nothing beats a normally aspirated V8 for long term reliability, dependability, and engine sound.
My wife and I are both 65+ and will be purchasing an SUV that will hopefully last a good long time. From your review can I take it that the Lexus GX would be a strong consideration for us.
I own the 2010 Acura MDX Advance. It's nearly 12 years old but like new inside and out with just under 42,000 miles. Since I am 78 years old, I doubt I'll ever buy another vehicle. My 2010 is still not really outdated very much as it has adaptive suspension, collision mitigation braking system, blind spot detection, bluetooth streaming, and even a hard drive to download CDs and navigation updates. Never had any problem with it. Best vehicle I've ever owned.
Great review! I own a 2011 Acura MDX, and still running strong 12 years later with 180k miles on it. No major issues. I did get a 2023 Tesla Y for our city car and love it so far. Will most likely downsize to a RDX as the MDX is so much bigger now.
2 issues with the Acura, the info system is updated by not touch screen…then the placement of the rear wiper, still at the bottom, those tend to break all the time. Big Lexus was updated a few years ago, but very old look interior…
Thank you. Ordered 2023 MDX, first luxury vehicle for me. Checked Volvo, Lexus, bmw, Mercedes, and so on. Felt MDX is more value for money and a good one. Your video was one of the reason that we picked. It was very hard to pass on Hyundai Palisade though. Waiting to receive the MDX next week and the touch pad makes me nervous. Hopefully we will like it.
I bought my wife the ACURA RDX A-SPEC, what a great car! If it’s that good I can only imagine the MDX! I didn’t want to drive it because I know I would of bought the MDX, was looking to buy great at a great price, and I did it in the RDX, maybe the MDX in the next car shopping!!
I have a 2018 Volvo XC90 and I LOVE LOVE 💕 her!! I’m meticulous about my cars so I keep them in like new condition. When it’s times to get a new one, I will definitely be looking for another Volvo or a Mercedes!! I love driving Mercedes…. The seats are amazing. Just like my Volvo. They don’t call them the safest cars on the road for nothing:)
Great review my friend. A buddy of mine got some BMW model which is very nice with high-end features. It would actively control Lane centering to the point of going around corners with will marked lines. Something that I really liked. But what I didn't like was owning a vehicle that could "statistically" be more apt to leave you stranded on the side of the road. I am about a week out on getting my RX 350. I wish it had more advanced technology, but it is indeed very comfortable and "Toyota" reliable! I have a RAV4 and a Yaris that I absolutely love. Both basically 11 years old and almost nothing but maintenance. 200,000 miles is a cinch! Not to mention my 1984 4 x 4 truck. The last of the straight axles. It was a no-brainer for me. So yeah, I have ants in my pants royally LOL.
We just traded our 2010 MDX and bought a 2019 Lexus RX 350. MDX has a poor reliability track record according to Consumer Reports... it's a mess. Acura was nice but they didn't treat us right with a known defect with gradually burning oil... they wanted me to pay $2K to fix their defect. No thank you. Also... watch for transmission issues with the MDX. Toyota/Lexus for the win in reliability... and man what a nice ride!
The new BMW X5 B58 platform which is 2017 going forward is a pretty durable and reliable suv for a European brand. You should really consider it on your list.
@@gofer23mw That's great. Congratulations.Hope y'all enjoying the new ride. My wife and I gave our eldest daughter our 2014 mdx to have while in school out of state. We tend to only buy Honda and Toyota cars and trucks. All have been great vehicles.
I will buy the HYUNDAI PALISADE.... maybe not on the same level as these 5 cars, but based on price value on its safety and tech features, comfortability, spacious 3rd row seats, plus 10 year warranty, I'd go for PALISADE. My 2nd choice is Lexus but its interior is too outdated, boring.
I paid $58K for a MDX in 2014 and sold it for $24k in 2019, lost almost 60% resale value in 5 years and the main reason is there was a transmission problem after the buyer tested it that I did not find. Was attracted by these number #1 or 2 ranking comparisons to it, does not work for me.
Great review! I honestly feel hesitant about owning the Genesis. Hyundai/Genesis as well as Kia had to recall hundreds of thousands of their vehicles again this year because of engine problems. This is nothing new as this brand has had the issue before. Even professional mechanics and car enthusiasts have admitted that Hyundai tried too hard to push for a luxury brand to compete with its German and Japanese competitors. The result was a disastrous auto engineering, hence, why it has a 10-year warrant for its cars. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in November of 2020 that Hyundai and Kia would have to pay $137 million to cover fines and safety improvements so they remedy the engine issue.
@@lane5686 No problem! Acura's aren't quite as trouble-free as Lexus, but definitely much safer than European luxury brands. The 3.5L Honda V6 in the MDX is a solid engine.
Totally agree with you. I bought a brand new 2021 Kia Sorrento X-Line and the transmission went out 5 months later with only 2200+ miles. Staying away from Kia/Hyundai/Genesis
@@dtuliao I am so sorry you had to go through that. Nonetheless, thank you for being so opened about such an experience. It sheds light to their engines compared to the Japanese competitors.
Hi, Mazda is not in the luxury arena! The company said they were stepping up to be a “premium” brand which is better than economy but still not quite luxury. Some of Mazda’s designs look even better than some luxury cars so they’re doing a good job with it. Hope this helped!
Unfortunately there’s no data presented to support anything you say. It seems like you’re reciting a conglomeration of marketing materials and reviews. It just sounds like every other marketing video out there. You’re production value is great tho!
My thought exactly about the Aviator and also the Nautilus. Just wish that the Nautilus had the self parking and also the hidden rear wiper like the Aviator. Nautilus like my MKX has a nice profile too. Now if only it also incorporated the Genesis blind spot camera monitoring feature instead of only in the mirror with a dot. Maybe best to simply keep the MKX.
Sometime I wonder what’s wrong with German automobiles. None of the big German brands like Merc, BMW, Audi, Porsche made this list. Best value and reliable cars are all made in Japan.
If you are not keeping long-term then lease the one you like best or is the better deal. Both are excellent SUVs that are hard to fault. If you need that third row then get the Infiniti.
All of these are great, but surprised not to see Tesla in the mix. After owning them, I find it inconvenient to go back to non-electric. I'm seriously having a hard time picking another car. Maybe Rivian? The only maintenance I've had is filling up washer fluid and changing tires. I recently went to a gas station to swap out my grill propane cylinder... don't miss that scene ;). Nice list otherwise... the Genesis would be my choice. Won't work for those who are brand concious, but that thing has the Bentley Bentayga vibes. Wish it were electric.
Would love to get the MDX but really want to get a Hybrid or PHEV SUV. Honda/Acura seem to be behind in this area in the Canadian market eg CRV hybrid NA in Canada. Any insight or prediction on when Acura plans to introduce a Hybrid or PHEV version of the MDX?
The real SUV at a great price will be the Jeep Grand Cherokee 2022 model - the luxurious interior with offroad capability and comfort beats all the 5 SuVs.
FYI ... the Mercedes 2023 GLC 300 4MATTIC SUV has been increased in price by $3,350.00 over the 2022 model. I think Mercedes is getting very greedy and they will lose many new customers as they will refuse the pay this ridiculous increase and look for other SUV models.
Looks like there was a very blinkered view of what to review as there were multiple choices for Lexus for example. Where was the Volvo XC90, BMWX5 , Audi Q7, Mercedes cars. A very one sides slant on cars and not a list of the top 5. The Volvo won the best 7seat SUV in the states in another review. Not a mention here. Makes me wonder about bias.
Not as reliable as Lexus or Acura, but safer than European brands like BMW, Audi or Mercedes. Genesis also has a longer warranty and covers maintenance visits which helps. If you plan to own beyond 8-10 years, Lexus is best.
@@kristians2704 Toyota is a 'car that's overrated for its reliability'?! And what data do you have to support your (quite ridiculous) claim? First of all it's simply not true, second - to each his own, as they say, if you want many years of trouble free owning with minimal expenses and yes, exceptional reliability, then get 'toyota product', but if you want the latest bells and whistles, then off course stick with Germans, but don't drive too far away from the nearest repair shop and always have a lot of cash to leave in that shop. The choice is yours.
His review is based on luxury,reliability,resale and performance. That’s why most suv are not listed. To me genesis shouldn’t have been part of it. Acura cars all the best!! MDX
1) Acura MDX
2) Genesis GV80
3) Lexus RX
4) Lexus GX460
5) Infiniti QX60
Surprised no Germans on this list.
Genesis ahead of Lexus? You must be on crack
Gv80 best👍🏻

FYI ... the Mercedes 2023 GLC 300 4MATTIC SUV has been increased in price by $3,350.00 over the 2022 model.
I think Mercedes is getting very greedy and they will lose many new customers as they will refuse the pay this ridiculous increase and look for other SUV models.
Looks like there was a very blinkered view of what to review as there were multiple choices for Lexus for example. Where was the Volvo XC90, BMWX5 , Audi Q7, Mercedes cars. A very one sides slant on cars and not a list of the top 5. The Volvo won the best 7seat SUV in the states in another review. Not a mention here. Makes me wonder about bias.
Hi I am looking for Santa fe hybrid limited any suggestions which was best hybrid svu?
Get the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. Much better built. Santa Fe Hybrid sucks in quality.
@@markkrispin6944 which trim you will suggest ?
Right now I am using Honda Accord 2020 touring 2.0T
@@mrabhikrishna any trim is good I believe. Toyota is the "King of the Hybrid".
@@markkrispin6944 but I am not an big fan of interior of Toyota any other suggestions?
@@markkrispin6944 mostly I am think limited Santa fe hybrid
Where's the Volvo XC90?????
MDX midsize?
They are not SUVs ...but crossovers
Is the Genesis really reliable?
Not as reliable as Lexus or Acura, but safer than European brands like BMW, Audi or Mercedes. Genesis also has a longer warranty and covers maintenance visits which helps. If you plan to own beyond 8-10 years, Lexus is best.
I’m gonna bet it’s not gonna be
@@carhelpcorner that’s not true, Genesis is more reliable than Acura
Yes they are way more reliable than Lexus and Acura.
@@carhelpcorner Dude, where's your source to back your claim?
You forgot to include the NIO es8.
Really.
Disappointed with mdx, too many gear changes
QX60 my first pick.
You sound like such a troll...
@@alexandergoldman Canceled the 2nd comment, that’s too personal n emotional. Apologize!
All good!
Again, just get a Toyota product and end all of your anxiety and misery
Can't go wrong with Lexus
get a toyota product and have an outdated, boring car that's overrated for its reliability
@@kristians2704 Toyota is a 'car that's overrated for its reliability'?! And what data do you have to support your (quite ridiculous) claim? First of all it's simply not true, second - to each his own, as they say, if you want many years of trouble free owning with minimal expenses and yes, exceptional reliability, then get 'toyota product', but if you want the latest bells and whistles, then off course stick with Germans, but don't drive too far away from the nearest repair shop and always have a lot of cash to leave in that shop. The choice is yours.
Hyundai has better reliability than Toyota. Try something new for once.
@@kristians2704 you don't buy a car for for its technology.....you buy a car to get around....
His review is based on luxury,reliability,resale and performance. That’s why most suv are not listed.
To me genesis shouldn’t have been part of it.
Acura cars all the best!! MDX
They're reliable. That's why they on the list. Just because you don't like Hyundai, don't mean Genesis is the same as that evans.
