Which one do you like the most? Clarification: those at the Bottom for Q5 aren't fog lights, adaptive sensors. This trim we had doesn't come with cooling seats. You can purchase them separately, which of course cost more money.

I would choose Acura as a daily driver, interior looks nice and a really reliable car

I like both but I have always been an Acura fan because of their reliability.

So in love with my 2019 RDX. very good handling, sh-AWD is a beast, and the style is so fabulous. Good trunk space too.

Thanks for comparing these two. You saved me the time to test drive the Q5. It will be the RDX Advanced for me. SHAWD can't be beat.

Acura nailed the hot bodystyle!

I am loving these comparisons. Keep them coming bud.

The acura has a feature that no European luxury car has, that is reliability

Acura is a winner. Audi is less reliable.

Acura RDX is the best

Acura (buy) Audi (lease)

So glad I just got my Acura RDX. Way difference in durability

Крутые тачки!) Acura the best.

RDX looks, performs better and more reliable in long term ownership.

HANDLING: The ACURA RDX has Super Handling AWD which has better torque vectoring capabilities than the AUDI Q5. Overall I'd take the RDX. Its build quality/reliability ia excellent and has some features I prefer such as the SH-AWD.

Fantastic review mate. I like these comparisons, they are good options.

This is only the ASpec package....the advanced package absolutely kills this Audi.

I have an 2017Sq5 and it’s performance at full throttle is great. Drives much smaller the harder you drive it,throttle response, brakes stops hard. 0-60 IS VERY UNDERATED. The bad is the BRAKES at light driving! Awful to modulate at stop & go with a big gap before the pads suddenly grab. Tried bleeding & bringing it back to the dealer, paying the dealer to bleed it. Everytime I was told "the brakes are within spec" which tells me they built this in. The gas mileage is poor. I drive a 50/50 mix in Boston area (worst rated traffic in the USA) I get an average of 19mpg. This is a great performance SUV with good luxury amenities . It is heavy(4500 lbs) weight, bad low speed brakes & price. Combined with a suspect long term reliability I’d go for the RDX next time.

The RDX is badass! The Q5 needs a serious makeover.

I have an ‘06 MDX that’s still going strong at 225K miles. Will wait for the RDX Type S to possibly replace.

Rdx for me is better, less price and high quality and smooth ride, Also the price after use is better. I am from kuwait

I love my 2019 Acura RDX minus the infotainment system lord it needs an update. Other than that im in Love!!!

KZfaq: how many comparisons can you film? Sam:Yes

No sitting in the back seats for the RDX? Would like consistency in a review, otherwise great review!

Can never go wrong with the RDX A-Spec JDM for the win Also the focus of the camera is tripping with my head when it’s not controlled but good video.

Waiting on my 2021 RDX aspec

If you want the hands free power tail gate on the RDX you have to get the advance package. I wished I had it on my MDX

The RDX Advance trim makes up the areas you mentioned were better on the Q5. Power lift gate with foot swipe to open, more comfortable seats, 360 camera, shocks that get stiffer in sport mode, etc. Q5 definitely has the better cluster, especially the full digital in the higher trims. Brakes are better on the Q5. Worth driving both for anyone considering these two still in 2024.

Gotta focus your videos man, but great content!

Actually, The RDX Advance package does have the rear tailgate foot release. You can open the truck by sliding your foot under the car.

2:25 well I would get mine with the Sport-Ass Package that's for sure!

i’d buy Acura for Reliability and that turbo 4 cylinder😍😍

Though stated at start of video that the RDX was mid-level trim and the Audi is top of the line, should remind viewers of that during comparison as you point out features the RDX lacks that the Audi has. Because the RDX is in large part a value proposition, it makes most sense to compare it to its competitors’ equivalent trim levels. The top level RDX has significantly more features (e.g. better sound insulation, hands free tailgate opening, 10.5in HUD, 16 way adjustable front seats, etc). Also didn’t clarify how big of a price difference between the vehicles or talk about the huge difference in interior space.

RDX RDX RDX

My RDX does have 360 camera, Nav, RDX does have the touchless foot active rear door. The RDX does have acoustic glass on the top trim (quieter than the A-spec. The RDX also has real leather and wood on the Advance trim. the A spec isn't the Tech Advance model

I'm really considering getting the rdx a-spec

Good video m8

9:47 Did you just shift into reverse instead of drive?? I'm still shocked at how many people can get confused by such a simple, labeled shifter.

You do well with your car knowledge but you seriously need to work on your camera and editing skills man. Good luck!

I am liking all these comparisons man. I have one I would like to see X7 vs Palisade. Or the G class vs the SVr

Just got my 2020 a-spec today. Really satisfied overall ........... but I still want a bmw x7 lol

You seem very biased. I notice you have the front seat in the Audi adjusted further forward when compared to the RDX. You do this to make the Audi look roomier. You also have the lighting very dim on the RDX not showing the interior very well or the roof. How can you say the rear seats in the Audi hold you in. Rear seats are not bolstered to hold you in. You can clearly see how flat they are. Correction for you, update the software in the RDX and you will see Android auto. It was added for 2020. The A spec RDX also has Acura navigation with GPS linked climate control but you of course didn't mention this. RDX crushes Q5 in cargo room and you barely mentioned it. The Q5 also has fake exhaust. You also don't mention super handling awd on the RDX. You also said the Audi came in second place, if there are only two cars being compared of course the loser will come in second. The fog lights are not at the bottom for the Audi. Those are radar sensors. You can also get the 360 camera, heads up display, rear camera washer, 4 roof mounted speakers, heated steering, active rear foot release, rear heated seats, 2 USB connectors and it will still be less than the Audi. Why couldn't you find the drive button. "D" means drive in any car. C'mon bro be fair and unbiased with your reviews.

Acura all day everyday. Built like a rock. Audi is nice but reliability SUCKS!!

Audi is better but more expensive to fix once it’s starts giving you issues as German cars are know for reliability issues nowadays . Acura the better choice in price and reliability.

Acura wins in my book!

My sister has this Q5 and does have cooling seats. It's extra, which is again more money. But I am surprised with the S package it didn't come. I am shocked that I can by the second top trim from Acura and less money. My sis wont be happy lol

Q5 looks like he was cramped while driving even though he was partial to it. Acura all the way

RDX RDX RDX much better and reliable

Acura all day. Audi sucks at reliability

No comparison.... RDX much better and reliable

Hi the Q5 seat can be adjusted to get different heights so that can't be a disadvantage..

Forgot to say that Audi saloon smells)

Is is that hard to push a button to go to Drive?

I think we can't even compare these cars anymore because of the price difference... The Q5 technik with S line Sport Package is almost $10k more than the Rdx Aspec

Its Alcantara not suede

if the audi brand wasnt such unreliable u could actually compare them equally , but German brands are all now way not reliable , repair bill beyond mention is why theyr all leased..

It's "cabin noise", not "noise cabin." I prefer the RDX over the Q5 as I think it will be more reliable and much cheaper to maintain. It looks better to me as well.

You are the professional and you have been in a hundred times more cars than I have, so what's the winner? You didn't even say

Bruh this isn’t fair at all, you are comparing the top trim Audi with a mid trim RDX.

Audi has no fog lights

My 2020 has both Apple CarPlay and android auto!

Comparing second rows are really helpful, so I was excited to see the reviewer compare them... up until he didn't. Review was not substantive and the camera work was shit.

I like your video but you did not talk about fuel economy

I guess fuel economy is not that great of RDX. Only weak point !?

Acura’s rear turn signal is not LED

ACURA!!!RDX👍

audi stop hiding the damn exuast tips and acura get rid of the out of place stripe on the side

Seems this guy likes Audi!

Acura > Audi If you care about reliability and resale value that is.

I am here to see the Audi fans trash Acura

RDX 2020 DOES have Android play

Fyi - I don't believe those are fog lights on the Q5, they are sensors

RDX all day. That Q5 will soon be burning oil, or doing something else that's expensive and irritating.

How tall are you?

I love acura but there is something I love about the audi. The smell.

You said the RDX showed 75dB and then later said the Q5 showed 73dB. Then you said it was the same??? Wrong. Then you said you thought the Q5 was quieter (because it is!) but you never figured it out. Trust your ears! I just drove both of these cars yesterday and agree with most everything you said. Q5 was definitely quieter. But the seat in the Q5 was way too narrow and the left side bolster was pressing into my left leg so much my leg still hurt the next day. I drove a Q5 Prestige trim with the ventilated seats and they were the least comfortable seats of all 5 cars I test drove yesterday....which sucks because other than that I loved the Q5 and would buy it but the seat is a non-starter.

Why didn’t he get in the backseat of the Acura? That really annoyed me!

You review info are wrong with RDX. 2020 RDX does have Android auto. And doesn't have spare tire with Aspec Only. And is not touch screen.. So many info wrong

Audi is Nice but rdx is ugly

This entire comment section is an Acura fanpage

audi bias review you alway mention the audi's pros to the rdx's cons

Dear people in the comments, we you get a luxury car please expect to spend a boat load of money to fix any thing. So if you are complaining about $ look somewhere else. For you Acura lovers, check out a Handa SUV. And Audi lovers, check out a VW SUV. Thank you good night. And oh those are expensive to maintain. So..... just walk to work.

Q5 is made in mexico so it’s crap. MAGA

Acura shouldn't even be considered luxury. I test drove a tlx the other day and it was not only ugly, but drove like a Honda. The Q5 blows the Acura out of the water

Sukh Brar is correct. If you drive them both for an hour or even 30 minutes you will see the Audi is better. I actually drove them both back to back. The Audi Q5 feels more refined, it's quieter and the engine is a lot smoother and feels more premium. He mentioned that the Audi and the Acura has the same decibel readings which is false. At the 13:17 mark of the video he mentioned the Acura has a reading of 75 db. At the 19:21 mark of the video he mentioned the Audi has a reading of 73 db. But yet he said they're both are the same decibel readings even though he did say the Audi feels like it's a lot quieter, that's because it is quieter. He must be getting paid by Acura. The Acura is a nice vehicle but it was a lot noisier and the engine feels unrefined compared to the Audi and Audi has been doing turbos for a very long time and perfected the 2.0 turbo that every manufacturer tries to copy. Acura/ Honda just recently got into doing turbo. If you drive them both back to back you will see what I mean.

omg you need a new camera...

Honestly, I think the Audi looks much better.

You are saying Audi wrong

Stopped watching soon as he said he didn't have a 2020 Audi.

Acura owners are triggered, Audi owners are mad asf

Q5 is faster than RDX despite Horse Powers...

The RDX interior is absolutely FUGLY. The exterior isn't much better, either. The Q5 is gangster as hell.

VW has shitty engines, period

Acura suck and that all

Acura is okay, audi is 100 and 1000 and million times better, phenominal and magnificent.

Something the Acura can never have that the Audi has ...it's "status"...not even close to Audi. Audi vs Bmw vs Benz...nothing else compares.

Drive them both for an hour and you will never go with the RDX

Acuras interior looks so cheap man

No thank you, Honda, I'll take the Audi Q5 Technik SLine it's not even close.
