No one: RDX driver: “let’s fold the mirrors to help me win”

Love this! Kinda bummed we had to bounce before you shot this Sam, but damn that GV70 can move. Great video, the sheer joy of everyone on camera was a delight.

Why did she just launch the Audi better than him? 😂😂

I'm betting on the GV70

That GV70 is sick! So debating trading in my Stinger. Awesome vid!

The G70 looks great with that color, beautiful!

I dont understand why you are posting the clips of bad launches. You have the cars, make every clip as equal as possible. The girl launched the audi better than you.

Man you drag race everyday and still cant get right 🤣😂🤣 the lady needs to drive for you 😂

Even when the flagman tried to take the show, the audi’s owner was one of the best expressions so far lol “oh my god! X3”

GV70 is impressive, as is the new 3.5t. From what I’ve seen it also delivers on the quality and luxury front. Well done, Genesis.

The gv70 is definitely my next vehicle

We've been waiting for this forever and you delivered. Thank you 😊

My vote is with the GV70 as long as it is the 3.5TT model. If so the real competition for it is the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, BMW X3 and Mercedes GLC 43.

I need to buy Sam CarLegion T-shirt, hat or something, you are becoming more popular than Motor Trend and Car & Driver!?! I’ve owned 8 different Cars, most from your channel, and I just now got a New Audi SQ5 due to this video. 😂 these car companies should endorse your channel. Thanks again Sam!

I have been waiting for this one, very exciting.

Genesis looks awesome and drives even better

Definitely was messy! Can’t believe the driver from the genesis pulled out the driver from the RDX and start beating the guy!!! Then the Audi driver helps out too .. OMG 😱 best race yet!! 🐐

hey Sam i just want to say thank you soooooo much i set a reminder for your video on the trackhawk&bmwX5M . im sooooo happy thank you soooo much i appreciate it i cant wait to watch it i luv the channel congrats on all ur subscribers keep up the vids they r awesome👌💯💯💯🙏🙌

Great video. I love all 3 SUV's. I have a 21 RDX A SPEC. Can you tell what us what the owner of the RDX did for his tune? I would love to know. I want to tune mine too. Acura definitely needs to make a Type S in RDX...

I most certainly can’t wait to see this matchup. I’ll be watching with a bias towards the GV70

The GV70 is just stunning. It looks way better than the other 2 and has more character and style.

Wow that was interesting...so there is enough room to do a 3 way drag. 😈😈😈😈 I love how the Genesis looks

I’m an Audi person, but I honestly didn’t know the Genesis was that quick. It’s crazy that with every gear change, you can actually see the gap get wider and wider.👏🏾

I was impressed at how well the RDX launched ahead of the other two even though they pulled ahead. To educate the moronic comments about how the RDX loosing... the RDX is not direct competition to the SQ5 or GV70TT in either price/segment since it's $20000-$30000 CAD less than the other two. The direct comparison would be against 4 banger turbos like the Audi S5, BMW X3, etc. The tune for the RDX is pretty cheap & easy power since the Ktuner can be purchased for around $600-$650 and is a simple ECU flash with no additional modifications required to air intake or exhaust. Just watched the entire video, Sam states the RDX makes 350-360 hp but that's not true, he probably mis-spoke since it makes around 315hp with the stage 2 ktuner ECU flash.

The genesis gv70 and the sq5 are my favorites

8:06 “that means I’m heat soaking” wtf 😂 you must have been heat soaking the whole time lol

Sam it's not more expensive then the SQ5. If you'll get the SQ5 with all the packages that the GV70 comes with you will spend 81240$. And still the GV70 is a nicer 🚗.

Genesis , Kia, and Hyndae are dominating the competition

Love It, have any more on SQ5?

The RDX needs a type S, Genesis is killing it, did Audi performance competitor in this class in.

WoooooooooooooW 😍 Unbelievable to see gv70 among the race, that what i was waiting for. Genesis is my favorite ♥️♥️

How come this guys always gets the weight of the vehicles wrong. Before it was the mustang now its the Audi SQ5. Those Audi's are 4300-4400 lbs. No way they are 4079 lbs unless they removed the entire back seats.

Way to go Genesis!🤙👍👍👍🏆

I got the 2.5 GV70 two months ago. I live high in the Rocky Mountains and the Genesis is just a dream. Great in the snow and I can pass slow moving vehicles easily. Just a fun, fun car! Solid and quiet.

How about a stock 2019 acura rdx vs 2018 alfa romeo stelvio vs 2021 kia sportage 2.5 T 0-60 race and a quarter mile ? Wouldn't that be very close ?

Acura really needs an RDX Type S, that GV70 is impressive

I can’t tell but are you guys using launch control?

It's a nice comparison even though Acura RDX is not on the level, a RDX Type S would be very nice if Acura had one, what I'll like to see a comparison of GV70, GLC 43 and X3 M40i.

Gv70 looking like 👍🏾 a good lease option for me next and exhaust sounds amazing

Nice race!. When can I see the ecoboost mustang smash the GLI I have been waiting hehe. and the accord vs TLX TYPE S

Awesome video Sam!!

Love the racing videos

The Acura did very good for being 4 cyl but still it’s going to need more stuff to keep up with turbocharged 6 cyl, where is the RDX type S Acura ? 🥴😂

Is this fair comparison? 375hp vs 314hp?? 3.5v6 vs. 2.0 v4???

What were the times? Just curious

Oh for the first time we had a lady racer I LOVED IT. Please invite more ladies if you can thanks

Can you also provide horsepower per ton? That would help better imo

Acura has gotten way too relaxed over the years. They need to be careful and start bringing back their "A" game again.

What is the name of that song in the beginning?

When I saw the car that Sam is driven, I already know what car is going to lose 🤭

Hey when you line up all the cars on the 1st race u need to start in SPORT OR SPORT PLUS BECAUSE after a few runs the cars will have really bad HEAT SOAKING ISSUES..best performance is 1st and 2nd runs

Acura needs a Type S RDX for its next gen. I understand they go for handling and reliability not just raw power But we would all like for them to do more in regards to power.

Can you do 2015 passat tsi vs bmw 320i

OMG... was that GV70 tunned?? i cant believe that GV70 beats SQ5...

@9:08 - WOW ! 😃 on the 4th run those SUV’s were “neck & neck” !

Can anyone please tel if there's an engine issue when the Gv70 downshifted

The flag guy noticed too, perfect launch on the last drag 👏🏾

KIA,Hyundai and Genesis doing big thing’s

GV70 was amazing! Wow! My wife has the Audi Q5 but the S line. I have a G70 did you race those?

I think the Audi will most likely take the win... GV70 gets my heart

6:45 my reaction to the race 😭🤣🤣🤣

Great video 👍🏾 I’m glad I’d purchased the GV70

Nice video but I agree with previous comments let’s get a 2022 Volvo XC 60 with Polestar tune in there. I’m pretty sure it beats the Audi and gives the genesis a very good race especially off the line.

I have a ‘23 RDX and love it. However, I feel like the MDX with the 3.0 liter twin turbo option would have been a better comparison for this video. Not sure if that was available two years ago.

Did you all use the launch control with the Genesis?

Thank hyundai for forcing car makers not to be able to sell u a name brand only

honda in house 10 speeds is good, but when come to high hp and torque performance it cuts power between multiple gears change. Wow! that RDX first gear is aggressive 💥🔥

Phenomenal sir!

I was waiting for GV70 to come out, but it was taking too long, so I purchased SQ5 in March this year. Well...

Give that RDX a Type S! I know they will next generation

How does the Honda 2.0 compete with the genesis 3.3?

Genesis are really stepping it up. I'd take the GV over the Audi any day. I traded my 2016 Accord Coupe V6 Touring for a 2019 G80 Sport. Love it

How a drag race can be so boring, and I'm not talking about the cars.........

That GV70 looks absolutely gorgeous. It turns head anywhere you go wow

id be interested to see what that rdx would be like with full bolt ons, a type r turbo, and the tune

This should be a big wake-up call to manufacturers making boring ugly vehicles (cough Toyota) that people want stylish powerful, not crazy, bit powerful vehicles that don't cost an arm and a leg and are reliable.

If Maximum Verstappen, Sergio Perez, and Red Bull-Honda win the 2021 World Driver’s and Constructor’s Championship, then I will buy an Acura RDX and sell my Merc.

What is that gv70 rear number plate? Looks like arabic

Hey team, Thx for the review - Well done!! The GV70 offers a wide variety of modes for the driver to enjoy. As I approach 60 yrs old (and I'm a bit of a car guy) I totally love the luxury & comfort side of vehicles BUT also what to turn it up when I can. This GV70 3.5TT should really be about $20-$50K higher priced. It simply does everything really well and is 2nd to none is this segment when it comes to ride quality, comfortness, quietness all while surrounding the occupants with massive luxury features. It is called the baby Bentayga for many reasons. It is so quiet & refined when you want it to be - When you're stuck in traffic or going no where fast. My wife asked me if it was an EV as it was so quiet. Those double paned windows really make a huge difference. Plus the massaging seat is nice!! When you want to drive spiritedly switch it into Sports + mode and you easily hear the roar of the engine and the sweet exhaust notes while enjoying the rear wheel driving bias sporty experience. In comparison, the RDX A Spec it an excellent top rated vehicle but that engine is super noisy vs the GV70 and its a much more stiffer ride. Plus I wasn't impressed with the 0-60 time of 6.4 seconds to the GV 70's of 5.7 (4.9 seconds in the V-6). And the RDX weighs 450 lbs less. Its the luxury components/options, higher tech, standard features & options, the ride quality (can be extremely quiet & smooth AND aggressive and sweet exhaust notes) that makes this GV 70 THE clear winner in segment. Overall the CLEAR winner for me the is the GV70 3.5TT in Sport trim level. I'll take it in that Gorgeous Mauna Red exterior colour with 2 tone interior combination please:-) In Canada that full load price is $76,500 plus taxes. The F&PDI is included in that price. No discounts from that at all. The electrified version is coming out in 2023 but in Canada the top trim level will be about $25K-$35K higher cost to the ICE version. Besides its NO Gas requirement the EV version is a littler quicker with 0-60 times 4.3 to 4.6 seconds. For me I'd put down my deposit yesterday if the EV version had a time in the 3.5 second range. It will have a 500 kms range on a full charge. PS - Lots of dealer problems with Genesis in the States. Here in Vancouver No problems at all. I have 3 dealers within 40 minutes and the nearest is 15 mins away. Cheers all!!

Nice format having a Instagram model involved in a three-way Race.

It makes sense for the cars to heatsoak but that applies to all the cars in the video, GV70 was quickest regardless but even if it wasn't and the sole reason for the GV70 to win was the "heatsoak" then we can conclude that the GV70 has much better cooling by not getting heatsoacked after back to back launches.

Those shifts on that GV70 look harsh.

Wish we could also see a tuned RDX. Believe people are flashing these with Ktuner V2s

I'd challenge the SQ5 being cheaper in Canada. Adding carbon inlay, park assist, and HUD which would bring the SQ5 in line with Sport Plus trim puts the SQ5 over $76k (Genesis pricing is all in so the price quoted is everything less taxes), I didn't include the sport differential upgrade to the SQ5 ($3600) although the GV70 does have limited slip differential at this trim level, extending the warranty and service to match the Genesis 5 year plan and the gap increases a bit more. Not a significant difference but I think calling them the same price would be a fair comparison. I have a GV70 and I'll be honest, I thought the SQ5 would beat it given the hype from other reviewers feeling the GV70 still couldn't match the SQ5 for the price. Also, the review didn't mention if launch mode in the SQ5 and GV70 was used?

I recently sold my MS and got a GV70 2.5T. I forgot what luxury felt like. I do miss the speed, but the feel of Napa leather giving me a massage, is something Tesla can't replicate. They know software, but those engineers aren't grasping what luxury is supposed to feel like.

It's launch not lunch. And the girl ...just no bro

The Acuras launch was pretty good But that Genesis just be reelin folks in lol

Want more subscribers? Stop with the 2 min commercials in the middle of your videos! Was just about to hit ***SUBSCRIBE*** until the VPN infomercial hit. Other than that, not a bad video. P.S. the girl rocked the launches WAY better than you boys did. Would like to see her in the GV70 and launch it.

Not to mention the the gv70 is rolling on 21in wheels

GV70 nailed it.. Wow, I'm so impressed..❤❤🥳🔥💯

RDX did well for just a base stage 2.... stage 3 / custom tune with intake and downpipe would boogy

Im a Acura/Honda Fan but dang the GV70 is a bargin! My wife is looking for a new mini suv so well see which one she likes

A drag race has NOTHING to do with whether or not a car is the right one to buy. It is a ridiculous assessment. I tested the regular RDX and thought it was loud, heavy on the front wheel bias and funky in terms of the controls. The GV70 is an excellent car (at least from a test drive situation), but the 3.5 was too brutish. I did wind up with a SQ5 and am happy with the choice. If I had gotten a GV70 I would have opted for the 2.5

Thanks Sam for the amazing experience, maybe we can do it again with some more upgrades. 🤣🤣🤣😈

Sam, Why no rolling??!!!! 🤔

Acura needs to hurry up and build an RDX Type-S.

rdx has the least hp. how can you compare?

GENESIS, Hyundai, and Kia are leading the car industry

the gv70 pushing away with every shift is crazy, audi finna be left behind
