Actually an MDX and X6 are more similar than an MDX is to an X7

X7 is a Range Rover competitor, X5/X6 are Cayenne/Cayenne Coupe competitors, agreed that it makes no sense to compare a MDX to these, I love my mom’s 2023 MDX Advance but my dad is getting a fully loaded 2025 X5 40i M Sport later this year and the BMW will destroy the Acura from a performance standpoint, I think the normal MDX is more worth it than the Type-S bc the Type-S has low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads and it’s less reliable than the normal

And it’s worth every penny over the Acura, I’m fond of both cars but the Acura lacks performance while the BMW has it

@@CarGeek360 when not using launch control, there's only a 0.1 second difference to 60 mph between the two.

I’d agree with you if they were comparing the standard MDX, the Type-S isn’t worth it to me as you’re sacrificing reliability, getting low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads, and still not having performance, I love my mom’s 2023 MDX Advance and I’m ecstatic for my dad to get a fully loaded 2025 X5 40i M Sport later this year

Agreed fully, my mom’s 2023 MDX Advance is incredible and I’m excited for my dad to get a fully loaded 2025 X5 40i M Sport later this year (we’re selling our 2018 QX60)

MDX is amazing for reliability, my parents had a 2009 MDX for 9 years in the past and we hope to keep our 2023 MDX (that we got almost 2 years ago) for another 8-10 years

Actually the BMW X5/X6 are more reliable than the MDX Type-S but less so than the standard MDX, I feel the regular MDX is a better value than the Type-S as it’s more reliable and neither MDX has performance, my mom’s got the MDX Advance and my dad is getting a fully loaded X5, they are very different and both incredible in their own ways

The OG MDX was an Isuzu Trooper, not made by Honda at all. Same the OG Passport, it was an Isuzu Rodeo. The true first Premium Crossover SUV was the Lexus RX300, which has continued to lead in sales for the many years its been sold.

@AgonxOC thanks but rebadge or partnership is not being fake...supra is not fake shared with Z4, or brz Toyota version, Yamaha engine in LFA, etc. Not sure if you are like most that see Honda partnership or collaboration as negative but forget how many by Toyota and others including Nissan and Mercedes for pickup truck or Porsche V8 in audi, etc

Here you are again! Japanese brands include a lot more than just Lexus and Acura, shall I point you in the direction of Infiniti and Nissan? They have abismal reliability! This is why people like you cannot and are not taken seriously. Nissan has not made a reliable car since the early 00s. So when comparing Acura with BMW, the BMW wins. Heck BMW is ranked higher than Acura by CR and JD Powers. BMW has been having DECADES of reliability. Since the 80s BMWs have been reliably. They had a rough patch in the Late to mid 00, but even since they course corrected. The engines which gave them issues were the N54/N63/N20, none of which have been in production for a long time. N63TU2 has been reliable, the N55 and B58 even better. But you do not care about actual data and only your feelings.

Idk about that comparison, I’ve been in both and the X7 is def nicer but the MDX shockingly has more space, I’d say the X7 is a Range Rover competitor, a X7 buyer will be very different from a MDX buyer tbh

I think from the pricing point these two are a fair comparison, but the X5 would have been better. Again not a lot of people are using the MDX third row in reality. I like the looks of the MDX, but I take the X5 over it (I own a G05 X5, which has been extremely reliable. The car is five years old now). The X5 is a joy to drive, mine even has massaging seats, so the sticker is a few thousands above the MDX, but well worth it. The X5 is cheaper than the X6, so a well optioned X5 will be a tad below 80K, just like this MDX.

@@AgonxOC my mom owns a 2023 MDX Advance and my dad is getting a fully loaded 2025 X5 40i M Sport later this year, and I will agree/disagree with some of your points. The main thing that separates the two is the MDX obviously having more space (and yes the 3rd row is useable). The MDX actually has more space than the BMW X7 and is on par with the Mercedes GLS. Also, the MDX has an edge on comfort over the X5 although both are very comfortable. In addition, the X5 doesn’t have a nicer interior than the MDX although it does have better tech than our Acura. The X5 is def worth every penny over the MDX though as the X5 comes from the more prestigious brand and it will DESTROY the MDX from a performance standpoint (+ the X5 gets superior MPG). Also don’t even try to bring the MDX Type-S into the equation bc it still can’t perform (although being a fantastic luxury SUV), has low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads, and is less reliable than the standard MDX and even the X5 (given that the X5 doesn’t have air suspension). Both our MDX and X5 we’re getting are fantastic vehicles and I’d highly recommend them both! I like our MDX because of the space it has to offer but that aside I will agree that the X5 is the superior car (hence why it’s more expensive)

That's why you lease a BMW but you own an Acura.

If you value reliability a lot, you’ll be happier with a regular MDX than a Type-S tbh, my mom’s 2023 MDX Advance is fantastic

If you want reliability, value and performance get an Acura MDX Type S. If you want a BMW, more than likely it's because you're a fan girl. My mom is getting a 2025 X5, however she is leasing it. She has always liked BMW but even she knows they are not reliable.

@@uocana1 I respectfully disagree however I can see why you say what you say, the Acura MDX and MDX Type-S are fantastic luxury SUVs but mediocre performance SUVs. Also the standard MDX is more worth it than the Type-S as the Type-S is less reliable and has low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads. Also regarding the X5 they are reliable as long as you get the 40i and it doesn’t have air suspension (less reliable than a non Type-S MDX tho). I love my mom’s 2023 MDX Advance (had it for 2 years and hopefully we can keep it another 10) but I’m really excited for my dad to get a fully loaded 2025 X5 40i M Sport later this year (we want to downsize our 2018 QX60). Hopefully we can pay off our X5 in the 1st 12-24 months of ownership than keep it another 5-7 years on top of that. Also keep in mind the X5 will get much better MPG and much better performance than ANY MDX. If your mom is leasing a X5, tell her to opt for the plug-in hybrid (50e). It’s a less reliable car but much better on gas and has more performance. The cost difference between leasing the 2 isn’t much either.

Honestly for the MDX I feel like the standard one is more worth it than the Type-S, you don’t have to deal with low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads and the standard MDX is more reliable (why you get an Acura), also the MDX and MDX Type-S are fantastic luxury SUVs but mediocre performance SUVs, as far as the BMW goes, it’ll destroy the MDX performance wise even the base ones, I love my mom’s 2023 MDX Advance but the 2025 X5 40i M Sport (fully loaded) my dad is getting later this year is def the better car

Is that why the X5 for the last five-six years has been on CR top ten SUV, while the MDX is not even in it? The newer Acuras have been known to be plagued with this items you are attributing to BMWs.

@@AgonxOC mainly the Type-S one, the turbocharged engine had issues initially and we all know the problem with air suspension, the standard MDX will be more reliable (more reliable than the X5 too), in addition some of the early build 2022 MDXs also had issues due to being a 1st model year product which is why I usually like to wait until model year 2 (in some cases model year 3). The new X5 with the B58 is def a reliable car but it’s still gonna be less reliable than a non Type-S MDX (just don’t get the 1st year model of either).

@@CarGeek360 again the MDX is NOT in the top ten list. The X5 is.

I wouldn’t compare Acura with BMW in general, BMW will destroy Acura from a performance standpoint, even the MDX Type-S lacks performance, honestly for the MDX I think the regular one is more worth it as it’s more reliable, cheaper, and you don’t have to worry about low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads, leave performance to the Germans

I wouldn’t compare the MDX to the X5 or X6, BMW will destroy Acura from a performance standpoint, even the MDX Type-S lacks performance, MDX is a fantastic luxury SUV but a mediocre performance SUV, I love my mom’s 2023 MDX Advance but I can’t wait for my dad to get a fully loaded X5 in a few months

@@CarGeek360you left out one crucial point which needs to be mentioned in German vs Japanese brands.,,reliability. German brands cannot match Japanese reliability and resale. If German brands were so great they would not be in the shop all the time racking up thousands of dollars in unnecessary repairs. Sorry, that’s not quality , maybe the semblance, but behind the exterior is a morass of hidden costs. -lease do not leave that out because consumers need to hear that.

Except the BMW is reliable too (with the inline 6), also for the MDX I think the standard one is more worth it than the Type-S as it’s more reliable and won’t have low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads, leave performance to the Germans as they do it better

@@CarGeek360noooooo …overall, no way German brands can match Japanese. Now, come on you are a journalist. Why are you being biased? Any vetted journalist in the business will tell you Japanese build a better quality machine over German brands. You buy Japanese and lease German…that has many meanings behind that statement.

@@PsychicMedium4747here you are AGAIN pushing misinformation. Again we are not talking about the Germans, we are talking about BMW. And BMW is more reliable these days than Acura. They also provide more satisfaction. I have given you enough proof, from CR. Also there are many shitty Japanese brands in the mix to call the Japanese overall more reliable that then Germans. I present to you Nissan. MY neighbor’s Pathfinder with 86K miles is needing a new transmission. Never had that issues with my BMWs, but I did have that issue with my RX350, except that was at 66K miles. Luckily for me Lexus had at the time a 70K-5 year warranty, but man that was a pain in the ass dealing with the dealer. They were worse than BMW.

Agree fully, I love my mom’s 2023 MDX Advance but can’t wait for my dad to get a fully loaded 2025 X5 40i M Sport later this year, the MDX has a the edge on comfort although both are very comfortable for sure but the X5 will destroy the MDX from a performance standpoint, I don’t recomend the MDX Type-S tho as I feel like it’s just an enhanced version of the already great regular MDX but with more mechanical complexity and low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads, the MDX and MDX Type-S are fantastic luxury SUVs but mediocre performance SUVs, honestly Germans do performance a lot better

You left out one crucial point which needs to be mentioned in German vs Japanese brands.,,reliability. German brands cannot match Japanese reliability and resale.

Sorry, that’s not quality , maybe the semblance, but behind the exterior is a morass of hidden costs. -lease do not leave that out because consumers need to hear that. Even if BMW has one or two years of reliability, it cannot match Acura and Lexus decades of reliability. To earn that reputation a few years won’t cut it.

@@PsychicMedium4747 I didn’t leave anything out, you just remain heavily biased

Says no one except chumps who bought an Acura.

My mom has the 2023 MDX Advance and my dad is getting a fully loaded 2025 X5 40i M Sport later this year, I love both but the BMW is 1000% the better car, it will destroy the Acura from a performance standpoint (although the MDX does have the edge for comfort)

@@jacobstrouble6631 Insulting people is not necessary. You should just comment about the vehicles.

@@Digiphex You must have purchased an Acura.

BMW will crush Acura performance wise ofc

BMW is not on the level of long term reliability and resale …you left that part out. No worries, I will fill hat void in for you

X6M isn’t a competitor to the MDX type S

@@naveenthemachine true

According to JD Powers, BMW beats Acura in initial quality. According to Consumer Reports, BMW X5/X6 is more reliable than the MDX. Both companies build quality cars.

lol…BMW having 1 point vs Acura’s decades of reliability lol…sorry, it take years to earn a reliability reputation. German brands cannot match

@@PsychicMedium4747Here you are again spewing BS! Again you have been given data, but somehow that data does not matter anymore. The X5/X6 ranks higher than the MDX, heck the top TEN best SUV by CR, the MDX is not there, the X5/X6 is five and RDX is seven or eight.

@@stevennevins6643 A factor is cost to repair. The Acura should be much cheaper on that. I've had German and Japanese cars. Parts availability and cost to repair are much better on Japanese cars.

@@almassengale. Lumping all German brands together is the mistake. I’ve also owned a BMW, a Mercedes, and an Audi. The BMW, a 2003 Z4, which I owned for 20 years, was very trouble free. The Mercedes, on the other hand, had things failing at 5 years old that should never fail. With any German brand, finding a good independent mechanic is important for controlling repair costs. Having said that, I currently own a 2024 MDX Advance. A son is driving my 2005 Pilot and a son-in-law is driving my 2010 MDX.
