As RDX SH-AWD owner, the way that system puts the power to the wheels is awesome and incredibly efficient. Probably the best AWD system and really excels in snow as well.

All Acura needs to do is bring the Type S treatment to the RDX. Maybe put the 320hp Integra Type S engine under the hood paired with the 10 speed transmission? They'd sell a ton of them.

19:30 Resale value + reliability + practicality = RDX all day

The engine in the Mazda behaves almost like a diesel that's why it have huge torque and shifts in such low rpm, since peak power is around 4.5krpm.
I was cross-shopping the RDX and the CX5 and got to test both thoroughly. At the end I got the Mazda because I couldn't justify the price difference and to be honest in city driving the vehicle have enough power.

Now, what makes the RDX perform better than the CX5 it's definitely the transmission, Mazda's 6 speed is very reliable but it hurts performance while the Acura just put everything to the ground.
Mazda also have an active AWD like the Acura that is amazing, both gives you the feeling the car is on rails .

Mazda should put 8-10 Speed with 2.5 turbo engine. That will be a killer combo.

Acura transmission is the difference! Mazda shifts slow and early when Acura shifts at redline and very quick!

[falconking]

CX5 AWD, seems Mazda is the best bet. Driveability, and control is just the best

[ontarioman]

For the price of the mazda, it is the real winner

The Corsair was the most fuel efficient and so much quieter inside than the RDX- pretty fair trade off for only being fractions of a second slower.

As owner of a 2011 MDX with SH-AWD and a 2025 RDX Advance with SH-AWD, the AWD with torque vectoring is a very unique syatem. It takea a moment to figure out how it can help you during daily driving and inclement weather. Once you do, it really makes the difference. I just took delivery of my 2025-RDX this week. I am excited to test drive it this weekend on the open highway.

CX 5 owner all the way from S.A, those car's are meant for fun driving experience. Just put them on the high road and enjoy their fun high speed. Driving from stop to stop doesn't help any car engine 🤷🏾‍♀️

I'm curious as to why they didn't use Lexus nx as it's the direct competitor for the RDX and CX5?

[J.W.W.]

Three loud sewing machine engine notes. This is a fun matchup, thanks! Looking at the tachometer shots, it looks like the CX5 is short shifting itself in the drag race in the lower gears.

Hello Sam,

I selected the Acura RDX for tuning because of its exceptional performance capabilities. With the KTuner and other bolt-ons, I was able to achieve a personal best of 13.8 seconds in the quarter-mile. My average was in the 14.3s

Thanks for another awesome video 📹

Best regards,

Chris Cormier

Worth mentioning that the CX5 is the smallest vehicle here and the RDX is the biggest.

Mazda cx5 is the most beautiful among the three considering its not a luxury brand.

[BlackMagicStudio]

The Mazda was shifting well below redline as if it wasn’t being floored. Each gear shifted at a different rpm. Some were around 4k. Don’t know what is going on here

[amdtify]

I test drove both back to back. RDX A-spec and CX5 Turbo Signature. I preferred the cx5. Leather seats felt more comfy in cx5, dashboard buttons felt better quality, more solid, tactile in CX5. And its far more affordable brand new. CX5 turbo did not feel slow at all actually, lots of torque. My current car is accord coupe v6 which does 5.7s to 60miles as a point of reference.

As well, road noise felt more controlled in the cx5 signature over the rdx in my opinion.

[loktom]

It's the harmony of the engine and the transmission works together thst put the Accura ahead of the Mazda.

[cryptickhi]

For that Lincoln to be the underdog here it sure does pull its weight my goodness 😂
