2021 Acura TLX Type S vs Genesis G70 vs Kia Stinger GT // DRAG & ROLL RACE

The 2021 Acura TLX Type S ($62,375 CAD, $54,645 USD) has some stiff competition out of Korea in this drag race. Beside it is the newly facelifted 2022 Genesis G70 3.3T ($59,000 CAD, $51,445 USD) and its direct relative the Kia Stinger GT ($52,995 CAD, $43,690 USD). All three cars make similar power from a turbo’d engine, and all three are all-wheel drive. This should be an interesting race - things aren’t always what you expect when you line up on the strip!

And to Lockwood Kia for lending us their Stinger GT

Genesis is doing great things. I’m glad you guys get their vehicles often, so thanks

Thomas: "Oh there was a TLX in this race"
Acura fans: "And I took that personally"

Edit: my first 1k, thanks guys

Dear Acura,
While there’s so much more to a sports sedan than straight line speed, you simply cannot introduce a car to a segment so late and make it slower than every existing car in the segment. How ridiculous.
Sincerely,
Billy

The hype of the Type S was greater than the actual final product

[CruiseControl]

As a Honda fan it's terrible to see how slow the TLX Type-S is. Should have been 500lbs lighter, no reason to weigh that much.

Got a G70 last year and it's turned out to be a great decision.

[birdseyeview]

Bought the Stinger in 2019, still happy with the choice!

[genesisg]

I purchased my 2019 Genesis G70, April 2019. Currently over 63K miles and no problems.
Still having fun!

[alexbeattie]

Have a 2019 G70, definitely happy with my choice, liked the stinger a lot but liked the interior of the G70 better

[Gruntsworth]

The Stinger is a beast for the price. I may very well pick one up soon. Has impressed me since it was released.

[michaelc]

My Genesis G70 is a week old and I couldn't be happier. Big thanks to this channel for helping in that decision!

It is amazing to see how the Korean brands have improved in a matter of a few years. Great cars, great technology and competing head to head with much established brands out there.

[tylerp]

The G70 has always been a little bit faster than the Stinger. It's a little bit smaller and lighter.

[noladr]

Love it. I bought a 2020 G70 3.3T last month. It's a friggin' rocket. I also think it looks better than the 2022's.

Acura: The car of the Fut...past. Never mind

[ozarkaviation]

Type S needs a power boost to 380+ hp and a higher redline when they refresh it. 3.0T doesn’t pull hard enough at the top end, so it loses in any competition. I should like to think that they could squeeze a bit more power out and keep the reliability. They did it with the NSX.

I can't figure out for the life of me how Acura could have the Type S come back after 13 years and then come to a gun fight with a pellet gun!!?

[hujek]

S-type should of been called A-spec. S-type needs 50hp more at least.

[SEBiS]

KDM is on the rise!!!! Proud I bought my Stinger.

[salninethousand]

I had such high hopes for the TLX Type S - what a massive disappointment.
