Whether you’re on the precipice of retirement or have a flexible schedule, you’re going to need an SUV that helps you get from Point A to Point B effortlessly. Good thing the Lexus RX and the Acura MDX have powerful engines that allow for all types of adventures.
In the Lexus, you’ll have a choice of three engines: one gas-powered and two hybrids. In the Acura, you can pick between two gas-powered models. From the jump, you’ll have the power of choice with the RX. Plus, a fuel-efficient hybrid will benefit all those weekend getaways you love to take!
The base engines of these SUVs are quite similar; in fact, they both output over 270 horsepower. However, the Lexus takes the win with its available hybrid powertrains, which are not available with the Acura.
Are you going bed-and-breakfast hopping this weekend? Looks like you’ll need an SUV that can keep up with you! Let’s see what type of fuel economies we’re working with in either model:
When you choose the Lexus RX 350h, a hybrid trim, drivers can experience an EPA-estimated 37 city/34 highway MPG! We’ll let the numbers speak for themselves on this one.
Although your kids have flown the nest, you still want enough space for family visits out of town, beach trips, and that new piece of home décor you just had to have. Both the Lexus and the Acura can provide ample room. Which one will you choose?
One of the biggest differences between the RX and the MDX is their seating capacities. The Lexus can seat up to five passengers, while the Acura welcomes up to seven passengers. Both SUVs are quite spacious, so this decision is up to your preference!
Do you want extra space on board for your grandbabies? The Acura MDX may be the better choice. Do you want an SUV with just enough room for you and your spouse? The Lexus RX is calling your name. The choice is yours.
Although the MDX is larger than the RX, it’s the Lexus that has more trunk space overall. How much so?
The RX has more space behind its rear row than the MDX, meaning you’ll have more wiggle room for a day’s worth of beach gear, camping equipment, flea market finds, and shopping mall bags!
If you’ve always wanted to travel the States, now’s your time! When you have the Lexus RX or the Acura MDX by your side, they can keep you comfortable and entertained for miles and miles.
Inside the Lexus and the Acura, you’ll find driver-centric cockpits brimming with technology. Both models have impressive infotainment suites and these smartphone integrations:
Plus, taking command is as easy as using your voice! Just give a directive to your Lexus or Acura, and they’ll perform your required action.
When you need to scroll your infotainment display or view information at a glance, you’ll want the RX at your side. This model has an available 14-inch touchscreen that enhances your visuals. The MDX’s center display only goes up to 12.3 inches.
In addition to technology, you’ll find several matching creature comforts in the Lexus and the Acura, including:
Ambient illumination also comes standard on the Lexus RX! This feature allows drivers to toggle colored accents throughout the cabin to match their mood and personalize their experience. This feature is available with an upgrade on the Acura MDX.
The 2023 RX and the 2023 MDX would both make great additions to your driveway. However, with its superior efficiency, larger trunk space, and premium technologies, we believe the Lexus will better help guide you through this new phase of life.
