Acura MDX vs Lexus RX
The Acura MDX is a compelling choice in the luxury SUV segment thanks to its blend of performance, family-friendly features, and advanced technology. It offers a sporty driving experience, a well-furnished interior with three rows of seating, and a suite of reassuring safety features. The Lexus RX is another very attractive luxury SUV and both are the most popular models offered by their respective brands. Since you might be considering both, here's a comparison to show why you're better off getting an Acura MDX at Acura of Columbus in Columbus, GA.
Some details on the comparison above
Both luxury crossovers offer a choice of front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. But all-wheel drive is the preferred option for drivers who demand a high level of performance, and that's where the Acura MDX has a major advantage. The MDX is equipped with Acura's patented Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system, to deliver superior traction in a wide variety of road conditions. That's a feature that isn't available in the Lexus RX.
Another big advantage for the Acura MDX is that it's substantially larger. The MDX is equipped with three rows and has room for a family of seven while the RX can accommodate only five. What's more, the Acura MDX gives you twice as much cargo space and the maximum towing capacity is 1500 pounds more than the Lexus RX. While the MDX requires a little more of an investment, it's well worth it get a much larger and more capable vehicle.
Why drive a luxury SUV?
Luxury SUVs provide you with a combination of comfort, performance, and advanced features that aren't available in more pedestrian, standard models. That makes luxury SUVs more appealing if you want a more premium driving experience. They often come with superior interior materials, advanced technology, and comforting safety features to protect your family. They can also offer more powerful engines and more sophisticated suspension systems.
What makes the Acura MDX stand out?
The Acura MDX is a better choice than the Lexus RX because it delivers a sportier driving experience. It also gives you much more cargo space, and a third-row seat with seating for a family of seven. The MDX offers a more engaging drive and a more versatile interior.
But the most compelling reason for performance-minded drivers to select the MDX over the Lexus RX is Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system. It's engineered to distribute power to the wheels that need it most. It does that by monitoring current driving conditions and shifting power between the front and rear wheels, as well as between the left and right rear wheels. The result is a maximum amount of grip and control, and the system is simply not available in the Lexus RX.
Why the Acura MDX is a better SUV for drivers
The Acura MDX is the preferred choice for drivers who want a more engaged and sporty driving experience vs. the Lexus RX, which puts its priorities on providing a luxurious and comfortable ride. The MDX provides plenty of luxury and comfort, while offering more powerful engine options, enhanced handling, and a higher towing capacity.
