Performance
The new Acura MDX offers more standard performance capability than the Lexus TX. With a standard 3.5-liter V6 engine, the base MDX delivers 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque, while the Lexus TX offers 275 hp with its base engine.

A 10-speed automatic transmission sets the MDX apart as well, giving you smooth, responsive shifting and handling no matter the condition in Auburn. The Lexus TX offers an 8-speed automatic transmission across the board.
Interior
While both the Acura MDX and Lexus TX offer luxurious, refined interior cabin layouts, the Acura MDX prioritizes intuitive controls and comfort in a more practical package. Features like available 16-way power-adjustable front seats with massage functionality are exclusive to Acura, while a panoramic moonroof comes standard for each trim. Google built-in technology is unique to Acura as well, giving you seamless integration with voice-activated controls, navigation, and apps without your smartphone. You do have the option to connect your smartphone with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well, and a wireless smartphone charger is included for all MDX models.
Size and Practicality
Both the Acura MDX and Lexus TX are three-row midsize luxury SUVs, but the Acura MDX is often a more practical option for city driving thanks to its more compact frame and maneuverability. With an overall length of 198.4 inches, the Acura MDX is easy to maneuver and park in tight spaces compared to the Lexus TX, which has a larger overall frame and footprint. If handling and maneuverability are priorities for your daily drive, the Acura MDX is one of the easiest models in its class to manage and navigate in the city.
Safety and Security
Both the Acura MDX and Lexus TX are well-equipped with driver-assist technology to keep you secure in Opelika and Phenix City, but the MDX stands out with its AcuraWatch suite, including lane-keeping assist, road departure mitigation, blind spot warning, and emergency braking, among many other standard and available systems. The Acura MDX offers a more complete set of standard features than the Lexus TX, making it a clear pick for a more secure luxury SUV in Georgia. Families looking to stay secure and protected on the road will have peace of mind with every drive in a new Acura MDX.
