Details on the above comparison
Both the Acura MDX and the Lexus TX offer front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. But the Acura MDX has a real edge with Acura's patented Super Handling All-Wheel Drive. It's an advanced system that distributes power between the front and rear axles as well as between the left and right rear wheels, and it's not available on the Lexus TX. Both vehicles can seat a family of seven, provide almost identical cargo space, and can tow up to 5000 pounds. But the Acura MDX has a much better zero-to-60-mph time and the starting price is significantly more affordable.
Why drive a luxury SUV?
There are a number of outstanding luxury SUVs on the market including both the Acura MDX and the Lexus TX. Luxury SUVs offer a combination of comfort, practicality, and refinement, as well as a spacious and exceptionally comfortable ride. They also offer handsome design, convenient features, and advanced technology. Luxury SUV makers are appealing to a very demanding audience, so a luxury model will be well crafted and exceptionally well-built.
Why the Acura MDX stands out
The Acura MDX is a more compelling choice than the Lexus CX because of the Acura's sportier driving dynamics, and its powerful V6 engine. In addition, the Acura MDX gives you more front hip room, more front shoulder room, more second-row hip room and more second-row shoulder room. The standard engine in the Acura MDX delivers 290 horsepower compared with only 275 horsepower in the Lexus TX. When you consider these Acura advantages and the fact that the MDX has lower starting price, it gives you a lot more for your money.
Why the Acura MDX is a better SUV for drivers
The Acura MDX is a better driver's SUV than the Lexus TX because of its superior handling, more engaging driving experience, and advanced safety features. While both offer a comfortable ride and a suite of safety technologies, the MDX's focus on performance and driver engagement makes it stand out.
The Acura MDX is engineered with a sophisticated double-wishbone front suspension, so it delivers superior cornering capabilities and a more responsive driving experience. It's worth re-emphasizing that the MDX offers Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system, which intelligently distributes power to the wheels for enhanced traction and control, especially in challenging conditions. The Lexus TX uses a more traditional suspension setup, which, while adequate, doesn't provide the same level of driver engagement or agility as the Acura MDX.
