How the Acura RDX Stacks Up to the Lexus NX: A Luxury SUV Comparison from Sutton Acura

Sporty performance and versatility intersect to make the new Acura RDX a standout option in the premium sport crossover class. At Sutton Acura, we believe that it's important for our guests to make well-informed decisions as they shop for new SUVs. That's why we've put together a head-to-head premium SUV comparison of the Acura RDX and Lexus NX.

Acura RDX vs. Lexus NX - Performance

Every new Acura RDX for sale in Macon is powered by a 2.0-liter VTEC® Turbo engine that produces 272 horsepower. The comparative 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine under the hood of the Lexus NX 350 is rated for 275 horsepower. But base Lexus NX 250 models only deliver 203 horsepower through a non-turbocharged engine. With Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™, Acura surpasses Lexus when it comes to handling. This setup bumps the performance of the Acura RDX into a new class, and the advanced torque vectoring provides precision control rounding corners in Macon. You can buy a new Acura RDX equipped with Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ at our Acura dealership in Macon. The Lexus NX offers a generic all-wheel drive setup that cannot compare to the Acura RDX.

Acura RDX vs. Lexus NX - Interior

Cargo Space & Legroom

The five-passenger Acura RDX gives Milledgeville families more space to work with. Enjoy an additional inch of front-row legroom riding in the Acura RDX, which checks in at 42 inches. The five-passenger NX has 41 inches of front-row legroom, and cargo space figures of 23 and 47 cubic feet are rather tight. In comparison, the Acura RDX offers 30 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and a max cargo volume of 59 cubic feet. Whether you're on a weekend road trip or having a picnic at Fountain Park in Warner Robins, the Acura RDX ensures you have plenty of space for your belongings.

Features

Both SUVs have a driver-centric cockpit. Invite in fresh air and natural light with the Acura RDX's standard panoramic moonroof. A panorama glass roof is an add-on in the Lexus NX that will cost you extra. NuLuxe® upholstery is seen in the Lexus NX, while the Acura RDX can come with full-grain Premium Milano leather seating - giving your crew a taste of superior quality craftsmanship. Even an Ultrasuede™-trimmed interior is offered.

Premium details, high-grade materials, brushed aluminum, and available authentic open-poor wood headline the interior of the Acura RDX, which offers Iconic Drive™ Ambient Cabin Lighting to set the mood through customizable LED lighting schemes.

Acura RDX vs. Lexus NX - Design

A larger 14-inch display is offered and paired with the Lexus Interface, but the Lexus NX comes with a standard 9.8-inch touchscreen. That's smaller than the 10.2-inch full HD center display within the new Acura RDX. There's even a new widescreen mode that provides easier access to navigation, music, and texts.

The NX can be equipped with a Mark Levinson® PurePlay Surround Sound system featuring Clari-Fi® technology, while Acura enthusiasts from Warner Robins can add the ELS Studio 3D® Premium Audio System to their Acura RDX.
